As Corporate Landlords Spread, a Mold Epidemic Takes Root
  • Some of the worst landlords in my city are locals who rent out 1-2 houses to students.

    The least bad landlord AFAICT is a local corporation that mostly rents out commercial space but has a few residential rentals too.

  • I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?
  • I don't have a good comparison for this since my Intel CPUs are from 2014 or earlier, but I was thoroughly impressed with how well my new AMD laptop did video encoding (compared to the only-as-expected bumps in performance otherwise). Do you have examples of how much better QuickSync is than VCN?

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • You're making my point for me though. Each of the other things you've suggested is more work than requires more expertise. Popping up an emulator on an existing box and dumping a ROM in there is something an intern can do.

    All of these other things can be done, but they're not as quick and simple, and that's why we're seeing this in the first case - Nintendo went with a quick and simple solution, and someone found a bug (it still plays Windows noises).

  • Kubuntu 24.10 Released, KDE Snaps at 24.08.2, and I lived to tell you about it! - Scarlett Gately Moore
  • It's the exclusivity to snaps and nothing else that bothers me. Like, you don't have a choice but to use snap for some packages.

    Seems like a weird take. Before snap came along this was true to the same extent of Ubuntu with Debs. The fact that they're migrating some of the packages they maintain (that also happen to be the trickier ones to maintain as deb files) to snaps doesn't prevent you from getting another repo that has the package as a deb and using that any more than your distro not having the latest version of an app prevents you from downloading and building a tarball.

    www.wemu.org Ann Arbor's 'Solarize' program achieves five megawatts worth of new residential installations

    Ann Arbor's 'Solarize' program achieves five megawatts worth of new residential installations

    This is great to see! We need more green energy all over, and rooftop solar is one of the easiest places to do it.

    The new apartments are a mix of studios and one- and two-bedroom units, with a rooftop deck space at each end of the building.

    I think this is a net positive, but I really wish this had more housing and less surface parking. I'd love to see the city start requiring that new developments have most of their parking underground.

    I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.

    This is great! The site, despite being right near downtown, has been blighted and basically abandoned for over a decade.

    www.wemu.org Free Narcan kits will soon be available in Ann Arbor parking lots

    Free Naloxone, also known as Narcan, dispensary boxes will soon be appearing in some Ann Arbor parking locations. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert has this report.

    Free Narcan kits will soon be available in Ann Arbor parking lots

    Personally I think this is a great thing! I've been carrying narcan kits in my car and on my bike for years now. Fortunately I've never had a need to use one, but that also means I now have an expired narcan kit I need to discard.
