I already do

I think it was but the only aura mode it would use was a rainbow wave instead of a static color. I ended up using asusctl and got it working on Mint using something someone posted to reddit. So my keyboard is working properly but not the LED band that goes around the front bottom of the laptop.

Linux Mint. I only have partial RGB functionality but I can live with that

Thanks! I am investing the stick with magic Linux power now

I picked up a USB drive earlier, I can just use the new computer itself to get it ready I think

Part of the reason I'm asking for advice is because I'm not really tech-minded lol. I took a night class about basic computer hardware in high school and a single basic programming course in college that I muddled my way through somehow. I think the most I've actually done is tweak mods for paradox games.

I don't need to worry about a backup, this is a new computer and I can factory reset if I need to.

idk how this works. Which variant is right for me and how do I make it be on my computer?

Update: I have a GeForce graphics card. Is it worth dealing with "some trouble" to have a computer without copilot?

Update: I think I have it working, thanks everyone!

Try south Orange County or the high desert

Depends where in California. You might live somewhere where people are a bit more shy about their ignorance.

 

Playing with a new ingredient. No CW because they're both vegan

 

Maybe it's a real uptick, maybe they always did and now I'm just noticing it. I apparently look somewhat ambiguous, because I've had people ask if I'm Asian, Lebanese, or Israeli, all unprompted. I'm none of these. I'm quarter Hispanic. I never felt Hispanic growing up, owed in large part to my upbringing by conservative parents. Raised Baptist, never learned Spanish until high school. I can't and don't claim a Hispanic experience.

So what do I do when a white customer calls me 'señor'?

How do I respond when I'm on a first date with a woman and she asks about an immigrant experience I don't have?

When my white mom complains that I look like a cholo, do I treat that as just racism or racism against me, personally?

When I look at my cousins who can reasonably claim to be Hispanic, I feel some anxiety, like I'm missing something.

Just a bunch of weird insecurity. Hell, even the insecurity about it feels white.

 

Worse than having teeth. Imagine having two giant teeth, but they're built in there even more firmly so it sucks even worse if something goes wrong, and also they extend like half a foot or more outside your face. And you're supposed to use it to eat? Fucking awful. Look at videos of toucans trying to eat. They've spent their whole lives practicing and it still looks awkward, like they're doing their best not to fuck it up

 

 

Season 1 and a large chunk of Season 2 are paywalled.
