I have spent some time recently browsing through the various streaming options listed in the piracy and FMHY megathreads and I am curious which one people prefer.

movie-web for example works great but when you click on a title it goes right to playing where as Braflix pulls up a summary, trailer, and list of actors. Braflix also categories based on the streaming service like Apple+ and Amazon which can be good for content discovery.

Unfortunately you can't click on the streaming service categories to view more and it doesn't list a lot of other somewhat popular streaming services like Shudder. Braflix also doesn't say what whether or not something is a cam rip unlike some sites like himovies.

Some websites also handle sorting better than others or have server problems.

I don't know if people really care or if they just click on the first link they see/use what they've already been using for years.

Content discovery for me is probably the most important factor. I like being able to sort by the IMDb rating and having a section that says "If you like X you might like Y" is also nice.

I watched The Lighthouse with my dad a few years ago and I think that was the most awkward movie watching situation I've been in. We decided to watch it because it had Willem Dafoe on it, a positive rating, and it was on a streaming service he had. It's not really a spoiler but the movie has multiple scenes with a focus on masturbation. Neither of us turned it off because we kept assuming that was the last of it and we would have had to get up for the remote.

I was thinking about something like the P73.

My use case is a stationary and docked laptop connected to an external monitor. I would mostly be using it conjunction with my desktop PC for torrents, watching 1080p videos, and browsing the web.

Being able to have large amounts of storage is nice. The T440P with the disc drive to SSD upgrade was nice for dual SSDs.

I don't think I really need to upgrade that much but it would be nice to be able to do some light (2010 era) gaming when I travel or have less lag when I fire up GIMP.

Easy reparability, eGPU support, USB C ports, and upgradeability/modability are things that I would consider bonuses but might not be needed depending on the system.

I found out about Warframe after playing DarkSector and hearing that the two were related. The reviews seem generally positive with the exception of one massive negative spike.

Is there much in the way of grinding and micro transactions?

It seems more like a job requirement but I feel like it's quite important to me that whoever I date knows first aid.

I imagine someone who hasn't taken a first aid course is still aware of things frequently depicted in movies and TV like how to assist a choking adult or CPR but I feel like it still leaves out a lot.

I can't really recall a lot of media depicting how to treat burns or how to perform first aid on children, cats, and dogs for example so I'm not sure if that would be absorbed to the same degree by cultural osmosis.

Edit: What I meant by my question was if you found out someone you were interested in didn't know first aid and didn't express an interest in it if you'd view it as a negative.

It doesn't necessarily mean you won't date them.

I'm more curious about how important of a factor it would be to people.

I'm not sure why this is being down voted. Do people not care for these kind of questions and want me to delete it?

I like flying around in Grand Theft Auto V in a jet and in first person blowing stuff up and touring armouring around a rainy city in Aircar.

I'm wondering what else is out there. I was thinking about picking up Ace Combat 7. Would this be a good choice?

It has the occasional humorous moment and overall was an enjoyable watch. It kept my interest the entire time largely due to it steering clear of too many typical horror tropes and how unpredictable it was.

I have EndeavourOS installed on my X200S. When I power it on it gets past "Welcome to EndeavourOS" but gets stuck around

Starting Bluetooth service...

Or

Starting Network Manager...

I believe it got stuck on a few other spots previously but I can't recall where. The "Drive in use" indicator light stops flashing at this point. At that point the only option as far as I can tell is to press the power button.

I can boot from a USB drive without any issues.

I had updated my computer but I believe I was believe I did a successful reboot after that.

Any suggestions? I can't seem to find a solution online. A lot of the support pages end with them giving up and reinstalling EndeavourOS.

Solution:

My X200S runs Libreboot and apparently that has issues with the current Linux kernel. I created a bootable EndeavourOS USB unlocked the LUKS drive with sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1/unlockedFolder. Mounted it with sudo mount /dev/mapper/unlockedFolder /mnt. Ran arch-chroot /mnt so I could gain access to the OS. Switched to the LTS kernel using sudo pacman -S linux-lts and edited the grub files to add the -lts.

I originally tried just downgrading the kernel but it caused my WiFi not to work.

The whole issue was quite strange because it would freeze at random parts and even successfully boot at times.

I haven't installed it or tried it out myself but it is being hosted here on GOG which is neat. Here is an article a bit about why GOG is hosting it.

The Steam version apparently requires the use of this downgrader mod from the Nexus.

You will need the GOTY edition with all the DLC either way.

If you want to see how the mod is several people are already streaming it.

Here is some information from the GOG page:

I feel like airports might not like it considering it would be the one of the first things tourists see but I feel like it be effective against snowbird boomers with extended layovers who are upset the airport lounge chairs aren't positioned next to electrical outlets.

Wikipedia pages for each:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)

It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.

I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.
