funny part, is I’ve got it exactly like the picture, wrapped and put neatly into the box only once…

rest looked like this, like some used it as a arch-deluxe condom.

irony is, I love both 😂

so I put these thigh highs and bowties on for nothing!?

allowing Palantir and supporting ice was my cutoff… I had premium for years…

worse was how suddenly my playlists I listened to often, the songs started sounding different/wrong… turns out they were silent swapping them for AI cover versions…

surely this classified military work, won’t be civilian surveillance…

also sensibly built EVs. most modern EVs use liquid cooling around the batteries and sensors can detect temperatures too high or too low to engage pumps and heating elements to warm the fluid and prevent battery issues.

cooling stopped being a major issue a few years ago, in battery packs, the cells are cooled via liquid cooling automatically and kept in balance. efficiency calculations in warmer climates are generally better than combustion engines as the waste heat is vented off and in some cases even reused. while petrol and diesel engines compound heat, they require careful operation and often the spec is wrong for warm environments, risking overheating.

I honestly don’t know what your talking about. proxmox updated the pve kernels immediately after this CVE was published…

additionally, this CVE only applies to older (pre-6.17 kernels). unless you are on proxmox 8 or earlier, you are already running a “patched” kernel as the pathway necessary for this was changed and in kernel 7.x and above this CVE doesnt work…

gotta love that GUI, that bombards you with reminders to subscribe to their paid tier repository constantly and won’t let you update…

also, provides no methodology to control when it wants to overwrite a config or when a externally added signable dkms exists and creates a prompt during dkms building.

the gui is nice, but it’s far from perfect…

ms, google(android) and apple have already implemented this. it’s waiting to go live. there was a discussion about it quite a while ago.

that’s what this infrastructure is for. all of these bills are written with google/ms/apple accounts with subusers in mind.

California one doesn’t even have language to let adults have a user legally…

ultimately I think it’s apple/ms working with meta hoping to force people to use Thier software

I mean… it should be obvious that this would happen. google since 2024 has gone full on fascist-support.

your data, regardless of where you live in the world, is not safe from Google sharing it specifically with the US Govt. without due process and without any privacy oversight.

it’s not in question that they will comply, it’s in their best financial interest as they are a government contractor at 4 different levels, including military intelligence and weapons design…

trusting Google is at your own peril… but we are also in a point of time where options are even more limited due to the restrictions on email providers and platform dependence.

?? I’m not following. sure you can run arm based CPUs as a mobile device, but performance of large applications or x86 applications is poor.

there is also the addressable memory space issue that exists due to most arm core designs targeting phones… the bus is super limited, despite the architecture technically supporting much much more.

current RiscV cores suffer this same flaw as well.

the reason arm cores have better battery life is they are designed with phones in mind… not a desktop cpu. x86 mobile CPUs are cut down desktop CPUs with tdp restrictions. there is a massive difference as a result.

we are talking completely different design philosophies. it’s like comparing a ebike to a sports car… sure the ebike gets great energy economy when you scale the batteries. it’s half petal powered and has tiny draws on lightweight frame. it’s apples to oranges.

motorcycles would be more apt, but for arm, none really exist outside of obscenely priced workstations.

Microsoft was '81 for acquiring DOS (and that’s technically a lie, they didn’t have the source code for several years later. but it’s how they convinced IBM)

both MS and Apple were living BASIC at this time. Basic is not a operating system, it’s a pre-compiler environment. it’s designed to let you run code directly without machine code. as assembler and C was not a thing or rather licensed yet.

BSD specifically Netbsd exists as they were part of the invention of C code. BSD was ported from assembler/machine code to be portable with C.

MSdos, which Microsoft acquired by buying Qdos (aka 86dos), was written by a developer who stole most of the code and copied the rest from a existing operating system (which I cannot recall at this time). both were In negotiations with IBM. just Microsoft lied through their teeth to get the contract and won.

apple at the same time had fallen behind. the Lisa and apple II were still running a basic interpreter on top of ROMMON. Wozniak who wrote ROMMON and later large portions of apples next two OSes including OSx. kept pushing to get a actual Unix like Operating system on the device.

however Steve jobs was cruel, and demanded no new changes… it’s why Wolfenstein was nearly out before a true OS existed from Apple… Steve had a long history of trying to control advancement through forcing model version advancements with weaker hardware than the previous so you would be encouraged to upgrade.

Unix dates back to the 1960s. you have to count back to the BELL/AT&T days as it was available to educational institutions.

apple was still using BASIC on Thier first machines long after netbsd

one of the things I’ve been happy about in the last 24mo, is the HDR and NVIDIA support. until last year I was still using my old 2070 (non super) as I was waiting to upgrade.

that became more and more rock solid on the open NVIDIA driver.

when KDE put HDR into stable and then proton got HDR. now Firefox and Chrome. I’ve been in bliss. I don’t even get this good of HDR support on windows and I still have that on a secure NVME for work lol

there is 2 apps for modifying Logitech kbd controls. I don’t use either, but I would take a look at some wikis if you try again. personally I just avoid logi for anything but mice and webcams. also avoid Razr for anything, backdoors in their drivers are just plain stupid.

motherboard sensors I can get, I have a issue with mine with lmsensors, I’m a longtime Linux user so I can navigate to fix that with some dkms kernel modules… but I totally get how and why this would be a issue and full blame lmsensors for being too bloody slow mainlining sensors… license shenanigans are a pain.

?? in the past yes. but there has been lots of videos on the topic. people talking about how they filter it with firewall rules on their routers, etc.

by the first device intended to run full applications from external developers and interact with a active web.

this even puts palm, blackberry and early windows mobile devices barely outside of the cutoff sadly. they simply weren’t designed for the “extensions” people used to make them bridge into becoming a “smart phone”.

most of that list also is post-iphone/iPod too, which makes it kinda moot.

it’s kinda why windows phone, iOS and Android are treated as the “first” of their kind. as that was Thier intent from the start.

what year do you think it is?

I am using my VR headset playing half-life alyx, while using my premium Logitech mouse, Elgato stream deck and streaming to YouTube.

nothing has any issues. all of my messaging services have apps and just work “out of the box”. setup took me maybe 20 minutes. most of it was just going to my phone for 2fa.

only time this is ever a issue is obscure, windows only applications that use special hardware authentication like some old CAD software. or some silly editing software like Adobe cloud who intentionally block Linux. (also older adobe software is better anyways and works. Linux alternatives exist and work equally as good.)

I remember how it was 5 & 10 years ago. struggling at each step. but it’s not the case today. on the rare occasion I need to spend time diagnosing something, it’s usually because the company behind it did something disgusting, that makes me want to stop using their services anyways.

it’s rarely ever hardware or software that doesn’t use online services.

PDAs are not “SmartPhones”. if we want to go that route, we can trace the first “Smart Phone” to the Berkley Unix “Mobile Phone Device”.

iPhone was the first to market, but to get there required them pushing vendors into exclusivity agreements and Steve Jobs threatening to “flatten Thier companies, in court” if they backed out and refused.

Steve was very biligerent to his friends and allies. shrewd, like a dictator, not like a general. if he didn’t like your descent he would steamroll over you. he would make promises all the time to his staff, to get them to work harder on projects, just to peacemeal them and shoehorn them into weaker projects that would make customers dependent and demand more.

what Steve jobs did best, is know how to make a cult and exploit the desire for “if only it could do ‘X’ it would be perfect”.

don’t take my word for It. his business partners said the same thing… they begged him to come back as he sabotaged them externally when they tried to improve…

apple went through a period where they genuinely were improving. they sold Thier software and hardware to third parties to make Thier own versions…

but then Steve jobs went and sabotaged them, got a massive amount of bad press for apple to make them appear weak, and put the 2 final nails in the coffin.

he pushed software vendors to support m$ and next step more.

then he went to apples suppliers and made it for it was even more difficult for them to develop in-house hardware to compete with third parties…

all of this, so they would start to go bankrupt so Steve could ride in on his white horse going “See, you should of stuck with my vision”. then Steve goes and pushes for restrictive hardware with a architecture change so third party models would be obsolete, clones pc-clones from asia (mostly JVC/nec) which were exploring with transparent plastics and still tried to shovel next step to everyone…

I was playing Doom on SPARC Unix, when apple was still trying to add resizable windows…

I don’t think people realise just how much they were screwed because of apple and microsoft manipulating the market so much.

hardly. Aero seen it’s development start before aqua was a published design.

Aero appeared in MSDN builds a full 4 years before…

if anything its a ripoff of a old gnome 2/3 theme. I think it was called ice?

alot of that era was ripping off gnome and KDE ui designs… there was Portable Media Players using Linux kernels on arm hardware that predated the iPod and Zune by a full 3 years…

advertising and paid reviews on tv and magazines got you sales and buried everything back then…

you could steal the US president and hide it with a single fox news broadcast in 2009…
