For $1000 you could get a small furnace for cintering, a regular 3D printer and some of that special PLA that has metal powder in it that you can print and then cinter into a solid metal piece (The PLA bakes off) and just make the fucking thing yourself.
So, current issue I’m trying to solve.
Should I try and find a workaround for that or just use discord from the desktop app and keep it segregated from my other traffic while accepting its compromised without even the minor protection of a VPN.
Or go full paranoid and make a brand new account and re-grab my old friends which creates an identifiable but not immediately obvious link to an old account (and then just self censor my own speech from then on out to avoid self doxing)
Honestly a pretty sunshine idea.
I have this smart lightbulb that I got for halloween last year because I thought it’d be cool to make the porch glow purple for trick or treaters. Now I have to replace it because the app that controls it has decided to try and blackmail me for camera and location access and the bulbs default state without the app is to flash on and off in a way seemingly deliberately designed to cause headaches.
I tried Linux on my current build with a 9070XT and ended up on windows instead (still got linux on my laptop) Based on what I’ve been told you’re generally going to have issues with very new hardware unless you either get very lucky or go through a ton of troubleshooting. So Linux might work in a couple of months but for now it could be a headache.
Weirdly its plugged directly into the GPU in both cases but neither system info, nor blender can actually detect it. (despite the PC clearly posting) and the Terminal detects a power colour GPU but can’t connect to it.
Ahhh so Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS might be a bit behind?
Direct GPU connection, which makes the fact that it even posts weird now tha you mention it.
I am precisely in the middle of this chart.
Aren’t like half of those bullet points positives? Also in addition to what you said once you got a tree you got a tree, those tanks need constant maintenence and cycling which I doubt anyone is going to bother with for more than a year after installing them.
I mean I did complain on lemmy about how annoying it was a few times, its a shame too because this problem turned out to be super simple and potentially super common, it would just take a couple of lines being changed on the official setup guide to resolve it… actually come to think of it since its just renaming a file all it would take is having 2 copies of that file in the image with both names since only one is ever going to be used at a time anyway.
Mint Cinnamon. It turned out just to be switching the name of a file on the boot media but it took a long time to work through other issues to get there.
I finally switched to Linux, while Linux itself is just as easy to use as Windows, actually installing Linux can be a nightmare. When setup works properly its no harder than windows, the other 95% of the time its about chasing down an easily solved problem but you have to figure out which easily solved problem it is.
Thank you! this solved it and I am writing this comment from Linux.
\EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi
Can you tell me where to get this? The threads are all written by people who seem to assume the reader already knows what it is and the GNU GRUB website appears to be completely dead with none of the links or pages working except for the introduction one.
No luck with secure boot, gonna see if I can find a bios update for this thing.
Edit: Aaaand Asus no longer offers bios updates for this model.
Been trying to install mint on an old laptop and it just gets into a crash/boot loop after installing. The USB preview on the other hand appears to work perfectly.
I mean… they are out of touch. I’m sure its possible to have a pain free switch over but when I had trouble the advice was interspersed with quite a few caveats. In essence Linux is ‘easy to setup but…’ Still gonna try again though, also guys that laptop you all said was dying because linux made it crash is still working fine on windows with no sign of trouble.
And cybernetics that won’t play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we’re heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)
