Yeah this. I dunno what the fuss is about. Its just missing on github is all.

Literally missed the point my comment.

“quantative easing”

Literally printing money

We have backyard chickens. The huge one was a double yoker and delicious 😋

Oh okay. We shall continue to wait then :)

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

My wife and I were looking forward to this. We played the original together a bunch of times.

Oh well, thanks for sharing, will go look for something else. Damn.

But the vast majority of viruses focus on end users.

If the trend continues then maybe the hacker community will start focusing on Linux. Can you imagine “I don’t need a virus scanner, I use Windows, the under dog OS”

I’ve had this problem for a little while now. Every image I try and download will cause boost to crash. Tried clearing cache, no luck 😔

I do

I’ve been a Linux sysadmin for decades and Windows for the year 8 years or so. I started using Windows with an air of contempt, and still do. I hate myself for saying this, but Powershell is better than bash. Bash is very limited if you consider only bash. For bash to be useful you need the entire GNU suite with grep, cut, awk etc.

I don’t think this technology is intended to be used for global internet. But for giving access to a remote town, this is many magnitudes lesser in cost than a satellite.

A brief internet search tells me that a Starlink satellite is ~$1 million apiece, and lasts 5 years. With the additional cost of the launch the annual cost is ~$300,000 per year per satellite. You can work out the cost for 10 masts and tell me that its much cheaper.

From a consumer perspective, Starlink is amazing. Fast, relatively cheap, available anywhere. From a labour and material cost, its incredibly expensive. If a town can be serviced by cable, wireless, this new laser or whatever then the economical and environmental impact (in terms of materials) are a fraction.

Whilst masts will face the same prejudice as windmills for destroying landscapes, Starlink has already been causing issues with stargazing and night sky pollution. And this is only the first commercial venture for low-orbit internet. I can imagine there shall eventually be multiple of these setups, each with thousands of satellites (Starlink is at 7k+ now I think) which will only exacerbate the issues.

The point being, that having other technologies with overlapping abilities isn’t a bad thing. Choice is good.

Hang on that’s not a fair comparison. So you will need to deploy some masts to reach remote areas, got it.

Satellite internet then needs to fire a satellite into space to cover the area of which now there are thousands of then And the satellite has a shelf life and will eventually burn up in the atmosphere requiring repeated deployments.

Masts sounds easier.

I find this to be a very cultural thing as to whether it’s acceptable or not. Where I live cats roam the streets, if an American visited here they would be horrified.

What CPU?

The list of unsupported CPUs is for OEMs licensing new computers as Windows 11 certified.

Nothing stopping you installing Windows 11 or upgrading to Windows 11 with an incompatible CPU.

The only item that requires a hack is the lack of TPM. Now that I still don’t understand.

Also, Office by default installs with licensing configured per machine but can be installed so it is licensed per user.

They should get fined for being ambiguous and be forced to call it what it is.

Seeing steam at the top makes me question the list. Likely a hate of DRM rather than privacy

Thank you for this insight. I’ll be more aware if this in the future.

I’ve never really understood the whole ADHD thing. They never spoke about it when I was a kid, and I’m skeptical about it now. Probably me just being an old codger.

But something that happens all the damn time is during my driving. I listen to an audiobook for any journey but I end up relistening to the same part constantly rewinding because I get distracted either just in my own thoughts or to what is happening around me. And this meme depicts exactly that. Interesting.
