Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don’t know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn’t hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an order of magnitude.

Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.

And then there’s your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection, unless you’re far from your router. A new laptop might help you get a better wifi signal, if it had a newer wifi protocol or stronger radio, but that’s also going to depend on your router.

But in front of all of that is going to be your modem. Depending on the quality of your modem that might be a bottleneck.

A new laptop, even the best in the world, won’t make your downloads any faster.

I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

I don’t know what I want. Something really basic? But then why not just but an e-bike? I initially thought a ct110 type bike, but what advantage does that have over a push bike? I’m not sure any more. Maybe I just want something I can afford and justify to my family.

The last Batman movie I saw was probably in the Dark Knight series and I’m pretty sure there was no Robin. When was Robin last in a big movie? Has he come back since then?

Wow, I’ve probably seen it a million times but never noticed, but “don’ts” just looks so wrong. “Dont’s”? “Don’t’s”? “Donts”? AAAAAAAHHHHH

But generally they would be parked, right? At the office, or transport hubs? Maybe that’s where the batteries need to be installed. Take the responsibility off private citizens and install it where there’s going to be a mass of cars parked.

I’d only ever say it while referring to myself, and when I do it’s not of a consolation to myself or maybe as a way to tell the other person to not feel sorry about distracting me and making me forget. Is that the same way you interpret it?

It’s honestly my belief that Israel is doing half this shit to inflame the situation in an attempt to force the US into the conflict, because they know that only with America’s military help will they be able to achieve their end goals

Jeez if all flow artists are like this I think i’d rather remain ignorant

Edit: I just googled it and I still have no fucking idea

There you go, proving exactly what the OP was asking about! I just assumed issuing and printing were the same.

When I lost my credit card overseas I was issued an emergency replacement by MasterCard and it only had MasterCard branding. I guess sometimes they issue cards (unless they got a bank to print it without their branding).

Fucking yank-tanks

I’m going to throw this idea into the mix. It’s how I’d handle the situation and it’s generally worked pretty well for me. Ideally you’d send a message like this when your friend is online and playing but it really doesn’t matter when you send it.

“Hey mate, just noticed you and x and y are online. Mind if I jump in for a bit? Be great to have a game or two”

Nice and relaxed, no pressure, no coming off as needy. There’s the possibility he’ll say it’s not the right time or they’re working on something together - that’s fine too, at least you know why. If you join in just play a game or two unless you really feel your gelling with them. Whether you stick around or drop out follow it up with.

“Good game guys, thanks for letting me drop in.”

The next time they’re online it’ll be easier for them to include you or you to ask to be in again.

Auto Hot Key, that’s something I haven’t heard of in a while. Probably because it’s not as essential in a Linux environment when you can more easily accomplish most of what you’d accomplish using AHK in a shell script. What problem are you trying to solve using AHK? Someone might be able to tell you how to solve it.

I got some counselling, then on the anti depressants, they were the first step - let me see why I should do something different, but then I got onto the ADHD meds and they let me focus. It took a while, had to work out what worked for me but once I got it it was the answer I needed. They’re not the solution for everyone, but if you haven’t tried at least talk to someone about it.

Pretty much, but I think originally it didn’t even have subreddits. What set it apart from digg was really the community and comments - the quality of which were much better than digg. Similarly to Lemmy it was originally much more tech related too.

When you build that font you can specify how condensed it is. Check out the open issues, someone mentioned how to do it.

I’m really keen on getting one of these handhelds but there are just so many I’ve got no idea what to choose. I wish someone would make a spreadsheet with things like cost, screen format, max console emulation generation, maybe aggregate reviews or top comments or something.

Unfortunately this is about the first time, I’d (almost) disagree with you. If the US bans something on, or makes a law about, the internet it almost always affects the rest of the world. The only difference is the rest of the world has no say in the matter :(
