+1 for “The Good Place” bit

Alpha Centauri is actually 13.6 feet from me, Ive got an old sid meyrs disk somehwere in the box of old tech stuff. Great game, used the same engine as Civ 2, think its on GOG these days.

My head-cannon from the lawyers going something like this.

“Thank you Mr. Musk for the lawsuit, we had a lot of fun reading it. Especially the parts you drew (I liked the blue dinosauar). Before we begin, we would like to let you know the legal fees for this case are coming directly from the portion of the advertising budget we allocated to the website formerly known as Twitter”

Probably more entertaining than the actual cases.

Its an old meme sir, but it checks out.

Dito, fixing interesting problems is fun. My main issue is that we have had a caroucel of bosses (4 in the last 4 years) and the current one gets a C-. Half the team does not trust them due to drama with the previous manager and the they keep trying to make it so the different team members specialize in different tasks (everyone used to be trained to do everything). I like the job and the company, but its one or two step removed from “Office Space” levels of corpo whohash.

Eccentric midwestern home owner has strong opinions about home designs, news at 11. I love his channel, did you see his trilogy about oil lamps?

There are plenty of nerds here on Lemmy to help, but some advice first.

• What is the system intended for? (Gaming, CAD, editing, programming, Facebook machine?) This isnt just so we can advise better, but also to get you to state what you need this tool for. Its a tool at the end of the day.

• Will it need to be moved? This is where your going to have to weigh the factors in your life, because if you need to move the device, a laptop may be a better, but the entire device is not moduler (usually, Framework laptops and a few other manufacturers like to do stuff like that).

• Lastly, care to share what you planned/built? There are plenty of nerds on Lemmy who would love discussing stuff like that. (Shameless plug, one of those nerds is me)

For W10 you can still do offline installs with the media creation tool and telling it you dont have an internet connection, for W11 even enterprise users are all tied into autopilot, Intune MDM, and/or a microsoft account. I do not believe there is a method to install W11 without an internet connection and account. If there some some way to get the install tools to do that, I dont know what it is, and I do IT for a job…

Honestly, making the switch to linux full time is not that bad. Every tool, utility and program other than the most niche propriatary applications have a FOSS variant, and it is starting to sound like a bad relationship when people wait for MS to make a policy, change or product that isnt comedicly evil…

Just break up… If you need to talk at the hivemind of the internet for advice, we got ya.

Google just released their rushed AI integration and its a hillarious and dangerous train wreck. They trained it off data from Reddit among other places and the internet clearly did not send their best amd brightest.

Sony has made the public very aware that they are not a video game publisher to be trusted over the Helldivers 2 issue a few months ago, thats an entire rabbit hole to dig into.

Lots of high profile court cases, most importantly tacos are now legally a sandwich.

Idiocracy is the most unrealistic sci-fi/apocolyptic film ever made. President Comacho finds the most qualified person to help with a crisis, asks them for advice and then doesnt take credit for it. Noone put in a position of power would ever do that.

Come on over, the water is fine. I switched to Pop_OS a few months back for the gaming rig and Proton+Steam works almost flawlessly. Older titles sometimes have hiccups, but so far ive only been blocked on one title.

Not worried about that, I self-host everything, its that Google domains were cheap, quiet, and handled the routing I needed, now… I dont know what to expect.

MS being sued for packaging something with windows? Haven’t we seen this before?

I dont know how to feel about this…

My domain got transfered to them from Google domains shutting down and now its being brought under a private equity umbrella… Something fucky.

This is my expirence with LLMs, I have gotten it to write me code that can at best be used as a scaffold. I personally do not find much use for them as you functionally have to proofread everything they do. All it does change the work load from a creative process to a review process.

You used the right tool for the job, saved you from hours of work. General AI is still a very long ways off and people expecting the current models to behave like one are foolish.

Are they useless? For writing code, no. Most other tasks yes, or worse as they will be confiently wrong about what you ask them.

12345? Thats amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!

Thats fair, I was worried about my discontinued corsiar stuff but was suprised to find that the support was even better than the old driver and managment app I had on my old OS.

I made the switch from W10 to Pop_OS for my gaming rig about 2 months ago. Beyond some hiccups with the experimental branch of proton and just getting used to the new UI its been great. Come on in, they water is fine.

Oh, that one was a blast! I need to get my nerd herd to revisit it… Although all we did was play liars dice while the ship was on fire.
