I don't know what it is either, and I think I'm happier for it

Are the juror's identities out there? I don't actually know.

I can look at the earliest posts and comments on my account from 10 years ago and cringe at my past self. I'll definitely be able to do the same with this account in the future haha

Haha I was wondering what you were pretty sure about with that last sentence there.

I'm not familiar with Book of the New Sun, but can hiruko actually absorb memories? I was pretty sure that was just something the innkeeper was telling herself to feel better about her son being eaten by Taka, and the only reason it took so long to kill her was because she kept feeding it guests. I'm not sure I understand the hiruko being both the cause and effect though, what do you mean? I was thinking the timeline has been pretty linear so far.

After thinking about it more, my best guess on Robin's motivation is that he wants to somehow use the hiruko's regenerative abilities to bring his sister back, and that's the end goal of his experiments. The guy from back on the ship with the rotting hiruko part mentioned a rumor about how attaching a piece of one to yourself would make you immortal and that there's a doctor at the Immortal Order who will do the surgery. That rumor probably didn't originate from Dr. Usami since his work was on prosthetics, but Robin also spent time with the Immortal Order, and we've seen what his experiments were...

Might be interpreting your comment wrong, but it is compatible with competitors. You don't need to use Authenticator as your 2FA for a personal Microsoft account, and you can use Authenticator in place of any other TOTP app. It's OP's IT department that have chosen to disable the option to use other apps.

I didn't realize this was Bedrock exclusive feature. I guess I've never tried to move lots of villagers en masse on Java before.

The statue is definitely supposed to be recognizable, but we haven't seen her in quite a while now so I don't blame you! Mikura Manaka is the person who tasked Kiruko with protecting Maru on his medicine delivery quest from the start of the series.

spoiler
She is also the director after the transplant operation that put her brain in Nata's body.

My confusion comes from what the monument to her is meant to imply though. With it being presented like that on the last page of the chapter, it looks like it should be a big revelation, but I don't see it. Feels like it has to be more than just "she helped take care of the children here for a while".

I missed that this place was New Heaven though... It's a stretch, but what if the children here are a new generation of Hiruko? Mikura must have been doing research somehow if she was able to develop a cure.

This chapter's done a good job answering a lot of the outstanding Robin questions I had, but the big one is still there. What's the goal of his experiments?

Also, what is the implication of the monument in the square? That she had something to do with the orphanage after they fled Asakusa?

It's not necessarily about asking questions or providing the right detail to someone who knows more than you though. After asking for help with the problems I'm experiencing, the answer turned out to be that the NVIDIA driver support for my hardware configuration just isnt there yet. It's not Linux's fault, but unless I spend hundreds to switch my GPU brand or start unlugging monitors, I'm stuck with Windows until Explicit Sync hits the stable release.

Jojo is what Lemmy has been missing all this time imo

Oh yeah for sure, it works great when I set my monitors to the same refresh rate, but I'd prefer to not have to do that because it's a pretty big difference between them. My secondary monitor is 165hz, but my primary monitor is 360hz, and trying to run them at their native refresh rates at the same time in X11 doesn't work at all. I'd have to set the 360hz monitor down to 165hz to match my secondary monitor before things become usable.

The self healing part is for scratches on the inner screen. Since the inner screen can't be made of glass, it's prone to scratches.

 

I'm dual booting Pop_OS and Windows 11 for now while l try things out. I went with Pop_OS for the NVIDIA drivers, since I have a NVIDIA card. Installation went smoothly, but setup is where things started to get a little weird.

I have 2 monitors, a main 360hz monitor and a secondary 165hz monitor. I seem to be able to have them both working at the same time in Windows 11 without issue, but in Pop_OS, setting the refresh rate to 360hz on the first monitor causes both displays to stop working properly. The 360hz monitor will stop displaying picture all-together, and the 165hz monitor will start flickering wildly. Turning off the second monitor brings the 360hz's image back, but then I'm down a monitor. Also, if I set the refresh rate to anything lower than 360hz, they'll both work. I'd like to still be able to use it at the native refresh rate, but I can't seem to find any other solutions or anyone else who seems to have had this same issue.

My second (slightly less annoying) issue is that I can't seem to use HDR in games. Is this normal, or is there something I can do to bring back support?

Also, if Pop_OS isn't the way to go, please let me know! I tried Nobara first, but immediately had issues with the displays locking up and flickering before I even got it installed.

I've just discovered that my monitor of the last 2 years (HP X27q) supports HDR 400. Not great, but an improvement over SDR nonetheless, I'd say. Only problem is, when I enable it, the monitor begins to emit a very high pitch whining noise. It's incredibly quiet, so quiet I didn't notice it for a few days. But now that I know it's there, it's definitely there and I can't go back to not hearing it. What in the world is going on with the HDR setting?

I might be completely misunderstanding the way Android Auto/CarPlay function. They're both essentially just screen projections from your phone to the in-car display, right?

Since my car only supports CarPlay, is there any way for me to "trick" it into thinking I have an iPhone plugged in and get it to allow my phone to display the Android Auto interface on the screen instead?
