I see people servicing vending machines in public all the time, but the ones out in the city it happens at 2-5am. The ones in my building, it's roughly weekly at noon. Most of the ones I pass with any regularity don't have any IC functionality, but we still keep a Waon card around for when we're visiting nearby cities

Kei vehicles are exempt from most Japanese safety standards, because they're meant for city driving with max speeds of 40-60 kph and everyone driving them knows and acknowledges that you're just fucked if you get into an accident at speeds higher than that (and not doing great even at 40kph). It's an explicit trade of safety for lower cost

That's a bit harsh

You don't even need to read the article, just the summary already on lemmy

There's generally one or two slots connected directly to the CPU running in x16 or x8 if there's two and both are connected, 4 lanes linking the CPU to the chipset, and the rest of the slots connect to the chipset and share that same x4 link. If your cpu has 24 lanes (Ryzen do/did a few years ago, Intel might but didn't a few years ago), the remaining 4 lanes usually go to an NVMe slot

Aren't those the distros? Which one pulls packages using torrent

Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I'm pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before

What aluminum cans are you getting that don't have a plastic lining?

This is a pretty maintained list, and even if I disagree with the inclusion of some things because all you're missing is cosmetics, it is pretty easy to argue that "complete game offline" should include all content of that game, so I'm not gonna start a fight about it

But if you buy from GOG, make sure it doesn't have DRM, because GOG has been selling a few games that have DRM for a few years now

As funny as that would be I don't think it would be as funny as when the internet memed Morbius into bombing twice, which was also Sony

I mean, using a controller in and of itself is not suspect, but the model they used is the cheapest one you can get with a recognizable name and is known for being unreliable, which is absolutely a suspect decision to make when it's the only method of control

Not actually! I mean, yes, you'd need another device, but your router itself can be the VPN host if it's the right model. The VPN server software is extremely lightweight, so most higher end routers just include it as an option in management, but you can get away with a cheap router and something like a cheap raspberry pi/clone, which would also give you something to put pihole on
