Re: MX-18 Won't Boot

I like trying distro's too. Sadly, most of them irritate me more than please me.

Tomorrow, 10/16, the wraps come off...

All the automotive magazines NDA's expire tomorrow on the new C8, mid-engine Corvette. So we'll finally get to start reading about the performance characteristics. I have to say, despite not having a manual transmission, I like the car from what I've seen. Sadly, configuring it for what I'd want is ...

Re: Linux Mint 19.2 released

I'd say it's my 3rd favorite DE after Plasma and Trinity.

Re: I will soon be wifi6 (802.11AX) at my house!!

The big advantage of AC vs. N is 4 stream vs. 2 stream. Of course, the disadvantage is that it requires the 5 GHz bandwidth, which has MUCH less penetrating ability than 2.4 GHz, so AC won't get as good a range as N 2.4. Get the same range as N 5 though. AX (5 only) is SUPPOSED to get better range t...

Re: I will soon be wifi6 (802.11AX) at my house!!

Helps with transferring files internally. I have a small consumer NAS (4x4TB RAID 5) that I use to store things on, and while it's connected via hardwire, the faster wireless speeds would help immensely when transferring things via a laptop on wireless.

I will soon be wifi6 (802.11AX) at my house!!

Since I needed to transfer $500 over to my checking to cover the deductible for the 18-wheeler attacking my car, that was going to leave an odd amount, so I transferred an even grand (it hurt to do that, there's not a lot in there). With the money leftover after the deductible I went ahead and order...
