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!

Second this, whatever you pick never let someone else “own” your data because then they own your company. If you cant export data freely so it can be imported into another system, then its not yours.

I enjoyed the read, and it leaves some interesting questions for further research as well as asks some interesting questions about the future. Ideally ActivityPub will grow to a point where big tech cant own it but we will see. For now I will enjoy my slice of the free good old web, with the rest of my fellow neckbeards and greybeards.

If you admin your own instance then you can control any IP Fingerprinting related to your use.

Narrow the scope: I can only improve or change things that are MY responsibility. I do not need to take on anyone elses, if their project/job/life/relationship fails that is on them.

Things that are not in my control, I do not try to. I cant make other people happy, I can make myself happy.

A good therapist using evidence based techniques.

solution sales, be it in IT, AV, Security, office equipment… Generally you work with different clients, in different parts of an industry or multiple industries. All have similar needs but various differences in applications that requires jumping into their work understanding why they need some things in special ways, and then jumping back out to move on to the next project.

Its lets you leverage your hyper-focus and quick study skills, but wont require you to master an particular thing. Its also often not a direct sales job, but a 1/2 tech 1/2 sales job where you support a traditional sales organization but are expected to be a technical jack of all things within your company/role/industry/product line.

The enshitification will continue until all value is extracted.

consumer crap is just that crap.

I like small PC’s as PFsense/Opnsense routers and then a POE switch and access points. It always works better than any mesh or consumer stuff.

That looks like the closest successor to the pebble I think I’ve ever seen.

I may need to order one and test it out.

if it existed I would be using it. Garmin is the next closest not total crap “smart” watch.

Old Pebble if you can find a working one that someone will part with.

Ubuntu server, it’s a bit more modern than Debian and has a massive install base which means someone has had your problem and fixed it before and documented it.

Honestly yes! I made a strong bold statement its only fair to ask for references.

So here are a few general video’s along with a few interesting papers regarding storing HLW as/in glass-ceramics. The academic research and discussion of this immobilization methods is very robust so lots of stuff you can read on that subject.

BUT we dont have to store Fission HLW if we reprocess it and run it in conjunction with other reactor types like LIFTR. Much of the remaining waste produced in currently operating reactors is still mostly unused and at most 5-10% of the total material is used up. We can pass that through a breeder reactor and convert U238 to P239 which turns “useless” naturally occurring non fissile uranium into fissile plutonium.

So, my point is that assuming we keep using low enrichment uranium to power current BWR/PWR reactors we have an existing solution for the waste (which if ALL of the worlds HLW was combined would not even fill a professional stadium) that easily takes care of all the waste created since we started production.

BUT all that waste is actually fuel if we recycle/reprocess it and we can burn up another large percentage of that waste and its remaining elements are generally shorter lived forms of waste.

That is simply not true, storage is a solved problem, and the reason for not having locations is a political problem. NIMBY (Not in my back yard) keeps the world from having permanent storage locations, not science.

You forgot all the heavy metals too! Lots of brutal heavy metals in coal emissions and waste, which we dont get even in low level fission waste.

o sure, I could walk over and put in my admin password and do it all in the GUI. I cant think of any basic things that require terminal with modern DE’s like KDE. I just use terminal for remote management because its simpler than trying to work at their desks.
