Eh, it’s just not worth the effort to get a tablet that will still run poorly even after poring over half deleted xda threads. Were there any chance that the original surface running another OS could be useful, I’d do it. But it’d be a poor experience no matter what, based on what I’ve read.

And it seems like android sucks on there as well. Damn.

You’re describing a sturdy tablet running Linux. Speaking of which, I just remembered the worst gift I have ever been given, a gen1 windows surface! The sack of shit couldn’t even run windows, the OS it was designed for, without freezing. Gonna see if I can dig it out and swap the OS!

Used enterprise minis are dirt cheap. The only downside is that they guzzle electricity compared to a low spec pi, but they can do much more, so don’t be afraid to give them additional tasks.

Kids really need to be introduced to Linux earlier. None of this iPad baby shit.

As a recent recidivist, it’s terrifying how snappy my decade old laptop became on a light distro.

You’re really going to settle on an os with imperfections? With arch, you could finally do what you’ve been meaning to do without the constraints that others’ small minded inefficiencies produce. Just think about it. An OS precisely to your liking. No compromises, just your apotheosis. Become what you were meant to be. (Mate btw)

Sounds like you didn’t go into that conversation with purpose. Sounds like you never wanted to speak to them and did so out of an odd feeling of obligation. Pretty difficult to have a good conversation from those beginnings. Reflect on what went wrong and why, and embrace what you learned.

Feels like a trap. “Yes, please voluntarily offer your personal information to our legal department.”

Illegalish, no criminal history, quite possibly the kindest folks you’ll ever meet, formerly on track for citizenship until trump. What really got us was how quiet it was. Just gone one day. No lawyer, no calls. They simply ceased to exist for a time

I hope never to have to report deportation of a legal citizen or resident, but I will.

Half of my friend’s family is gone and ICE is inching toward gestapo territory. It’s pretty bad

If you expect the US to persist beyond 4 years from now, then now’s prime time. Buy the dip, as they say.

Funny, that would have been my second question. Thank you!

Depends on the variety of fraud. Kids qualifying for reduced cost lunches? Ignore. Companies intentionally offering less than their label states? Offer them the scalding enema they deserve.

What’s the deal with the absolute proliferation of pc ports? What started this marvelous trend?

How much would it cost to store like 100 petabytes for (conservatively) 40 years?

Tacking on, tile is cold and vinyl looks silly.

I understand that, but I’m asking whether a .ml domain was chosen as a quirky little reference to communism? Like, I can start selling contacts on contacts.contact. I’m curious about the intent

So .ml isn’t an intentional reference to communism?

Wild dogs and angry magpies are the only ones that usually seemed to be a consequence of misfortune, rather than fucking around and finding out. YouTube removes most that involve actual bloodshed so “animal attack hiking” offers plenty to chew on.
