Hehe, that’s exactly where I got my idea from to control my breathing to try to float ;⁠-⁠)

Like an internal dive jacket

Ha! I’m skinny too and my wife always tells me, floating in water is just a learnable skill

I’m just drowning as well…even if I try to control my breathing to stay afloat, my legs will drop and it’s just a constant struggle to stay tensed, breathing while trying to keep a full lung to have more volume…
She meanwhile just floats by relaxing and doing nothing.

I’m still not sure if it’s really just technique or her boobs are acting as a life vest…

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can’t really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…

Yeah… Thanks
English isn’t my first language and it’s Friday, I’m everything but sober

I worked with a diplomated software engineer and that idiot couldn’t even set up his own computer.

This whole branche is cursed…

My fiances folder doesn’t hold any photos of partners. I’m just bad at typing…

As said, I was young…

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

All in all with you, just scrolled though the Manjaro page and saw that the Neo is advertised as having 2 mics

Equipped with built-in pickup and noise cancellation dual microphones, this device ensures clear and uninterrupted voice communication with teammates even in noisy environments. https://neo.manjaro.org/

adding that it won’t use your messages, calls, or groups to inform its ads.

I thought they used some E2E implemented for them by the Signal team.
Have they already butchered it completely?

With psychedelics it’s always important to do some post processing and integration of your experience in your reality/life.
Else yeah, it starts to pile up…

Does it run on Linux?

My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me…
I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure…

Well, that’s how my business trips usually look like.

Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.

Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.

Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you’re helplessly confused again …

Actually, in some industries this is actually a good thing

If you can have a bumpy first day on Friday, and e.g. the warehouse is closed on the weekend, you can fix all the things you’ve seen on Friday during the weekend. And don’t have to suffer through a real rough week with in-production patching

Just wait for Hurd!
Hurd will kick all those little asses, you’ll see, whenever it comes out!
And then GNU will be really independent and superior!
Can just be like a few years now!

Edit: I shouldn’t type anymore today …

Anyone having a link to a more technical (detailed) description?
This is quite novice orientated and I’d be very interested on how it actually works. Is there anything already disclosed?

Edit: link at the end to the original research/more detailed explanation:
https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/microarch/branch-privilege-injection/

Yeah, they don’t even trust themselves!
Also just looking for falsification…

Thank you very much!

I need exactly something like that thing! :⁠-⁠D

Something I can just connect to a device to gather logs and don’t need to care, that it’s lying in the dirt for a few hours.
Currently I need to use my main laptop and I’m always anxious to get it destroyed. Either by dirt/dust or a careless worker in the warehouse.

So this thing seems to be just perfect for such tasks

Can’t even express how happy and excited I am now, waiting for that sexy little thing to show up in my mail :⁠-⁠D

As mentioned in the linked comments, I think just using something like Tinker Writer Deck ( https://tinker.sh/ ) or even just using something like focuswriter in a slimmed down modern OS, is a much easier approach - because of much easier interfacing with the outside world (and used hardware). That way you can use rather normal stuff like rsync to backup your work through an actual ethernet or WiFi connection.

But I must admit, I really like the sentiment of the article :⁠-⁠)
(Although I’m a bit put off by his self referencing as a ‘vulture’ - but maybe I’m just out of the loop here…)
