I have used Kagi for several weeks and can’t go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don’t want to lose that again.

It’s likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

Prey gives you the choices up front, tells you they don’t matter, then gives you a really good game to play.

Start today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.

You can always try Linux risk free in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.

If you like what you see, and you have any valuable data backed-up, you can try dual booting. That way you get to use Linux as your primary operating system, but can switch back and forth as much as needed.

I found I was dual booting Windows and Linux for over 3 years before I was comfortable enough to stop using Windows entirely. Switching to Linux doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. You can take it as slow as you want.

If you are worried, a qualified medical practitioner is always more reliable than a web forum.

Insufficient or poor quality sleep can cause problems with attention and memory, and can exacerbate existing conditions.

Poor sleep could be caused by a medical condition (sleep apnoea), or psychological (stress). Often stress can be hard to identify, particularly if it’s long term stress.

Again, this might not be your problem, and finding the right doctor who actually listens to you is important. Don’t be afraid to try more than 1 doctor if the first makes you uncomfortable.

Lithium batteries scale power and capacity at the same time. Flow batteries can scale power and capacity independently.

The advantage of flow batteries is that they can have enormous capacities without the added cost of upgrading the power, making it ideal for grid scale storage.

Even if this new flow battery reaches the energy density of a lithium battery, and can output sufficient power, it would still need to reach price parity to be competitive.

Adequate for cargo flights, not happening any time soon for passenger flights. Aviation safety is very strict and slow to change.

Flow batteries are great for long duration storage, but not good for high power delivery.

This means they will work far better as grid storage than as EV batteries.

Do you have a source for this? I’d love to look into it further.

I have a prototype self driving system in my car. It drives logically and consistently, but it doesn’t behave like a human.

This would be a really helpful feature as self driving becomes more common.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE) are entirely separate products.

Mint is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. LMDE is being built alongside Linux Mint and is based only on Debian.

Linux Mint and LMDE are functionally the same, but LMDE is protection/insurance against Ubuntu doing something stupid.

I highly recommend Linux Mint (cinnamon) as an entry level Linux distro. It looks and feels similar to Windows, and it’s based on Ubuntu, so it has a lot of support and compatibility.

That would be a great idea, and could even help combat climate change.

Windows kept doing things I didn’t want it to.

The last straw was when I had a 24 hours render running, and Windows decided to update and reboot 1 hour before it was done. I was using the computer at the time, RAM, CPU, and GPU were all at max, the mouse was being moved, I clicked “later” every time the update pop-up appeared, and it still rebooted.

Linux does what I tell it to, and doesn’t do what I tell it not to do. I didn’t think that was a big ask until Windows.

A better comment would be delay in seconds as that is the one thing not obvious from glancing at the code.

Aaargh, that makes so much more sense now.

Hopefully I’ll remember this time.
