I think they dont care on purpose. Dual boot is a gateway drug, so the more problems with it the better for Microsoft.

I think you may like Expeditionary Force series, there is quite a bit of what you are looking for.
I guess Asimov Foundation series would also be a good candidate for world building.
Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn’t Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.
Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That’s 100%.
Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.
I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.
Crypto as currency = good.
Crypto as investment = bad.
First one is technological progress, the other is a Ponzi scheme.
The architecture can easily be open source - as long as repo is missing just the training data. Just like there are Doom engines that are open source, even though they do not provide WAD files, which are still copyrighted. The code is there, but it is somewhat useless without the data. Analogy is not perfect, but let’s assume it compiles to a single binary containing everything, maps included.
If ID Software gives you a compiled Doom with maps free to use it is freeware. If they open source the engine (they actually did), but do not release the WAD files as open source, the compiled game is not open source - it is still freeware.
It is not complicated really.
Yesterday I’ve spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?
I remember that in pre-school in around 1990 we made clay ashtrays for father’s day. My father did not smoke but they told me to make one anyway…
Nothing is happening in Norway. Source: I live in Norway.
I’ve met only a handful people that use Linux on their desktop, plus some developers that use it at work.
Not in a million years. The next generation will though, they won’t see any issue with it.
I guess they will anwser such calls with AI to get a summary anyway…
Great points overall. I guess previous generations thought that a hand-written letter cant be replaced by a digital one, yet here we are.
Let’s say that there is a single player MMO where all the other players are played by AI, but it is done so well that you can’t really see the difference from real-human MMO players.
Would you play this? I would not. The fact that there is a human on the other side is important, even though it does not make any practical difference. Same with birthday wishes - that’s way Facebook did not automate “Happy birthday!” even though it could.
Would you upload your personal data and voice to Open AI for it to make a a birthday wishes call to your mom? So convinient! She won’t know the difference, and you get a 5 bulletpoint summary afterwards! Such a hellscape.
In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:
Overall it was glorious.
That’s the thing - there is no option to update BIOS on Linux then.
You must install Windows or maybe use one of those unofficial Windows Live USB images.
There is no universal solution to this. Some vendors support fwupd (LVFS) on some hardware (Dell, Lenovo), some allow to update via a file on a USB stick (Asus).
Unless it is a system from Linux first company (Tuxedo, StarLabs, System76, Slimbook) expect to manually check what the specific model you are looking at supports.
Adding AI is like adding a lane to a crowded street. It will move more cars per hour, but the street will soon have the same traffic jams as before.
Workers will be as busy and as overworked as before.
Plus, even though people theoretically do more, it is not really more. For example Digital Signage - before generative AI you would put in some text, a clipart or a stock image and call it a day. Now one may be expected to polish the text with AI plus generate a more fitting image. Does it make a nicer Digital Signage? Sure. Will productivity actually go up? I doubt it.
Yeah, i am retiring my XPS 13 only due to it having 8GB of RAM. It is quite an old model with i7-8550U - the speed is still perfectly fine as my daily driver, but I filled the memory to the brim way too often.
It is the new name for the desktop variant of the immutable variant of OpenSUSE.
Exactly this. If the pages listed do not support the claims it helps Trump in the end.
CAD. Free solutions compared to commercial ones (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360, Onshape) are like comparing Photoshop to an open source Paint clone.
