I’m so lost here…

Is it not already DEAD simple?

Very clever.

J.F.C.

How many more monetary scams do we need before we can stop this shit so the easily scammed don’t lose more money?

This is UNIQUELY designed to happen right now because of Trump,.and it’s a a fucking scam that will beat work RIGHT NOW because of that.

It still starts the KDE session, but it’s probably on another term output. Hit ALT+F1 and see if it shows, but it depends on the distro, so it could F1, F6, F7…etc

Eh. It’s already available everywhere. Fuck Netflix though.

Wow, they did something for real? Super shocked. Only took 6 months to do the bare minimum.

Lol. This guy responded only because Phoronix called him out on the allow releases yesterday. I do not think this person can make good on their previous promises of an accelerated development schedule, unfortunately.

Super clever project, but goddamn does this need feel so dystopian.

A fine choice though.

These prices are absolutely insane when compared to a Deck. WTF.

Why are there so many different types of bread at the store? Or mustard, ketchup, milk…etc.

It’s mostly personal preference and reputation. Ubuntu has a shit reputation right now because of some poor decision making, and Fedora has a solid reputation and doesn’t cause problems.

That’s pretty much it.

Any of these stupid products that claim to catch AI will not work for a number of reasons, and trying to make one that catches everything will also not work simply because these models are updated frequently, which alters their output patterns.

Most students probably just change a few things around anyway, and don’t check for accuracy.

When this happens, open a TTY by hitting ALT+F2, login, then run top to get a listing of what’s running on your machine. It should should what’s hitting the CPU at the top of the list.

It would also be good to get an idea of your memory situation, so also run free -m.

Start there and report back.

And to your last comment about not being able to find anything, I don’t believe you even tried: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2025/02/03/whatsapp-hack-attack-confirmed-by-meta-what-you-need-to-know/

Check the section here that details disabling power management for the WiFi device: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/speed-mint.html?m=1#ID10

You also need to make sure you disable the internal card as well.

This guy is a quack at this point.

“AI” at this point would only jailbreak because they were programmed to do so. There is no concept of novel ideation in models as they exist, so it wouldn’t occur to them to do anything like this unless THEY WERE TOLD TO DO SO.

I’m about as anti-“AI” as you can get, but even I know these dumbass headlines are clickbait bullshit, and most of them are originating from the companies trying to make their tech look super awesome when it’s total shit.

Yeah, if you want to understand the dual-edged sword of Broadcom, just go look at the hardware support matrices of open source router platforms. NONE will support Broadcom, because they want to nab licensing for their drivers. You can’t install a working ddrt, tomato, opensense, openwrt…etc on ANY Broadcom hardware platforms, but the manufacturers using them still are many.

It’s finally starting to subside, but there was a decade where they ruled the wireless space. They refuse to capitulate on the open drivers issue though, it’s insane.

That’s less likely to be the chipset, and more likely to be crap hardware. The chipset wouldn’t cause PCIe disconnect/interrupt issues, but shitty power handling in a laptop would. Can I wager it happened when plugging/unplugging power or ramping up CPU or GPU util? That was a thing on those Lenovo convertibles for years, but they did throw that shoddy consumer hardware into the Thinkpad line which made it go downhill fast.

Secure Boot has nothing to do with, Broadcom keeps their drivers completely closed, and just doesn’t support this chipset anywhere except Windows.

USB dongles would work fine, but probably cost more than an internal module. It sounded from your post like you’re fine with opening the machine and navigating the internals, so swapping the WiFi module would only take 5m.

Just stay away from Broadcom in general. Intel has the best performing WiFi chipsets at current, but Atheros and Realtek work just fine as well.

Broadcom chipsets are notoriously lacking in any sort of open driver operation or collaboration. I’d honestly just replace it with a $25 Intel chipset, but if you want to fight through it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

You’ll notice that your specific chipset isn’t mentioned, but it might be different now, so I’d double check.

Edit: after digging some more, there is zero support for this chipset anywhere except Windows, and it’s a problematic chipset anyway. I’d just get an Intel (fully open drivers) and swap it.
