I also just swapped my monitor out after nearly 12 years with it.

I think ANYTHING you would have bought new would have looked awesome. Panel tech has advanced.

I mean you can always use the web version of office for 'free" with a Microsoft account. There’s a 100% chance your paper gets used to train AI but still

What’s happening in Ukraine sucks

That doesn’t contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.

Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn’t hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something

My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.

It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.

And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called “Revolver” to cycle through.

We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.

This is something I tell people all the time. It’s just as easy to troubleshoot on Linux as it is on Windows the biggest issue is that most people are just kinda innately aware of Windows troubleshooting by virtue of the fact that they’ve been doing it for so long. Linux is probably just as complicated skill wise, but most people just aren’t used to it yet.

And that’s especially true for gamers. If you’ve gone through the dance of tweaking BIOS settings or DDU removing drivers and reinstalling them, then you’re probably gonna do fine on Linux. The only difference is sometimes there won’t be a GUI you have to go hunt down. It will be like 3 commands someone has already written out for you that you copy/paste into the CLI. Which is WAY better in my opinion.

Pop OS

Lots of people were hyping it in 2019/2020 so I thought I’d give it a try as my first real Linux experience. It works great and has a Nvidia driver option when I need that. So I never really tried to switch.

Distro hoping never appealed to me, but I did try Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian 12.

I use Kali for work and considered swapping to XFCE DE but pop is fine.

They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.

I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.

《FAKE NEWS》

On your parents. They are now addicted to not just Gox but also Newsmax and OAN. You will win this battle gun mage, but I’ll win the war come Thanksgiving!

I like to pick the lock to make sure there’s nothing important behind the door. Then I lock it back to shoot it.
