Damn does that video escalate! 🔥

Gives you more comparability on pen drives, too. Lots of people probably have a 8gb stick lying around, people are somewhat less likely to have a bigger one.

Microsoft itself, in fact, declared that all PCs will be AI PCs

It’s funny that Microsoft intended for this to be a marketing boon, but many users read it as a threat.

Vote with your dollar and go to Jellyfin, or even simpler, a folder with your media in it.

heating bills runs close to $800 a month

You are spending WAY too much per month on heat. Upgrade the insulation in your home and seal air leaks.

Also, do not use resistive heat. It is the most expensive heating solution by a wide margin.

The US has some of the cheapest energy in the civilized world. I’m not sure what to draw from that fact, but it is clear our energy system works pretty well for the end-user.

For a counterpoint, check out Germany’s expensive as fuck energy.

‘This is my hole’

Apple probably isn’t seeing it as a factor. Anyone switching from MacOS to Linux on Apple hardware has purchased Apple hardware and will likely continue doing so because they’re the kind of people who buy Apple products and you can’t change that about a person.

When they are ready for a new computer, are they going to spend double to buy Mac hardware when they specifically want a Linux machine? Many will say no.

As a somewhat side fact, most of Microsoft’s own cloud services are running on Linux. This fact nudges me to believe the opposite of your conclusion. That is to say, changing your OS doesn’t necessarily change the software you use.

That said, I would be very surprised if Microsoft’s cloud offerings were as popular among Linus users.

We are already at >7% for English-speaking Steam users. At this rate 15% isn’t terribly far off.

But, even now, it’s getting increasingly difficult to tell your manager “we should lower our product’s sales by 7%”.

Importantly, there was a net increase in Linux users and a net decrease in Windows users.

Article also says a passport is fine.

Also Mint gets a ton of traction here too.

Love to see it!

This site won’t update till tomorrow, but Steam’s English Linux numbers are >2x the overall numbers (China apparently hates Linux). Going to be something like 7% for English-speaking Linux use. :)

See chart at the very bottom

Edit: 7.09% :)

Yeah, forwarding a port to a server with SFTP allows you both to have two-way links. Have done this with some of my friends as well.

Sneakernet via a HDD is also damn helpful for initial bulk transfers.

More info: MemTest86 is the standard. Put that on a flash drive, boot into it, and run it overnight. It needs to complete a full pass, which takes 4+ hours. A single failure or two is OK, any more is not.

If we are testing hardware, I would also suggest a CPU test with Prime95 an a GPU test with Furmark. Both of these tests are faster than the memory test, and you can always do them from a live linux environment if you want to remove your current installed OS as a factor.

Yeah, I’m confused on why they wouldn’t push KPop Demon Hunters. People like it.

It’s also really funny that Disney blamed their fans for not supporting original content after Elio flopped. Then KPop Demon Hunters comes crashing in and is popular as fuck.

That’s great to hear!

What’s crazy is he could instead put a ton of support behind Ukraine and achieve many of the same results, but with much more popularity.

Yeah, some people get really defensive when you suggest they can get all the things they are asking for, and all they have to do is stop giving money to user-hostile developers. And saying kernel-level anti-cheat is hostile to the user is a massive understatement. Why would you defend Saudi Arabia having kernel-level access to your computer just to play a game? (It’s crazy that that statement isn’t even a joke in the context of EA.)

I understand if someone decides not to take the suggestion, but it is still a reasonable suggestion to make.
