Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.

You been drinking some absinthe or smoking the ganja-weed?

Or just straight up snorting Flakka

Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

Looks like this one except that it is sealed on one end and the caddies for the two drives have a cover plate that screws in over a gasket and rubber ring.

I got it in a shop in Hong Kong when I was there for a convention earlier this year. No idea if you can find it online, maybe somewhere like Alibaba.

I have a dual NVMe USB3 caddy that’s smaller than most 2.5 HDD housings with currently 2 2TB drives, you can buy 4 and 8TB nvme drives these days too. I can throw that thing out a car and it won’t care.

And the drives are easily swappable and so are the electronics in the casing.

So no, 2.5" HDD’s still are an utterly dead end of technology.

Especially with these and some other vendors, the USB interface is part of the drive (there’s no SATA port on them), so you can’t swap them or take them out for data recovery. They are HDD tech, which doesn’t do shocks or any other sort of roughhousing, they are slow as shit and use far more power than any NVMe drive.

Because you flex and replug the interface often.

The thing you use to plug your phone, tablet, drives and other things with is very often the failure point unless you break screens or get water in them.

Normally you simply have a HDD drive with a SATA interface in there, so if the USB connector fails, you can still easily recover your data.

With these things, you’re lucky if they even offer the possibility of repairing or recovering the drive.

The more they push to train AI on our shitpostings on social networks, the more I’m certain we’re fucking doomed if their AI ever reaches consciousness.

Quite a few really didn’t.

It’s incredible how delusional some of these people are, like Twitch Moderator being 100% convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier delusional.

They are entirely convinced he shits gold and everything he touches is Star Trek tier tech.

This is just a diagnosis of the problem.

That thing is engineered so they can bypass or repurpose ever little bit.

Which is probably what they’ll do now, do a software update that will make the system evade the bad memory segment.

Voyager has 3 computers and only 1 is affected.

Even as far back as XP/Vista Microsoft has wanted to run the file system as more of an adaptive database than a classical hierarchical file system.

The leaked beta for Vista had this included and it ran like absolute shit, mostly because harddrives are slow and ram was at a premium, especially in Vista as it was such a bloated piece or shit.

NTFS has since evolved to include more and more of these “smart” file system components.

Now they want to go full on with this “smart” approach to the filesystem.

It’ll still be slow and shit, just like it was 2 decades ago.

Imho you’re wrong there.

Amazon has every incentive to write down Twitches infrastructure cost as far higher than it needs to be, to make Twitch look unprofitable.

Both to audience and shareholders. It’ll allow them to force more advertising and push up sub prices while making the main corporation revenue look better.

This while the long term plan looks to be more about getting an excuse to shut down the public facing side of Twitch and get rid of having to deal with the streamers and viewers as direct clients and renting out streaming infrastructure to other streaming sites instead.

They want to condense their streaming services to simply be simple products they can sell or rent out to other sites rather than having to deal with a load of consumers and legal liabilities that come with them.

Scheduling power plant maintenance during winter in a country where it gets that cold seems a tad, uhm, insane?

My downstairs neighbor seems to be wearing some of those glass breaking pens you can buy for emergencies, as heels.

Our apartment is incredibly well sound proofed, you can’t hear any of the city noise and usually can’t even hear the elevator bell on our floor, even though it’s obnoxiously loud. You also can’t hear voices, radio or TV from downstairs.

But yet my downstairs neighbor, who apparently ALWAYS wears heels and can’t sit down for longer than 5 minutes, manages to make it sound like someone is constantly hammering a nail into solid concrete, with every step she makes.

The tack tack tack tack noise coming from down there, you can figure out where she is in her place, simply by where the sound goes and comes from. From that I know that while most of the layout of her apartment seems the same, two doors are in places where we have walls.

There’s microphones and even cameras in many of these TVs.

Yeah, that’s why I’ve come to just pay the premium for professional displays instead of consumer TVs.

Before doing anything, if your screen allows it, swap DP to HDMI or HDMI to DP as output, that may fix this to the point of being able to actually boot and further fix the issue.

I’ve had this before with drivers where suddenly it would fail on either port but would still run on one of the others.

Yeah, doesn’t take much to warp a young mind with pseudoscience and pseudo philosophical blathering.

Because the right has coopted the religious right, this is just a merger of oldschool professional religious apologists tactics into political discourse and it took scores of Atheists making videos, doing talks and going into debates to show these people for the lying pieces of shit they are.

But because they moved into fronting as purely political, rather than religious, the Atheists stay away, because it’s not their fight.

This is like how in recent months I’ve been receiving “your account will be shut down” messages from services I’ve been using for literal decades, simply because I only use them 2-3 times a year, when they are actually useful to me, rather than regard them as some sort of social media platform.

It’s super pathetic attention whoring by companies that lost any sense of what value they bring to their customers.

If you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.

I’ve been using Gentoo for ages, as I’m a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.

Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.
