The planned obsolescence is most likely a deliberate trade off rather than actual planned obsolescence.

If fast charging did do significant damage to battery life and this was known at the time of implementation, the decision would have been “users want fast charging phones” Vs “users want devices that last a long time”.
In this instance, the convenience of fast charging absolutely would have won.

“Users want a clear and easy to use device” Vs “users want a robust device”. Which is why we all have glass screens, and the glass technology had to catch up to further expectations.

“Users want easy wireless connectivity” Vs “users want fast and reliable network speeds”. WiFi wins, and has to catch up to further expectations.

I like the extra challenge that it’s over water!

There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It’s had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.

And you finally get to jump

Because WASM is a VM in terms of isolation.
Docker is just chroot with marketing (and tooling & ecosystem).

So, the idea of wasm is something that could actually run anywhere, without everything required to prop up a docker/k8s runtime

Massive Linux lore dumps going on, and I love it.
Thanks for correcting me.

Yeh, I think it’s actually “switch user do”.
Like “su” is “switch user”.

The default being root is handy.

Um, akshually it’s a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it’s always a DNS issue

I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).

Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.

Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.

The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
Since turning off FastBoot, I haven’t had any issues in the past 8 months.

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

Oh look, fediverse is still working.
You can share in the smug grin

Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device? We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S. We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved.

If you are interested in installing SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can follow the instructions here.

With instructions to install steamos and the note:

Currently, the only devices officially ‘Powered by SteamOS’ are Steam Deck and Legion Go S. We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS 3.7, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved.

So, it’s unlikely to be smooth sailing. But it can be done, and steam is working on improving it.

There seems to be some forks out there that claim to improve desktop installation, but I have no idea how active or decent they are.

Personally, I think steam is missing a huge market slice by not creating a steamos for desktops.
However, they don’t need it and probably don’t want it. It’s a market slice in a market they don’t need or want: operating systems.
People that would use it likely already have steam on windows. So, it’s not bringing in new customers (like the steam deck does).
People that game on Linux likely already use Steam Proton (which is an amazing contribution). So, no new customers by distributing a whole desktop OS.
It’s starting a fight with Microsoft (which I think we all want), but with no real benefit to Steam.

I think steam is smart to stay in their lane of handheld OS and Linux tooling for gaming.
Let the desktop gaming distros be maintained by other people. Ideally steam would support those distros, but just maintaining Proton and generally pushing Linux gaming is still a huge contribution.

I’ll trade you your gold for my petty insults

But they felt it. The whole building. Felt it.
And the clapped until their hands bled.

Maybe it’s about redaction of the files

Maybe Ukraine couldn’t retake the areas occupied by Russia, but they could deliver a Pyrrhic blow to Kremlin.

They have delivered a pyrrhic victory.
Russia thought they could take Kyiv (Ukraine?) on 3 days.
The fact that Ukraine has resisted so hard, have redefined the modern battlefield, have conducted huge deep strikes…
Ukraine is winning.

The reason Ukraine may not be “winning” is because the Russian war machine is huge. Like really really big.
The reason that Ukraine is “winning” is because the Russian war machine is outdated and corrupt.

The western opinion of Russia has been devastated. Russia tested themselves, and failed.
Russia is holding on by their nukes.

Oh god

The Arduino stack on esp32 is still freertos.
That’s why it’s recommended to leave the loop() empty, and run tasks (or whatever) in the setup() and have the tasks do their own loop
