  • As someone with half that list of health issues. I struggle everyday. Most people even family do not care they can leave, go eat, live life. I cannot. Nobody cares until it’s them. They will never understand, have the compassion, empathy, respect to even try to help you, not even to clean up after themselves for things that make you sick, (gluten issues and they leaves pizza crumbs and greasy pans all over counters and stove). Plenty of sorries to help their emotions feel better though. Nothing for you though. Not money to help with medical things. Not care to keep themselves in order. People do the bare minimum and the world is fine with it.

    I don’t want to live like that, not as a parent, myself, or my family members. Shits hard. I don’t want to die or be dead so I’m not looking to OFF myself but fuck its hard to get through each day. It takes a solid, hard headed, self disciplined, never give up attitude to live like this. Yet you still fail to thrive and have any chance of health.



  • What I did was I bought a new Opal Tadpole and plugged it right in and it is one of the smallest clip on 4k webcams you can buy. If not the true smallest. I used it once. Otherwise new in box if your interested. I’d take 100 for it. It’s really small so it stays out of the way. Only reason I’d part with it is because I switched away from the surface pro 8 where I needed it and back to a dell laptop and distro where I no longer need it. Used literally once. New with box.


  • Just an FYI. I just went through a giant debacle doing this. Surface pro 8 top of the line 32gb ram model. DO NOT expect the touch to be phone or daily driver ready. Text box keyboards do not pop up or if they do its so delayed in typing that you’ll give up using it. ZERO 3rd party software closes the gap, onboard or any other keyboard that is virtual won’t help. Stick with the Folio or keyboard and mouse and your good. Linux is no quite there for touch support atleast not Mint.

    The battery life will be a few hours at best even tweaked to hell for energy savings. It will get hot under any real usage beyond browsing and a handful of tabs. Especially while charging and using.

    I tried the new Dell 2 in 1, the Surface pro 8, I ended up back on a laptop its just smoother and easier and the overall hardware is better including battery. I was wanting this to work so bad. The slate concept seems good on paper but not IRL. There’s a reason they haven’t gained as much traction in the market as you’d expect.




  • I didn’t so a reinstall I simply swapped my ssd into another PC. When I sold my amd rig. System logs show no errors that im aware of when in the GUI system reports in mint. It’s works fine on windows but on mint it cuts off about 5 percent of the screen or 10 all the way around. So I’m missing the start icon and such. I have never deletes nvidia files or configs. I’m used to amd and never used nvidia before. I did however try every driver from noveau to 575 open. All of them made no difference or made it worse.
