AMD should stop making Intel chips unalive themselves with overvoltage transients. It is terribly rude.

At least Windows has more precise monitoring, it will tell you whether the process is “Windows Telemetry” or “SVCHOST.EXE”.

The OOM killer always, invariably starts off with killing the display server. Any side effects such as “the notification daemon loses its connection and closes” or “every single thing that you were working on loses its connection and closes” is incidental.

Anybody that claims to know what they’re doing with grub is a fool or a liar.

From what I can tell, Nvidia drivers only started to git gud at doing Wayland around version 555.

Big brands have the money to provide longer support, but not the inclination lol.

“Drivers” are only when you do ring 2 message passing in a hurd microkernel. Everything else is just “late-bound function call steering that happens to satisfy hardware-specific device communication and control”.

Is anything going down in the system log when you mount a drive, or trigger an access error? If it’s (one of the many) security systems clamping down, they tend to log that.

Considering how poorly “the remarkably well supported ARM” Raspberry Pi is at playing video, I am shocked.

It’s fucking crazy how much work goes into shitting out thousands and thousands of slightly different models of android phone and tablet and chromebook. Slap together a board design based on buying two trays of some SOC. Open up the Android source, slap some NDA drivers in, build an image, burn it into a production run. Don’t bother saving your changes, these devices will never get an update. Two weeks later, change out the whole design for a different chip, repeat.

The vast majority of xz’s blobs are accounted for, too.

I thought this was pretty solid talk on SElinux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WOKRaM-HI4

If you think it’s hard to figure out GPG for yourself, well good luck finding and communicating with someone else who has also figured it out.

You can grab Kate from the Windows Store right now. Get all of the KDE apps, they’re pretty much the only good stuff on there.

It’s a shame that that the list doesn’t translate well into “what device can I go out and buy”? Every shitty manufacturer has to constantly churn design changes, and hide it all behind the exact same model number.

Debian Testing.

ARM systems don’t have the whole ACPI thing to describe what hardware is where. Linux has to bodge together its view of the system with a devicetree instead. If you don’t know what device IP blocks are integrated into the SOC (and locked behind an NDA), good luck blindly guessing. You don’t even get EFI booting, you get shit like “the rpi gpu runs its own proprietary bootloader lol”.

Has Qualcomm ever been helpful?
