I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.

That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.

Thank you, I did have that wrong.

If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.

As others said, you can disable swap.

Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It’s significantly less resources.

Finnish them.

Donald Trump ate my baby.

Mine are sorted by wood and machine, then by length. If I were to go further than that I would have to increase my separators exponentially.

NCR names their motherboards after NASCAR tracks.

I have thought about it, but the assembly process has to be extraordinary simple. I would be terrified to know that the fastener I recommended sheared, taking someone’s life.

Also, there seems to be at least two extremes in DIY. One would be the individual who understands the processes and is doing it to show their technical prowess. The other would be the individual who desperately needs the end product.

I’m predicting it being a false flag attack.

Talk to people. You may convince someone to either change their vote.

I think they are wrong, but I bet it literally helps them sleep at night. It beats looming dread.

Not sure. To be edgy?

I know this isn’t what you meant but:

Thanks for the perspective. I want to agree with you. Pessimistically, I feel like I’m watching a train wreck. My family is reducing their voting to single issue so they don’t have to feel guilty about who they are voting for. I have to imagine that there will be many Republicans that choose not to vote because they can’t bring themselves to vote for either.

Kids do change many people. I think the last time I truly lost my temper I realized what a bad example I was being and haven’t really freaked out like that since.

I know it will take more than that to put him back in, but the faithful feed the ignorant.

I feel that direct video evidence of Trump partying it up with Epstein would still be rejected by his worshippers.

Ah. I thought they were fully following in the footsteps of Microsoft.

Edit: I just read tfa. It was a blurb.

Even if they don’t use it for AI in particular, they will have a private nuclear power facility for their data centers. They would absolutely take advantage of that power generation if it was originally publicly funded.

This device is totally capable of running Minecraft, assuming it’s an older version.

It contains one of two computers.

The older computer was manufactured around '07, has a dual core processor, and may have up to 2g of ddr2.

The newer version I believe was manufactured around 2012 and has a 4 core processor with up to 8 gigs of ddr3.

Both are capable of running Windows, but I wouldn’t put 10 on the older one.
