M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location
  • It would be annoying, but to be fair, it's the Mac Mini, which is small and easy to pick up. I would guess you could just tip the corner up to press the button.

    I still think it's a dumb design. It's going to confuse everyday users

    If anyone knows about evolving, it's Jeffrey Combs.
  • Today I Learned! I had no idea there was a difference. Apparently they are pronounced the same, it's only a written difference.

    But it seems like in English fiancé is becoming a gender neutral term

    Haggis rule
  • The haggis is on the right. I had it with taters and neeps (turnips) at a pub in Scotland. Was a bit turned off until I took my first bite and, wow... it was delicious

    Daylight savings
  • It's a common myth that farmers want daylight savings, but farmers are actually usually quite opposed to it. Daylight savings was originally proposed as a way to conserve energy, but it wasn't put into practice until the world wars, where energy conservation was actually important.

    Snack rule
  • Is this a conservative meme? I thought it was poking fun at Trump's "there eating your pets" statements from the debate

    Where do you even meet people anymore?
  • Meetups and clubs based around certain interests have worked well for me.

    Examples: writing clubs, chess clubs, book clubs, hiking clubs, debate clubs, etc.

    I have trouble at parties where I have to find things to talk about with people I don't know, but at interest clubs then we're all there for the same purpose and there's a clear thing to talk about! If you hit it off with anyone, then you can begin hanging out outside of the club

  • Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

    I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

    If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

    I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

    I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

    Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

    Update:

    Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

    Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.
