I was reading Dune in the bath and the book fell in. I thought it was hilarious as I just got done the part where they were desperate for water. I provided enough water for the entire story. 😭
- Comment on Distro for upgrading a 15 year old Mac? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with the Ubuntu based suggestions but if you’re ok waiting towards the end of this month 26.04 LTS is about to come out. That should provide a better long term experience.
If it needs to be now the older 24.04 LTS version is fine.

- Comment on How come Dish Network or other satelite services. Do not allow you to create a playlist? Like if I record 5 different episodes of Sunday Morning why cant I just put it on play and it goes thru each? 2 weeks ago:
Oh I wasn’t suggesting it as a fix. Just saying what you’re describing was kinda possible in the 90s. Like others mentioned your provider may have a DVR solution capable of it, but I’ve never seen one. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

It was possible to setup your VCR to record at specific times. The fancy ones could even change the channel for it.

Could put the latest available OSX on it and sell it for $300. People buy old apple stuff like vintage clothes.

Looks like you’re referring to the laptop version of these parts.
The 1650 was a weird chip for an gone era. But I’d expect it to work, marginally less performance to the 1060.
If you have a thunderbolt port you could look into using an Intel b580 in an egpu case if shopping for another system is out of the question. (Bad market currently)

I understand that. It’s just that this entire argument doesn’t qualify. The OS has no out of spec influence over the modem due to its design. Its entirely self-contained component with its own firmware and driver stack. The OS is at the mercy of the modem’s firmware and that firmware prevents this exact scenario described.
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 1 month ago:
Steam makes OS unique modifications to the game, trying to share the same game drive between them causes an update war and corruption.
I’ve tried it a few times, never goes well long term. Generally, I partition the drive and only use windows for problematic games like pubg.
Also, if you enjoy workshop features in games with a native Linux version like Left4Dead 2 or Garry’s mod. I would recommend you force the windows version by selecting proton in the compatibility section under properties for that game. Some workshop mods don’t play nice on Linux and its like playing whack-a-mole solving it.

Something I want to tag on for anyone pondering this.
Steam on Linux will be unstable if you try to use your NTFS drive for games. As the support of the filesystem isn’t consistent.

That’s a bit of a huge stretch.
People can load custom operating systems on their computer all they want without turning their wifi and Bluetooth adapter into a two way software defined radio.

You got me curious, looks like it became a standard in 2021. Pretty old for a performance laptop but I’d imagine that it took awhile for the manufacturers to catch up. Thanks

That’s a goofy design choice.
The standard is capable of 240w

I remember downloads having 40+ rar files so you didn’t need to restart the entire download.

You’re probably interested in full stack and infrastructure.
Look for resources on how to securely manage a Linux server (ssh, hardening, backups, VPS management). How to securely work with Apache and NodeJS. ( Scaling, TLS configuration, data sanitization). (Just examples of tools feel free to explore your options)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has a great deal of freely accessible learning resources. Give this a look through.

If you’re not too concerned about value. Check around your community for estate sales. Wonder around them if you like the vibe as if you can hire them for your situation.
Generally they do a decent job organizing and protecting family photos and such.
- Comment on Not up to snuff on all the medical disection stuff. But can a 42 year old overweight heavy beer drinker donate his semi fatty liver? 2 months ago:
The medical protocol varies by region. Generally speaking, it’s considered a violation of their oath to knowingly transplant diseased organs or leave a patient with a diminished capacity to thrive. (Such as donating a lobe to a family member when you’re still alive.)
In the event of an emergency donation such as brain death. Special considerations will be taken, they may deem the liver to be suitable for transplantation after a battery of tests.
