Thanks for the heads up. I just put my last set if strings on yesterday. This is perfect timing.
God i wish. And most everyone here could install a new operating system in about 20 minutes. But nobody else is going to because the learning curve for a regular user to install an os is basically perpendicular. Even if they had a linux installer already on a flash drive.
Oh just boot into the bios and find the option to boot for a flash drive and then boom installed.
Which requires a user to know, What a bios is
What booting means
What boot options mean
What the model of their flash drive is
What button on their keyboard they need to press to get to the bios
What secure boot is
Where they need to go to turn off secure boot
How and where to back up their important files
What a disk partition is
How to reverse the changes made to the bios so that it doesn't boot to usb by default.
And that's assuming they know why they want a different OS, why they care and that they know about Linux in the first place.
Most people dont and never will. All you can do is install Linux for the ones you like the most and say a prayer to your favorite deity for the rest.
This video sums up my feelings exactly. Thanks for the recommendation. They are a lot more articulate than I was.
I think that's something that gets forgotten. Season 2 gets skipped through a lot during rewatches I know. All anyone remembers is her being racist to data.
She starts out mean to Data but she comes around by the end of the season. She is also a former lover of Kyle Riker, which could have made for a much more interesting dynamic for and with Riker if it had continued.
I agree. And its a real shame. I also remember seeing Pulaski sitting in the chair next to Picard relatively often where I think of Crusher being in the medical bay far more. That could just be my own memory though.
Larry David would have benefited from this chair.
There's someone out there selling great aunt Beatrice's car. 2006, 77000 miles. Drove to church and the grocery store once a week.
Hang in there!
The only retirement plan for me is to move somewhere where it doesn't get cold in the winter and be homeless. So far that's what I can afford.
I actually run mine in a 12 year old castoff Thinkpad. 4 GB ram total. More than enough to run it because I run a DNS server, a dashboard and a speedtest server on the same machine.
Local repair shop wants $229 to replace it. Better then the 569 Motorola wanted to fix it. Right to repair for the win.
I think you accidentally put a hex on me. Just this morning I dropped my phone and smashed the front display :(
I don't have YouTube Pro or whatever its called now and when I listen to music on my Google home it plays an ad after ever song. Since I have switched to Pihole and blocked googles DNS servers the only ads I get are to buy premium YouTube which I assume are hardcoded into something somewhere.
We better be careful, with Googles track record they will be getting rid of YouTube soon and rolling it into whatever they are calling their Skype clone nowadays.
You pick them yourself. Search for an app, long press and then add to favorites
I'm banking on continued driver improvements and hopefully some big price drops when the B series of ARC finally launches.
I also like the idea that the A380 it doesn't require pcie power cables. You could theoretically add one to an appropriately large 2nd pcie slot as a second GPU in a server or a workstation.
I just say that video from Wendell. Looks promising.
When that first happened I switched to KISS Launcher. Fully search based. really simple and really fast.
I had a client as of a couple of years ago with a custom fronted software build on top of an access mdb database running on windows 98 continuously since 2000. They had been backing it up onto a 18 year old 1GB flash drive every night for years. Their interest was exactly zero in upgrading to anything newer.
Well, if they don't want to bother, send the footage to me. I have a Blu Ray burner and will gladly accept $30 each for a burned copy.
Seriously though, it's already been mastered for Apple TV. Make a run of Blu-rays. It's free real estate.
That was my main take-away. You're the CEO of the company. If someone writes a mean blog post about your business so what? Fix the issues with the product if they are legitimate things that need fixing. Otherwise leave people alone. If something constitutes libel then sue. Otherwise it's just someones opinion which they are entitled to.
No I have a bad opinion about him as well (please don't reach out to me either).
