Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.

Can’t keep archives of Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with and loved; will sue you for keeping copies of them.

Definitely ok to being three mile island back online for AI though, that’s the ticket to a better humanity!

For real why has everyone with any kind of money gone psycho? Have the bad guys started winning even harder?

I think the meme is more about perspectives and listening to the way someone thinks about operating IT is very different from the way someone things about architecting IT

More like that movie “Toys”, where they just want kids to indiscriminately kill with drones for their own power trips while cursing the “goddamn UN”.

Boy did they ever nail their shot with that one.

RIP bash.org

It’s Gaben, carrying a 3, and because it’s a Rorschach test, it’s been folded in half which gives it that “8” look.

Soon, boys. Soon.

Imagine being able to spray in this game, take your save, and open it in PowerWash simulator to clean it off

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?

Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.

That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.

I’ve been on “New, 6 hours” since the beginning and even that seems stagnant. At times, there’s lots of cross posting.

That or Ansible, if you will have a machine to deploy from

Zoneminder was cool when it was the only game in town, but didn’t it save “videos” as a folder of JPEGs of frame grabs?

I think The Quartering did

Never thought I’d get to use “bisectional” outside of JD Vance jokes

It’s weird

Yeah, always check all of this stuff. Server hardware gets a lot more updates than like gamer board BIOS, companies invest high millions, even low billions in this stuff and they expect problems to be address promptly for that kind of cash.

Check for any peripherals or cards, too. RAID, backplanes, networking cards; drivers, firmware, anything.
