This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

They had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It’s not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

Pause? Not Canceled?

What serious coder is happy with one monitor?

This flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.

This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.

Not free, but I have been using Insync for years and it works well. $30 one time cost, but worth it.

accounts of a subsidiary of one of the world’s largest e-commerce entities.

How to say AWS without saying AWS.

It must be great to live in a place that has so few real problems that the town can waste time with bullshit culture war distractions.

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t

You don’t need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

Also, there’s no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won’t matter.

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

One of the hurdles to ARM is that you need to recompile and maintain a separate version of every piece of software for the different processors.

This is a much easier task for a tightly controlled ecosystem like Mac than the tons of different suppliers Windows ecosystem. You can do some sort of emulation to run non-native stuff, but at the cost of the optimization that you were hoping to gain.

Another OS variation also adds a big cost/burden to enterprise customers where they need to manage patches, security, etc.

I would expect to see more inroads in non-corporate areas following Apple success, but not any sort of explosion.

The Clippy Key.

I have had various sticks and Roku highest end models and then got the latest ATV with hard wire port that adds Dolby vision and high frame rate HDR. I have a 2022 high-end TV.

The video quality is noticeably better. Not sure of older ATV, but this is clearly better than the top end Roku. Also, I’m not sure if it is the same on older tvs

The other thing is that you want to hard wire if at all possible. Even the best wifi can’t touch the reliability of a wire

Does the group have any archive, mailing lists, ticket system, etc, where they work on and document the work that they have been doing?

Past questions and answers will tell you common issues, solutions, should point you towards the areas where you need to focus.
