That’s great if you’re in the mindset of “just wipe and reload it’s not a problem” But most people who aren’t chronic computer users aren’t like that. Spending 2+ hours resetting up their computer to be just like it was isn’t fun to most people.
One thing I find myself wondering about is whether we shouldn’t try and make the “ACPI” extensions somehow Windows-specific. If seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. … Maybe we couid define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something relaled to this.
This is insane… Isn’t it like the textbook definition of lobbying?
No, that’d be something along the lines of racketeering and/or bribery. Lobbying is trying to influence someone to do something. If you do it with nice words that’s not typically much of a problem. But when you say you’re going to make sure they’re going to earn a lot of money from doing X then that’s bribery.
Not bd considering that Linux is still less than 5% of the market share.
The goal of these evens are to make co workers socialize with each other. So that way when they’re working on things they know that a week ago at the event bob said he dealt with X, I can ask him what he did. Or John studied Y in school, he could probably help me with this. If you just send everyone home then you’re building an anti social environment where people just exist around each other, and because they’re busy with work don’t take the time to get socialize and get comfortable around the people they’re working with.
I was going to say why is this news now? This was a big thing at the end of 2023. Like they even mentioend it in the article.
The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice
The devices you’re looking for are hyper niche devices that very few people actually want. Most people don’t want more than a basic ereader with an eink display.
Some Dell with a Pentium 3. I didn’t use it much and eventually got a Compaq laptop with a Pentium M of some sort. Also didn’t use that too much. But eventually we got an Asus G50v gaming laptop and I used the shit out of that thing.
Can you just get an aux cable and plug that in?
I actually don’t like the look or feel of my 15 vs my older 13.
I keep my 15 in a case, and fondle my 13.
There is no way any laptop from 2021 doesn’t run windows well enough in a VM. Did you give it only 1 core? 2 gigs of ram? Did you not install the guest tools so you get stuff like 3d acceleration?
At work we run windows in a VM on 15 year old hardware with 0 graphics acceleration and it does A OK.
Settings > trackpad > click
You can change the force required to “click” the trackpad. That applies to dragging too.
I could run it in a windows virtual machine, but I literally use that app 40+ hours a week.
That’s what we do at work, and it’s just fine. Granted this is running on nice mac hardware and not like a 5 year old computer with integrated graphics.
Heavy heavy multi tasking. I have a problem with tabs. I used to make my old 6 core Mac Mini cry in pain.
Plus for work I heavy multi task with work stuff. I’ll be running like 6 different crawlers at once and make that i9 scream.
Man I wish a T470 was enough for me. At this point even the thought of a dual core CPU makes me shudder.
Haswell-Skylake was the last time Intel got good battery life.
Are you really going to nitpick over the st and ignore their entire point?
My mom bought a Jeep. It paid out over what the car was worth in warranty repairs. After the warranty was up the car became mostly reliable for the next 5-6 years.
I think the real pro tip is just never buy a Jeep.
Eliminating snacks was the biggest thing for me.
Nowadays on weekends I’ve also stopped eating breakfast and lunch unless I’m actually doing stuff that day. If I’m just sitting around not doing anything I don’t need the energy, I can fast.
Into the ISP’s modem on the side of your house. From there to a box along the street, and from there miles away to either another hop, or the datacenter in your local area.
Serial communication is typically much easier to manage than parallel. In parallel all existing tasks need to be completed before the next task can start.
The data is routed, and if you don’t need to send the data to you the router is not going to send it to you. The same thing applies to a switch on your local ethernet. But you only really see your traffic and any broadcasts. You don’t normally see Device A talking to Device B.
