21·11 months agoConsider two potential creditors:
- Person A has no credit history at all.
- Person B has had a credit card with a $20k limit for ten years, generally has a balance of less than $2k, and has never missed a payment.
Can you see how B is a less risky client than A? A is essentially an unknown risk, but B has demonstrated the ability to manage their debt. A could still get, for instance, a car loan, but likely not a mortgage. And B will get a lower interest rate.

I’ve got an older 3900X that’s Zen 2, but I’m otherwise clear, too.
It’s kind of hard to figure out which Zen # a CPU falls under, so here’s the Wiki page listing all Zen 2 CPUs.
3·1 year agoI’m a month or so into switching from Windows 10 to Ubuntu. I’ve never lasted this long in prior attempts to switch over.
Gaming has been quite good. Steam just works for 99% of the games I’ve tried, with the 1% being one or two minor bugs in games that otherwise worked fine. Lutris, on the other hand, did not work at all. 0% success rate installing or running games.
Linux does still seem brittle and/or unnecessarily complicated, though. For example, I have a super common nvidia card, and my first post-install experience was having to boot into safe mode to fix the drivers. Then Ubuntu updated the drivers and my screens didn’t come back up. I had to hard-reset to get them back. And I have yet to get NUT installed and configured correctly so I can have the PC power down gracefully when the UPS runs low, something which is trivial in Windows.
Is all the frustration worth it to have an OS that isn’t selling me ads and trying to move me to a cloud account? Probably.
1·1 year agoFor me it’s Fusion 360. The launcher for it opens your browser to log you in via the Web. Wine doesn’t seem to support that.
DCS has some sort of time/zone issue preventing me from logging in.
My MX Master scroll wheel behaves oddly.
Other than that it’s been not awful since I switched to Linux last month.
I think there’s a bug causing threads that don’t have an image to pull a random thumbnail. I’ve seen a lot of unrelated thumbnails the last couple of days, but this is the first NSFW one.
