shooter and ceo were closer in class than the shooter and working class

Ah, good ol’ “anyone who makes enough money to pay rent is part of the capitalist class, not the working class”

I posted this elsewhere, but this is one of the few times I buy the conspiracy theory, not the official story.

Dude pulls off a targeted assassination, gets away clean, trolls the cops with a bag of monopoly money, gets out of the state, stays essentially hidden for almost a week… And then gets clocked by some poor maccas employee and gets taken in with a manifesto AND a gun on his person?

It’s the nazi flag and 3 copies of The Sims all over again, except this time the folks doing it are slightly more competent and actually pulled it off.

This case is so important, so high profile, that they just need to arrest someone ASAP. Anyone. And that person is not in for a good time.

It’s back up now!

I’ve been considering it tbh… And I know what my target audience would be even. I just don’t know if I want to actually go through with it + if I do, I have to buy Monero with it or something so I could launder it, then somehow explain to the tax authority that I’ve suddenly got a bunch of crypto I’m selling… Though the last part might not be too bad, as long as I do TELL them that I’m selling it and want to pay taxes on it.

No they don’t, they have tiny keyholes to look through

I know. But then you also need a screen. At which point why not have a device that can run a desktop OS?

I was almost gonna be a smartass and say you can, but then I realized that there are no nVidia drivers. You CAN use an AMD external GPU on newer Intel Macs, but even the newest Intel Mac is pretty old now. They still get software support, but the performance isn’t comparable to Apple Silicon anymore, so you’d have to sacrifice a lot of CPU power and efficiency to be able to use an eGPU that doesn’t even have CUDA.

Sometimes I wonder what’s going on with other peoples’ setups. Like where do all these issues come from?

I just plug in my external monitors, usually through the usb-c hub at work so both of them at the same time. But sometimes just a single one. Always gets detected. I’ve had Debian and now TumbleWeed on my work computer, neither gave me an issue with this.

There are other issues I’m having - such as I wish I didn’t have to open the lid for a second and then close it back when I’ve just connected the externals and want to use it in clamshell mode (as Apple calls it; idk if there’s a name for it outside of Mac/Apple). But all the expected functionality is there.

For the person who posted it, it could also be that the hardware IS supported, but it’s so obscure that no mainstream distro includes it in their kernel build, not even as a module.

Of course, for the average person, not having the kernel module built pretty much means it’s unsupported.

means people can use anything that runs Chrome.

Yeah, but a lot of work things are painfully uncomfortable to use on a phone (ERP and EMR software is so much easier to use with a keyboard, mouse and properly sized screen) and most companies aren’t going to be running Linux because of all the extra support load, nor are they going to yeet Macs at regular everyday users. Chromebooks don’t really get taken seriously in corporate environments IMO.

Similarly, home users who are old school and still want to have a computer - some will switch to Macs, power users will switch to Linux (and switch their family to Linux), but many will just use Windows. Some will use Chromebooks, but those have a bad rep because they used to always be the lowest spec possible (I think it’s gotten better now?)

And finally, gamers - personally I use Linux for gaming. Hell, I used Gentoo Linux for years. Yes, for gaming. But a lot of people, particularly younger folks, want to play games with invasive anti-cheat. And those don’t run on Linux.

I do believe that some companies look at certs for sysadmin roles. As a requirement not a boost and you’d likely need more than just Linux certs then. Probably also some Cisco and stuff.

LDS?

You don’t have to pirate it, you just download it off their website and don’t activate it. It’ll work, but you can’t change your desktop background.

It is if you don’t pay for a license but at this point I don’t even want to use it for free.

Most average users consider Microsoft a trusted source, that’s the root cause of a whole lot of crap.

I remember when I installed SP3 for XP… On my AMD machine.

Lack of trust in Microsoft started on that fateful day.

For those in particular, they had 2 and 4 TBT3 models.

That’s fair. This being the Fediverse, private messages aren’t private either, so protect yourself!

Now I wish you’d tell us what the company is so if I ever need anything in that industry, I’d know where to buy from.

Easiest is to just create an account with fake info. They don’t do any KYC for regular users AFAIK.

Yeah I’d much rather take that over any sexuality. It’s a much deeper insight into my personality than just “straight”.
