  • This worked dude thank you so much.

    I tried getting it to run on the old laptop since I didn’t care a bout it but my god of course that user (which is the only one ) wasn’t allwoed to run root adn instead of reading up for an hour on how to edit the groups I finally just ran it as root on my personal machine and it worked. thank you man I was for real about to snap the laptop in half i was getting blinded with rage.

    I normally don’t lose my cool like this so easily but I have to update this to use it or else I lose my job so windows just doing everything it could to not work was making me lose it man.

    Figured this would be like making a linux usb. HAHAHAHAHAHA



  • Because it will have errors with device access I am almost 100% sure. But yeah, I’ll try it with GNOME Boxes or something but I already know it’s going to start talking about udev rules and stuff like that and then it’s another time sink to figure out.

    I tried going to the library to use their windows but you cant download anything (like the garmin updater) so I don’t even know what the point is of having them there honestly.








  • Yeah when they raised the gamepass price from $20 to $30 I sold my XSX. PlayStation has always been better as far as consoles go anyway now I just rock my PC and for any invasive kernal level anti cheat that won’t work on Linux (thankfully) I just get those for PlayStation.

    I always hated Xbox but they actually got me to buy one of their consoles simply because the game pass used to be such a good deal. And they even fucked that up.

    Won’t be long and they will not make anymore consoles. Or just pay to put the Xbox branding on a PC which is what they are doing with the handheld coming out.












  • I’ve looked around but just haven’t found many viable options for some I know that Alienware made one awhile back but no longer do it looks like the poster that replied to you on this comment though found a pretty sweet deal which is awesome. Just smaller than what I would be wanting.

    I want one that’s like 55"- 65" 120hz and has a display port and I haven’t been able to find a single one they’re all TVs full of spyware and no displayport options. (I have my current tv blocked on the router level from the internet)

    I’d even just settle for a smart tv as long as it just had a display port. I might just have to switch to a monitor soon to get the most of my system. I would no joke be willing to save up and pay around 3K for a 55" to 65" monitor with 120hz and a displayport with no internet access. But they just don’t seem to exist from what I’ve seen.



  • When I was in an area that only had Spectrum and was forced to use them I was appalled at how awful the service actually was.

    No exaggeration the internet went out for around 6 to 8 hours on a random day of the month EVERY single month often times twice a month. Every. Single. Month. That I had them. And I had them for right at 3 years! My internet now only goes out if the power goes out and then comes right back on.

    It was also ridiculous quality I pay $40/month for the same speeds I was getting with their $100/month plan. Granted, I use fiber now but still how in the hell was that even ok I actually don’t understand how they stay in business like that. Like I pay less than half for the same speeds with ZERO downtime.

    Anyway after I switched they bombarded me with calls and physical mail. I mean dude they would call at like 8 am trying to sell me internet or phone or whatever. 8 am is insane for a cold call and it seemed like it would always be on the one day I had off that week.

    I finally called them and told them that according to the law (TCPA) if they continue to call I will file a complaint and they will be fined $500 per call. And just like that all the calls stopped. I had to actually make an entirely new email to get the emails to stop though I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the exact screen you posted.

    Also when I returned the router the “computers were down” and they had to hand write me a receipt for it and then months later seriously like 3 or 4 months after that they tried to say I didn’t return it. Luckily I kept that piece of paper but imagine if I hadn’t. I wonder how many people they hustle out of money that way.

    Anyway, that’s my rant. Good luck to you and sorry you have to deal with Spectrum!
