Weird. Butt combat never bored me.

Is it a surprise if it’s two months in advance and around the same time every Pixel has been launched?
I get that we have to impress shareholders, but why can’t they just be honest and say it doubles CPU performance with the chance of even further improvement with software optimization. Doubling performance of the same hardware is still HUGE.
We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.
Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.
Not sure why everyone’s making a big todo of all of this, he gently assaulted his victims targets caressees.
The person was asking a fairly simple question and I gave an answer that avoided jumping into the genealogy of GNU/Linux based distributions. Many apologies, won’t happen again.
I mean, they list Red Hat and Ubuntu as the only OFFICIALLY supported Linux distros and both of those are based on other “non-supported” distros, so I don’t think it means much.
“This has been what the last month of my life has been like.”
Is a perfectly acceptable and infinitely more understandable statement lol
They used our taxes to pay back our taxes!
We did bug collections in 7th grade. Anyone that caught these guys was immediately the coolest for the week. If you caught more than one, you could trade for pretty much any other bug someone had caught.
The first time a kid caught one the teacher would put it on the projector and spent a solid 15 minutes fat shaming it and pointing out its little tiny wings.
I loved AsusWRT-Merlin back when I used an Asus router.
As others here have mentioned, Tdarr can handle a lot of it automatically
Your first mistake was using math in Missouri.
So switches are able to do a lot of interesting things.
Think about in a business, you want to have credit card machines, users computers, and maybe a security system and cameras. There have been so many news reports of how awful the cyber security of security cameras are that maybe you don’t want them to be on the same local network as the thing taking your customers payments. So, you could buy another router and switches and pay for a second internet service. But you know you don’t use all the bandwidth you currently have and you have extra ports on the switch. What if you could create a second local network? Have it on the same physical hardware but logically separate in the router and switch. Like a virtual local area network.
This is exactly what a VLAN can accomplish. Now though, you have to tell the switch what port is using what VLAN, so you build a GUI into it.
Some switches are also able to supply power to those cameras and the access points around your business, but that takes more electricity going into the switch, so you need to keep heat down, so slap a fan in there. Also, what happens if you want to power cycle a camera? Well, you could go find the cable and physically unplug it, or you could just reboot the whole switch, but hey, you already have a GUI for VLAN config, why not slap the ability to turn a port on and off in there too!
The same goes for a home network, maybe you have a few cheap smart lights that have a questionable level of security… they’re fun though! So instead of risking your whole network, slap them in a dedicated VLAN and now some sweaty neckbeard doesn’t get to know what Christmas present you bought for your one favorite coworker.
These are just a few examples of the top of my head. There’s plenty of other reasons for a GUI and fans.
Where do you get a 12 tb drive for $100?
Depending where the water goes, a truckload of dead fish isn’t the greatest for an ecosystem either.
Still better than bleach or something, but possibly not great.
I remember the first time I learned about patent licensing….
Shit. Looks like we forgot about him again.
Maybe something like diesel-electric that they use with trains with solar panels providing some of the electricity is a more realistic thought.
Yeah, I see both parts of this.
BOOX advertises “Super Refresh” which makes eink almost able to play a YouTube video. There’s a lot of software (and probably hardware) development there.
Google still issues security patches for Android 12 as well.
It could be much worse. At least BOOX issues updates….
