But think about all the stupid things yet to come! You could always rebrand from absurdist humorist to oracle, fortune teller, or something similar.

It’s just that Intel NUC and a bunch of select laptops needed beefy (well, beefier than Intel HD at least) onboard GPU that Intel was unable to produce at the time, soooo, this… thing was born.

ooooooh boy do I have a surprise for you! ungodly amalgation of an Intel CPU with a mobile AMD GPU

(first time posting a picture here ever so there’s a 99% chance I’m gonna screw this up)

Well, I doubt the french ministry of education call them IEP or 504 (not everyone lives in the US, shocker), and anyway it simply doesn’t help if you are diagnosed loooong after the fact.

I’m sure spending close to two decades at school with nothing but pens and paper count as practice, right? Welp too bad it did nothing, my writing still sucked at uni.

I love how both streaming and blu-ray both made piracy the simpler solution by having ungodly amount of DRM that only screw over the paying customer (that don’t even work to stop piracy, by the way).

As some old gaming dude once said “Piracy is almost always a service problem” , said dude is now a billionaire by providing a correct service by the way.

Show me a steam or gog equivalent (ie just a platform that is not outright hostile to consumers) to buying movies and tv shows and my money is yours. In the meantime I’ll keep sailing the high sea.

What if I wondered, and questioned said digital device? One of the very reason I’m so much into computers is that I can actualy get shit done with them, give me a pen and a piece of paper and I’ll scribble totaly useless illegible shit, since that whole “hand eye coordination” simply never worked out for the decades I’ve been at school. On the other hand, I spent most of my free time since early childhood tinkering with those devious “digital devices”, I’m pretty sure I’m able to think by myself, my current linux distro didn’t magicaly appear by itself on my drive I guess.

As someone with troubles writing, screw you, having a computer in class would have made my whole education an order of magnitude less shitty. I’m downvoting you for your dumbass take, not for being an apple or google rep. (mostly the part about pens and papers, I agree on the part that big tech need to get bent too, and that no money should go in their pockets and probably should go somewhere else)

The biggest hurdle is streaming services’ DRM (something called widevine iirc) that just doesn’t work on linux, which limit you to low resolutions like 720p. There was some struggles between AMD and the HDMI consortium preventing them from shipping HDMI2.1 drivers, but that appears to be solved.

Somehow, it appears to already be packaged for fedora, I already tried it and it looks extremely promising while still being in beta.

Well I was just answering your question about “why would jellyfin have documentation about opening it to the web if unsafe?” by pointing out that while they do tell you how to, they also explains the risks associated with doing so. Having documentation about something doesn’t mean that the devs endorse this usage.

According to your own link that you totally read : “Note that opening a port gives full access to that port to the next higher Network. Opening a port directly to the Internet is therefore insecure and not recommended.” and “forwarding its Ports directly to the internet (not recommended!)”

Well… I did upgrade mine progressively, I don’t think it still has any original parts, maybe some sata cables? I was able to get a smaller pc offspring out of this, ended up as my nephew’s gaming rig, does it count as my old rig? are both the same rig? damn computer of theseus causing philosophical problems!

You jest, but a byte isn’t always 8 bits (well, nowaday it kinda is, de facto, but it wasn’t always like that). An 8-bit byte is called an octet, I don’t see it used much in english, but apparently it is used nonetheless, after a quick check. Since octets are the standard byte size, I suppose we could call them “metric bytes”.

It sadly doesn’t change the fact that those phones barely exists and the few that does are either incredibly old or only very partially supported.

Maybe, but 2GB would still be 4 times heavier than my XFCE average, I just wouldn’t use it for a 2 or 4 GB system, other softwares need their RAM too.

I honestly don’t understand why someone would use something like Cinnamon, XFCE or, god forbid, GN*ME instead of KDE Plasma.

RAM usage. I sometime restore machines that just wouldn’t handle KDE. While GNOME is as heavy as KDE, cinnamon is lighter and xfce even more. An average finished KDE setup eats 4GB for me while a cinnamon one uses 1,5GB and an XFCE one 0,5GB. This makes KDE close to unusable on older 2 or 4GB systems.

I tried to use linux on a tablet, I’ve tried GNOME multiple times since it is apparently the best for touchscreen-only devices. This was hell.

As much as I’d love to be able to like that thing I just can’t.

Zero customisability, everything has to be changed through extensions, but the extension manager isn’t even part of GNOME’s core and has to be installed separately.

The settings page is severely lacking so I had to configure everything in .conf files or through CLI directly.

And the whole thing is as stable as a one-legged chair on top of a unbalanced washing machine.

KDE extension crashing : “oupsie a part of your desktop crashed and restarted as fast as possible, hope you didn’t notice”

GNOME extension crashing : “go fuck yourself, I burned your whole session to the ground, log back in and pray you weren’t doing anything worth saving”

In the end I customized KDE to look and behave like GNOME, this way around was surprisingly easier than just making GNOME bearable.

Oh and to the taskbar haters out there : my first computer was running windows 95 so you’ll be taking my taskbar from my cold dead hands, only KDE let me fulfill my dream of putting taskbars absolutely everywhere (even got two perpendicular ones on my bottom monitor)
