A tumbleweed rolls in the distance...

Right after they killed Book Depository? Wow they are getting rid of everything worth keeping...

There's the clearurl addon that removes known trackers. But you gotta copy it from the URL bar first.

I would argue that this is something that should be taught in every undergraduate Operating Systems course. But if someone posting it here benefits teens, self-taught hobbyists, and old-timers getting back into the field so be it.

My T480 is my favorite laptop. But this is NOT one of its use cases.

Because anyone who works at the assembly level tends to think that the x86_64 ISA is garbage.

To be fair, aarch64 is also garbage. But it's less smelly garbage.

That being said, I'm not expecting any of these CPUs to be hanging in the Sistine Chapel. So whatever works, I guess.

My suggestion is to get a device that can do the stuff kids want, but just barely do the things they want.

I probably spent more time tinkering around the family computer than anything else as a kid just to get games way over-spec to run on it. Throughout that process I learned programming, hex editing, and some Linux system administration, which eventually led me to my current career.

These days, it's probably a lot easier to get started with a raspberry pi. But without something to motivate people to learn tech, why would they do it in the first place?

"But what if they start putting fries in my ports? I can't have fries without any ketchup!"

I must be dumb cause I still need 3 tries to plug in a HDMI/DP port.

USB B takes 6 tries: first three times in a RJ45 port, then 3 more after realizing I've been messing with the wrong port all this time.

VMs, containers, and running make -j (yep, that's right, -j without specifying the maximum number of parallel jobs)

I'm not familiar with the topic but couldn't they cut straight to the source and directly contact Corning? Or alternatively, one of those Chinese high end OLED knock offs? I've heard they're basically less than 1 generation apart in terms of quality.

edit: alternatively, I assume all cables/connectors are standard. What's preventing Jim next door from starting a group buy to manufacture replacement OLED screens/upgrade kits?

Don't have a steam deck, but what I used to do on Linux when upgrading drives is just dd the old drive over. Sure it's inefficient as hell, but with pcie 4.0 speeds You're looking at 20 min to make a byte-for-byte copy of your old 1 tb drive, which you can then extend your partitions to make them bigger.
