Maybe a dumb question but what kind of case do you have? Hopefully not metal because I had some crazy wifi behavior before I realized the case was either dampening the signal or capturing too much noise.

No no. Those trees died of natural causes. /s

It’s past time to delete X. The platform is just as bad as it was a year ago. People couldn’t be bothered to do the simplest fucking thing until they realize, “Whoops! I was supporting fascism!”

Lenny was insanely effective and didn’t even need AI.

This only makes sense when the owner of the platform isn’t actively driving the conversation to the right.

Tried the native installer again (was using Flatpak up until now). No freezing and the encoders are found!

Only problem now is getting the resolution to change based on my client. Any other screen is going to be much smaller than my desktop widescreen so changing resolution is pretty important. The Sunshine suggestion didn’t work (script to run nvidia-settings command).

I’ll try that again but the first time I tried that I had to rollback because the desktop would freeze immediately after login.

On one hand that’s a good thing.

On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.

I’ve barely scratched the surface of Linux gaming (started using Linux as my main OS for games) and the biggest issue I’ve run into is Nvidia drivers. They’re technically supported on Linux but that doesn’t mean it’s equal to AMD or fully featured. Waydroid (Android emulator) doesn’t work with Nvidia nor does Sunshine (game streaming server). These cases may not apply to you but if I started from scratch I wouldn’t buy an Nvidia card. Hopefully this doesn’t apply to you.

Something tells me he’s not going anywhere.

It’s not the lock, it’s the fact that phones are usually encrypted after a reboot (to oversimplify). As the article says you have extra security measures to protect a freshly booted phone.

If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.

You’re absolutely right. I was referring to equations which, in my experience, is 90% of undergrad math.

If the laptop supports dual drives (not unheard of but not the norm) it’s way safer to dual boot from different physical drives.

Whatever OS you choose make sure they have a guide for dual-booting. Any Linux OS should be capable of dual-boot but not all will support that configuration equally.

As a failsafe I would also make a rescue USB, especially SystemRescue because of the findroot option.

If all cables were created equal then it’s kind of a big deal that laptops can now charge via USB-C. Proprietary chargers can suck my ass.

Agreed. Math, for the most part, is very rule oriented and problems only have one answer and often one strategy to get to the answer. If you work on many different problems (in the same subject) you should start to get used to the rules.

Overall I would say a strong math foundation is important to CS but CS isn’t just about coding. You can absolutely get a coding job without strong math skills or even without a degree, it’s just a bit harder to get started. If the discipline still exists you might consider a Business Information Systems degree (we used to call it CS lite). Depending on the position a company might equally consider BIS and CS majors.

Probably not the most pressing issue but Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of the most egregious rights violations that is not only legal when used but extremely lopsided in its fairness against those who have effectively been robbed by the police.

I think his main “selling point” that’s a bit unique to the US is his hard stance on the southern border. Too many white people are afraid of us becoming another Latino/Hispanic country.

Didn’t notice The Streets in your top 100. It’s kind of in line with Gorillaz. My fave album of theirs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Grand_Don’t_Come_for_Free

It looks nice but I’m sure they lean towards cool colors because they’re better at keeping you awake.
