No human should be running w11.
It is somewhat simple, and I know some people live in “food deserts”; but really if you couldn’t get it 500 years ago, it is probably not good for you.
Eat simple foods, with few steps from identifiable grown thing (veg, fruit, animal, fish) to what ends up on your plate.
This is not as easy as that, people don’t know how to cook well or don’t have access to good quality foods.
Yep, downloaded XP over 33.6k modem, but I’m in NZ so 33.6 was more advertising than reality, it took weeks.
Hell my home server, running on low end Xeon hardware had uptime numbers around 3 years…then there was a power cut. Next down day was another power cut a year or so later. Total around 8 years running with 5 outages, all but one due to power loss (other was Ubuntu 16.04 - 18.04 upgrade).
Just updated to Ubuntu server 20.04 so uptime is only 7 days at this point.
How is this still relevant.
It is not an unreasonable question, I was asked the same when I got my vasectomy. The implication was “you are young enough to have another should the worst happen”, not that kids are replaceable parts.
What is to stop Biden from cancelling the upcoming election?
Being now his powers are effectively unchecked, couldn’t he just call off the election as an official act. Rather than stupid shit like ordering assassination or deploying the military, just say “I’m cancelling the election until such time this ruling is overturned and a constitutional amendment is enacted that states that the president is not immune from criminal prosecution”
I was having a lot of random crashes and weird errors on my Mint install, using the logs, I tracked it down to a SSD fault.
I really didn’t want to send it back, since I got it from Amazon and I’m in NZ… So after a bit of checking I found that the FW on the SSD was not the latest. Updated the FW, went from at least 1 crash per workday, to no crashes in the last 6 months.
My SSD is a WD SN850X 4TB
Oppo has very aggressive battery management.
While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…
But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.
As a friend of mine said some years ago “VLC will play a slice of cucumber” that pretty much sums it up.
This is the way
I use SSHFS when I want to quickly grab a file off my server at home.
It is not a permanent solution, but it is fast and SSH is almost never blocked so the network I’m coming from doesn’t matter.
Also SSH is great, if I don’t trust the network I’m on, I tunnel all of my traffic through my home server over a SSH connection (this worked whilst I was in China a few years ago, waiting for my connecting flight).
I ran Ubuntu 8.04 for a while, it was the unstable. I gave it another crack when 10.04 came out. I haven’t looked back.
Currently running Mint, cinnamon is a great desktop
I am running Slimbook battery, for improvements to battery life. I’ll check the power settings to ensure the power state isn’t changing randomly.
Thanks for this, I managed to get the firmware updated to 624361WD; hopefully it fixes the issue.
It has a standard m.2 slot (I did a bunch of research to confirm before purchase), RAM is soldered down unfortunately.
I swapped the 1TB for a 4 as soon as I got it.
I hope it isn’t faulty, I live in NZ and got it from Amazon in the US…a RMA is not something I’m keen on.
Funnily, I only run AMD now for the same reasons, except with Nvidia as the PITA. Always ongoing driver issues, power management or fans running like jet turbines… Last 3 machines AMD, no issues with the GPU’s/drivers.
I have been using various distros since 2008; I use Mint as my daily driver.
Stability is the biggest factor for me, I want a OS to get out of my way and let me get on with what I’m doing.
Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.
It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.
