  • Ya, they give names for the robbers. Lol. I remembered they had a guy named The Valentine bandit. Because he first robbed his first branch on Valentine’s Day. Some of them get silly names like Fake Limp man.

    Most robberies are very discreet. Mine was just a note and flashed a gun.

    Also note to any would be robbers. You don’t need a weapon. We always comply. A few bucks is not worth our lives. Also if you even show a weapon or implied you have one, you literally increase your charge from robbery to robbery with a deadly weapon which just increased your jail sentence 5 times.


  • Sometimes they have the plate numbers. But we sorta know when someone is coming in to do bad things by the way they are driving into the parking lot.

    Most drivers slowly pull into a parking lot. Find a spot near the branch door. Gather their stuff. Slowly walk to the branch doors.

    A bank robber drives into the lot very fast. Doesn’t bother finding a spot. Rushes out the door and is constantly looking around.

    I only been robbed once and prevented a handful of times. We caught the girl who robbed me because we recognized her.

    I remember being a teller and we would play games guessing what people were coming into do. Talk to a banker or deposit or cashing a check.


  • I used to work at the bank and bank robbers are almost always caught. Not because they didn’t get away from robbing the bank. It’s because once they do it once they continue robbing banks and one day they will get caught.

    We regularly get reports for bank robbers that hit a branch. They typically hit another close branch, but we lock our doors the second they pull up.















  • But why do I need to do a search? Why isn’t it already installed and ready to go? Why must I find drivers for a hardware when I can just plug it into a Windows computer and 99% of the time it starts working?

    This meme advertise that Linux is in equal footing with Windows. Yes, Linux has better privacy. But you can’t deny the usability of Windows. Until Linux has the same feature set prebuilt in, Linux is going to never be ready.



  • Regular, non tinkerers people, normies have different needs, none of which Linux has a advantage on.

    Speed, privacy, old hardware support, benefits from community modifications (gaming performance kernels etc).

    Speed is relative to the task. On my window’s machine, I’m running a 7 year old gaming computer and never thought that my computer is super slow. Also, after installing Mint on it, the speed is barely noticeable at best.

    Old hardware support? Shoot, Mint could barely get new hardware working properly. I had trouble with both my nvidia card and my logitech steering wheel working correctly. I eventually got the Nvidia card working using chatgpt. It took me a few days, but the steering wheel finally started working after reinstalling Windows.

    Also, as far as gaming is concerned. You performance might see a few fps faster on Linux on some games, but if you enjoy games like Rocket League or Fortnite or many multiplayer games, it flat out doesn’t work.

    Can KDE snap to 3 screens evenly? Or4? Or 1/4, 1/2, 1/4? Because Win11 does it out of the box.

    Yes

    Good, I can check it out. Mint and PopOS and Ubuntu does not have this feature.

    I started with the GUI flatpak interface first and after those apps didn’t work, I went to google/forums. At the end of the day, I still didn’t accomplish a simple task Win11 has out of the box.

    I still dont understand what you were trying to achieve that you couldn’t have done, at worst, in Synaptic package manager (a GUI program).

    I’m trying to snap my windows to different ratios or tile out of the box. Mint, PopOS and Ubuntu does not have these features and I was trying to install it first from Flatpak and then in apt-get. Both failed.

    You saying I’m spreading misinformation implies you don’t acknowledge my frustrations and grievances.

    I don’t mean to say you’re doing it intentionally, just that when you state Linux can’t do these things it’s not exactly correct.

    What is inaccurate? That I had a hard time trying to install a very basic feature on Mint and failed? Seems pretty straight forward.

    Don’t get me started on installing Tailscale. While I was ultimately successful doing this in terminal, I would not want my mother in law trying to figure it out.
