Why, a hexvex of course!
I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…
Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?
I think, and here the key word is think as this goes beyond my mandate so to speak, it’s more an act of resistance. A bit like protesting, but with less risk.
I’d say the aim is to rallying over retribution, to push those “good men” into fighting more strongly. It’s not a bad tactic, it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.
It’s also not really that widespread, searches for it are up because it’s making the rounds is all.
The first time you say no to someone you really want to be with, that is when the 4B life starts. Till then, it’s just business as usual (I really hope you don’t sleep with/date people you don’t like!).
The life continues when you see them with someone else, and realise some things can’t be undone. People move on, they’re not static NPCs you can just reload and date later.
It goes ever on, life stops for no-one and it runs it’s course far too soon. To those who choose that path, make sure you know where it leads.
Edit: nice catch apostrofail! I’ll keep no-one though, I feel they need that special dash bond ;)
I mean, I have a foolproof way to always come out on top at a casino, it’s a simple trick that gamblers will hate you for.
Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.

Halsin would like a word.
School toilets are about to become even more traumatic when gen alpha starts teaching.
At least I just have random nyan cat bullet points in my slides, with a lot of random loss thrown in.
Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets _

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.
I’m richer than I’ve ever been, and I am far less spontaneous than I’ve ever been.
It’s not linear, it’s some weird polynomial equation!
Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!
I’m not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.
The question isn’t really “ads or subs” these days, it’s “your data or your dollar”, and in this situation there is no good option (since your dollar is the perfect identifier for your data!).
Academia would like a word.
I need to put a vote in here for owlbears and owlcats, if only because of how excited they make my partner when encountered.
Prays that 2025 is the year for solid NVIDIA support for Linux
You just captured the daily life of a UK academic after the catastrophically low recruitment numbers this year.
I absolutely don’t use notepad++ as my main IDE… Honest.
You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under “academic license”…
Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.
