that 330 million was nothing compared to all the highly personal data they get access to. that’s the real payment. the money is pocket change for entities like thiel

oh, I see. well, lessons learned hopefully! :)

what garbage cleanup tool gets rid of dotfiles, especially .git? if you let us know we can learn to avoid it

well, it’s in the settings. “Include anti features” menu.

my 750 ti works. nouveau can’t increase the clock speed to the operating clock on boot, on boot the display on that card shows random data with colorful pixels, and nvtop does not see it either, but it works.

I would say they’re a bot,

not a bad guess probably. just a week or two ago was when I noticed them posting frequently very suddenly, and before that I haven’t seen their name anywhere.

instructions unclrear: palantir office is now in underground bunker

unexpected lesson, but that umask in a subshell is very clever!

this user has been posting lots of questionable things. lately I see them often

“in a big way”, “it will be your win”

It’s ridiculous

a loaded gun, sure. is that what you also think about the billions of windows users?

I mean with something easier than OBS, but which works on KDE or any other desktop. something like OnTopReplica on windows

isn’t it possible with some external utility? OBS can capture individual windows with pipewire, and it can render that to a new window, so it must be possible with something easier too

I have heard less about phone chargers failing catastrophically. They also handle much less power (except the fancy ones), and I haven’t seen a hot phone charger adapter yet, but plenty laptop chargers of which some were just very warm, and some so hot just on its outsides that it was uncomfortable to hold it in hand.

this is why I’m more worried about laptop chargers

I still don’t understand why is it so essential to connect everything to the internet

I would assume that landfill laptop manufacturers are trying to minimize costs even harder on the charger.

but what timeframe do you mean with “anymore”? laptops made in this decade, or the last 10 years, or something else? there’s plenty of old laptops that fitinto OPs category.

I think 5W probably can’t be achieved, maybe with chromebook-like hardware, but I guess GPIO could be solved with a USB accessory

in my opinion the bigger problem is the fire hazard of an unsupervised charger. I have seen enough that runs super hot, and even if it doesn’t, I just can’t trust them.

but what will fix the fire hazard of the charger? how will you be able to keep it plugged in 24/7?

fdisk cannot convert the partition structure, but gdisk can, though you better have a full backup bedore attempting to do it
