Honestly, I would back up all of your downloads, documents, pictures, videos, browser history/passwords/bookmarks, and anything else you want to save to an external drive or to The Cloud (or multiple, e.g., most/all browsers have a sync function, and OneDrive/Google Drive/Dropbox, etc.), and then download and test drive multiple different distros until you find one that you like and has good community support. Nearly all distros today will let you test it out without installing (kind of a try before you buy). Once you find one, install it while wiping the Windows install, then load your graphics drivers and Steam. Steam will handle the rest as far as running your games (some caveats apply, i.e., some multiplayer games will not work because the developers are assholes).
I always called that a soft brick when it could still power on, but couldn’t load the main operating system, but it could receive a reinstall of the system.
Hard brick was the one where it was permanently disabled either from not able to power on or was incapable of reloading the main OS without essentially “brain surgery” of the device.
I guess brick could extend to broken components until a reboot (such as a broke WiFi driver or such). What type of “brick” would it be? How about glitch brick?
They are likely referring to the training process of populating model weights based on prepared datasets via training algorithms.
They’ll wheel him to the autopen at that point if he’s not already employing it considering how he projected onto Biden for the autopen usage.
Isn’t the context of that quote around the kernel and kernel space vs user space? I don’t see how that thought really extends to distros that simply implement the kernel as one of their packages.
Have there been any studies showing if that is due to biological/hormonal differences or just societal norms?
Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.
I’d argue it’s one of their core beliefs. Almost a requirement to be a MAGA is to be a hypocrite.
Why have one device or why desktop mode?
One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.
Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.
I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.
I completely agree. Reread what I wrote with that in mind, keeping in mind the context of the comment I replied to.
