These are the ones I listen to the most, I think all of them are weekly

• secretly incredibly fascinating. They talk about a simple topic and expand it with a lot of trivia and the hosts are very funny.
• 99% invisible. Mostly about architecture that you don’t notice but they give a lot of cool info (lately some episodes get off topic or I simply don’t like them but they have a huge archive that I listen to)
• my brother my brother and me: just stupid comedy from 3 brothers giving “advice”
• dear Hank and John: the brothers Green giving science-ish advice

I learned with calm.com

They have a course of mediation for beginners or something like that and they “teach” different methods so you can choose whichever suits you the most

There used to be a 3-month trial which is enough to go through the course (I didn’t keep my subscription), I’m not sure if they still offer trials like that

i7 doesn’t tell you anything without the full model number, at least the gen is super important

Boing!

Bought? I don’t remember, but I got free maps of Michigan when I moved here about 5 years ago. They were very useful when Google made me turn into a back road in the upper peninsula and then stopped working when I lost signal (when tho I had offline maps of the area downloaded)

This brought me memories. In college I had a Dell Mini with Intel atom 1st get. It was useless to run engineering apps like matlab or solidworks

I installed OSx86 and those apps ran a lot better using parallels than running natively on Windows, I was even able to play some games on it

Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)

I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple “search for printer” and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether

I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything

Basically same. I also tried sync and another one that I can’t remember but I stayed with Voyager

Getting the windows ME installation disks (floppys) was how I started learning my way around computers. I could experiment with the registry and other files and if I broke something I could just to re install the OS

I mean Duolingo does not teach you to memorize that phrase. It teaches you the structure of the language and words so you can start making phrases on your own

Edit: didn’t mean to sound to dismissive, I’ll give it a try, thanks for the recommendation

What app do you recommend? I’ve seen good progress with duolingo since I upgraded to premium but I’m willing to try something different

And then you can’t use it when the temp is 0F because they decide to do some maintenance
