Don't worry Aussies get a free pass for being pretty damn cool.

What does your wife have against linux? All the porn pop up viruses are on windows, and getting your kid on apple is setting them up to be in credit card debt for the rest of their lives.

Even my senile ass grandparents use Linux and they don't complain about every little thing like they did with windows. My dad wanted a Mac but free so after hackintosh being too much learning curve for him I used some random Mac inspired configs from the internet for one of the Linux DEs that I've never personally used, also no more babysitting and virus induced full wipes.

Parental controls I would do at the router level because eventually kids will surpass you in computer skills. Or maybe they won't because of seo and ai articles taking over the web.

I hate that you are right because English is such a janky ass language.

And don't worry too much on mistakes since native speakers suck at english too.

I'll have to look in to this as well. Certainly less scary than my freehand hot air bga rework attempts. Actually I don't know why I never thought of this before. Maybe I was blinded by having access to the waffle press looking thing for connecting unsoldered emmc chips.

The usage of a USB SD adapter hacked in makes me think that my original idea is at the very least not impossible, though admittedly convoluted.

As others have said they look like jst but I always get the sizes wrong so I just stock all of them. You need the metal crimp bits and the white housing, as well as a crimper.

You strip like 2mm of the wire sheathing and crimp the short blades over the bare wire and the long ones over the sheathing which gets punctured. The crimper curls the blades towards the center when aligned well. For the really tiny ones you need the crimper with the doubled up die that crimps both sets of blades at the same time. The bigger ones you might be able crimp each side separately if the tool fits. With the tool that does it in one go I use my fingernails or tweezers to place the crimp end in the die/jaws of the crimper, click the minimum number of times for it to stay while not bending it too much, then put the stripped wire in really carefully without bending the strands before squeezing the remaining clicks in the crimper. I've also seen people bend the bigger blades by hand to make it stay on the wire then put the whole thing in the tool but I can't do it that way myself.

I moved most of my tools to my new place ahead of the actual move in date and the piece in the pic is just found on the floor or I would have sent better examples of the tools and some failed and successful crimps. I recommend the kit and anticipating a few wasted metal pieces because they are tiny and fumbly and the tool feels ridiculously huge.

I don't know if its still the case but originally Nobara was a "this is for me but you can use it too" type of project.

I never thought about this being possible and now I can't help but laugh at how deceptive nature is.

Raiilll!!! Gimme 10! I need to pet them and boop the beakies.

I'll take gfwl removal but it should have been a crime to implement it in the first place. The current m$ integrations can get fucked too. If you have telemetry blocking via pi hole or similar you can't even sign in. In the case of the game grounded, it would fail to even provide the login screen and just return to the main menu without dropping any sort of error code or message.

I used atlas for a while but there are a number of issues. If I want to flash reverse engineered firmware to proprietary hardware it often requires patched windows tools leaked from the manufacturer and I haven't had that work any other way than stock windows. Capitalism with no real consumer protections has fucked us in so many ways.

Can they just fuck off already? I sign into windows like once every 2 months and every time it's different and a worse experience. All my customizations using built in menus get messed up too and the shit that just shows up without asking. "We put the search back on the start bar!" Like fucking actually why?!
