He alludes to sanctions being a factor but never clarifies on advice from his lawyers. ngl I don’t like the look of it just from a transparency perspective.

I remember seeing that on the shelf next to a copy of SuSe during my regular visits to CompUSA. I had just barely developed an interest in computer gaming at the time, still a few years prior to my first experience with LiGNUx. I always wondered when it turned into Fedora and Red Hat went exclusively enterprise.

I haven’t used a new printer or an inkjet in a number of years now, but using my 18yo HP laserjet is a matter of plugging it in and checking it’s status under the main distro settings menu. That was also on par with the windows process iirc.

I do remember 20 years ago when I had to sideload pcmcia wifi drivers, though.

It’s easier to steal, copy, or alternatively subpoena a fingerprint.

Biometrics, huh? You know- passwords are more secure…

Been there.

It seems to me that if one can adequately explain the function of their pseudocode in adequate detail for an LLM to turn it into a functional and reliable program, then the hard part of writing the code was already done without the LLM.

That would be an even more interesting solution for finding new gun-designs for mass-manufacture. Kalashnikov, Winchester, Glock, and Colt watch out!

I built my own 3d printer 👉 👈

When I first transitioned away from Windows. Linux was admittedly a little less stable and reliable but unlike windows, there was a well documented solution pathway to almost every Linux problem I encountered, whereas Windows solutions always amounted to recommending uninstalling/reinstalling hardware in the Device Manager and rebooting the computer. I remember a few times that windows updates completely crashed my install and I had to roll-back to an earlier version or even do a repair/reinstall from disc -The documented Windows solutions (aside from the reinstall) rarely worked. Now it’s 20 years later and I rarely have reliability issues with Linux aside from my one hardware failure -but that’s not a Linux-specific issue.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

I admit I’m biased towards C-languages out of sheer personal preference and limited exposure to Rust but I am wondering, are there any major technical barriers to Rust replacing these languages in it’s current form anymore?

I know there has been a lot of movement towards supporting Rust in the last 6 years since I’ve become aware of it, but I also get flashbacks from the the early 00’s when I would hear about how Java was destined to replace C++, and the early 2010’s when Python was destined to replace everything only to realize that the hype fundamentally misunderstood the use case limitations of the various languages.

I have a hardware malfunction with my secondary hard drive. Every once in the while it locks itself into read-only mode and corrupts a log file that crashes my system. My solution is to reboot Fn + Alt + Sysrq + ‘b’ and periodically delete the log files that exacerbate the issue. I need to replace the drive but that requires money and a backup solution, neither of which i currently have. It’s been an ongoing issue for at least 4 years now.

In business and politics “malice” and “stupidity/incompetence” are one and the same.

I know that used to be the case. It’s why I stopped trying to use a dual-booting system and instead just installed windows in Virtualbox.

I have gotten so used to not dealing with windows that on the rare occasion when I do go back I find that I have to check my anger and aggression while doing so.

you can just say “social media.”

It is Intel so I’m sure they have already done the cost-benefit analysis of a recall vs losing a class-action lawsuit
