Alex horne? But why? Greg davies is so much better :')

I solved this differently. I have a framework and told my boss: “if i leave the company before the laptop is mine, ill pay the 100€ it costs to get a new top cover to replace the stickered one” :p.

Its a 5min job so ye hehe

Oh god no, fuck that useless arse haha

I disagree. Though both qwerty layout, uk english > us english/international layout.
The enter key alone makes it better as is :p

Yup. I have yet to play around with wayland since im a linux mint user but look forward to it. I know what xserver intended to solve and weve gone way past those times. Something new is needed, and i hope wayland can integrate ui a lot better than xserver can. From what ive heard there are things wayland cant do that xserver can ( like stitching 2 monitors together and make it act like 1 ) but that wont stop me from trying and looking for performance differences

Not really. Linux mint/cinnamon is lacking behind on wayland support. Im still waiting for them to finish it but its going very very slowly.

With debian and ubuntu switching by default, i think linux mint will have to change gears quickly

Right, so basically he removed the software aspect in his tests which removes systems to protect the battery. I assume without them, it is damaging, like what great scott found.

Ye, he should have continued his experiments then!

Ok, before i watch the video, no damage is not what great scott found from his testings… ( https://youtu.be/iMn2yVoEqPs ).

so i have no idea what to believe anymore, but my (based) experience is that it does damage it. Ill have to watch later.

Cant happen due to the end of zero 4 though.

Neither. Both games were run into the ground.
If i had to pick one, id go for an x ( or game based on x and zero ) game that goes over the elf wars that ties the x games to the zero games

Not sure why youre getting downvoted, you are right. If you got access to knowledge via your job that has nothing to do with your job and use that knowledge, youre fucked.
For example, you work in a team that makes a ecommerce website, and have access to the wms team’s files. In those files you read about barcodes and their rules/parsing specs, some of those files are only to be read under a contract. Making anything related to the barcodes, even in your own time and equipment, is a nono.

Trust me, ive been in the grey zone and have contacted lawyers about it.

Fugaku is not a pc. Its a computer, but not a pc. Its a supercomputer :)

Its a slippery slope, yes, but its one that separates a personal computer from any other device that just happens to compute something.
I get the point though, what makes the arm ampere system a pc and the phone in your hand not? It both has a arm cpu and hardware connections after all :)
Same arguments count towards the playstation or other consoles

Sure, but the wii’s coprocessor’s os was also unix/bsd based and that was nowhere near pc hardware. Actually, a few embedded devices (cheap routers, cheap toys,… ) use bsd (while they should run linux hehe) and are nowhere near pc architecture :p.

What makes a pc a pc is the actual hardware layout, hardware connections internally and how it boots. Im looking deep into ps4 and i can see why people call it a pc, but its a huge misnomer. If a ps4 is a pc, a raspberry pi( or any random sbc ) is also a pc because it has a usb or sata controller, cpu and pci bus while it has no pch/fch, no pc bios (which i can accept to not be relevant) or any of the pc hardware you cant think off ( spoiler, its a lot more ).

Hell, pc’s dont even have a southbridge anymore. We have the pch which is directly connected to the cpu over a bus that is nowhere near the old northbridge/southbridge design…

Youre thinking of bootrom. Embedded devices use bootroms because they dont need the flexability of a bios. It means that on power on, the cpu is powered on and its bootrom starts running code thats burned inside the cpu.
This is different from a bios, that is code separate from the cpu and tells the cpu what to execute and where in memory it is.
The os has nothing to do with bios too. Bios has to do with how the system powers up and starts the cpu, not the os and related stuff.

Ps4 and ps5 are not pc architectures though. It has a x86/x64 cpu, yes, but that doesnt make it pc architecture. Afaik the ps4/5 does not have a bios, pch, ddr ram controller etc etc

Huh, interesting. Im autistic myself and whenever i try to imagine a situation or place i kinda generate a world or scene in my head and apply what i know, or try to think of what could happen in that situation. In my day job this helps a lot to detect problems or make designs for things.

But i have never stood still to think that what you linked is what i might have, and is like a mature, overpowered version of what kids have. Thats flipping interresting

Not op that you replied to, but i find it funny to read your comments. I distinctly remember as a kid that i was playing with lego and i then realised that things like “justice” and “evil” are just in the eye of the beholder.
The good guy wanted to “protect his people and slay evil” (very hero-ist of the king lol) while the bad guy wanted to “have justice for being exiled and have better living conditions”. I realised they were both, essentially, the same thing. Both involved evil acts ( killing and fighting ).

So reading this chain of comments reminded me of that memory, and how true it is, at its core.
When we add factors like humans and power things gets vastly more complicated, but the core is the same.
Just like how current AI at its core, is interesting and super cool, but its been twisted and turned into something terrible because of humans, power and money

Which is what you see happening when updating or reinstalling a gpu driver.

Funny thing is, gpu drivers can still cause a bsod by causing fuckups in the directx driver, which ive seen happen :')

You think ive touched the apt commands in linux…?
I mean, youre right, but thats because i like to be hands on. But i dont have to if i wanted :p

Op inverted. apt update updates the local package cache of apt so it knows what packages have updates. apt upgrade then installs those updates.
