Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they're not valid, just uncommon IMO.

Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make "smart" analog clocks now?

Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It'll "automatically" change, but I have to turn it on/off. It's basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.

It wasn't world, Lemmy.ml is his home instance which does the censoring

SteamOS is arch based and uses KDE Plasma as the default DE, so you could probably run Endeavour OS and be pretty darn close

Typically, this is what the cards are themed as, at least the older sets. White and Black are "enemy" colors in Magic: the Gathering after all, same as Red and Blue, Black and Green, etc (based on their position in the MTG color pentagon).

That said, there were some definitely racist cards that got banned and pulled from databases in 2020, Invoke Prejudice being a notable example.

It shows a hooded executioner with a black axe. “If opponent casts a Summon spell that does not match the color of one of the creatures under your control, that spell is countered,” says the card. It effectively kills off creatures that don’t look like the creatures already on the table.

If this was a recent occurrence, it may have been from the 6.6.5 kernel. There was a WiFi regression in that version that did exactly that, slowed the system to an absolute crawl. I got hit by it on my PC and ended up hosing my whole install (because I panicked and botched things up), but my laptop was fine. I finally got things reinstalled a couple days later when 6.6.6 was released, which fixed the regression anyway.

Strong Bad was ahead of his time when he made the Ab-Abber 2000. Abs in minutes - nay, seconds!

Locally (Baltimore MD), in the city at least, there's been a plague of car thefts for a while, specifically of Hyundai and Kia models. I forget the exact details, but there's a software glitch that basically makes them child's play to hotwire and roll off with.

I had this happen to me recently too, with an EndeavourOS live USB. In my case, it turned out to be due to a faulty flash, reflashing with Rufus fixed it.

This may be rose colored glasses talking, but IMO the GameCube wasn't a failure. It had quite a few iconic titles (SSBM, Animal Crossing, Mario ~~Galaxy~~ Sunshine) and to this day the GC controller is still considered one of, if not the best, way to play smash bros.
