Im 6 million years old now, and im attracted to literal planets.

I remember at 2000 the hur due jokes. But honestly everyone’s giblets are so shriveled at that age (unless enhanced through mummification etc) that gender becomes irrelevant. Kind of comes down to who has the best stories at that point.

Civ V destroyed a week for me. It was like crack. I don’t know how I got loose of its clutches but I will never play that again. It’s like a time portal to the future. Suddenly it’s 2024 and all you did was boot into a game.

There is something about the zen vibe of a shower which gets my creative brain going ham. I come up with so many ideas in the shower. But I don’t want to waste hot water 30 mins a day. I’m yet to find something that works in a similar way. Like a walk is fine, but the white noise of a shower, in the heat with water massaging your shoulders, water dripping over your face. It’s powerful stuff. I’ve tried standing under a heat lamp, but it doesn’t hit the same way. Any ideas?

That’s what happens when you stick your deck in crazy… Always dock responsibly.

Don’t install windows on it too, unless you REALLY need to. Just use the Linux desktop environment it comes with and find Linux programs that will meet your needs. It can not edit videos over 1 minute long without really chugging. It works great as a music daw though if that’s your thing.

Adding windows to the mix makes it less stable, and you’ll need to do a special sequence of buttons every time you boot.

+If you do some edgecase tinkering, you may loose your work when it updates.

That being said, I love this aspect of the device and have Windows booted on it. I treat the instability like a fun puzzle. You gotta be into that if your going to do it. +learning Linux stuff is good nerdy fun.

The best tip I have though, is if you are into fps. Use the right trackpad to aim, set it up so 1 swipe from left to right rotated you 180 degrees and set up the LEFT trigger to fire. It’s a little backwards feeling, but once you get it, you’ll never go back. Took me a year before I could comfortably play fps on it. Then I learned that secret and finished the master chief collection with it. There are vids out there to explain it more thoroughly.

Last tip. Smelling the fan exhaust is absolutely worth the health risk 👍

Invest in yourself. You may be able to follow an online course in your interest that your school doesn’t offer. Like water color or audio mixing, guitar, video editing, coding etc.

Try handbrake maybe https://handbrake.fr Might not be exactly what you want but something to look at while you wait for other answers.

If you are actively making 4k videos through, I think it might be time for you to upgrade.

Ora.pm can do what you want I think.

Can I ask why your trying to drop nextcloud? I only really hear people raving about it. Been considering setting it up for myself.
