I posted last night about my issues with Kubuntu setup (turns out the red flags were mostly red herrings, and it's just a specific issue of my bios), however I've been trying it out in live mode and I like it quite a bit so far, though I haven't put it through its paces, but a few things are not great, and I would really like to solve them before I commit:

First, it doesn't recognize my data drive. I have a relatively small ssd I use for the OS and other frequently used programs, as well as a larger general purpose data drive, but only the SSD shows up in Dolphin.

Secondly, about half (actually slightly more than half) of my USB ports aren't detecting. Some are USB 3.0, some 2.0. 1 port on

Windows 11 finally got me to take the plunge and migrate to Linux (both because of how bad it seems to be, and I'd also likely need a motherboard upgrade to be compatible). After a bit of a look around, Kubuntu 24.04 seemed like the best option, however I spent most of the night trying to install it with no luck. I used Ventoy, which gave me an error code 14 "not a secure boot platform" when first trying to install, and using normal or grub2 to boot into the Kubuntu, either way it seemed stuck at the bios screen with error code -32 "device descriptor read/64".

I figured out legacy mode would solve the error code 14, but still either way I tried to install it, I'd still get the -32 error. I

I decided to do a playthrough of the game aiming to make maximum use of the stat glitches related to drugs, namely Opioid Receptor Antagonist and Wasteland of Reality making booze and drugs Permanent, and the Borscht glitch. I tested with an old save the ORA/WoR glitch and they seemed to work, but the Borscht wasn't permanent. I didn't have the Fascist Thought internalized or even progressing, though I did have it unlocked, so I'm not sure if that was it, but does anyone else have more info on what caused this?

The only other thing I could think of is I had other booze buffs going when I started, to get the most electrochemistry I could before taking the brew, but I doubt that's it, since I

Okay, so this thought popped into my head: the dicemaker says she's modestly successful in your conversations with her, seemingly not doing amazingly well, but well enough that she can brush off the idea that the Doomed Comercial Area is actually doomed, however I did some back of the napkin calculations, and she sells her dice at, for the most part, 7 reál, and she says they take 8 hours to make (technically, in game you have to wait a day, but going by what she said, I'm going to go with 8 hours).

Harry makes 5000 reál as a policeman, which is regarded as tragically low, but even if the Novelty Dicemaker makes dice 16 hours a day, 365 days a year (I'm assuming, since they seem to use the

Most of what I can find only goes back to capot in French, through the German kaputt, as a bridge term, but doesn't go further beyond that, so I was wondering if it still could be related to PIE *kaput in some way.

I've seen other posts, regarding an average medieval person where the consensus seems to be that it's hard to say definitively, but that some literate people might know the absolute year, but otherwise regnal years were still the standard, and likely what most people would have been using if they kept track of years at all. So at what point would the average person know that it was year X in the AD/CE system.

Since I know there are other Calendars that different cultures use, let's restrict it to European, since otherwise it probably wouldn't be until well after Imperialism made it a worldwide standard. But would it be around Enlightenment? Industrialization? Even earlier, like the Renaiss

There's been something bugging me about James the Just, but I don't think it's something I've heard discussed much. Essentially, to set the ground work, it seems to me, from a lay perspective that Mark believed or at least wanted to portray that Jesus' family rejected him, and the Epistle of Jude, while pseudopigraphic, claims to be from Jude [...] the brother of James, despite the fact that James was the brother of Jesus, making Jude also the brother of Jesus.

This seems to indicate to me that James may have been seen as a more important figure than Jesus in the Jerusalem Church (which Thomas' "Wherever you have come, you will go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came int

Is there any way to use a regular USB hub with an ONN android TV? I've been using an OTG adapter for a usb drive, but I've been wanting to add maybe a keyboard and mouse (though that could be done with bluetooth) and migrating my media External Drives from my computer (since there seems to be some playback issues when trying to stream via local network).

But if I try to plug in the usb hub to the OTG adapter (or daisy chain 2 OTG adapters) it doesn't recognize the USB hub, presumably because it's a hub plugged into an adapter, which is probably treated as a mini-hub, since there are 2 input ports, but if I try to plug in the Android TV to the USB hub, it crashes almost immediately after boo

So I have an android TV, that I use to watch stuff on Plex, and I recently got a Bluetooth headset, since my place doesn't have the best acoustics/sometimes I stay up late, and I don't want to keep my neighbors up, but there's a noticeable audio delay, and I'd like to adjust the Audio/Video sync to compensate for that. The problem is that all the information I can find seems to be for other options like the web player or phone/tablet apps, and I can't seem to find anything for the Android TV app, which has a different selection of settings. So is this possible, and if so, how?
