Honestly it probably just runs the underlying git command

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 released on Steam in c/[email protected]

Flipping through the reviews, looks like they learned nothing from FS2020. Everyone still stuck in download simulator. If you've purchased this and gone over the 2 hour mark steam support is usually really quite lenient. I had about 10 hours in menu for FS2020 when I finally called it.

Oh, it's obviously fucking stupid.

That's the point, it's petty as shit and would invalidate all of their "45/47" merch, in addition to making her the first woman president, there is no "logical" method to the madness , just shits and giggles

Calendar depends on it. Even in windows 11, mail and calendar accounts in settings don't function right if mail (& calendar) is removed

We should start using leopards instead of elephants referring to the GOP until they adopt it instead

[See inside for repair experience] Does anybody have good experiences with Lenovo's warranty? (self.thinkpad)

Edit: Conclusion at the bottom

I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one.

The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one)

I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside?

AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that).

In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience

How long do updates take? (self.truenas)

Started an update for a minor version and it's been like 20 minutes and I have no display out from the nas and I can't access it over the network. This is the first update I've done on the system how long does this usually take and when should I try rebooting it?
