"Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part.
  • My best friend gave me his sound blaster after upgrading to the Pro. Later I upgraded to a Gravis Ultrasound. Offloading sound processing to the sound card (1MB) improved gaming performance significantly.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • Oddly enough, OneDrive is the least of my problems with windows. It’s pretty handy at work since I have to juggle tasks between multiple PCs. My only hang up with Linux is games, which is odd since time wise I don’t spend most of my time there.

  • Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?
  • I was under the impression that my source was food grade as well, but I noticed it when coming from soda stream to kegged carb water having a slight bitter taste. Disappeared with the filter and subsequent refills for both soda and beer. It could very well be how strong I made the carb water too.

  • Ide recommend an in line filter for that co2 tank. Had a 20# set up for my kegerator (had a tank just for carb water) The gas should be clean but there was definitely an odd taste to it until I installed a filter. A bit expensive at <200USD but highly recommend.

  • Arizona judge declares mistrial in the case of a rancher accused of fatally shooting a migrant
  • No. That’s what You know. That’s not the same with how things were presented in the courtroom. This is why people get so mad and don’t understand how a jury could come to said conclusion. I’ve been in several juries and this is how they work.

  • Uptick in toxic behaviour/players lately
  • It was bad for me a month ago but I really haven’t had it happen recently. The worst lately is just being kicked shortly after matching or diving in. Other than that it’s just crashes at the end. It’s frustrating for sure especially spending all that time to ultimately get nothing. I can’t control how others behave, just me, so I try not to get bothered.

    The worst back in the beginning was clearing the extraction site, and as we’re about to board, a guy dies to a flamethrower. No prob, reinforce. Only to see the same guy with the flamethrower to turn me into ash. The remaining two extract then start gaslighting us ver sarcastically for dying and how we lost a star because of it.

    To be clear it does say Kicked when kicked. Other wise it’s a crash or host left.

  • Arizona judge declares mistrial in the case of a rancher accused of fatally shooting a migrant
  • No, it just means there wasn’t enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. People like to bring emotion and opinions to the jury room but in the end you are instructed to ONLY go by the evidence allowed in the courtroom.

  • Ability to subscribe to a curated Community list. Is this/can this be a thing?

    After setting up accounts on different Lemmy instances, I think it would be great for a new user to be able to easily subscribe to a bunch of communities without doing it one by one. It doesn't strictly have to be curated; it could be top 50 posts count or whatever. You can then add or remove additional communities. I feel it would save a considerable amount of clicking and searching for the active communities.
