Say thanks

  • Backe (cheek) can be used both for the cheek in the face and the butt. But I guess you could say Arschbackpfeife? Arschbackpfeifengesicht? I'm not sure, need some inspiration from fellow Germans.

  • Say thanks

  • Pretty close, although Backpfeife has nothing to do with the back of your hand (five?), if that was your association. It also kind of fits, though. And what you associate with "shit" is German for "face" :D

    Backpfeife would literally translate to "cheek whistle", because that's our favorite instrument to play when encountering a couch molester.

  • Reading through the comments here, the Linux community slowly seems move away from "runs on about every piece of hardware you can think of" to "if you don't have at least the Nimbus 2000 that's on you, sucker!"

  • That was not meant to be a brag, just to show that this is not a beginner's problem and that I can compare the change over time a bit. Linux still suffers from hardware support issues. Linux also supports a range of (older) hardware much better than others, but let's not pretend this is solved.

    Good for you that the things you happen to have bought work for you, but that's just anecdotal evidence.

  • Well, to add my personal experience to yours, I've personally bought an off-the-shelf laptop "optimized for Linux" (from Tuxedo, to be clear). That should work just fine, shouldn't it? As it turns out, energy management does not, which is kind of essential, at least with a standard Linux installation that is not their own Ubuntu-based distribution or standard Ubuntu. They provide a management tool, but you need to build it yourself and the process is not documented properly. You'll need some experience and be able to interpret error messages in a terminal to find out where the issue is. Setting it up to start automatically on the next boot is another hurdle. I think that's not very nice, especially with this "optimized for Linux" claim. that might target newcomers in particular who try to avoid such issues.

    The tool also requires a lot of additional node.js bloat, just to get your fans work properly and your laptop not to overheat. Sleep/hibernation also does not work properly outside their own OS/Ubuntu, and their advanced management tool with additional features does not work at all outside of Ubuntu/their derivate.

    I've been there in the early 2000s, fighting with my network and graphics cards and I know it all got much better. Especially now that Nvidia support seems to finally become better. But let's not pretend issues don't exist?

    How much stuff do you carry around daily just to cope with weather, other people, hygiene etc.?

    I got annoyed recently when I wanted to leave the house and noticed my bag was half full just with stuff to deal with weather. In Tokyo, I usually carry an umbrella with me, maybe sunscreen, sunglasses, a mini towel etc. Others have fans, "neck fans" (not sure how they are called). Maybe a water bottle also counts.

    All of this is "weather stuff" for me. I asked a friend what she carries around, and we started to think about some other categories as well. So I wondered how much of the stuff we carry around is actually about the thing we want to do wherever we go, and how much is just to cope with the environment? Also, I would be curious how this looks like in other places around the world. Things probably vary by gender, age, season as well.

    Some categories are:

    • weather stuff
    • personal hygiene stuff
    • safety stuff
    • not being annoyed by others stuff
    • infrastructure fail stuff (e.g., preparing for when trains get delayed)

    Would you rather be stuck in the woods with an updated Windows 11 or a Windows 7?

    What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it?

    I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

    One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

    Was music really better "back in the days"?

    Tell me all the trash music/artists you know from around the 50s to 70s.

    Google Glass had a better see-through solution than the Apple Vision Pro

    Whatever use cases they try to push for social settings, I think Google Glass was still the better solution. Nobody uses their Vision Pro outside, and it's way too expensive as just another VR headset to use at home.

    Getting into the UEFI menu

    My dearest,

    I just got myself a lil' HP Elitedesk 800 G2 mini and am all set to run my home server on there. But I have troubles entering the UEFI menu. I don't know what they did with Windows 10, but I can't get there the usual way (i.e., hitting random f-buttons or esc during startup). I checked out the online Windows support and found this link with options to access the UEFI menu from within Windows:

    https://www.isunshare.com/windows-password/four-methods-to-access-uefi-bios-setup.html

    However, even when the computer is supposed to reboot into UEFI, it always sends me back to the normal login screen. By now, I ran out of ideas what to try.

    Did anyone experience similar problems?

    Edit: Got it working with different keyboard/display combination. The reboot from within Windows thing still didn't work, but starting from powered off and hitting f10 a few times did it this time. I think the main problem was with my displayport to HDMI converter at home, which apparently caused some

    Where are the Vision Pro memes of "for 3500$ you could also buy..."? Thanks

    Back in my days, we had tons of memes for the mac pro. They went like:

    You could buy a Mac Pro with these specs (...) or you could buy:

    • another computer with better specs
    • a house
    • Russia
    • a Cybertruck
    • and green_day.mp3

    ... and still pay less.

    I was quite nervous about going to the gym at first, but actually it was quite an uplifting experience!

    Jesus once participated in a long distance race and came in second. Behind the goal line, he approached a bystander and asked when the other guy had arrived. The bystander said...

    ... about a few minutes BC.

    As a side business, I sell cakes out of the trunk of my car.

    Banana bread is 1,50$ a piece, cheese cake 2,50$, and an apple crumble is 2,70$. Those are the pie rates of the car I be in.
