  • I never said Fahrenheit was better, just that it was perfectly acceptable for use as a measure of human comfort.

    I'm not going to get into what I usually go into because I only commented to answer OPs question, not start a(nother) internet flame war. A lot of people who use Celsius go absolutely NUTS when someone so much as hints that Fahrenheit has some usefulness.

  • I watched and enjoyed TBBT, but I don't rewatch it. I saw one of these videos with the laugh track removed and was honestly surprised at how awkward the show was without it. It didn't change the fact that I liked it when I watched it though.

  • I wouldn't say dumb people. It's a caricature, much like Dennis the Menace is a caricature of small children in a quiet, suburban neighborhood. Only Big Bang Theory wasn't based on an existing comic. So more like Friends being an unrealistic caricature of a late-20's/early-30's group of people living n NYC.

    Entertainment doesn't always have to be authentic.

  • Fahrenheit is a perfectly cromulent unit of measure when the use case is for referencing human comfort.

    The rage it incites in others on the internet is just a side benefit. It's hilariously awe-inspiring just how wound up some people get over a personal preference for a unit of measure. Mr. Fahrenheit should be proud of what he accomplished.

    Trying to re-use some drives with no success

    I have 4 old hard drives that I pulled from an old Drobo that needs to be trashed. I bought a Mediasonic 4-bay RAID enclosure that I thought would be a good upgrade, but knew going into that the drives may not work because the manual for the new enclosure specifically says to use new drives to avoid problems. The exact product is this Mediasonic one.

    I don't care about the existing data on these drives, and that was originally what I thought was meant by "avoiding problems". So I tried just putting the drives in to no avail. They don't show up as drives in the file explorer. They don't show up in "Disks".

    I also have an external hard drive dock - the 15 year old version of this one which does let me mount the drives and see them in Disks.

    I have tried running "wipefs -a" and I've tried formatt

    Looking for Help with Weird Connectivity Issues

    I'll preface this by saying that these issues are on a Surface Tablet that I've been using to play around with, so I haven't been too diligent in documenting what changes were made when.

    I've got a Surface Go 2 tablet with the LTE modem that I installed Linux Mint onto several months ago. When I first made the switch, cellular connectivity seemed very "touch and go" but Wi-Fi had been solid.

    At some point in time (roughly 6 months ago), I switched my home network to using Control D for DNS resolution for about 2 months until I decided it wasn't what I wanted and went back to my default setup which is a Unifi UCG Max gateway using the AdGuard public DNS servers coupled with the built-in ad blocking of the Unifi gateway. This feeds to a separate Wi-Fi mesh network in my home.

    About a month ago I noticed that I could no longer reach internet locations on my tablet when connected to my home Wi-Fi network, but I could still access other computers on my LAN just fine, so Wi-Fi was worki

    Onscreen Audio Popup?

    I sometimes listen to music from Amazon Music through Firefox while I play Rocket League. My keyboard has audio controls, and in Windows adjusting the volume or hitting pause would briefly show an overlay with the current song info and album art.

    In Linux the default behavior is to show nothing. Is there a setting or tool to add similar functionality to the Windows behavior?

    Using WINE for non-Game Programs

    I have a Surface Go tablet that I switched over to Linux a while back, and just came across a problem that I don't know how to approach. I use an iDataLink Maestro module in my car to make an aftermarket stereo do what I want it to do. I want to check for a firmware update on it, but the management software tool is windows or mac only.

    So I installed WINE and the PlayonLinux front end. I successfully installed the tool (Weblink) but the keyboard doesn't work so I can't log into it. The trackpad works though, and this is a directly connected keyboard/trackpad, so for one to work but not the other seems weird. I can find threads about non-functional keyboards with some games, but I honestly don't understand the guidance being dished out.

    How can I troubleshoot and fix this keyboard issue?

    Looking for Guidance on Adjusting Flavor

    I'm a relative newbie to this.. started growing last year, have infused some coconut oil and ghee, have tried a few different gummy recipes and buy gummies as well.

    The gummies and other things that I make at home have a moderate to strong earthy flavor while what I buy is quite mild. How do I work on reducing that earthiness? Is it a function of how concentrated my oil is, or is there a processing technique to remove the smell from the oil before I cook with it? My concentrations so far have been in the 75-90 mg/Tbsp range making me use 2 Tbsp of coconut oil in a batch of gummies to get 5 mg per gummy.

    Any suggestions?

    Distros for tablets?

    I have a couple of Surface tablets that I'd like to put Linux on if possible. The one I want to try first is a 5th gen Surface Pro. If all goes well I would then try it on a Surface Go 2 and hopefully could keep the cellular access.

    What resources are available for doing this? The little I've read so far makes me think that it is a buggy process and maybe not worth the effort involved.
