Left Reddit, won’t ever go back. Lemmy still needs more traction, but at least it is not as toxic and influenced by corporate greed.

GTA V would like to have a word… Five stars is living the dream!

Alrighty, old Linux user from the earliest of days.

It was fun, really great to have one-on-one with Linus when Lilo gave issues with the graphic card and the screen kept blank during booting.

It was new, few fellow students where interested, but the few that did, all have serious jobs in IT right know.

Probably the mindset and the drive to test out new stuff, combined with the power Linux gave.

The statement from Espressif:

No.

Your brain has to process stuff. And it is at it’s best when you are sleeping. Having your kids sleep in is beneficial for developing their brains.

Society might think you are lazy, but instead your brain is processing new thoughts and information.

Getting exhausted is not ok for a normal sleep pattern. Don’t overdo it.

Hell yeah! Of course, best Christmas movie ever. Multicasting it over the corporate network since last Monday and won’t kill the process before 2025!

now i’ve got a machine gun ho ho ho!

Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today…

Keep up the good work!

Did you uninstall cups and avahi?

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don’t compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Inclusive tax, but exclusive service fee, handling fee, network fee, administrative fee, etc. You get the picture.

We are getting screwed by the energy companies and the infrastructure companies. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

At least (some of us) are getting money back, when your solar production exceeds your consumption. But that is going to change soon.

Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

Asked several to write a c implementation of some basic networking stuff.

ChatGPT: needed to refine my input, got reasonable output. Complete answers, just compile and run.

Google: the output was just a few snippets, nothing to be used as-is.

MSFT: terrible output, and -no suprise here- the compiled code crashed with null pointer references etc. The worst answers ever.

For simple problems (programming low-level microcontrollers), my go to will be ChatGPT everytime.

Google should get it’s act together, Microsoft can exit the stage.

Cars.

• mechanical, no software bugs
• physical buttons, no touch screen
• everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair
• freaking lane assist

You get it…

Yes, physically getting bigger.

Dell XPS had a batch laptops going crazy and pushing the touchpad up.

You will recognize it :-)

This.

Using a CEC link will make things even more simple, but that might involve additional hardware. Those raspberry thingies have native CEC on hdmi. For x86 you might have to look at some extra hardware.

And of course, Kodi is an example of a 10 foot interface.
