Logitech doesn’t have a version of their software for Linux so I can’t modify my G502 wireless mouse and Pro X Wireless headset (horrible name) at all nor, more importantly, check their battery life.
My Xbox controller’s dongle doesn’t work either (tried to install the Xone driver but couldn’t get it to work with secure boot after many hours of trying).
I never got to trying to run VR on Linux cuz I always got frustrated before I could get to that, but I’ve heard a lot of times that it just doesn’t work well or at all on Linux.

Then you add on all the small things that I like how Windows does more than Linux (or at least any distro I tried) and I just can’t see the point in switching.

My OS is supposed to be a tool that lets me use my computer how I want. When I have to spend half of my time tinkering with it to do what I want it to do, I don’t see the point anymore.

Half my peripherals not working/having linux software support is a major blocker for me. Plus a ton of QOL stuff or ways of doing stuff that I’ve gotten used to on Windows.

This is my personal take. As long as you’re careful and thoughtful whenever using them, they can be extremely useful.

“How to confront a cheating husband”
That actually makes sense as a way to die, I just need to become gay now.

I mean, it shouldn’t be that expensive. Where I live basically every pizza and fast food place used to offer free delivery. Nowadays because of delivery services this has died out a bit, but it still exits, yet ordering through the delivery services is way more expensive.

I honestly don’t even get it, because for a long time the delivery services were operating at a loss, not even sure if most of them are in the plus even now, yet they should be more efficient than every fast food place having its own drivers.

That’s cool but I don’t get the point if it’s for residential. For 99% of usecases 1gigabit is more than enough, probably even 100mbit. Maybe it could facilitate new technologies that wouldn’t be viable with slower residential connections, but at these speeds the bigger problem starts being the serverside and clientside processing of all that data. No service is ever going to let you get even close to that bandwidth for a single user.

This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

Fucking “soso” for a 20% tip the hell

Personaly those shortcuts are a feature I literally never use so much so I don’t even register their existence anymore.

Do you mean specs wise or software wise? It’s a Lenovo Y50 with 8 gigs RAM, an i5 4210H, and a GTX 960M.

I’m running Ubuntu server with docker and a few containers (mainly Nextcloud)

Ah, didn’t realise this was the Privacy community, yeah not main the goto if that’s your focus.

Haven’t tried any other similar product (except the pro version), but I have the Remarkable 2 and in my experience it’s pretty good as an e reader as well. Maybe expensive for just using it as an e-reader but you can also use it as a note taking device. It’s pretty big but still really thin and light, so it’s a pretty good reading experience especially if you have bigger hands, some people may find it too big as an e-reader tho, but I really like the size.

One recommendation I can make is that if you are interested in it, if you have the money consider the pro version. If notetaking matters to you, the little I experienced writing on the pro version was so much better. The pen is much better as well as the tracking. My version tends to be off by about a millimeter at some places and the edges. This becomes extremely frustrating when you’re trying to e.g. dot the i-s and you keep missing where you want to write. From what I saw, the pro version is much better at this and is in colour.

Here’s mine. Might need to repaste it tho, the fans are literally always running pretty noticably loudly and CPU temps are at ~49° even though it’s idiling all the time at max 1%-2% CPU usage.

On a side note - is it normal for Redis to always be using 1-2% CPU even when there’s no traffic?

Yeah dynamic DNS works pretty good for me, after I set it up I never had any problems with it.

My personal experience has been frustrating each time. I’ve tried to switch over at least 3 times over the years, but I always gave up. This time, I installed Ubuntu and immediately had to spend 3 hours trying to get my Xbox controler dongle to work, but just couldn’t do it. Found a driver online that people said would work, it didn’t because it wasn’t properly signed, tried to sign it but the signing app just didn’t create the certificates needed. Gave up, I have Bluetooth so I’d live, though I’d rather use the dongle if I can.

I then immediately encounter another problem that couldn’t be fixed (for the life of me I can’t remember what it was exactly) and just gave up.

The previous time I tried it I remember that among other things, one of my main problems was the lack of clipboard history (which I use extremely often). I tried installing an app for it but all of them either didn’t work or didn’t work the way I want them to or I just didn’t like their look and feel.

I also hate the font rendering on Linux, it always looks blurry compared to Windows, and the double titlebars most apps have (e.g. Discord, at least on Ubuntu), I like my screen real-estate.

Look at it in another way, people think this is the start of an actual AI revolution, as in full blown AGI or close to it or something very capable at least. Personally I don’t think we’re anywhere near something like that with the current technology, I think it’s a dead end, but if there’s even a small possibility of it being true, you want to invest early because the returns will be insane if it pans out. Full blown AGI would revolutionize everything, it would probably be the next industrial revolution after the internet.

Most drugs aren’t that hard to produce

I mean, they are right. Asside the question of whether we can even make meaningfully better models by just using LLMs and more data and what the future of AI will look like, and whether it’s ethical or not to steal the data, it is quite possible that OpenAI and the like will get into legal trouble because of the methods they use for acquiring data, but Chinese companies won’t have to worry about that. If more data = better models then China has an obvious advantage.

I think it’s actually Bing or Google, used to be just Bing. But the searches are anonymised and not tied to user profiles (as well as the ads), so I like it more since I’m at least not giving Google all of my data.

I too am relatively envious of the UK’s outlet design, I only hate how bulky and foot destroying they are.
