  • My friend gave me his old 6800, so I sunk the money for a TH3 P4G3 (I don’t know why the model name says “the page,” but it’s really easy to remember!)

    I chose the LeGo specifically for the FPS mouse because my primary intended use for the LeGo was photo editing and graphic design. When copilot showed up on my LeGo one day, I decided I’d rather own a brick than that completely ruined operating system, so I wiped everything and went for Linux. I still haven’t acclimated to photo editing on Linux, but holy shit, inkscape is fucking amazing.

    On Windows, using the eGPU was a whole song and dance involving lots of incantations and magic. On Bazzite, it’s plug and go. It’s stunning being able to play Diablo 4 on ultra settings at 1200 resolution and 60-90 fps, should I want to, or on medium settings if I just want to chill and fuck around on an 8-inch screen.

    The LeGo is the first piece of technology that I pre-ordered on the day sales started, and it’s the first computer that I’m considering replacing with its upgrade so soon. Depending on reviews, I might try to sell this one and upgrade to the 2 if I can actually take advantage of the extra RAM and upgraded FPS mouse. A current project I’m working on is remapping the buttons on the mouse and controller as input for plover, so that I can type and navigate in a totally comfortable, ergonomic position and potentially speed up my design/dev work.

    I know that last paragraph had nothing to do with our previous exchange, but there ya have it. Nice to chat with someone who understands the joys of owning a Go.


  • Thanks for warning us before you pull the trigger. I may not have voted for any of you fuckers, but I’ll be damned if you didn’t warn us about all the ways you were gonna ruin our lives before the morons around me voted for you.

    I sure am glad Beto O’Rourke didn’t win. Sure, I got plenty of access to firearms whether in my house or at the multiple gun stores down the street—and, sure, I’ve never considered owning an AR-15, but I don’t wanna protect children as much as I want bat-shit crazy neighbor to have the freedom to own 3: two of which he welded together.

    My freedom keeps my belly full and warms my bed at night.

    Edit: I got angry and went on a loony tangent of a rant. Sorry.
