• replacement parts for appliances (dishwasher wheels, feet, brackets…) • upgrades for your 3d printer (a camera holder is a classic) • if you are a thinkerer (I’m assuming you are) custom boxes for small projects (electronics and so on)
I know, but many people barely know what “supported hardware even mean”, they will see the message " this computer won’t receive any more updates" and simply buy a new one.
Windows 11 refusing to install on hardware it can absolutely run on.
IP rating on smartphones so there’s seals and glue everywhere and opening them up is a fucking nightmare.
I don’t know, my experience with python is “sudo apt install python3” on linux and “download the installer on windows and run it”, I see many comments mentionting python difficilt to install but I really can’t see why
C is full of complex paradigms and low level details that are great if you’re learning computer architectures, but pretty bad if it’s your first languages.
Python in the other hand is great to learn programming practices and for quick, non-optimized, easy scripts. I think it’s less suited for more complex projects, but that’s another thing. I honestly fon’t think it’s a great language, but it’s easy to use and has pretty much a library for everything, that’s why I think it’s good to start and for simple things.
Java is also quite high level, so also good for beginners, but I’ve never used it so I don’t know how easy is to setup (python is) and how easy it is to download dependencies (on python it is).
For your case I would say Python is best.
Investing safe will small dividends but high safety is not as difficult as it seems. You can get a mix of: • state bonds • big ETF collection that basically never got in red since their beginning 10+ years ago • some bank accounts even give you a small 2/3% just by leaving the money there. Not the best but it’s better than nothing
On a TV series, a cowboy libertarian explains his being libertarian to a rich evil lady. She smiles and exclaims “you are all a bunch of toddlers! Wanting to suckle on other peoples tits and being treated as adults, while having none of the responsibility of being one”.
I’ve known a bunch of them and I think their ideology is fine on the surface, but full of small contraddictions, for example:
That’s my experience with a few tens of people, so I don’t know if that’s representative of the whole community, bu my own little consipracy theory is that libertarianism as I know it was crafted by the US alt-right to subtly manipulate people into fascism, the premises are all there: hatred for the current state, bigotry, extreme victimism, a willingness to strip down thenselves of hard-fought rights and a hustle/grinding mentality to slave yourself down to work and enrich other people
How can anyone have access to these 3 furballs and not keep them for life?
That looks like VRAM corruption, though it’s unlikely that the only ram corruption occurs in the video ram and only when the BIOS settings are on, but maybe the issue lies in the graphics adapter in that specific video mode.
Does this happen only when entering the BIOS settings? What about during POST (when the motherboard logo is on screen) or after post when the OS is loading before the graphics driver is loaded?
• host my own opem-source software to stay independent from big tech and save my privacy (also it’s a lot of fun) • not let anyone tell me how to live my own life. You think smart working is lazy? I’m not woring for you. You think I’m weird because I don’t conform to your ideas? Don’t care. I know my worth and respect myself • learn, learn and learn new stuff. It’s nice and convenient (and usually cheaper) to have people do stuff for you, but for the most important things, it’s important that you can do them yourself, if there’s an emergency • looking forward to be self-employed. This is still a work in progress…
Freenom isn’t operating anymore and all free .ml domains are deactivated. I always wondered if the where able to keep the lemmy.ml domain because it was premium
I think this applies to everything. The “geniuses” we praise (Einstein, Newton, Galileo) are not superhumans with access to secret knowledge that only their mind could unlock, they are just very clever and astute individual that studied a lot and figured out things by applying a mix of logic and intuition to information that everybody already had.
If they didn’t exist, someone else would have (likely) eventually come to the same conclusions. Heck maybe someone did years earlier but never told anybody.
Calculus methods was independently discovered by Leibnitz and Newton at around the same time, that’s why we have different notations for the same thing.
Don’t compare yourself to others, what works for them doesn’t necesserily works for you. Do what you enjoy, try and spend as little as you can so you don’t have to worry about abandoning them and regret, and try and not hoard hobbies: if you buy a guitar but didn’t play it for 3 years, maybe it’s time to sell if and recover some money, if you know you don’t care about it. Just try and not feel too bad about it. Hobbies are and should be to enjoy passing times only.
Windows 8 ia older now (13 years) than XP was when 8 came out (11 years). Feel old yet?
Windows 10 is almost as old (10 years).
Maybe I’m reading wrong, but your comment seems to imply that Tian’anmen Square was mainstream media lies?
I don’t want any “smart” crap in my house, I don’t want my appliances to be connected to the internet and to be controlled by an app, it should all be self sufficient.
And if you really want to add the option to be controlled remotely (but should not be the only way) make it a local connection, why should my phone connect to the internet to turn on an AC located three meters away?
Mine is Dyson because he eats any kind of food (regardless of who is eating at the moment) and he will always lick the plate cleaner than it was.
