That’s really cute until you apply the “alive in wrong space at wrong time” philosophy to cockroaches and termites. Clean your house and keep the local wildlife outside.

Because windows is really bad for work, I would want my kde multidesktop multiscreen setup while I earn money spending time in visual studio.

Adapt and fight. Linux is the dominant OS for everything, so Windows started to support it (wsl) so they don’t loose developers. Secure boot worked as a moat for a while and the MS monopoly on OS keys is still an obstacle. Linux works better on ARM than Windows, so obviously Qualcom Laptops have a locked down bootloader. They will continue to lock themselfes into the future with money and development resources.

Human zoomies feel great :)

Not sure, looks like a pencil, but the sharpened edge doesn’t check out.

Objectifying your fiance is cheating in this game.

Lmao the heart is 0,6m long and beats at 170 bpm. At least your soundtrack will be lit!

Agreed.

But only 2 and 5 look post processed after extrusion to remove sharp edges, while the others don’t. I have cheap cutlery like this and I don’t like the feel.

Only public facing ports, maybe your openvpn login. But that means you are already firewalled up and your attack surface is tiny, good 👍

I recommend fail2ban to stop the automated attacks that are the background noise of the internet. It will set your firewall to block certain ip’s for a while, especially ports 21/22 are getting hammered with dictionary login attempts. And port 80 and 8080 for example get constantly version checked to see if you are vulnerable with an old apache, old dokuwiki etc, so don’t expose more than you need to and maybe learn about ssh tunnels and close a few.

I once installed ossim in a small network with a server and it showed me it is war out there, scripts flying everywhere.

I’m kindof a nimby when it comes do giant cockroach farms in my area, please don’t scale this up. Don’t make “oops 2 billion milkroaches have escaped” a thing.

I like badblocks in destructive mode. It can also do multiple rounds of overwriting. It is also a good tool to burn in a new hdd or test a used one. just check smartctl bad sector count, run it, check again if it increased.

Someone has to write all these shitty articles how bad the other generations are.

Lmao, roll-playing at its best!

“Roll a constitution based slight of hand check, add your polearm proficiency.” … “You wake up with extra exhaustion and d12 dignity damage.”

Techspot.com / the youtube channel hardware unboxed is also recommendable - consumer focus and willing to correct themselves when new data drops. The most important thing is to get your requirements right - what resolution, do you buy modern games or everything on high discount, what are you currently not happy about(need 30,50,70,100% more?), are you willing to sell your current card to offset your upgrade costs… good luck!

CES is next week, unless you get a really good deal, this is the moment to wait and see how the market will shift this year. As for your performance question, I recommend the relative performance table at the bottom of your current gpu’s page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-5700-xt.c3339

Starting with Visual Studio (not code) helps a ton. Make a simple winforms application with a button and some labels and you will start to see how it ‘starts up’ from program.cs to your form.
