While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

What are you even talking about? Debian is fine and extremely stable, which is what you want for a work PC when your pay is on the line.

Nuke Manjaro and install SteamOS on it: A decent, if dated hardware, handheld.

I was more saying cheap “when companies moved in”. Now it just has the workforce and supply chain knowledge/infrastructure because of those investments.

Corporate fucktard assholes are running out of cheap labor around the world. They keep moving it around, but eventually there won’t be any place to go.

“Unfounded US propaganda”.

Are you saying China DIDN’T aggressively take over Hong Kong and all of the businesses that operated there?

Xi is the head of the government in a totalitarian, communist regime. Just because he might be “leaving BYD alone” or whatever today does not mean that couldn’t change in an instant.

The United States is its own form of screwed up and is an absolute mess. I’m not sitting over here going 'US good. China bad". I’m making the point they’re both bad in different ways.

Foreign investment was because of cheap labor and companies being subsidized by the communist government…

BYD might make a better car than Tesla, but saying that a Chinese company isn’t “under the control of Xi Jinping”, the guy who crushed Hong Kong for having too much independence and wants to do the same with Taiwan, is laughable.

I think you missed the joke.

…uh…cool…

What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

Oh…huh…I didn’t even know we had cake days on Lemmy. Haha. Thanks.

IPv6 should be the preferred option. It’s the same on Windows and MacOS.

If you have IPv6 issues, just turn off IPv6 on the adapter you’re using.

Calling it a “Fischer Price” distro is a little patronizing. I’m a seasoned Linux user and I use Mint for work because I just want something that works when my paycheck is on the line. Mint has never broken on me and always works.

That’s Russia and China in a nutshell. Trump does it too, but that’s just because he’s mimicking daddy Putin.

The American war machine was getting light pocketbooks. Gotta start another conflict.

Never say never. There are actually several areas where I’ve seen fiber build out from government grants.

That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

This.

That said, it’s rare that only one or two outlets in a garage are tied to a breaker. Usually they’re all on one circuit in older homes, in my experience.

If you can find a circuit like this, though, it’s perfectly valid. Many chargers made for 110V also have a 230V/15 or 20 amp mode. My Mother-in-law’s portable charger has a 230V NEMA 2-20 adapter that comes in the bag with it.
