I saw a vid where they installed a recent version of linux on a Pentium 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DiK5FDpBTg

I used to install linux on older mac hardware and donate it. I don't think that works anymore with with the M chips (at least in the same easy way)

It's worth mentioning hard acceleration causes a torque multiplication to occur in torque converters vs a slow acceleration does not (check me on that). Once locked up, multiplicat…

This line of thinking is utterly bizarre to me. People need to stop thinking of GitHub as anything other than a typical corporation. If they could charge an additional dollar they …

This is what happened during the last major downturn. There was an influx of startups. If you want to stay in tech during a downturn you either start a business, join a startup, st…

I don't disagree with that call out. However, we've been through these discussions many times over the years. The solid queue of yesteryear was delayed_job which was originally cre…

I was also getting this, but works today.

I suspect you've also had zero reason to use the vast majority of programming languages at work in any meaningful capacity outside of the normal top ones. That's normally how tech …

Here's an example from the circleci incident https://status.circleci.com/incidents/hr0mm9xmm3x6 and a good analysis by a flicker engineer who ran into similar issues https://blog.m…

The older XPS 15 were very solid (for a PC, still no where near a Mac)and they absolutely destroyed them. Complete garbage now, and at MBP price point too! They really lost their w…

While it is true you can get extended support, their website states the following >>>> Extended Security Updates for organizations and businesses on Windows 10 can be purchased tod…

I've been running Steam on both linux and windows. This year I was 85% Linux.

Arc Raiders on linux is fully supported and a lot of fun. Lots of people have steam decks and lots of people will have a steam machine. There will be FPS multi on linux. The larger…

Dell offers several models with Ubuntu. Other smaller manufacturers also support linux, for example Framework and System76. A tiny minority to be sure. Microsoft's EOL for Win10 me…

I slapped 96GB of ram into my 13 framework laptop last year, when prices were cheap. I'm probably going to upgrade next cycle for fun and give my current laptop away (I'll keep the…

A perfectly crafted turd ....is still a turd.

As Win10 is officially unsupported now, non-tech people have come to me to ask me what they should buy as a new laptop. So far I've been successful in installing Ubuntu or having t…

25Gb has been available in Chattanooga for a few years already https://epb.com/newsroom/epb-news/epb-launches-speedy-25gb-s... https://epb.com/fi-speed-internet/?#choose-your-plan …

FWIW I've never heard of Paracetamol, but have heard of Acetaminophen since an early age. Thanks US television ads!

A lot of ruby gems have definitely seemed to suffer from brain drain the last few years. It's worth noting that the creator of Elixir was also an author of Devise.

As someone who did Rails professionally for a very long time, Phoenix/Elixir is now my default stack. Possibly the one thing that Rails still does better is generating quick throw …

The problem is the websocket implementation (last time I tested it) sucked. I'm assuming even now if you're doing non-trivial websockets you need to use the node or golang implemen…

I remember when a project failed on Kickstarter due to golang dependency hell in particular. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5796597

Iv been using podman for around 2 years now without issue. Works great for my use cases.
