They also sell laptops and desktops, mostly workstation-class, with Linux preinstalled. I’ve always had great results with fwupd on Lenovo laptops, great to see them sponsoring something useful.

Oversized, somewhere in that space between comically and frighteningly.

Digital “ownership” is temporary. Piracy is as permanent as the end-user wants it to be. I prefer the latter.

Heavy metal is good for you. Gets you moving and can be cathartic. I prefer stoner, doom, or deathcore myself though. Load my body up with those types of metal.

He is. This can only be a good thing.

I haven’t used Windows in a couple years, but is Windows Sandbox still a thing? It was supposed to create a temporary, lightweight Windows VM specifically for testing untrusted software and such.

Occasionally it’s cheaper to buy a second Lenovo laptop on eBay than it is to buy a replacement part…also from eBay. Found this out with mine recently: mainboard was bad, equivalent board was $500, identical laptop with damaged chassis was $300. Bought the second laptop and swapped the mainboard into the good chassis, but now I also have spare a WiFi card, DIMM, keyboard, touchpad, battery, and screen. I’d call that a win.

Jensen Huang loves vibe coding. The people who use his company’s products don’t love using the results of said vibe coding. It was as true this time last year as it is today. But line go up so who gives a shit, right? I’ll just stick with 580.126.18.

Could it be a CPU/iGPU too new for the kernel LMDE is running? I haven’t used LMDE in a while, so I imagine that if it’s still based on bookworm the in-kernel drivers could be too old. If it’s trixie-based that probably isn’t the problem though.

What are the machine’s specs? I had a similar issue on a Ryzen 5 3500U laptop before, but more recent kernels (6.8+) don’t exhibit that behavior.

I’ll echo this, minus the Skyrim part because it’s been years since I touched it. Also, I’m on Debian, not Ubuntu. BGIII, Cyberpunk, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Satisfactory, Doom 2016/Eternal, Diablo III when I’m in a particularly self-loathing mood…anything I throw at it, it’s handled. Haven’t played a single game on Windows in at least 3 years.

Also runs DaVinci Resolve Studio like a beast. That includes peripherals like the Speed Editor and Micro Color Panel, as well as the Blackmagic Intensity 4k capture card in a Thunderbolt enclosure. For my use case, there’s nothing Windows does that Debian can’t, apart from the whole “I paid like $200 for a license for this OS so the can serve me ads and spy on me all the time” thing.

User of culture, I see…32” 4k in the middle, 27” vertical 1440p on either side for me.

Could be part of an ISMS framework for ISO 27001, too. Just went through the latest round of audits at my workplace, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 being the most recent. Think I aged 15 years this time around.

Smalltalk flashbacks…

Fellow dad who makes said noises here. Debian is my primary OS, and it’s just the way I like it.

Yeah btrfs maintainers still recommend against RAID5/6. You can sort of get around that by doing it via lvm and formatting that with btrfs, but I’d rather do it with native file system support. Fewer moving parts, as it were.

My own decision tree for these sorts of things is simple: are all the drives in the array the same? If so, zfs; if not, btrfs. Energy efficiency would come into play for spinning rust or arrays of sufficient size, but the “identical or not” question has served me well for years.

I’ve used swappa before, had good luck with them and would definitely recommend. OP should also check out backmarket.com as they have a dedicated section for Pixels.

Big one appears to have eaten something that disagrees with her stomach, small one’s just as attention-seeking as always.

I got mine in the back of a Fry’s, it was refurbished. Still using it regularly, works just as well as it did out of the box.

Do the JBL ones not come with an aux jack anymore? My JBL Charge 3 from early 2017 has one, as does the JBL PartyBox On-The-Go I picked up dirt cheap last year.
