Also, I’ve never met a hacker that was nearly as hot as Remi Malik.

Ok, so I've definitely heard this before, so he's really hot then?

I guess I see it, he has perhaps a model-like facial structure. But he's always so off-putting when he speaks, I just can't think of him as attractive.

Perhaps my perception is muddled by the characters he plays.

Yeah, I'm well aware. But how much of my time would it take to get a bunch of windows software running smoothly on Linux?

I do appreciate the offer of personal help, that's an extremely generous offer to an internet stranger. Sincerely, thank you!

Superconducting magnets... superconductors are one of those areas where science gets weird.

I'm glad that age has given me the comfort to tell people when I just don't know, and therefore, don't have an opinion on some things.

Yeah it certainly seems to me that as people get older they tend to have fewer shits to give in general. What's funny about it, is that while that sounds like a bad thing, it's often a pretty good thing. It means people are more confident, confident enough to show humility, and to say what they actually think.

If people were never extraordinarily wrong about things, we'd have nothing to argue about on the Internet. What a blessing!

I guess the question is how often do you realize that you're actually on the wrong side of that argument, it definitely happens. And then what do you do next? Dig your heels in, double down and keep arguing? Or acknowledge the realization, make a concession or even apology?

Evidently, it can be hard to be a decent person (hard for all of us), when anonymity means there are no personal consequences to being a dick.

I'm a bit depressed that I finally need to upgrade my last windows 7 machine. It looks like it's 10 for me now :-(

I think this is my favorite comment of the day.

I agree with the second paragraph completely. Although I'm not sure about the accuracy or relevancy of the first paragraph.

Oh no, I can see exactly why you'd want cloud storage in a business... But why as part of your office suite? If nothing else, it seems foolish to tie your storage solution to your office suite. It means your locking yourself into an ecosystem and reducing your options in the future.

Adding all these unrelated features is like saying "check it out! This car has a toaster oven!". I mean, cool. And sure other cars don't, so that's something I guess, but why?

Why would you want multifactor authentication for your word documents? Hell, why do you need authentication? If you're logged into the machine I think you get to use the word processor. But hey, if all this stuff really belongs in an office suite, why not throw in an aquarium screensaver, a cobal compiler and a drive formatter, that would really round the package out.

Yeah that's fair, I've seen how Office business integrates with the OS and a bunch of network services, so I'm not surprised by that. Well, for those corporate environments I expect MS will continue to be the norm. But for small businesses and home use, Libra is really fantastic.

And honestly, for personal use I could do without all that email and calendar integration, good riddance.

Edit: Also storage? MFA? MDM? Why would you want that in an office suite? like maybe MDM is useful, but it doesn't belong in the office suite. And the rest of the acronyms I didn't even recognize... So I'm guessing they also don't really belong.

Sometimes I find myself annoyed by Lemmy users. We love to tout foss alternatives, even when they don't work as well, or aren't nearly as polished.

Libre office is a different story, it has everything you'll need, it's really complete, it does everything you want and it can read any format you throw at it and save its output in any format you need. It launches faster than Microsoft office, it's more stable, I really have absolutely no complaints, everyone should be using it.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I ran memtest at some point, but I've also used the memory in a different machine and had no trouble with it.

I've done several bios updates hoping for some fix, but no beans.

It does feel like a hardware defect, but the unfortunate bit is that the machine ran great for over a year, then suddenly started giving me trouble at some point, so I'm probably outside of any warranty period. That's basically the only reason I haven't RMA'd it already.

Installing mint is a pretty good idea, I could try that. But yeah, a new AM4 mobo is probably my best bet, I can't tell you how frustrating it is though...

Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate it!
