Maybe you can

They probably have RAS syndrome

Finally! Someone said it! My company changed my work laptop to a Mac. It's been a couple of months, and I still haven't got used to the desktop environment. Navigating between open windows with regular mouse/keyboard is a pain.

I find window grouping very annoying (this is also true for Gnome). What makes it even worse, is that the tilde is next to the left shift, instead of being above Tab. I think that's because we have British keyboard.

No, we need massive data centers for LLMs and data analysis for targeted ads /s

There is no such thing as idiot-proof steps to tamper the registry. Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it's very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.

If you need a debloated experience, install LTSC.

Unless you run a custom ROM, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, you most probably have some Meta apps installed at system level.

This is Meta Services, as a system app which can only be disabled, on my work Samsung.

Last year I wasted 1.3 bln, by accidentally starting the construction of a dyson sphere

Your therapist can't even have a phone in the room?

I would prefer my psychological issues to not be turned into marketing campaigns. If you still don't understand what I am talking about, you should probably check the Privacy Policy of Google and Meta.

To save you some time: Google and Meta are monitoring the conversations using the device's microphone, to better understand what products you may be interested in. You have noticed, that ads are often related to the topics that you discuss face to face.

I had visited an ophthalmologist who used Apple Notes to keep track of his patients. He had no idea about the privacy implications of his choices.

However, my most nerve racking experience was talking to my therapist, while their stock Android was right next to them. Even when I mentioned my privacy concerns, they didn't bother to get rid of it.

I use private, because I am a tab hoarder

Sorry for your "| || || |_"

It was the last remaining exam before my deletion from university. I wish I could attend the lectures, but, due to work, it was impossible. Also, my degree is not fully related to my work field. I work as a software developer, and my degree is about electronics engineering. I just need a degree to get promoted.

What models have you tried? I used local Llama 3.1 to help me with university math.

It seemed capable of solving differential equations and doing LaPlace transform. It did some mistakes during the calculations, like a math professor in a hurry.

What I found best, was getting a solution from Llama, and validating each step using WolframAlpha.

I don't think they care about the budget. They probably care more about impressions and clicks. So, just use an adblocker, to lower their ad impressions.

Sure, in many cases the dev's computer is powerful enough to handle that.

However:

• The more the dependencies, the more likely it is to pull-off a supply chain attack. Any of those thousands modules can be compromised and infect either the user or the developer.
• Not all computers are optimized for working with so many tiny files. Have you ever worked in a company that uses McAfee Antivirus? Even Defender can be a massive performance hit in some cases.

I had read about it on another thread, which was about using old smartphones as servers (they used Termux).

Those old lithium batteries, although sometimes seemingly healthy, can catch fire any time. Having them connected to the charger 24/7 is only making matters worse.

I wouldn't trust the battery of old devices. I would probably buy a used UPS (without battery) and slap a new battery to it. This would cost more, but it would allow me to also connect other important devices to it - like the router and some lights.

I have a Wyse 5010. Be careful with your SSD plans. Mine had an mSATA SSD. Luckily, after removing the chassis of a SATA SSD, and only keeping the board, it could fit in there.

Don't such satellites have a major flaw, that they revolve? Considering that earth is spherical, those satellites can only monitor some half of the earth each moment, given their sensors have such high FOV.

I feel the importance of user privileges distinction, as I see it from a server perspective and organization managed devices. Some would argue the insignificance of this in the personal desktops.

However, I believe that the community structure of Linux is benefiting everyone. It is a general purpose kernel, that gets improvements from various different sectors. In the current space, where most servers run Linux and most desktops run Windows, desktops are not benefiting from filesystem or scheduling optimizations implemented for servers.
