rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

though laptops are notorious for proprietary charging.

I’ve seen dells that can charge via USBc at full 140w but only on a Dell dock. On any USB PD charger it will only do 60w, and complains about it as it throttles everything.

well yes, but it’s profitable because customers continue to buy their products and services.

the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet…and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies

as a newcomer i would just suggest getting a USB storage of some kind as they are cheap and the alternatives are not at all easy or obvious.

if you really want to do it without one, you could create a new fat32 partition and install freedos on it and dual boot to that and use that to run the bios updater-- assuming they have one for dos and not only a windows version, otherwise you’d need to do that but with an actual windows install. Modern windows doesn’t require a license so you could just get win10 or 11.

but the act of resizing your disks or trying to reconfigure your bootloader(and especially installing windows) are all things that can easily result in you breaking your Linux install, likely irrecoverably without even more in depth work. so really…only do this if you’re at least okay with the idea of reinstalling Linux and losing all of your data and spending a lot of time learning more than you might want to about how these things work.

so definitely easier to just get a cheap USB drive.

growing it like a garden is a perfect phrase imo

because on windows or Mac it may have just worked. …until it doesn’t, or leaves your windows scaled wrong or placed on monitors that don’t exist or some other failure condition. at which point you reboot and hope for the best.

when it doesn’t work on Linux I’d check logs, actual configuration, and even the source if I need to.and then I’d hopefully improve things and make it work the way I want it to.

unions are a harder sell in an industry like tech where it’s common to have a diverse skill set spanning work that could arguable each be it’s own union. does a full stack dev have to join the database admin union before they can write sql queries?

those diverse skill sets also make the individual value of workers fluctuate a lot more as well.

I still like the idea of unions but I just don’t know how you can make them work for tech;if anyone has any good resources on the subject I’d love to read more about it

it sounds like you understand the value of using water to clean your butthole after you poop… so why not spend the $30 on a bidet just in case you ever do have a poop and don’t want to shower? or hell just so you don’t use as much TP before hopping in the shower. or for anyone else using your toilet and not wanting to hop in the shower…

there’s also the impact of having less consistency in hours. i.e if I work Friday and don’t work Monday but am blocked waiting for someone whondoesnt work friday…it’s waiting until Tuesday.

would Americans even consider that taking down the internet? It wouldn’t impact a US client talking to a US server.

eh…kinda. the upside to manual USB updates is you get to intentionally apply them and can decide not to if an update makes things worse like removing features or adding more ads and tracking.

with automatic updates they can just silently update without your consent

even just knowing enough to not consider clothes ruined when a button pops out or a tear forms would be nice

…any tips on getting in? I tried checking the store page to see if any friends have it and none of mine do 🙁

If adopt systems then the question is easy to answer: no, journald does everything you need.

without adopting systemd… well. Are you evaluating going without any log handling at all and maybe just dumping logs ephemerally to tty0? DIYing all log stuff like your init scripts DIY things?

Personally if I had to go without journald I’d probably go back to using syslog-ng. But I guess there’s an argument for shipping straight into something like opentelemetry-collector if you’re willing to put in a lot of work.

Before launching products*

walled gardens are only a little less awful when still supported

it does feel ambiguous though as even what you outlined misses a 4th case. if null means delete, how do I update it to set the field to null?

I assume they meant check the wattage of the car charger output. some powerbanks have displays now and can show you it’s input or output.

… All phones also have displays and should show you the same thing but don’t.

that’s interesting because frankly I feel the opposite.vertical screen real estate is at a premium, it’s already common to have a horizontal taskbar and/or menubar eating into the desktop space, and then any browser UI like address bars eat into it more. Meanwhile most websites I visit are filled with whitespace on either side and always require scrolling down, often infinitely scrolling down, so the more vertical space the more you can fit on screen without scrolling.

To put it another way: I rarely full screen my browser because making it wider doesn’t help, but I usually have it filling the maximum vertical space. Granted I’m on an ultra wide making this problem worse, but even at work on a 16:9 I feel the same way

pc has already had this with Xbox game bar and the perf impact isnt really noticable. if I recall correctly modern gpus have some dedicated chips for video rendering that are otherwise idle. I would assume there is some hit to vram that could hurt if you’re limited on it, but for most people it should be fine.
