I’m really trying to avoid all Meta products, but Quest 3 seems to have the best reviews and there are some good refurbished and used deals.

I’m not sure what to pick instead, while being cheap and having a PC about 7 years old.

Instead of sweet cereals, I switched to plain cereals and then add packets of sugar. Yes, it costs more for sugar packets than a bag of sugar, but I would end up rounding over a spoonful.

Anyway, each sugar packet is 2.5 g. At 3 packets, on a bad day when I’m eating my frustration, that’s way plenty. And that’s only 7.5 g of sugar. The sweet cereals have at least 20 extra g of sugar. Yikes!

Oh, I didn’t know there was a reduced sugar Ragu.

Laughs in blocking a user with such a troubled comment history.

Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.

If you don’t know you don’t need to reply.

What’s the purpose of making fun of someone for asking a question to try to learn?

Yeah, it did get me to stop also a dual boot with Linux. I’m mostly Windows, so I’ve just used Linux in VMs.

What bugs has it made?

Sorry about the negativity from so many people.

You do what works for you.

Ouch!

I do get a billing error about every 2 or 3 years. Usually something like they double bill a month, or the price for just 1 month is suddenly 2x - 3x the normal price.

I’ve used them for probably 2 decades, getter in because of the $1/month for a year deal.

I think I’m on the top, or 2nd from the top, tier. Has unlimited disk space, but it’s not open access from the start. Every so many tens of GB you have to call to get the soft limit raised. They are trying to keep a bot from just filling the space up.

I use their hosted WordPress, so that they handle the upgrading.

I also have run a few wiki sites on there. Those install and run fine.

I wish I could figure out if I could install OwnCloud or such on there. I’m not great with Linux. You don’t have rights to the OS, but anything you access through a webpage or FTP you can put there. You should have access to chron jobs, but my skills aren’t there yet.

I mainly use them to host my own email domain, that I then access from gMail.

Biggest problem I’ve had with them is they will charge extra if you use a phased-out version of Python. So you have to make sure you keep anything using Python updated.

Sorry about the rude responses from some people.

Exciting! Enjoy the upgrade!

They killed Clippy! Those bastards!

Think of all the Russian jobs spreading misinformation on Tik Tok that will be lost!

Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card?

Can you try a USB to HDMI adapter? I don’t recall how they work with a dedicated card. Haven’t used one since Intel i7 gen 2 days, so my reference points are no longer relevant.
