I think for the mos part it’s fine, but Windows doesn’t seem to like sharing NTFS drives. So keeping an old NTFS drive with all your games is generally not a problem, but sharing an NTFS game drive between Windows and Linux sometimes causes issues.

From a quick test, that does seem to remove most data.

Instead of that, if you’re going to through that process for just a few files, the Details tab in the file properties has a link at the bottom to strip all that stuff.

If you’re on Windows, right click an image, and go into the properties. There should be a Details tab where you’ll find a bunch of text fields that can be edited.

There’s also data that doesn’t even show in there. For example, your camera/phone could be set up to save its GPS coordinates in EXIF so that you can keep track of where the pictures were taken. Naturally, unless it’s stripped from the file, that data can be seen by anyone who has access to the file.

Most image editing software should be able to delete any EXIF data, but there is also software that can mass-edit all of that stuff to simplify the process.

Keep in mind that we’re in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don’t care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don’t know what’s happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn’t make them bad people, just ignorant.

I’s recommend SLIFT’s album UMMON. It’s an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.

Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.

Don’t try it, Anakin!

Gay is another word for homosexual. Someone who is attracted to the same gender.

So when you pronounce every word wrong, you can make it sound like something else. Neat.

I didn’t know they made that piece. They were incredibly prolific artists with some amazing work for Marvel and Magic the Gathering

They’re using childish cartoon characters to attract young children to the church. I don’t think they care who does what with the characters as long as they get more kiddies to diddle.

Sure is nice having the twin towers back!

This is a linux meme. Clearly it says fsck.

Yeah, for sure. Raytracing is very computationally intensive. It doesn’t make sense to do full-scene raytracing unless you have hardware that’s specifically designed for it. It works for something like quake since none of the scenes are particularly complex, but obviously you don’t hit anything close to the same framerates as you would with raster rendering.

I’ve been playing Cyberpunk on an RX 7900XT at basically maxed out graphics, with only some of the raytracing reduced to get it to a consistent 60 fps. The game looks stupid good. But the raytracing is only for shadows and reflections and it has such a massive impact on performance, though I know my GPU is not as effective at raytracing as Nvidia would be.

Like the other reply mentions, Control also looks great with raytracing on, but the scale is not the same as Cyberpunk, so the framerates don’t suffer as much.

Is your GPU in the topmost PCIE slot and are you sure the GPU is functional? Is the HDMI or DP cable plugged in properly? The manual suggests that it would give an error if a monitor is not detected.

That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.

Until it leaks out of their pocket inside the warm car and drips onto the seat rails, or something similar.

A gallium coin

This could be quite harmful though. Gallium reacts with metals like aluminum and steel in strange and destructive ways.

To be fair to the cashier, they were just trying to do something nice for you and getting you a free discount. I doubt that any “training” was involved, they probably didn’t think that anyone would refuse to give a phone number for a discount.

Most people wouldn’t care, but I used to get so any spam calls that it wasn’t worth the risk anymore.

This only works if you’re from a country with 7 digit phone numbers.

Even better, that splash screen was only 16 colors.
