It is very likely that I didn’t get a proprietary one as I did not realize that was important. I will look around for one and see if it helps, thanks.

You might be right about the cheap knockoff. I just grabbed one on Amazon not realizing that they would be so finicky. I am new to this type of pen and so thought some of this was standardized. I will try to find an official one and after cleaning the nib as another poster suggested give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try that and see if it helps.

Depending on budget it can be a great option. I suggest pricing out what it would cost to upgrade the pieces on the existing motherboard vs what it would cost to build something in the current models with a new motherboard. At the end you will end up with better classes of parts from 2018 but they will still be older and lacking in the efficiencies of newer.

Personally over the past few years I would recommend looking into a newer model AMD Ryzen system. Look into a motherboard from a couple years ago that supports the current gen CPU socket and DDR5 to set yourself up for the future. Get yourself an NVMe M.2 SSD and a Ryzen 5 with 32 GB of DDR5 and you would notice a huge difference and have great upgrade potential with current gen parts.

This all depends heavily on your budget however. Use a site like PC part picker to through all the parts for a few builds in and see which fits comfortably in your budget just recognizing that depending when you plan for your next upgrade, the only thing you could take from maxing out your old system would be the SSD.

What he means is to upgrade to the highest version of parts that your motherboard will support. So as an example, figure out the highest model i7 that will fit your chipset and socket and look into that. Because it is older it won’t have the premium price a new model will have but would still be a considerable upgrade for you. This upgrade would replace your CPU, RAM, Storage, and if you can afford it then GPU. You can do them in stages to save money as well in which case I would recommend this order, Storage > CPU > RAM > GPU.

Correct, the problem for Trump is under our legal system Juries are finders of fact. Trump can argue jury instructions were wrong or certain evidence shouldn’t have been allowed in, but even then the higher courts will determine if it is reasonable to conclude that absent that evidence, could a reasonable jury still have found the verdict. It is an incredibly high bar which is why most appeals fail even for people that we all likely agree were found guilty inappropriately.

While I agree with you in principle, in practice I feel everyone agreed it really only had to be one state. There was never a chance this didn’t go to the Supreme Court and rather then duplicating the effort everywhere, it will be decided there.

Now if the Supreme Court decides this is in fact up to the states, I would then expect significantly more states to take the steps to remove him knowing their ruling will stand.

Because that will fail to detect a program that halts in X+1 time. The problem isn’t to detect if a program that halts halts, the problem is to generally create an algorithm that will guarantee that the analyzed program will always halt given an infinite time running on an infinite computer.

Exactly in the same boat. I would pick up this game in a second on PC, but with all the GamePass, free Epic, and Steam sale games I have there is zero need to ever get a PS5.

Good to hear. I always new the lie the AAA publishers push that no one wants single player rpgs anymore, but numbers like this prove it out. No AAA we aren’t skipping your games because we don’t want the stories m, we are just tired of spending $70 only to discover it is full of micro transactions, always online issues, and all the other AAA predatory tactics!

I used to use LastPass, but after last year I have switched over to NordPass. Been mostly happy with them especially for sharing passwords in the family.

This is my concern. I typically replace my iPhone with a newer model before I need to replace the battery, but the newer waterproof ratings all of my devices are coming with are nice in case I accidentally drop my device in the tub. I understand why people want to be able to replace batteries and I support options for that, but I’m not sure if you could achieve the level of rating newer devices are with this added requirement.

Same here, so many different apps with Meta in the name but none appeared to match this description.

I agree, all I heard before switching was how difficult Lemmy is, but once you create an account I haven’t found it all that different or confusing. Just need to build up the communities to get the engagement going.

R.I.P. Apollo. Liking Lemmy so far. Assuming the communities grow with the Reddit exodus I see no reason this won’t replace my need for Reddit.
