Unfortunately these install instructions also look complicated.

If you read the instructions, it’s literally just downloading the binary, and using balenaEtcher to flash it onto the SD card.

That’s the thing. People genuinely were upset they “got political”, completely missing the machine they were raging against…

My, neat!

That was Einstein’s answer to the Russian nukes.

Oh no, no way. I’m not clicking that.
I’m having a bad enough day, I don’t want to add existential crisis to the list.

Paywall starts around the 3rd paragraph. Answer to the question was the very first sentence, right below the title. In large font.

Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.

System and all the “important” apps that I expect to use during the day - dialer, chat, email, maps, browsers - follow the automatic schedule.

Everything else are on perpetual dark mode. Especially the Lemmy clients. Helps me to touch grass when I’m in the sun, instead of doomscrolling…

Last time I installed multiple DEs, it was as easy as installing them and picking which one I’d like to use from the login manager.

Granted, this was a decade ago. I can’t imagine it would be any harder these days.

Not as much of a gimme

Huh. I’m not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, “wasn’t she in The Good Place?”

I feel so vindicated right now.

Put them on a tray, spray with olive oil, sprinkle some salt, bake in oven. Spinach chips! Mmmmm

No. This does not need a 13-minute video.

• Don’t plug in ethernet if you’re using one.
• At the wifi setup stage press shift-F10
• Type oobe\bypassnro
• Reboot. Proceed as normal.

There, saved you 13 minutes

It’s mostly a game of chance.

Grossly oversimplified: Say you have black eyes, but carry a blue-eye gene (which doesn’t show because black is dominant). There’s a very good chance your sibling carries the same gene. If the two of you have a child together, there’s a higher chance that the kid will carry double blue genes and has blue eyes.

Had you had the kid with another black eyed person that’s not a sibling, there’s a higher chance that they may carry different genres (black, grey, brown, green eyes). So much lower chance of having a blue-eyed kid.

Imagine the same but with all sorts of physical and mental defects. They may not show in you, but if you carry the genes, there’s a good chance your sibling does too. Hence the higher chance of it showing up in your kids.

Even if the trait doesn’t show in your kids, over generations of inbreeding practice (common in old royal families) the bad genes would be so concentrated in the pool that so many defects will start showing up.

In a large multinational company with very opinionated teams using either Creo, Solidworks, or Autodesk. Whenever we have a collab project between teams, hilarity ensues. Their export/import capabilities could not be any worse. I try to stay away from the mechanical department during those times.

No doubt, indeed. Just pointing out 400 is not unreasonable for xfce.

My xubuntu is at 380MB idling on the desktop. Also, thanks for making me check. I should probably disable snapd.

There’s many aspects of Solidworks that are CPU-bound. Worse, they’re only utilising a single core. It’s ridiculous for 2024.

Desktop vs laptop doesn’t matter much for any given CAD software. Just make sure you hit the recommended specs.

There’s truth in this, but also caveats. I work with a bunch of mechanical engineers. In the warmer months, while working on really complex drawings, they need to take frequent breaks.

It’s because laptops are designed to be compact, by sacrificing airflow. So when they run anything heavy, the CPU would heat up and start throttling itself.

On a desktop, easily solved by slapping on a semi-decent cheap cooler. On laptops, well, you take frequent breaks.
