The one thing they managed to enjoy was made in Finland
Go away, Sam Altman
And his WMDs for a change
I for one prefer demon linux over fish linux. In fact, that’s how I first dipped my toes into the world of unix-ish OSes with FreeBSD 3.3.
In my book WSL and VM share the same downside in that you’re only abstracting Linux functionality in relation to the hardware.
Linux really shines when it has full access to the actual hardware as opposed to asking it’s environment nicely if it’s allowed to do something.
For example, I routinely need to change my IP address to talk to specific networks and network hosts, but having to step over the virtualisation or interpretation layer to do so is just another step, thus removing the advantage of running linux in the first place.
Sure, VMs and dual booting have their uses, but the same uses can be serviced by an actual linux install while also being infinitely more powerful.
I played around with WSL for a while, but you notice really quickly that it is not the real thing. I’ve used virtual box for some use cases, but that too feels limiting ad all of the hardware you want to fully control is only abstracted.
I would say that unless he has a really good reason why he wouldn’t want to go for dual boot, then he should do just that.
Meh, init 6, you coward
But Apple was so BRAVE when they removed the jack!
I wholeheartedly agree, I use Bluetooth most of the time, but I want wired to fall back on. When I’m on the go, bluetooth works just fine, but when I’m sitting down at home I prefer to use my full-size Roland headset on both my PC and my phone. No latency, and superior sound quality.
Throw in some F14 with Iranian livery as well.
Seriously, though… 12 gauge gatling gun with choke tubes. Any reason why it wouldn’t work?
And now that guy has learned why one hides the ESSID of networks that shouldn’t be there.
By promoting the distros that have this as a goal, such as Mint.
I would suggest Ubuntu in this category, but… eww…
Or FF16
Had a discussion with a coworker regarding this, and about how seemingly unnecessarily adversarial MS has become with its users. At first you could choose to only have a local account. Then you had to use a magic key sequence and a command to only use a local account. And I think now even that possibility has been removed? And then there’s the forced default of us8ng one drive, copilot, cortana, and a bunch of other shit.
And as someone else said: The shit is the point. We concluded that MS realized that it’s lagging behind other companies such as Google and Apple when it comes to providing an ecosystem that the user grows dependant on.
And while this strategy could have worked, MS has failed to take three important factors into account:
The OS is not the product anymore. It’s just an attempt at getting you to use their other stuff so that they can lock you in. Why do you think you can now use unlicensed windows with no real downsides? 15 years ago your windows install would refuse to do the tiniest thing without a license, because back then, sell8ng licenses was the business plan. Now they’re selling services so that they can start selling you.
To be fair, Edge turned out be wildly successful, even surpassing iexplorer, when it comes to downloading other browsers.
Yes, but it’s called Explosive Reactive Scales.
Pretty much when you posted that, I found this in my dmesg:
[ 715.744332] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: Interrupt Throttling Rate (ints/sec) set to dynamic conservative mode
[ 715.965683] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
[ 716.008541] e1000e: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5
Just for the record, I compared modinfo up against lspci, and the PCI ID matches, so the driver should work. Is it possible to ignore the NVM checksum and try anyway? Because any tool I can find that communicates with the EEPROM on a hardware level is made for msdos.
Derp, I don’t think I ever did a modprobe. Anyway, I did an rmmod as I found out that there’s a newer version out, and I’m currently working on building the new version.
UPDATE: Newer version built, installed, and loaded.
I have not. In fact, I’d never even heard of it until you mentioned it.
But I sure as hell will give it a go now that I am aware of its existence. Thanks for the tip!
Contrary to popular belief, you are actually factually spot on. It is all described in detail in soviet-era files, locked away.
Even JD Vance confirms this, ans I challenge FSB to release any documentation that disputes it.
