I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.
Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.
Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.
Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.
At the expense of employee benefits, shareholder value/payouts, public interests, competition, everyone and everything ,except M$ board & C-suite , lost money.
I wonder how Microsoft feels about XBox and other things. Gaining marketshare by throwing money at it is an absolutely viable strategy for companies that can do it.
AMD doesnt need to price-cut to compete here. If AMD could make OpenCL and similar projects more successful than CUDA and nVidia, which requires time,money,investment in people,talent, etc etc. then AMD might in 2 or 3 years have a viable alternative to compete.

It is far far worse. Check LegendaryDrops video about what Ubi developers have told him in private.
Ubisoft as a company no longer exists as it did back when they made good games.
It is all a shitshow right now.
I told the truth and people downvote the truth. It is sad. Somehow pushing “The Message” absolves people of any responsibility to what they are supporting and doing causing problems.
Don’t you have a Penguin sticker on yours ? It doesnt have to be a Windows logo.

In xenophobic Japan, a foreigner especially an African is allowed to massacre Japanese people with zero consequences. The same problem will exist if a westerner enters Japan and massacres Japanese citizenry with zero consequence.
It was a very anti-Japanese ( replace Japanese with Jewish or any other ethnic or cultural or minority group ) game centered in Japan. ( Butsu buddha statue is expressly forbidden in Japan from pictorial / digital / non-real-life representations but Ubisoft decided to make a digital 3d model and place it in AC:S) with blatant disrespect and cultural-dissonance.
If it was Yagyu Juubei and Naoe or some similar Japanese main-characters there would be almost no backlash . Edit2: complete rejection as non-immersive and non-Japanese behaviour.
Edit: Listen to gamers and sensible people who actually care for a good Ubisoft game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUu7-i1kMyg
Edit2: Listen to a Japanese perspective to the problems Ubisoft has caused Japan. An entire country offended for greedy corpos and fake DEI messaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYauJy9fJ0
Driving manual takes BOTH Theory and Practice.
Replay potential scenarios in your head and try to predict how you will react.
Re-examine your realtime reactions on the road.
Learn both rules of the road and real-life motorists reactions to rules.
Safety - Safety - Safety. If it feels unsafe, get off the road safely and wait it out.
Manual driving tips.
Use the emergency-parking-hand-brake for hill-assists.
Practice dual-brake-accelerator press/release.
Practice clutch-release-hold with no brake-accelerator ( fully depressed clutch, quarter-release, half-release, no-clutch … does the vehicle jump forward, at what point does it start creeping forward, what noise is the engine making, how does the gear-stick/shaft feel smooth or vibrating or extremely-stuck, etc etc )
Practice a reliable gear-stick-shift-shaft action. Turn your wrist outward and push horizontal, and up for 1st-gear. Neutral with a downward wrist and wiggle along the central neutral line. Turn wrist upward and firmly push straight forward for 3rd-gear, and tap gear-knob down and wiggle along central neutral line to confirm gear-stick is in the neutral, etc etc.
So by judging how traffic behaves and by establishing clear personal good gear/manual habits, you can improve your reactions.
Look forward of the vehicle for less than 10 meters ( 30 feet ) and drive below 60 kmph ( 40 mph ) if you can’t smoothly handle the manual transmission. Increase by 5 feet look distance as you get more comfortable over several months.
Don’t drive in traffic, park if you feel unsafe without causing problems.
Avoid steep shopping mall parking lots and narrow spaces until you are comfortable handling the manual vehicle.
Add wing mirrors and antenna at the edges of the vehicle corners to help visually identify the area around the vehicle.
Best of Luck and Have Fun once you are good at it. If after 2 years you aren’t getting any results, then manual may not be the best choice for you and you may need to give it up. Automatic transmissions are now making amazing progress and reliability.
No shame driving automatic transmission vehicles.
It is the same/similar problem that Nokia/Maemo and Sailfish/merOS have all had.
Some things are binary-blobs + NDAs and many things are still locked, the OSS community can only do so much before they hit the commercial roadblocks.
We need a complete CoreBoot + OSS silicon-chips + OSS firmware + all-community / all-commercial dual production lines.
The open-source-based company should be able to sell both the commercial locked-version and the oss-all-unlocked-version with the ability to switch infinitely between the two models.
But the world of electronics rarely will ever work or reach that level of interoperability , repairability or recycling this way. Not for a long time maybe in some distant future.
Any sanitation worker, sewage diver, drain block remover, in most of the third-world countries.
We need city drainages to be repaired, cleaned, maintained, and managed with draconian safety, extremely well-compensated, hazardpay up the wazoo workers comp and complete-healthcare all covered for life. So many workers are just abused for the lifeline work that keep a city’s arteries from getting clogged and flowing smoothly.
I saw how Korean drain-workers do it with high-pressure water jets and incredible efficiency and knowhow talent of their vital job. I wish we didnt have the corruption that prevents this type of training, trained worker, worker pride in the essential labour that they do.
Same goes for recycling and reducing waste. We humans don’t do nearly enough and the Top-20 major corporations that cause 80% of worldwide pollutants go unchecked and unpunished.
YT Our Self Reliant Life.
Is that Food Reviews- Running on Empty - Report of the Week guy?
Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.
I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.
Dont they make Tea out of stinging nettles or something?
I’ve tried hibiscus tea which is nice even without the sugar.
Dreams are weird man. Just choose to be calm and carry on. Dont do the inception stuff :-D
I had an entire LIFETIME in ONE night. Dream was super realistic, but it was all anime waifus. From earliest childhood memory till old age and that final darkness basically that last moment woke me up with a start. I never imagined that an entire lifetime in one night dream.
I don’t think I ever had such an experience ever again. It was just one time. Never to happen again so far.
Despite the name, it is rare for the forces to completely balance, and real-world recoilless rifles do recoil noticeably (with varying degrees of severity).
A Vespa cannot take that kind of forces and survive.
Cool! I might give that a try instead of the Ventoy i use regularly. Thanks for the info !
