The entire second to last sent where you listed being wreckless and then ignoring that stop lights aren’t in fact stop signs. Running red lights is very chode-like, speeding to get through yellows is wreckless, and both are irresponsible.
Sounds like something an irresponsible wreckless chode would do. I hope you’re just kidding because I wouldn’t want you to be an irresponsible wreckless chode.
I’m on Arch KDE and have and Nvidia 2080ti. I can’t run Wayland. Otherwise I run 3 monitors, 1 an ultra wide at 120hz. I haven’t had any issues.
Some multiplayer, but not all. Not that that makes it perfect, but I’ve had minimal issues with multiplayer games. I do not play popular FPS games where anti cheat software is prevalent, so that’s mostly why. I did get Ghost of Tsushima the other day, and that is not compatible for online play, but I think that’s because of Sony.
The most popular stable Linux distros are no more difficult to understand than Windows to the average and below average user. If your dad still doesn’t understand XP, then he never will. Also, it means he is not a power user and can be shown where the internet button is on any OS.
Which means the face recognition was never necessary. It’s a way for companies to build a database that will eventually get exploited. 100% guarantee.
Nothing specific. Talking to ghosts, spirits, or seeing visions is a child’s game. Getting someone to pay you money to talk to spirits ghosts, or see visions, is a con man’s game. Both are made up, one is acceptable.
Early, late, or no Internet, the occult scene has always been a made up bunch of mumbo jumbo. One doesn’t need experience with it to know that.
How did that end? I need details about all of it. The dreams, the seer, the treatment, the outcome.
If you don’t mind.
For sure. That (theoretically) does require warrants, so there’s some level of red tape. That would for sure have to exist in this made up situation where talking about. No way do I want anyone able to just flip a switch and snoop on me, especially the police.
The trade of there is the police potentially have your location at any given time with the flip of a switch. I’d lose many of my positions before I have the police gang that much power.
I did the same. To add to the cliche, I went nuclear and jumped into Arch. Games were my biggest concern, but I’ve had zero issues with games, minor issues with Nvidia, but if I’d have gone with a stable distro, it would have been an easy transition. I’m confident that anyone who can use Windows even semi functionally, can transition to something like Mint with minimal issue. Other than no local MS office apps, I bet most people would assume it’s a new Windows release.
Linux can run from a USB stick to try it out before committing to a full install.
And the socket can be changed too, if I read the article correctly. The verge article posted in this thread elsewhere.
Just because I have the service doesn’t mean I don’t also have backups some items.
I only have it because I have prime for shopping. If they were separate fees, I would not have streaming.
Not only that, but all of their interfaces are trash. These services should model there UI off of Plex.
The problem is that it’s impossible to support all products forever. There has to be a time that something turns EoL, and IMO 16 years is a reasonable amount of time for almost anything, but especially a small electronic device. As others have mentioned, it would be awesome if they opened the API for personal use, but there’s a million reasons why that may not have been possible. Ideally everything would work and be supported forever, but it’s impossible.
If my TV was 16 years old, and the manufacturer cut off the internet function to it, id be ok with that.
These thermostats still work as thermostats, just without the smart features. Comparing that to turning a TV to a radio is disingenuous. 16 years is a long time, and there are security protocols amongst other things that go obsolete over time and can’t be updated at a certain point on legacy devices.
As cool as it would be to see a big shift to Linux, I think you underestimate how deeply entrenched companies are with Microsoft, so unwilling to change, the lack of support for proprietary software, and probably most importantly, the lack of IT support to manage a Linux environment.
I’ve been full Arch since December in my personal stuff and have been a Sys Admin+ for 9+ years. I would not say I currently have the skills to effectively administer a Linux environment. I could get there, and there is a lot of overlapping knowledge, like the network stack didn’t change, but I don’t think I’m an outlier.
I recently switched from being the sole IT guy at a small/medium company so a place with about 2k employees. I have maybe met a couple of people within the company IT that I think could make the switch relatively well, and 70% of others that just don’t got it.
Long term it would probably be fine, but that’s not how companies work in most cases. I just don’t think most places are willing to bite the bullet now to benefit later.
