I kid you not.

J Borrows mechanical.

Brown switches. Backlit. With proper transparent keys. Soft grippy risers. Beautiful form factor. Feels amazing.

They killed it. I’m super impressed.

I have yes. And I’d forgotten. Thank you. Adds an extra layer.

That’ll do Donkey… That’ll do.

Edit. I mean it. That calming way shrek says it. The idea that enough has been done, and that everything is OK. That I’m ok. It’s a lovely, and powerful moment in the film that translates to so many day to day situations.

This is one evil ass company. I think, although it sounds… pessimistic… this is Virtue signalling.

Either they did something pretty evil recently, that is even more evil than their normal evil, or they are about to.

Yeah totally.

Bad cameras in Afghanistan. Good cameras in UK. Oh, and we want to watch all your phone data, all the time.

This is UK propaganda, plain and clear.

Don’t pay it. In Australia they’re trying, and I remind them they get paid well, get paid overtime, get paid a pension, and get paid more to take holidays. After being paid all that, why is the shitty machine prompting a tip?

Beautiful.

May I ask what medium you’re using for the white?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

Driving up the road, about 2400km, over a couple of days, to say gday to my old mum. Bless her. She’ll have some lovely baked goods for me on my arrival.

Oh, hell no. We are absolutely tiny.

It’s very much a trust-based situation as we all work together and in a small team.

I would actually love to know how to handle remote shutdown of PCs and lock out and things like that, for as we do grow, we are getting busier, and starting to expand.

That is so disturbing. I am actually horrified.

I’ve been seeing the slippery slope coming with Mozilla, but this is next level business.

Are there actually really any decent private browsers left out there, that are fully open source, and trusted, and usable, that people can fund, that don’t go down this enshitification path?

The absolute irony of this article coming from a UK organization.

The UK is the most surveilled country in the entire world.

You can’t scratch yourself there, without the AI reporting how many scratches, and at what angle you scratched.

Our work is the opposite. As soon as a new machine arrives we go straight to BIOS at boot, switch the settings and install Linux immediately. Windows never sees the light of day. I do feel for you as we do do sales calls and in the middle of sales calls the people that we are calling have their computers reboot on them, do an update, or I’ve just got to restart and on restart it does an update and huge amounts of time are wasted on those people.

Windows probably costs the world millions a day in wasted, for time for shit like that.

Mystery solved. Thank you

TIL!

I spent about two years trying and giving up to get my fingerprint reader working on my X1 Carbon.

Then chat gpt comes out and I ask that how to do it.

It gives me a one-line bash / script thingy, and my fingerprint reader has worked ever since.

That was a pretty cool day.

The dive into fascism

this is a gen6 e14. Thank you. That’s what I needed to hear. Turns out the intel has a bit more to it, will udpate my post. So undecided

How amazing is the fediverse. There’s no going back. Actual, open protocols, that encourage collaboration and sharing without a corporate overlord. I’m so excited and feeling positive for the internet. It’s been a long time since I’ve said that.

OMG! It worked. Game. Changer!

Thank you so much!
