It is true that I am always cowering and crying because I am constantly threatened with being beat over the head by Linux.

No.
If you’re talking about desktops, there is a huge cost involved in switching to an entirely new operating system. I’m not just talking about “How do you get it installed and configured on n laptops for users to then use?” Those users will require training in order to use it - and allllll of the new and different applications that run on that new operating system. (Users are mainly just button pressers, and when you change the buttons …) The alternative to the above would simply be to disable Recall via group policy. Done and done.
If you’re talking about migrating Active Directory to some Linux LDAP centralized authentication, that’s going to introduce a whole lot of other complications. Not impossible, no, but it would be a very long, time-consuming, and costly process.
If you’re talking about servers, you surely know that lots of companies run Linux servers on the back end. When you’re using Windows servers, there’s a reason. You want/need to use MS SQL, or Exchange on premise, or SharePoint on premise, for example. Are there other mail servers, database servers, collaboration servers? Sure - but again, switching from an existing platform to a different platform is costly.
These transition costs get exponentially higher when you consider whether companies actually have the in-house expertise to be able to pull off such a thing (Narrator: They don’t.)
My soul is worth more than that, and I don’t even have one.
Humanity needs to be way more interactive globally than it currently is, and for a good long time. Forcing elimination of borders and nations without having a basically uniform global culture - and probably language - is a “bad idea.”
I’m guessing that alternative front ends (piped, FreeTube, whatever) don’t give YouTube the same metrics they would get if I was using YouTube directly? I will continue to deny them the data they so desire.
The letter warned that if the outlet and its reporters “continue their reckless campaign of defamation, President Trump will evaluate all legal remedies.”
The only legal remedy they’re suggesting here is a defamation/libel suit. If Trump is asserting that ProPublica’s reporting on these oh so coincidental payments is false, then he will have to prove its falsehood. Furthermore, he will have to prove that ProPublica acted with actual malice.
You’re out of your element, Donny.
Not yet convicted, “allegedly” is the correct terminology.
That said, holy fucking shit.
Oh sure, if you’ve got something that will pass through the onboard video, you should be good, though you would still be limited to your onboard GPU capability.
I’ve been real happy with my enclosure and RX580 8GB (it was cheap as a “used, not used” takeoff). Keep in mind that if you decide to go with an external enclosure over USB-C, the GPU you use is going to operate at about 80% of what it would do installed directly in a desktop case. It’s still head and shoulders above the onboard performance.
I would consider Hitler worse though.
So far.
Any virtual graphics on any dock is going to suck for any OS. They don’t play well when you ask them to do “graphics stuff,” and some don’t even play well just doing regular old web browsing, word processing. Laggy, choppy, imprecise, etc. With a laptop (only reason I can think you’d be using a dock in the first place), you’re better off using an external enclosure with a dedicated real GPU of your choosing.
Good thing I’m not on Lemmy.
Only the first one, and not for very long.
I would love to be a magnet.
That doesn’t even make any sense.
No person is wholly self-sufficient. Every person depends on the efforts of other people to live, survive, and thrive. Those efforts have value, and so we exchange value to other people for what we cannot supply for ourselves.
Money is a fantastic way to do that. Money is what we all agree represents value.
Don’t forget getting ready to get ready to read the book.
Here’s what I think is going on.
ASUS made a deal with someone to send them data for money, so they snuck something in the EULA that said “Yeah, you’re gonna give us your data, or you get to have a brick.”
Somebody said, “Hey, what if it’s a junior high student who can’t legally agree to the EULA? That’s gonna make it so we could get sued.”
Dumb Execs said, “Make it so that you have to say you’re 16 first. Kids will just lie and say they are ,so that still protects us from lawsuits.”
Developers: face palm
Other headlines have suggested that the balloons are carrying poop.
What if I’m an email administrator who came from Timex/Sinclair?
We had asphalt. Monkey bars on it, too. For first graders. So many broken arms.
