Ask Intel how well compromising long term product development for short term gain is working now. How is their bank balance looking now?

You also cant just pick it up from scratch again. The people are gone, the relationships are gone and people who trusted your brand to build their businesses have gone elsewhere.

I swear businesses are run like political parties these days, they simply dont care about anything beyond the next cycle.

Translation, Micron is shutting down Crucial for short term shareholder value at the cost of a sustainable and proven long term brand and channel.

They also watched the totally real results of a landscape reflecting Warsaw and Stalingrad in WW2.

There are some benefits, but its situational and only affects you while your hardware is very new. Eventually the base kernel catches up in most cases.

Its like buying a pre-built PC vs a custom PC.

They do the same things at the end of the day, but the the custom PC converts the extra time investment into a result that gives better performance and is more suited to your needs.

Easing is not removing.

Anything more than a warning and disclaimer popup is too much.

As long as the button says buy, then its ownership and should be treated like physical goods.

Exactly. No need to add the executive toxicity filter

Executive positions are probably the easiest to replace with AI.

1. AI will listen to the employees
2. They will try to be helpful by providing context and perspective based on information the employee might not have.
3. They will accept being told they are wrong and update their advice.
4. They will leave the employee to get the job done, trusting that the employee will get back to them if they need more help.

Thx for the tip. I just got a 5x FPS boost in a very poorly optimized sim game “war at sea” thing was chugging along at 5-6 fps when lots of ships were on the screen. Was maxing out all 32 threads on my 5950x. Now it’s running a cool 20% utilization.

Thx for the tip, will give it a try.

I got it from the protonup app that is pre installed.

Its both

It uses an atomic update system on an immutable base. They don’t refer to the same thing, but you sort of need the one when you use the other for it to make sense.

Linux Mint is the windows 7 experience of linux. It gets out of the way so you can work. It also has the best in-OS help tools. It’s also a bit more conservative in terms of newest features, so it’s a lot more reliable.

If she does PC gaming, you might want to look at Bazzite rather than Mint. It’s a lot better equipped for non-technical people to start gaming. It’s basically a preconfigured Fedora linux, so it’s got a solid foundation. It’s also something called an immutable distro, which basically means it’s more difficult to break as the core OS is “read only” (to simplify).

In terms of migrating, best to avoid dual booting off a single disk. Microsoft keeps breaking Linux installs (probably on purpose). So best to install a second SSD.

Before you migrate, have her make a list of software she uses and the hardware she has. Best to post that on a forum like this to have more experienced people look for possible issues.

When it gets to migration day, if bitlocker is disabled, you can access your windows data from linux.

Also get her on Lemmy and asking questions directly. The best thing you can teach a low tech person is how to get help.

There are forced labourers, and then there are slaves.

Yep, Bazzite has been great for me on my gaming PC. Never going back.

Reagan was just a symptom. It was billionaires infiltration of both sides of politics that caused it. They leveraged Christian nationalism to infiltrate society. Remember when we laughed at the evangelicals and their corporate megachurches?

Capitalism, domesticated by socialism, resulted in the largest growth of human quality of life and productivity from about 1930 to 1980. Then capitalism eroded the socialism and wealth inequality started to increase.

You can plug your system into a free platform like opensolar, which allows you to play with the design to see what the effect of upgrades would be during the course of the year.

He clearly did not get the memo on who they were going to scapegoat when they failed to track down the shooter.

They have better idle efficiency, but if your PC is not on and idle 24/7 for some reason, AMD is more efficient.
