It doesn’t say the TV is only broadcast. Lots of people have smart TVs and use streaming services that also force ads upon you.

Depends. On some Smart TVs, if you try to mute advertisements on certain streaming platforms, it won’t let you. It will only go to half volume.

I’m sure that is often the case. But with this series, Its this specific model. A friend of mine has the Asus M32 from the previous year and he was able to get mint installed without any issues. Just bad luck with the model I bought. It’s always given me headaches so not being able to switch to linux tracks

Unless you have an Asus m32cd_a_f_k20cd_k31cd motherboard. I’ve tried EVERY bloody configuration in the bios possible and several different distros, and they all crash / freeze during installation. Fuck you Asus 🤬

It wont be ten times lower. I promise. I’ve researched this. Old Fridges only cost a bit more to run. Factor in the cost of buying a new fridge you now have to buy every 5 to 10 years and you actually come out ahead. My uncle’s fridge costs him 3 dollars a month to run. That’s not that bad.

Old fridges don’t cost that much. My uncle’s fridge costs him 3 dollars a month to run in Quebec. Compare that to a new fridge. There’s not that much of a difference. The whole “energy efficient” narrative is borderline bullshit when it comes to fridges.

This reminds me. I need to call my uncle and ask him about that Fridge at his country place that’s been running since 1994. He’s selling his place and I want that fridge!

Hey thanks for the reply. I wasn’t aware of that community. Thanks very much!

Man, I so WISH I could say no to windows. I would install Mint today if I could. It just won’t install. It begins to install and then just hangs for hours and never installs. I’ve tried other distros and they all fail, one way or another. I’m pretty sure (but not positive) it has something to do with my bios settings but no matter what I try, I have no luck.

"Oh no no! They didn’t miss that information. They’re ignoring that information because big pharma something something… "

Yup. As soon as I see a fancy toothpick in the picture, I know I should just leave.
