In July it's BEES and heat for me in the south of England.

September is nice, not too hot and not too cold most of the time.

The record temperature I reached in my old flat was 37.5 Celsius. Previously it was about 35.

In my current flat I hit about 33 over the summer indoors.

I should have added this was back in 2010 or so, I don't think it was as common to be able to open PDFs in browsers without an addon.

I remember sometime after 2014 I was just able to open PDFs without any additional software.

I used to work IT at a school and reports were emailed to parents as PDFs.

We got a complaint from a few parents saying things like, why are the reports PDF? Not everyone has Acrobat Reader, you should be sending these out as Microsoft Word files.

I then had to tell them that unlike Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader is free to download and install. Anyone can get Acrobat reader or another PDF viewer, but not everyone just has Word on their device nor are they willing to buy it.

I didn't mention the part about a Word file is easy to just edit.

I'm also going to assume that some of them are using a work laptop where they have Word installed and no admin rights to install a PDF viewer and too lazy to ask IT.

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that.

I'm running uBlock Origin as well and I have a Pi-Hole running on my network.

Guessing they chose to advertise it and made it part of the article.

I love how there is an advert and Amazon link for these exact earbuds in the article.

$20 off, worth the potential hearing loss?

Whenever I have walked down there it's mostly buses and taxis with a few cars peppered in.

Been ages since I've walked along there but I remember far more people than cars and at times the street is completely empty.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I have a reoccurring problem in Linux, happening in both Nobara 39 and 40 as well as Fedora 40. I understand that Nobara is Fedora based.

Sometimes my USB headset just does not detect, at all. Plug it in, no notification sound that it has been plugged in and does not appear as an audio device.

I have tried 3 different headsets and none detect. I have to reboot to solve the issue.

A friend of mine is also running Nobara and also comes across the same issue from time to time. It happened again for me today.

While I like Linux, I would love to stop using Windows and make Linux my main OS… I just cannot. Loads of my games and apps do not work in Linux as well as a lot of hardware control software. It took me ages just to get some software to control my GPU fans and I am unable to control my PC fans. From what I understand my motherboard has no Linux support, I cannot see a single sensor in any software I try. I eventually manually set up fan curves in BIOS.

I definitely does not just work for sure.

Adding my Manjaro experience, not good.

I tried it 3 times, fresh installs but it locks up my PC. If my screens turn off after a set amount of time I cannot wake up my PC. I turned off any sleep/standby/hibernate modes, only the screens turn off. If I head out for lunch and come back, the only way to get back in is to hard reboot.

I try not to listen to audiobooks unless I am walking/shopping just so they last longer.

It's a bit difficult for me to find something I want to listen to, I like a very specific type of writing and I seem to stick to it and look for similar.

I mostly listen to Terry Pratchett's books and at this stage I have listened to most of them a few times.

Audiobooks.

Listen to an audiobook and just walk, it does depend where you live though. I'm lucky there are a lot of trails and paths around my town.

I walk about 5km every day, done so for more than 2 years now and listening to audiobooks helps the time pass quite quickly.

What also helps a lot is doing some pushups at home as well, for a few months I did 100 pushups throughout the day and it really makes a difference.
