  • This is solid if you’re somewhat technical. I think it could be simplified with an overview at the beginning.

    • Pick a desktop environment for testing and download the iso
    • Format USB
    • burn iso
    • boot to usb
    • test, repeat if necessary
    • dual boot
    • non dual boot
    • MS equivalent programs

    I feel like the focus jumps around. If they have already made the decision, no reason to list replacement programs.

    Honestly, you might get some better results if you dropped it into AI and asked for a summary/less technical versions of what you wrote. Or it could just make you laugh.




  • I just replaced the left joystick last night and it didn’t even dawn on me to get replacement screws. I did buy a repair kit, which had the tweezers, spudgers and the necessary screw drivers, all of which came in handy. I really wish you would have posted this 12 hours sooner, though replacing the triwings would be fairly easy.

    It is super nice to have a guilikit hall effect stick. I didn’t touch the right one for now, as I wanted to make sure the left one was working given a few of the Amazon reviews. But so far, so good.











  • As someone that works in QA, yeah, they needed something to catch this. I saw someone mention somewhere without a source that they missed it as all test machines have their full suite of software installed. In that scenario, the computer wasn’t affected. So for QA it seems their labs might need to be more in tune with the user base.

    However, the fact that they are able to push this so quickly worldwide seems like a big process issue. I get 0 day issues and that is how they justify it. But deploy to a small subset of customers before going global seems more reasonable.
