Not even one of those points will accelerate Linux adoption to being with a decade of the snowballing level at which point it could Dethrone Windows.

You been drinking some absinthe or smoking the ganja-weed?

Or just straight up snorting Flakka

Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.

System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

I guess they mean “how to make buggy messy often usermade Desktop distributions more popular.”

As Linux itself is insanely popular, it’s everywhere and runs everything. From the vast majority of server and network infrastructure to most phones.

Looks like this one except that it is sealed on one end and the caddies for the two drives have a cover plate that screws in over a gasket and rubber ring.

I got it in a shop in Hong Kong when I was there for a convention earlier this year. No idea if you can find it online, maybe somewhere like Alibaba.

I have a dual NVMe USB3 caddy that’s smaller than most 2.5 HDD housings with currently 2 2TB drives, you can buy 4 and 8TB nvme drives these days too. I can throw that thing out a car and it won’t care.

And the drives are easily swappable and so are the electronics in the casing.

So no, 2.5" HDD’s still are an utterly dead end of technology.

Especially with these and some other vendors, the USB interface is part of the drive (there’s no SATA port on them), so you can’t swap them or take them out for data recovery. They are HDD tech, which doesn’t do shocks or any other sort of roughhousing, they are slow as shit and use far more power than any NVMe drive.

Because you flex and replug the interface often.

The thing you use to plug your phone, tablet, drives and other things with is very often the failure point unless you break screens or get water in them.

Normally you simply have a HDD drive with a SATA interface in there, so if the USB connector fails, you can still easily recover your data.

With these things, you’re lucky if they even offer the possibility of repairing or recovering the drive.

The more they push to train AI on our shitpostings on social networks, the more I’m certain we’re fucking doomed if their AI ever reaches consciousness.

Nah, I just keep listening and in the rare case I feel like I may actually have missed something visually, I’ll roll back time on the video.

I pause videos for 1 reason and 1 reason only and that’s to speak to people IRL or online, because I can’t concentrate on a conversation when there’s background noise.

This is just another entry for the list of reason it’s 1001% valid to use adblockers.

I tend to have videos playing on a secondary screen all day long, only to pause them when I get a phonecall or need to talk to someone on Discord or real life.

This is just one more perfectly valid reason to install adblockers.

Quite a few really didn’t.

It’s incredible how delusional some of these people are, like Twitch Moderator being 100% convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier delusional.

They are entirely convinced he shits gold and everything he touches is Star Trek tier tech.

This is just a diagnosis of the problem.

That thing is engineered so they can bypass or repurpose ever little bit.

Which is probably what they’ll do now, do a software update that will make the system evade the bad memory segment.

Voyager has 3 computers and only 1 is affected.

If you actually read what I said rather than what he responded and actually read the link he posted, you’ll see that I didn’t say he deactivated anything, I said he denied the service for an ally.

Elon explicitly denied to activate starlink in locations requested by Ukraine with a bullshit excuse that that would support war, while now making no qualms of Russia using the service for war.

TL Actually read it, Yes.

I didn’t say he deactivated it.

I said he specifically declined to activate it for Ukraine when requested.

He makes no such qualms about Russia using his service.

After explicitly denying the service to an ally.

This “smart” tv shite is getting so goddamn out of hand.

In the past 3 months, my dads TV had to be replaced because the module that runs Google TV shite broke, causing the TV to get stuck with an error message on screen, this was more of an annoyance than a big issue, as you could still watch TV, just with the error message displaying.

Then a few weeks after that it had to be replaced because at first I thought the backlight was dead (nothing but a feint glow on screen while having audio) as this happened even from a cold boot, but turned out that the Bravia module would run into a hung/frozen state right after it booted.

So, ya think that would be it right?

Nope, a good month after that, the TV would constantly log my parents out of Bravia, Google TV and any apps they had installed (indicating to me there was as storage issue).

The store they got the thing from were sure they must be doing something wrong, so sent someone out who spent a good 4 hours repeatedly factory resetting the TV, relogging them in to then be surprised the issue was exactly as we described.

So, 3 months, TV replaced 3 times, all due to issues with the goddamn Smart TV shite they shove into everything.

And you have to know, here there’s nothing on cable or air you don’t have on digital, your internet provider gives you a decoder for digital TV and all your TV really needs to do is accept a HDMI signal and you should be set to watch whatever you want, as Netflix and some other streaming services are integrated into their decoder to begin with.

But it’s almost impossible to find any TVs without several layers of this smart tv shite integrated into them.

When IBM, the guys that developed the computer system to schedule and track the holocaust itself, go “OY, cool your rhetoric Elon”, you know you’re well off the deep end.
