Are the Carolina Panthers jerseys A tier, or am I just so not used to seeing them that I’m giving them a pass?

Installed BF6. Had to turn on secure boot. When I came back last night, I can’t boot into Windows. Disable secure boot, wipe the hard drive, and created a boot stick from my Linux distro. Whenever I try to execute that, I see the Windows logo for a few seconds and then this screen. Help

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

Get a new device/app. Use it for 20 minutes. Immediately email the product team with 3 feature requests. I will not apologize for who I become when the ADHD brain kicks into full gear.

College freshman: "so how can I get everything in my room hooked up thru my router?" Me: <explains in great detail> CF: "Wow, you've done this before, huh?" Me: "Yeah I did the same thing when I started college... 21 years ago..." Fucking hell, what is time?!?

I so desperately miss human connection. Pandemic leading to remote work. Moving to a city where I don't know as many people. Having a kid, and less times to do things. Got to sit and chat with people about <SECRET THING> for 45 minutes this evening, and it was a delight.

Started my night by reformatting my Mini PC with Linux so I could start setting up Docker containers. Ended my night by accidentally deleting my entire ebook library. 🙃

Let's say I was setting up a mini PC to run Docker containers for Calibre and Home Assistant. Maybe Jellyfin as well. What other thing(s) should I look into as well?
