Could you elaborate on the reform? I hear the hype yet to me it looks like a severely overpriced tv box with some low-grade peripherials strapped to it in the least space efficient way possible. Did they got rockchip to release sources instead of blobs or something? What is the praise actually for?

Just open the rear door, get inside snugle to the left, open door, exit. Leave the doors open for the next person, while your buddy walks right over the hood.
Jokes aside, been guilty of this quite a few times. Sorry about that. In my defence, this was almost always due to a senile intersection design.
Mine.
Quad screen portable setup, baybeh! Razer’s Valerie aint got nuttin’ on me!
drathvedro@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on3·6 days agoI have a 2001 compaq n600 still being used from time to time as a gateway for old tech as it has COM as well as LPT and analog video outs. It has 1.2ghz celeron, 512mb ram, 30 gig drive. Thing is kind of a beast for its time as my own desktop at that time was nowhere close to its spects. Thing was gifted to me after initially being given to install win7 on it. After telling the guy that this isnt going to happen and the best they couldd hope for is winxp and even then it’d struggle, they told me “oh, so linux is the only option then… well, it doesnt work for me. Have it, then, have fun with it!”. I put ubuntu on it, but still gnome ground the poor cpu to a halt, so I had to switch to Xfce. Luckily it turned good enough not to downgrade further to things like bare X or Kolibri OS. Worked as a solitaire machine for my dad for a few years, helped me fix and set up stuff on a few occasions, but nowadays mostly collecting dust in my drawer.
drathvedro@lemm.eeto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?10·8 days agoIf you have to ask, then there’s no reason not to. It’s people who tinker with their systems that encounter issues with it, or more often random annoyances that add up over tme to those memes.
Realistically, what are the odds of something going wrong unless you light up a cig while peeking right inside the fuel tank? Last year I’ve been taking smoke breaks at the gas stations every week near the pump with the crew working there, because I had to attend stuff in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and wait around for potentially up to an hour with the gas station being the only inhabited place around. Still living and breathing, and I honestly don’t see how it could’ve turn badly. Yeah, I know, vapors and stuff, yadda-yadda, but those can only be in high enough concentrations to be dangerous maybe, at worst, within a hand’s reach of a tank or a nozzle? Otherwise, the station would have much worse problems than smokers.
Yeah, voice chat is all we need.
That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won’t be enough people to hold the line.
Or better yet, host your own TeamSpeak server.
Speaking of which, are there any decent FOSS alternatives? Discord got banned in my homecountry and forcing it through VPN or proxy is a total pain in the ass. Forced my friends to move to TS as that’s what we used back in the day… like a decade ago, but maybe there’s something modern and more open nowadays?
Lets give it to Poland then… Just to fuck with Germans as well
Alright, alright, Russian here, let’s negotiate. I’m generally in favor of Ukraine taking Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia off our hands. You couldn’t take Kaliningrad even over my dead body, but we can offer
a nuclear wastelandNovaya Zemlya instead (but we’ll keep nuking the shit out of it), and Sakhalin, too, just to fuck with Japan even more.Deal?
And what about Belarus? And Transnistria?
Just checked, there are still brand new monitors on the market with just VGA+HDMI (e.g. MSI MP223, DELL SE2722H), but you’d really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel nowadays to find one. I think I actually might have a GPU with one of those lying around somewhere, thought, but does it even count if I never used one?
Yeah, MP Trios and glance which are type c only, latter also having hdmi. Though last time I dealt with desktop equipment I think was within 5 years but the pieces were probably more than 5 years old, think those were xiaomi a1’s and some random chineese FHD panels, with either 1650 or 1050 cards when we’ve built some budget workstations. I swear I didn’t try to avoid DP, just got lucky to deal with last pieces of equipment without it, and working remote on laptops got me severely out of touch with modern hardware.
Yeah. It’s a video interface but I have never seen the physical port, as I’ve said I have 6 monitors hooked using it’s signalling protocol, but all the physical connections are either type-c(DP alt mode) or eDP.
I gotta confess, as an IT guy I have never ever seen displayport in my life. Not a port, nor a cable. Which is especially weird given that I have 6 displays hooked up that technically use it without a single actual port.
Search images for “port”
Literally every single photo is of a ship docked starboard
It’s not just gapps, though. Search, gtags/adsense, youtube, maps, etc are all so pervasive that google effectively controls the internet. You can try run ublock and a plethora of privacy addons, but those are only effective as long as Google is playing nice. Others, like Yandex, are not, and they defeat all those with ease.
Though I’d say running custom rom is an exception from the rule, along with people running with dumb or even no phone, but those are not but a blip on a big picture.

Decent enough, 10-15% overhead with VFIO, as long as games dont use batleye or eac
