4 hours is unhealthy for most humans. If you consume caffeine (coffee, energy drinks, etc.) it can affect your sleep.

Tennis balls are bad for dog’s dental health. They are abrasive, and can wear down the teeth.

If individual game won’t work, it’s not a problem with the Linux distro you have chosen. First step to solving such problems is looking at ProtonDB. Crimson Desert seems to have a Gold rating, which means, it should work well, but needs some tinkering.

I’m not sure if any mail company is willing to deliver a partly destroyed military equipment with an unexploded warhead still inside across multiple borders.

Ukraine has been bombing oil terminals, and other targets, with their drones only few tens of kilometers away from Finland’s border. This past Sunday two of those drones crash-landed on Finnish soil. No harm was done, and Finland’s stance has been that Ukraine is free to continue bombing whatever targets they deem important.

DST in Europe is from last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October.

”It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump said.

The most intelligent statement I have heard from Trump. What can rest of the world do to stop USA and Israel wage war in Iran?

Just because one option is better than another, doesn’t mean it’s good.

OS level age check applies to everyone, not just children. Some legislations require strong age checking, which means you need to send some identification to some service. You won’t be able to know how the information is handled, for how long it’s stored and for what purposes it’s used beside age checking. And because this applies to everyone, and is required to be able to use your computer, everything you do with your computer and phone is tied to your user account, and as such to you as an individual and identifiable human being.

Some of these legislations uses age ranges, and the OS is required to inform applications, and such, whether the user is, for example, below 13 years old, or 13 to 16 years old, etc. Consider this simple scenario: Some user uses some application, and the OS reports the user’s age as below 13. The user uses the same app the next day, but now the OS reports the user’s age as 13 to 16 years old. Can you figure out the user’s exact birthday and age? If that application is part of some kind of larger network of advertisers and whatnots, they will now forever know the user’s exact age without the OS reporting anything else.

These can also be used to make some software illegal, especially free and open source software. If you can replace Windows with Linux, Photoshop with Gimp, etc. it hurts the bottom line of those companies. Those companies can’t prevent you from using the open source alternative, but it would be in their interest if those pieces of software becomes illegal to use and distribute. If age checking functionality is added to some open source software, the age checking can simply be removed by the user. You only need to correctly form the age checking law and that entire software is now illegal, and must be removed from the internet.

While the intention of these laws might to be to protect children, they cause too much harm for little good. The age checking can be circumvented in some situations, meaning the children aren’t protected. And the entire thing is a huge privacy mess (data leaks, etc.) for every single computer user.

Your computer does boot from the boot drive. Windows just fails to load properly. Safe Mode is intended for exactly this kind of situation, but Microslop in their infinite wisdom has made getting into it as convoluted as possible. See if this helps you to get into Safe Mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-startup-settings-1af6ec8c-4d4a-4b23-adb7-e76eef0b847f

This problem doesn’t in any way affect your ability to boot from USB. If your PC for some reason can’t boot from USB, it’s a separate issue. Can you enter Boot Menu? UEFI Setup? Do you get any error messages when you try to boot from USB?

Most likely just a software issue. Try booting Windows into Safe Mode. If it works, try rebooting normally and see if the problem was magically fixed.

Translation from Simplified American to English: Gas prices are going to skyrocket in near future and will remain historically high.

I agree on that, but Nvidia GPU are by far the most common GPUs among gamers. Some of them might be excited to hear that their HDR woes are getting fixed at some point, possibly in near-ish future. Some people in that forum thread are saying that the HDR extensions are actually already included in the driver, even though the Nvidia guy said otherwise.

Good. No-one else can use it now.

Covfefe?

Next executive order: English is henceforth called American.

Vulkan developers said last year that this is the single biggest bottleneck on Nvidia cards that they are aware of. Of course, the final performance improvement can only be known once it is properly implemented, but their guestimation is that it should bring the performance much closer to Windows performance.

HDR improvements are coming in some later driver version.

In case anyone wants a new speed test.

Not only do you get to pay for the hardware to be able to use the software, and then pay for the software to be allowed to use it. When you use the software it siphons various user data off of you to train their AI with, so that you, the valued customer, can also pay for that AI service.
