Enjoy getting replaced at that job, you mean. If they’re replacing recruitment, those companies don’t value what humans bring to the table.

They stopped putting aluminum in homes, because it has a tendency to overheat more. The aluminum expands and contracts with load more than copper, which can loosen contact points and encourage oxidation, which then increases resistance and heat. Hot wires in the walls and outlet boxes are no bueno.

Tried it, and it works! Loads at startup, and I don’t have to reload the CoolerControl daemon or do any other manual intervention.

Thanks!

Okay I will admit it was impressive to see how they solved where to stow the wings and essentially shrink the airplane footprint to a long car footprint, but who is this for? Who out there has $1mil to blow and is like, “I have to drive directly from the tarmac to my hotel”?

This thing needs 300m of runway in its airplane form to get airborne, so forget city or even suburban takeoffs. And you’re not going to just drive this thing around. At the end of the day, this is still a (very fancy) plane that drives.

Thanks, sounds very similar to what’s going on with those users. I’ll look into that thread a little more

Unfortunately, this didn’t fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says

Trying family 'ITE'...
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688

After which it doesn’t find any modules to load for it, despite having a DKMS module installed that includes that chip.

(Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)

It worked, and I appreciate the explanation. I also realized I was using the wrong ID (which still worked, somehow); it should have been 0x8688.

I guess I can now figure out the best way to get that to run at startup or on login! Thanks again.

I did, but before I installed the modules. Do I need to also do it after?

I think they’re using “geek” here to mean “fan,” but I agree that being a geek implies a level of fandom or interest that these “wounded fans” don’t have, or else they’d know more about these corporations they’re stanning.

I think a better word would simply be “fan.”

It’s pretty cool how books are more than just fuel for imagination, no? But I second the idea of joining a book club, because not only do you get the cognitive effects of a book, but you get the social benefits of a club!

Some people think you can use it as a replacement for therapy or to fight loneliness. Turns out, simply reading fiction is better.

Fwiw, I almost always get some amount of buyer’s remorse when I make a purchase, usually on expensive items. There’s some hidden cost or feature that isn’t quite what I’d hoped for.

Not so with the Steam Deck. It has been virtually everything I hoped for, and not once have I felt like it did or had something I didn’t want. When you pull the trigger, I hope you get the same experience.

Yeah, the standards of the internet are just piled on top of each other. Rendering code and whatnot is the easy part. Keeping up with the standards is the hard part (or so I have read).

It’s because it’s hard to maintain a browser. There’s lots of protocols and engines and other moving pieces; I remember when web pages would render in Netscape but not Internet Explorer, for example.

We take for granted how seamless and ubiquitous the internet is, but there were lots of headaches as internet devs decided to adopt or include different users (or not).

And now, it would take a lot of effort and market upset to convince the capitalist overlords to include something new in their dev stack. The barrier to entry is monumentally high, so most people don’t bother to try inventing something better.

Good. Sucks that it took open fascism to get that to happen, but at least it happened.

Because there’s non-programmers in this community, if you aren’t sure what this means but are too afraid to ask, it’s a Regular Expression that better represents the terms “Linux” and “Unix.”

Though if we’re going to be that pedantic, it would be [nN][uiI][xX]$. That extra pipe wouldn’t actually do anything in the last example, because regexp picks one character from the set by default.

And if we want to be really pedantic,

(?!nix)[nN][uI][xX]$

Would be the most accurate.

Edit: based on comments, I think…

(nux|NIX)$

…would be the best. Then you don’t wind up with weird matches with things like UNiX.

Balena Etcher is a writer that does one ISO at a time. Other similar options are Fedora Writer, Rufus, etc.

Ventoy is one that can do multiple ISOs and is generally easy to manage.

However, be aware that Ventoy has a lot of unknown code involved. There’s binary blobs that the maintainer refuses to open source, so there’s a big question over whether it’s hiding some malware or is using unpatched packages. Nobody knows except the maintainer, and it’s just his word saying it’s safe. You could use it to test out ISOs, but I wouldn’t personally use it to actually install a system.

Also, the Ventoy fanbois are pretty insufferable, and they tend to brigade anyone that speaks ill of Ventoy or its dev.

If you want something similar that’s open source, Glim works and could be a good option; YUMI has been around for a while, but I dunno if it’s still a good project or not.
