I got a minisforum v3 and it’s amazing. I can actually game on it and use it as a real productivity device. KDE tablet mode works fairly well.

I’m not impressed with the performance of Intel these days not when you can get full Ryzen CPUs with decent graphics in a “tablet”.

I’m trying not to

If you force Ads then I will replace your equipment. The only reason I use Roku is to avoid the Ads built into “smart TVs”

Really because it happened to me until I was able to force a software roll back which required obtaining their closed proprietary service software.

Also because we dont have the construction experience of building FAB’s, and we have different building regulation and standards.

25% tariffs on steel also wont make it any cheaper.

I have a minisforum V3 and have been running KDE on it and its ok, I still cant get rotation working and yeah the lack of an onscreen keyboard is a real problem. But otherwise its more than usable.

Depends on the application. I run a nightly backup of a few VM’s because realistically they dont change much. I have containers on the other hand that run critical (to me) systems like my photo backup and they are backed up twice a day.

Yeah, that part pisses me off to no end. If they lock up even one Citizen in gitmo…

I am, there saved them the trouble.

Come screw with my first constitutional rite, and my iron clad citizenship.

More so when these plants take 10 years to build. They will pass along the cost and just wait him out.

because I can KVM from one computer to another in under 1 second and I dont feel like adding 14 to that. Plus Folding@Home.

Dont shit where you eat Elon. Its your own turd sandwich so yeah…

Used UPS’s show up from time to time. I recently found a craigslist posting with 6 all of which were in decent shape needing some cleaning, and new batteries.

Batteries are the rub since they only last about 5 years so most used ones need new batteries. Good news is its not that hard to replace them as long as you take your time and pay attention.

BS I can totally hold my attention longer th

Ubiquity is trash with fickle support based on the whims of what sells wide adoption. TP Link IMO is a decent value for the money if you want easy “prosumer” level networking gear. I have I have 3 TP Link APs as well as a 16 port 10g core switch and its great for my needs.

Mikrotik offers more features per $$ but its not as easy to use.

Missing the potato.

Bring on the boring! Its what lets me daily Linux as a real alternative to windows. I love that my system gets constant updates, I get to pick when they install, it goes out of its way to NOT overwrite my preferences and settings, it maintains the look and feel I set it to, and it stays stable.

100%, it’s the lack of the X3D parts. Zen 5 on its own is compelling but not for gamers and DIY, would I buy it in a pre-built desktop or a business machine, Yes I would all day long. But if I’m gaming and there’s no X3D part why would I get anything else other than a 7800 X3D. AMD really shot themselves in the foot and what’s worse is we warned them it was coming yet they chose not to listen.

My kids, who began using Linux at home and then Chrome OS since the ages of 5 ,would suggest that it’s only older users who are completely stuck in their ways and can’t adapt to different operating systems.

How dare you make such a direct and personal attack on me!
