Wow. Linux performance is better in Cyberpunk, even though it is running via proton. How does the article not mention that...?

Showing free demos as their own line item in the store suggestions feels counterintuitive. As a user, I don't want this, it just clusters the interface. I want to see the main game and something on it indicating a demo is available.

As for developers, discoverability is something they are always talking (complaining) about. Artificially inflating the sheer number of competing games for visibility seems like an odd choice in that regard.

It does support bios updates. That's how I do mine on my laptop (a Lenovo).

This is a good workaround, but there is still a bug here. When this setting is unchecked, clicking a gif should make it play. But that functionality is no longer working.

Ubuntu/Canonical is the Microsoft of Linux distros. It's no surprise they were the choice for WSL.

Ubuntu has been forcing decisions on users and embedding advertisements for a long time.

Examples that immediately come to mind...

  • When that Amazon search was embedded into the app launcher search.
  • These sorts of self promotions.
  • Quietly installing snaps instead of debs when using apt install

Losing the Internet Archive would be a huge loss. Unfortunately, greedy companies don't want us to have nice things.

For those who unfortunately have to use Windows laptops for work, there is a workaround. Unplug the laptop before putting it to sleep/hibernate. That's it. Super irritating they won't fix it, but not surprising, too busy trying to shove (more) ads into the start menu.

It's so ridiculous that this isn't even brought up:

The Command you provided worked fine. Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciated! We are going to proceed to make a release today and test with customers. Will post the updates here.

Gotta love being a forced beta tester... I mean customer.

This is only tangentially related to improving your code directly as you have asked. However, in a similar vein as using source control (git), when using Python learn to manage your environments. Venv, poetry, conda/mamba, etc are tools to look into.

I used to work with mostly scientists, and a good number of them knew some Python, but none of them knew how to properly manage their environments and it was a huge problem. They would often come to me and say "I ran this script a week ago and it worked, I tried it today without making any changes and it's throwing this error now that I don't understand." Every time it was because they accidentally changed their dependencies, using their global python install. It also made it a nightmare to try to revive old code for them, since there was almost no way to know what version of various libraries were used.

I can't believe they didn't include the unit. Are we talking 6 small, medium, or large fries? There's variation on where you get them from too. That could be so many fries!
