My uni used Ubuntu in the CompE computer labs; unfortunately all other labs were windows. But the introduction to Linux was certainly nice!

Oh, of course. There are negatives to everything for sure. But I think as a whole it’s made life better in a lot of different ways.

My grandfather lives in the south, and for a number of years after Tesla became a big name, he genuinely thought it was “Tesler” because that’s just how everyone he knew was pronouncing it

It reminds me of the time someone dropped a camera on a skull in the ATM cave in Belize. https://www.7newsbelize.com/sstory.php?nid=22514 People are stupid…

(And for the record, the skull was not fixed when I visited the cave in ~2014, despite what the article said. Hopefully they fixed it after that).

That’s incredible

That’s depressing god damn

As someone that works at a storage devices company - we do still manufacture 10K HDDs. They are faster than the 7200s of the same spec, by nature. All 2.5” drives for enterprise systems. And will actually continue selling them until ~2030. That said, they’re all but obsolete at this point, and aren’t really being developed on any more.

Every 20 years? Could probably remake it every six months with how fast memes tend to cycle, lol

Sue-dough & s-s-h here. Can’t speak to zsh yet, haven’t actually talked about it w/ others yet. How about /etc/? Sometimes I call it “e-t-c” but others I say “etsee”

I’ve had it on my daily driver for 6 or 7 years now and it makes me smile every time I see it even still. Reminds me of my childhood :)

DDR4 and DDR5 physically cannot fit into the same slot as one another. So if you’re upgrading to a CPU that only supports DDR5, you’ll need to upgrade your motherboard, too.

I’d also personally get a new boot drive. Aside from the fact that you’ll be forced to reinstall your OS, which will make everything run so much faster unless it’s already something that you do frequently, they’re very cheap and consistently getting faster and faster. Not to mention that drives don’t last forever. Trust me… I write firmware for SSDs.

Spacebar sometimes but usually I just smack the keyboard randomly until it wakes up lol

The bastards are taking away my damn shampoo and I’m furious!

If Google had a baby she would drop it on its head spike it at the ground

I’d not heard of hugelkultur before - interesting!
