my 5680 has absolutely nothing. Checking online I found that the right one is a usb-c 3.2 and the 2 left ones are TB4. IIRC they all support DisplayPort and all support being used as the power input (165W charger), not sure for PD and fast charging a cell/tablet…

True, my latest Dell laptop has 3 “usb-c shaped ports”, there is 0 symbol anywhere close to them or the underside cover, you’re on your own as to what it supports, you have to find the doc online somewhere I guess.

Yes, I’m using QEMU though, no VMware or VirtualBox .

MX Linux (debian based) works perfectly on a usb drive

Well, less and less people post stuff like their vacation pic or food pic etc. Then more and more companies pay to be in your feed, so now your feed is only non-sense stuff like yours, or mine, it does not make sense, I often see posts from stuff not in my country or sometimes not in my language.

I only use FB for Marketplace (really big here), and for some FB hobby groups that replace good old forums. I never publish anything, and only one of my friend still post pictures of their journey, that’s it.

In Canada it is way worst, because every sources deemed news media cannot post/share articles, imagine in the USA if your feed had no news like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, npr, nyt, etc. but in your feed you see all the alternatives news (read: far-right, conspiracy, pro-russian, pro-musk, anti-ev, etc).

This is our reality in Canada, our facebook feed looks like twitter, full of hate and fake news. I always block them, but there are certainly thousands and thousands of bots posting those kind of thing.

FB is dead.

Yup, the green dot top right

Wtf? My company just gave me a Dell laptop, i7 13800H, 32GB ram, 1tb nvme, etc

Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺

Yeah about the same, I visited /., anadtech, tom’s, betanews, etc about daily maybe 20 years ago, but I haven’t been to those in a decade for sure, except slashdot I still go there

I don’t game so I’m using Xfce only, I love it

MX Linux is a great distro

or better, MX 23 :)

I’m using MX, but yeah, it’s Debian… I’m also an 53yo old coot

volume encrypted with veracrypt, it asks for a password to be mounted

I’m using a Dell 4K monitor at 60Hz and in my X log I can see VRR is on and enabled. Is this useless then?

Afaik VRR works on my AMD 5600H plugged via HDMI…

It’s good, for privacy and all of course, but I remember here a Dell BIOS upgrade that basically wiped the TPM2.0 and so windows was asking for the recovery bitlocker key at boot. I have them on a encrypted USB key and anyway I can access my MS account from another device to find the key and type it.

But I’m sure a lot of people will basically say “well, fuck, I don’t have the key”, guaranteed.

Pretty sure ATM runs on super old stuff like OS/2 or Windows XP or Windows CE ?

Btrfs may have compression on by default so take it with a grain of salt

I’m a programmer since the 80s, who is this guy?
