Also trying to avoid this setup

This is really cool! How much did it cost you to get the board fully assembled? And how’s the layout? As ergonomic as you hoped?

You got me curious since it’s been ages since I uninstalled Reddit and it’s actually crazy how much more invested I am in Lemmy comments. Feels like all the Linux communities are actually helpful and full of real world experience, not to mention the flashlight community. Definitely a good reminder to set up a recurring donation to the smaller instance I use

Tried out Mint, Debian w/ KDE, switched to Debian w/ gnome, now settled into Cachy OS. Only thing I’m wanting for is support for my Dell Canvas touch and totem, but I expect that’ll get pushed to Open Tablet Drivers before long

This is what it comes down to. Nearly every office job pays for the Microsoft enterprise suite and office 365 subscriptions, before tacking on third party tools for monitoring and info. sec. for IT. I would gladly ditch Office 365 for Open Office and Debian, assuming all the higher ups would be willing to take such drastic measures to reduce expenses. I think most employees would balk at learning “an entire new system” regardless of how minor the differences actually are at this point.

I’ll give 'em this: Microsoft’s model creates very sticky revenue with high switching costs.

Agreed. More and more TVs support 4K 120fps every year and monitors keep getting higher fps / more pixel dense at current >120fps, pushing the market towards the flagship cards that are just insanely expensive at > $1K USD

It’s a problem already, right now. Prices are already ridiculous and I’m sure the Nvidia 5000 series will be even more so before AMDs 8000 series add fuel to the fire in an effort to retain their fledgling market share.

It’s the main reason I haven’t upgraded yet: I just don’t want to drop ~$1K USD on another GPU that can handle 4K 120fps displays

This is the funniest comment I’ve ever seen on lemmy

First one I remember was a beige tower and similarly beige CRT my dad brought home from his office since he bought a new tower. It ran Windows XP, but barely. Spent a lot of time on homestarrunner.com, addicting games.com, and other flash game sites since I had no money for actual games and I already beat all the games on my Gameboy.

Oh golden sun was such a gem. My parents bought it used for cheap and I had such low expectations - spent so many hours playing through the storyline as a kid it has to be the best playtime/$ investment in my lifetime so far.

Definitely going to go hunt down Golden Sun 2 now

Hanklight D4K for $50 was my first portable enthusiast flashlight. I’m currently 4 hanklights deep and they’re loads of fun out in the country for spotting wildlife and general use with the open source Anduril 2 firmware (yes, flashlights can get firmware updates).

It’s all about how you play in my experience. If you want to get a basic factory up and go slug hunting, super chill. If you want to sink your spreadsheet teeth into optimizing every resource available and build a non-spaghettified factory, plenty of room to go hard core.

Also the graphics are fantastic for all the massive machinery

Absolutely do not sacrifice your health for someone that does not treat you like an equal partner.

Echoing what others have said, she’s an adult, and she is not your responsibility. Move on. You’ll know you’ve found a good match when you take good care of each other and approach life as a team: celebrate your successes and support one another through tough times.

This is where I’m at; upper management has already greenlit moving all data to a OneLake Data Hub so the rank and file can try power bi instead of excel for everything. Suggesting moving away from their ecosystem at this point is moot

Sounds similar to the concept of a swamp cooler to me; maybe look up how they calculate efficiency?

Also, swamp coolers are only effective below a certain temp, so you’d need to think about bypassing (cutting the fan and turning on air con) above a certain threshold

Any iOS Amp users that can recommend Amp? Seems like there’ll be either a huge number of streams or almost none

I still haven’t bit the bullet on a stub nib; how do you like TWSBI’s 1.1mm?

Notes and flashcards for actuarial exams. Makes me actually excited to study even the dry topics when I have a new pen and new ink. I’ve stuck to Muji notebooks since they’re so affordable and high quality.
