Bullet and rifling forensics is not based on science

Or the cops fabricated it to close the case because they have zero leads

FYI they only rolled back that change in one single state. The change will still happen in other states.

Doesn’t look like him. Super convenient that the gun can’t be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.

Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad.

Damn, I have some bad news about America and literally the entirety of it’s history

I think a desktop will pay off in the future when it’s time to upgrade again because you can at least reuse the peripherals, case, PSU, fans, hard drives, typically the CPU cooler, maybe GPU unless that is being upgraded, and maybe even the mobo+RAM depending on the upgrade path. I think the AMD AM4 platform is currently the best bang for the buck, but will almost certainly require replacing mobo+RAM on your next future upgrade.

Given that you also need to build a library of PC games, this could swing the needle towards the steam deck depending on what games you want and how patient you are to buy them. But because you can build that library over time, and PC games tend to be cheaper than console games and have much better sales, I still lean toward suggesting you build a desktop.

Steam deck is definitely a viable alternative, but I’d still go with building a desktop if that is an option to you and if you do not need the portability of steam deck. $600-$700 will get you a pretty decent system (especially if you already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard) that you can continue to upgrade in the future.

Okie dokie then!

continues enjoying the Steam Deck

Hey that’s great that Arma III mods also are realistic! Love to see it. Star Wars Battlefront mods also came close to photorealistic at moments. I’m sure these community made-by-volunteers-in-their-free-time mods were SO expensive to develop that it spurred a handheld gaming conspiracy, right???

Those dastardly indie teenager devs!!! 🤪

Described as “the first photorealistic shooter” by reviewers, there is quite literally no other game that comes close, in terms of graphical realism.

The game Bodycam was developed by 2 people, a 17 and 20 year old, and has the most realistic graphics I’ve ever seen.

And they’ve already lost lmao

I’m using ZFS in RAID1 for my /home directory on Gentoo, but not for the root filesystem. Setting it up actually isn’t too bad. It should be straightforward to install and only a couple commands to create and mount the zpool.

When I upgrade the system, sometimes it does not autoimport the zpool on next boot, and I need to do a # zpool import -f pool_name && reboot, but otherwise there have been no issues.

It looks like they took the two sides of the steam deck and mashed them together.

I’ve seen people specifically request that they do exactly that.

They are great for some games, especially ones that were designed to be played with a mouse. I prefer other controllers for games that were designed for controller though

Wicked

Well, configuring the kernel is where things get tricky and is the major difference between the Gentoo and Arch installation, so that makes sense.

To be annoyingly pendantic, you did get past partitioning the drivea, then!

As a Gentoo user who has used Arch in the past, I have no clue what problems this commenter could have run into because paritioning the drives is exactly the same for both distributions… if they were able to figure it out for Arch, then they can do it for Gentoo
