No of course they are not really deleted, just a flag in their SQL database or something, but it’s still annoying…

yes, external thunderbolt/usb-c

Try a mini PC, like a beelink, some have very good eGPU, they are a marvel of engineering, a small PC 5"x4" more powerful than full ATX tower

This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.

It’s not really a TPM problem, my Dell has TPM2.0 which is perfectly compatible with win11. My problem is the CPU (i5 6th gen) missing some stuff for modern device drivers or something, that is preventing me from upgrading win10 to win11.

Yes I dual boot MX Linux on it :)

I ended on reddit, damn, but for 2 years I just lurk from time to time, never vote/comment/post

I am using MX Linux (Debian based) and at install I chose FDE, just with the GUI it’s easy to have LUKS+btrfs, nothing special to do. Encryption is done by hardware, your CPU has AES instructions that can encode/decode gigabits/s and is not a bottleneck at all.

I had a bulky ATX case with i7-3770k (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) and 3 years ago I switched to a mini PC, Beelink SER5 with a 5600H, 32GB RAM, 512MB M2. It is incredible, it is like 5"x4" on my desk, super silent, super fast, mini PC are incredible! Can plug 3x 4K display. Now they have pretty good GPU too.

First thing I did was to install MX Linux on it. It is my daily PC, using it for work for 3 years now.

Yup, and FB feed is horrible since then. Now a shit load of alternative pages are spam publishing all kind of fake news and far-right stuff. Everything is anti-left, bash liberal, bash quebec, bash woke, bash electric cars, etc.

Remember Steve Jobs, he was a prick and never showered, he stunk like crazy

Same, and I think this feature is called “change lane”, I can even set it on my car to disable/3 blinks/5 blinks, I set it to 5.

I saw Avatar 1 in theater, a long time ago, it was ok, never saw it again. I started avatar 2 on Disney+ or something, stopped after less than 10 minutes.

Same for old Dell, the $2000 laptop can be grabbed at $300 after 3 years, this is really cool. I installed Linux on mine too of course.

Same in Canada, especially since covid, a couple of restaurant chain are offering their food in the frozen aisle of supermarket

nasm? the x86 assembler from the 90s?

I like awk, I started using it in the 90s in university, I’m not a pro, but this is so powerful!

3dfx, haven’t heard of them for a long time, good old voodoo card

Me: “hé <AI name> remove the small text which is at the bottom right in this picture”

AI: “Done, here is the picture cleaned of the text”

congrats :)

Yes, especially China, they have “secret police stations” around the world, lot in Canada, where they track and harass Chinese citizens who have immigrated to Canada. It is well documented.
