The username is the joke.
I’m not putting in more effort than you clowns unless I feel like it lol
I wonder if this will give them reason to consider an ML tool or something like crowdstrike to scan the repo.
I work in IT and when I want to find out what something has, I literally pull up the manual page for the motherboard. It tells you what it is. Sometimes a specifications page for a part is good enough. LLMs like perplexity can get you search results where you can then read for yourself what the actual thing does…
Supermicro X11SSV is probably not a motherboard, I see X11SSV-Q, X11SSV-Q-O, and other variants
The lenovo chromebook should have a specific model too. Search for that.
There’s a system for dennis already.
I have a multi wan SMB router. 945mbit throughput. $60 new.
TPLink omada or Ubiquiti tier stuff is all you really need for small business. The redundant ISP connections cost way more, but it’s still a tiny cost per month for something that can get the job done in a pinch like a hotspot.
Battery backups are only useful if you have a generator to take over the utility load imo. Not a common thing in small business unless you’re leasing somewhere with generators provided for the whole building.
Redundant servers are not that hard to have. Just need proxmox. It’s not as intuitive as old vmware but it’s more than enough for a SMB. Some kind of storage shelf and three little servers gets you a ton of redundancy. If a tiny budget is necessary and small downtime is fine you really only need a couple of hosts that are beefy enough to run everything you need on each.
Windows Terminal is a fairly new application. It came along around 2020 and launched with powershell 7 as its thing, in an attempt to drive people away from the old command prompt and to start using powershell. It probably always supported command prompt and other alternative terminal applications, but Microsoft has been trying to put powershell everywhere for a while. I think the Mac and Linux rollout was 2018?
Command prompt is still there but I imagine at some point it’ll just run command prompt commands in powershell instead if it isn’t already doing something like that already.
Yeah, What was the default one?
Microsoft has admitted to breaking this. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/windows-11-apps-like-notepad-arent-loading-what-is-error-code-0x803f8001-and-how-d
He even looks like the stereotype of a Reddit mod.
Unbelievable.
Oh hell no lol. I splurged on 64gb of ram a year ago because it was about $200. It’s overkill, but I do run VMs and game servers from time to time for friends and 32gb is kind of the base for ddr5 anyway. I swapped the work system standard for users over to 32gb around a year ago, and I try to keep my personal at home stuff to about double that since I use the stuff for a long long time.
The / partition is a bit too big, but this was my first time splitting out home after a migration from pop_os. Learned a lot from that. Also have a bit of unpartitioned space.
I have to swap bootloaders from systemd to limine or something since I have heard a lot of people mention at this point that it’s better btrfs recovery. Haven’t had the motivation yet.
I’m hoping we’ll get past 5% on the steam hardware survey this year. Very possible given the trend.
Too many of my younger friends are obsessed with bf6 or a handful of other live service stuff that will not come to linux any time soon, or refuse to because they think they’ll run an ai model or don’t want to figure it out for their dev projects.
I moved over a few months ago and don’t miss it.
Totally agreed. 
Or bury the bodies in a mass grave
if you know what I mean
I use linux though. Cachyos right now.
I saw someone mention that if you find an old installer for windows 10, you can upgrade to that and continue on to upgrade to w11 still and keep the activation.
ymmv
This is so amazing.
It’s awesome. It’s just missing clippy somewhere, somehow. Don’t know how i’d fit it in there though, maybe just googly eyes over the p.
Does remembering my starcraft cd key count?
Yeah because I’m sure windows users pay way less than macOS users.
I wonder what the techies pay like me who are using Linux. I think I’m up to about $2000 this year on software alone.
Pc gaming was a 52 billion dollar industry in 2025.
Each 1% of gamers using Linux is then around 500m… and Linux users trend English speaking, so likely wealthy nations unlike the majority of steam windows users.
Yes, it is creating a change and a change creates many pain points. The same old story of leadership bullshit ideas vs how the work actually gets done is something that will have to be addressed no matter what.
Pandora’s box is open and will never close again. The perception of executive leadership is that it eliminates work, because they have no idea how the sausage is made now, even if they were artists for decades before becoming executives.
Any company that fires their artists today is gonna be hiring all those positions again anyway
i’ve had headsets with it. Just takes a very small battery with some seconds of life.
