Depends on the games you like. It won't perform well at 4k, or with newer FPS titles. Most games should be playable at low-medium quality settings.

Even if all that were true^1^, it still doesn't justify Russia's invasion. Russia doesn't own Russian speaking Ukrainians. Russia has neither the duty nor right to invade to "protect" Russian speaking minorities in any country.

^1^ It isn't

My first vehicle was a 1971 Ford 3/4 ton. It was extremely reliable and tough. Having sat for most of the previous 30 years in a barn, it even looked good.

But it had all of the safety features of 1971. Power brakes the would lock up and throw you off the road if you more than thought about braking. Lap belts and a solid steel steering wheel to smash your teeth on. If you somehow hit the steering wheel hard enough to break it, you'd be impaled on the steel pipe steering column. Speaking of the steering, it didn't have power steering, so if you hit a rut on a rough road, the steering wheel would spin out of control. You had to just let go of it until it stopped spinning lest it break your thumbs. Also, the gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat for extra car crash fun.

It was a beautiful death trap. I kinda wish I could have put it back into a barn for another 30 years instead of selling it.

Or maybe 13,500 miles. But what's a few zeros between friends?

Well that's just lying be omission. Lots of people were disabled or disfigured too.

/sbin is like /bin, but for system administrative type commands. /usr holds all the other software that isn't critical to get the system up and running.

A device file is a special file that's like a pointer to a piece of actual hardware, like a serial port or a hard drive. /dev also has some non-hardware special files like /dev/zero. When you read from that one, you get an endless stream of zeros. Or /dev/null, that discards any data that's written to it.

Also, unless you're one of those people who legitimately doesn't care if food tastes good or not, learn to cook. You don't have to be good a cooking everything, but develop a repertoire of food that is healthy and you like to eat.

The age where you could depend on a wife to be a good cook for you are long past.

It's not a hard real time OS though. Real Time Linux would be appropriate for some subsystems in a car, but not for things that are safety critical with hard timing constraints, e.g. ABS controllers.

Honestly, they can just send the keywords. No need to send audio if they can match 1000 or so words that are most meaningful to advertisers and send counts of those.

AFAIK this is only speculated, not proven.

The bear uses Arch, BTW.

And that's why you should never pull an unconscious person out of a fire. QED.
