it’s not even legal

Isn’t there one that has both, the OS vendor and the hardware seller as a same entity?

I am comparing a 10 year old version of Office on Windows 10 with a version of LibreOffice I used in the same week on that same computer on Linux.

My conclusion of “Office has gotten worse” comes from comparing the ability of MS Office 2015 on Win 10 on a Laptop with Core i7 6700H with 8GB DDR4 RAM vs MS Office 2007 on Windows 7 on a Core2Quad with 4GB DDR2 RAM (oh and an old SATA2 HDD here vs SATA3 7200RPM HDD on the laptop) and observing that they are able to open about the same amount of files before starting to hang.
In fact, at that time, I decided to use the old Desktop PC for that particular work, because it was working better in general and was more productive despite me having to keep it off the internet.

I am no longer making that comparison, because I don’t use MS Office on my PC any more.

But I can say this, if I were making that comparison of LibreOffice of that time with MS Office 2007 (which would actually be much older), then LibreOffice would have lost.

No one should have 8GB of RAM in their pc in 2025 either

And guess what saved my old 4GB DDR2 computer from becoming e-waste, making me still be able to use it when I want?
KDE Plasma. Yes, it works well on a system which I wouldn’t even dare try installing Windows 10.

No, LibreOffice is way better nowadays.

And that is mainly thanks to MS Office having gotten way worse than before.

There is a long standing problem where LibreOffice becomes very slow when adding images. That hasn’t been fixed, last I checked.
But thanks to MS Office now being slow all the time and also taking up way too much RAM, meaning that opening 4-5 Word+Excel documents on 8GB RAM means you are constantly using the page file (my exp. with Office 2015 back then), LibreOffice’s problem is not a big deal any more.

Your experience might not match what I am saying, because I am comparing MS Office on Windows vs LibreOffice on Linux.

I was going to use fancontrol too, but then I read the advice it gave (yes I am one of those weirdos that reads all the text the programs write to the terminal), then looked into my BIOS settings.
It had what I required (a GUI to create a temp vs fan-speed curve), so I went with it. And now I don’t have to worry about copying my configs in case of a new installation, or about removing that particular config in case I boot the HDD in another system.

playable

as in “it does not work on Win 10”?
Because I found it playable, myself. It was on Win 7, if I remember correctly.

better specs to run it than Mankind Divided

Guess I’ll stay content with the old one.

You can get a good deal if you ride-share, in this case. If you have too much luggage, the flight won’t be viable either, so it seems like a doable comparison.

If I am reading the map correctly, mountains would come in the way, for a straight line path, but that is not a good enough excuse for not having high speed rail from Yelarbon to Burra, when there is a rail along the coastlines.

And since I don’t know better, I am going to assume that train cost is dues to coastal maintenance costs.

Did you make sure to spray WD40 into those tubes before turning on that water?
They only said no for drinking water, not for eye cleaning water. Get all the rust out of your eye sockets and lubricate them for grater eye-rolling.

Nice.
Now make that new GPU work with OpenSUSE

Are those arms even useful? You know… for the things that arms are usually used for?

Drywall is primarily made of gypsum, which is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, sandwiched between layers of paper or fiberglass.

On the other hand, it could also mean:

• Number of “me” = 1
• Number of “voices” = 0

Perhaps the voices went away, after getting rid of that pesky concealment, now that the wall is in debugging mode.

C. It’s very likely the context given in the caption is a joke anyway and you’re taking things way too seriously.

You gotta take bokeh-ing seriously.
Did you know, the neighbour’s child go an A+ in their last joke-test?
Now stop lazing around and get back to joking.

Now you know which specific type of animal to give way to.
No stripe, no crossin :P

How is that “me-1”? You just destroyed your wallpaper and found nothing.
Oh, it’s “-1” as in “minus one”. Makes sense.

Next time, perhaps try checking what is on the other side of the wall.

That’s only going to affect me if I am reading something particularly boring and don’t really want to read it.
But if that were the case, I wouldn’t be reading it in the first place.

I don’t feel the need to rid myself of distractions, because when I am not in the mood to read a book, I don’t read it.

Also, this “distracted by functionality” logic is what parents seem to use to get rid of stuff with a screen.
I can say for sure, that people being loud in another room is a much bigger distraction.
If your OS is distracting you, you have installed the wrong one.

I really like being able to Ctrl+F through my book.
But there just seems to be some kind of feel to flipping a page that makes me feel more focussed.

To advertising companies, maybe yes.
But to the ones making the advertisement, we are the wall between them and their money, which just needs to be gotten out of the way.

Yeah, when I first got a link to a whitepaper in the newsletter, I expected it to be a… a whitepaper (I read the meaning it had back then).
After reading it properly, as if I would an academic paper, I thought it was weird that I didn’t feel like I learnt anything useful.

It would take a while (and a few other whitepapers) for me to realise what it had become.
