You've got two free rental units in your head? No wonder there's no room for anything else.

Least effort doesn't make sense if you want to restore it. Least effort would be to use it as is. The problem with any of these Airstream, Streamline, Elko et al airspace-grade aluminum trailers is that you have to drill out hundreds to thousands of rivets and then replace them again for any significant repair. Doing it correctly takes a truly painfully long amount of time. Also, while these might have been sealed with something more serious than butyl like most of these were, whatever it was has almost surely gone brittle by now. Therefore, if you do not want to be chasing leaks around for perpetuity, you will literally do a full down-to-the-bones restoration of any vintage aluminum travel trailer (or one of the rare motor homes like this.) Also, while you're at it, you're going to want to take the skeleton off of the frame and replace the plywood decking anyway.

Given all of that, instead of trying to remove paint from the original panels, you would replace it. These trailers are made out of war surplus Alclad. It's great because it's both strong and easy to polish, but it's essentially unrepairable. If you have dings in it, you can try heat/cold shrinking them, but even if it were practical to repair (which it ain't, too thin among other reasons) access is nonexistent. Since it's made out of really thin material, the material costs are a small part of the cost of the job.

I got five 5x20 rolled sheets of Alclad for a 1962 Streamline* "Duchess" TT for like five hundred bucks, maybe $550, shipped. No doubt it's gone up a bit since (this was over a decade ago) but you could probably get all of the skin material for around two grand if you shopped around. If you're going to do it, do it right. In the process you'd seal it with polyurethane sealant and it'd last longer than the buyer would live.

* Streamlines were a side project of Lockheed so they wouldn't have to lay everybody off after The War. This one had a little sticker inside above the doorway that said it was made by "Lockheed Missiles and Space Company". They were taller and straighter than Airstreams.

I just bought a PC with Windows 11, and even logged into it and poked around a little bit. I did not open a Microsoft account.

However, I also did not load Steam until I put Linux on it.

These days there are enough Linux users that you can be sure some of them would willfully install kernel anti-cheat software to get a game to run. But as you say, it would be of little use. Also, they would have to support a lot of kernels even if customizations weren't a problem, due to all the versions in concurrent use.

It needed many, and it keeps gaining them. It's inevitable that "all" software (some deliberately proprietary examples aside) that will eventually become or be replaced by Free Software if it's not prevented deliberately, because of the advantages. Linux is simply the most important example at the moment.

Sony has supported Linux before, it didn't go well.

What is 8bitdo doing anyway? They don't have to do anything special to make their programming software work on Linux. Just do it as a web container and it's easy to build it that way too. Electron, in Chrome, or what have you. And their controllers speak standard protocols as well, so there's no need for them to do drivers...

Came here to say this, found it at the bottom of the discussion, last visible comment. Sigh.

As a lighter comment: Do you want Cazadores? Because this is how you get Cazadores.

You don't know much, do you?

Christians have consciously and unconsciously been wanting to die and they think it "holy" and "god ordained" for them to bring us all down with them. it is rooted in shared religious psychosis on a mass scale.

Humans aren't infallible, but even pretty stupid people clearly do things when they think that "AI" currently can't. There is at minimum some kind of filtering and going back to the well happening that the LLMs can't manage. I am not ruling out them becoming capable of it in the future, but they are clearly not there now.

That was literally my first reply to you in this thread. Can you read them?

The computer on Star Trek is not intelligent, it's intelligence is simulated.

LLMs aren't even that smart. Their intelligence is imagined.

So contradicting yourself further is supposed to make it better?

What happened to the deficit under Clinton, who signed a welfare reform bill that made substantive changes?

That would be nice, but even if it happened games would still require patches because the systems they run on change. This is true even of consoles ever since Xbox.
