  • What if instead of trying to be cutting edge and shit you look backwards. Do something with mechanical computing. Maybe think up a way it could still be useful in the modern era. Like in high radiation environments where electronic computers break down too quickly for example. I wonder if you could design a mechanical computer that could operate indefinitely in an environment like chernobyl, and power itself via the ambient radiation in the area? That could be cool.

    Disclaimer: i am not a computer engineer in the slightest, and didn’t even have a classical education so im not 100% sure what a dissertation is.




  • I agree with everyone saying just to get a new dongle. It’s not worth the headache spending hours trying to get one to work when you can get one that’ll work much better for pretty cheap. When i got my current laptop i specifically got a model that has ubuntu support from the manufacturer even tho i don’t run ubuntu. Because all the hardware in it will atleast be decently linux compatible if they want to ship it with ubuntu sometimes.

    Also Mint is typically pretty good about drivers so if its not working on Mint then yeah its gonna be a pain to fix is my guess.
