Try could also remove all the seats. People can sit on the floor or whatever. Just shove them in like cattle, and charge for window seats that have no windows or seats.

It holds a pretty essential position in the world economy, so I would say yes.

Once we’ve replaced it with renewable energy, it won’t be essential for the energy sector any more, but the chemical industry will still need some oil.

It’s a familiar feeling. It took many years for me to grow out of it. Eventually, you might get tired of it, like I did. In the meantime, though, keep on tweaking as long as you enjoy it.

Nowadays, my systems have very few tweaks. A wallpaper for aesthetics, a few keyboard shortcuts for efficiency, and a coloured bash prompt for readability. Now that I think of it, these tweaks only address the things I really dislike. Looks like nowadays I can’t be bothered to tweak anything unless some issue drives me mad. 😃

Generally, I would recommend getting an enterprise laptop such as Lenovo T or X series, Dell Latitude, or HP EliteBook. In that order.

Interestingly though, these models are supported by W11, because they’ve had various security features for years. If you want something specifically unsupported by W11, the selection is suddenly narrowed down to consumer-grade crapbooks. They should be cheap though, so might as well buy two while you’re at it.

OK, thanks.

Based on those comments, it still sounds pretty rough. Are those the worst-case scenario, or should all Nvidia users expect that sort of struggle?

Are you using FOSS divers or the proprietary ones? How about power management, suspend, wake up etc?

Same. I’ve been avoiding NVIDIA for years now, and haven’t regretted it yet. However, some people say that NVIDIA divers are good now, but I have my doubts about it. Seeing posts like this one just reinforces my confirmation bias.

In Cyberpunk, the NCPD is basically just another gang. More organized than the Valentinos or Tiger Claws, but pretty much the same by the end of the day.

In real life though, ICE seems to be a lot like a gang too. Have they pivoted to drugs and violent extortion yet? You know, if you smuggle guns and slaves, you can make a lot of money?

Two stickers in the 69 orientation. It’s legally required at this point.

LOL.
This is the way.

I think it’s just for the giggles.

An Apple sticker on a Thinkpad? Please, tell me you also installed Linux on it. That would be peak irony, right there.

I like to imagine it’s one of these.

Just wait. There’s so much that could be done with AI.
You could even include visual cues for every demographic, like hobbies, occupations, country of origin and so on. If the ad has a picture of an object relevant to your life, it will probably have absolutely nothing to do with the product they’re pushing.
If you didn’t hate ads already, the future will probably make you want to throw a molotov cocktail at the front door of the ad company.

Exactly. This is clearly the biggest problem. Who cares if every atom in the entire universe gets shredded in a new big bang when the screen of my iPad might get scratched next time I toss it in my bag.

No more iPad covers.

Clowncore. We really need to have a clowncore band in Eurovision.

It’s just the system working exactly as intended. Poor masses remain subjugated by the rich, and history repeats itself.

Weigh that against how much it costs to develop, test, and deploy a fix. If you get fines like that 10 times every day, you could have spent all that money on developer wages and the problem would have been fixed in a month or two. If it’s only one ticket a month, it’s cheaper to leave it as it is.

Only a 1000 bucks? That’s just the cost of doing business to them.
