My mistake. The concept of “doing taxes” is usually US-specific, I don’t really hear about that kind of thing from users in other, more civilized countries.

Genuinely curious though… Why use a VM for taxes?

Thanks for the new rabbit hole 😂

You do your taxes on a VM? FreetaxUSA works just fine on Linux.

I mean, I pirated the Windows 10 installation on my gaming PC. Massgrave scripts helped out though, so there’s that.

That said, I’m wiping Windows soon and installing LMDE. It’s the last Windows PC in my house (minus W11 work laptop - that doesn’t count though).

I rooted my 65" LG TV, and put a pi-hole in front of it.

We have a couple Apple TVs. As much as I dislike the walled garden, they are very good for what they are.

I’m reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy’s ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the “we need to hear both sides” card.

Really drove the point home. Heh.

Also, I can’t find that comic anywhere. I don’t remember where I saw it, either.

I’ve been daily-driving Linux Mint (LMDE 6) on my Thinkpad T14 G1 for almost a year now. At this point, that laptop is easily the most dependable machine I’ve ever had. My gaming PC is the last remaining Windows machine in my house. Recently I’ve been making sure everything is backed up (Syncthing is great for this) and finding alternatives for programs that don’t have a Linux version.

My plan is to create images of both my SSDs (500GB & 2TB, both NTFS 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️) onto a 4TB hard drive. Then start from scratch, migrating data from the images (Steam games, config files, personal documents I may have missed, etc) when/if I need it.

…it looks like pretty much every other 75% tkl out there ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t doubt that Logitech would be “borrowing” designs, but this sounds like a bit of a stretch

The hypocrisy is that if an average person did something like this (such as, IDK, Aaron Schwartz) they would have already been swiftly prosecuted and made out to be an example of “look what will happen to you”.

It’s just the two-tiered justice system being what it is, again.

“CRUD”, “Sham” coin, and yesterday’s date…

🤨

It’s the hypocrisy, not the law

from smaller tech companies

Like what?

Their mice are great, until they need a subscription, for some reason…

Glue is commonly used in vehicle manufacturing to bond panels together. It’s typically stronger than welding, and is often used in the vehicle’s structural pieces as well.

The problem with the Cyberdumpster is that they used shitty glue.

Yeah, but that means they don’t get your money anymore! Think of the profits shareholders children!

laughs in CUPS server

I believe it, but the Core architecture was a pretty significant upgrade from Netburst. Pentium 4 CPUs were really good at converting electricity to heat 😅

Microsoft’s requirements for Windows 11 include a 1GHz or faster CPU with at least two cores, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage,

All of this is no problem and essentially any computer manufactured in the last couple decades can meet these requirements. They’re effectively irrelevant for this discussion.

IDK about you, but the Pentium 4 is not an ideal CPU for modern workloads. The absolute oldest hardware I would use today for anything is the Core2Duo with 8GB RAM. I know this because we have an A1276 MacBook Pro with the P8600 C2D, and it’s barely sufficient. You look at it and the cooling fan begins a launch sequence 😅 and that’s running Linux Mint. Windows 10/11 would grind it to a halt trying to run multiple tasks.

I have a Steam Deck dock specifically for this. Except the mouse comes up on the phone screen instead of the monitor. Weird bug.
