I’ve been dual booting Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) for a while, and sadly I’m back on Windows after a month and a half of exclusively using Linux. The reason? Ethernet. I need to assign a static IP to a dev board with Ethernet, and while it works fairly easily on Windows, it just doesn’t work on Linux, saying it’s unavailable in the nmcli output.

Of course, Windows is worse than before. It hasn’t fixed the bug where it never updates the system time, forcing me to manually press sync on every boot. And it hasn’t fixed the newer bug where my laptop display needs to go down to 768p to display 300Hz, making me to go down to 60Hz to use the full 1080p resolution. All the while Microsoft pushes things nobody wants.

But COM interfaces can’t pass exceptions, only HRESULTs. I don’t know how it was working in the first place if the setup was this janky.

I feel like it’s as much the number of libraries as the language. There are many bloated C/C++ applications.

If you can get away with being car-free and using the bike for the longer trips around town, it’s cheaper than a car. However, since I have a 20+ mile commute to my job currently in an area where it rains a lot and can get cold, that’s a no-go.

Because an LLM can generate a lot of (garbage?) code quickly.

Same with motorcycling, unless you get paid $13/hr to be an MSF instructor.

Bad article, the number of issues aren’t normalized to anything other than PRs. I expect AI authorized PRs to be somewhat bigger than a fully human authorized one.

Nobody’s mentioning the system monitor taking 227MiB?

Time to chmod 000 every game on the system and have them figure out what file permissions are ;)

I remember when I was a young child one of my favorite things to do on a computer was… Entering numbers into Excel.

I don’t know if this is a good idea, but I’ve been thinking of the idea of giving an old air-gapped computer with Linux to a potential young child of mine.

Therefore, they can tinker around, play with educational software, maybe even learn some terminal stuff, all without the dangers of the Internet.

Because you’re coding “based on vibes,” not logical thought.

Using AI to generate code without fully understanding what the code is doing.

Can they even be removed with adb?

Balatro players: +15 chips and +2 mult to flushes

I first found out about it last week and it served my purpose well. It has options for what you want to name the file based on the metadata too!

That’s good to hear. I don’t use streaming services so I don’t have firsthand experience

The sources I read said only the lower versions of widevine, which many platforms don’t support at all

Which ones?

Could be worse, some people park or put their hazards on for minutes at a time in the middle of a one lane one way road.
