When the number one result in Google is a site answering my exact question with “did you try googling it first?” I have no incentive to interact with that site.

It was a lot easier to pretend to be a good person when every moral failure you make wasn’t broadcast around the world the moment it was discovered. Case and point, look into Bill Gates more. He wasn’t always a respectful guy, got caught up in the whole “filthy communists” schtick when the government was investigating his company, advocates for more restrictive control of aid distribution favoring manufacturers more than those he’s trying to help, conflicts of interest in his charity, opposing twitters ban of Trump after the insurrection, etc.
I love mine. I bought one as soon as they went on sale and it has completely replaced my gaming laptop when I travel. What I like most of all is that it makes it easy for me to play games in my backlog that I would not otherwise have plaid. I have almost 900 games in my library and it’s opened up my playtime in platformers, casual story games, puzzle games, racing, space sims, and more. The fact that I can do that on a plane or wherever on holiday is awesome. I have no doubt that there are games in my library it can’t play, but I’ve not actually tried to play a game on it that just didn’t work.
If you aren’t a gamer I don’t know how much value there is for you. If you want to become a gamer it’s a well balanced device with a solid store behind it and your library will be accessible by any PC you buy in the future. If you are considering it as a gift for a gamer, just keep in mind if they aren’t primarily a PC gamer (that is to say they play on a console) they will have to rebuy some games if they want to play on the deck.
As far as being a full laptop replacement, I wouldn’t bother.
Both ends of a USB cable are generally male (unless you’re talking about an extender). Generally the type B end (in mini, micro, or full configuration) would be the client though I have seen a couple of clients use Mini or Micro A.
Counterpoint.
I’m honestly kind of surprised there aren’t “torrent torrents.” Just distributing a collection of torrents that might be of interest within a given category, say “top 100 movies of 2024.” Once you have the list of torrents locally you are less reliant upon some website hosting them for you.

I have not. I’m mostly doing webdev on it and it works fine for that. I honestly don’t even need the dedicated GPU. If there’s something you’d like me to run lmk and I’ll see if I can find time for it. I’m running Debian stable on it and it’s the i7-12700H with an RTX A1000 and 32GB 4800MHz RAM version.
I got a Gen 5 - 21DDS70700 from Newegg shortly before the Gen 7 was released. I originally bought a refurbished higher end model from their outlet store but they sent the wrong model so I returned it. It is built and performs well and has a great screen and keyboard.
I’d love an AMD P1 as well. I just bought a P1 after looking at their offerings for a while and while I did look into their AMD offerings they just seemed to have intentionally neutered them.
Because schools cannot forcibly out students to their parents SpaceX is now incapable of working there? Seems like there’s something else going on.
That’s a contributing factor to battery life remaining stagnant. Manufacturers use those advances while continuing to slim phones rather than making an actually flat brick that uses those advances to drastically increase battery life. Regardless of the energy needs of the phone manufacturers can use the difference in height between the back of a phone and the camera bump to include more battery capacity and it will increase both the daily and usable life of the phone.
So let’s keep making phones thinner and thinner while simultaneously growing the camera bump instead of making a flat profile with, say, 2 days of life!
Why did you post a 3 year old expired draft whose proposed implementation has been obsoleted?
Deleting my grub config instead of editing it. Fortunately that’s pretty easy to recover from, just annoying.
F’ed up installing graphics driver and had to reset everything from another TTY, also just annoying.
Chose the wrong permissions or path on a chmod call and locked out a big party of the system. I think that was during a setup though, so I just started from scratch again.
I used Ubuntu until PAE became required and then switched to either Puppy or DSL (tried them both, honestly don’t remember which I stuck with). Eventually got a new computer and used Fedora and Arch (btw) for years. I’ve recently switched to Debian on a machine I just don’t wanna be arsed with worrying about breaking.
I’m using a Pixel 6 pro. It’s got some quirks, but overall it works for me.
Every time I’ve needed a new phone I’ve considered Samsung. But I just can’t buy into their extremely heavy modifications and have always opted for a clean android experience. Their hardware looks amazing and I want nothing more in a phone than a Samsung running stock.
A docx is just a renamed zip archive with the XML data. You should be able to unzip it and use a parser to access that info directly. There are likely tools to do this for any relevant language. You can also find the official spec online with some more info.
Unfortunately, I can’t get into much more detail than that as my company actively develops similar tools and I’ve worked on their document renderers not too long ago.
No clue on the odt stuff. I worked on the MS fidelity part.
Why do gaming routers have to look like space ships?
