    This is great information, thank you for posting! I think there is a line between security, and keeping a device useful in the long term. I think the threat of people installing li…

    That's gross. Removing the ability to comment is especially bad.

    Is there a Qwen that I can run locally that is anywhere near these frontier models?

    The Pro variant had 32GB, I had one in a 2019 Mac Pro

    I'm going almost the same direction, for the same reasons. Golang seems very interesting. Rewriting some hobby projects to get an understanding of the language and ecosystem. I'm o…

    If it's what I'm thinking of, it was the "Propaganda" wallpapers. I remember using them in Red Hat 6 in the late 90s! https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles Seems to mat…

    Papercuts like this are why I moved away from macOS. I will say, I don't love the use of LLMs to write these bug reports. It's probably fine if reviewed, but at least review for th…

    I have a couple of base model M1 Max studios that I will give this a try on!

    I have the chonk. 10/10 would chonk again. I miss the 12" MacBook form factor for an email/web/dumb terminal machine, though. Would love something like that with great Linux suppor…

    Hopefully it gets a port to the Clicks Communicator. From what I understand the bootloader will be unlockable.

    Show me the reasons why you can't safely deploy JIT. If it's a security concern, properly sandbox it.

    I haven’t had much time with it, but I’ve had to set the split in the BIOS. There’s probably a way to do it from within Linux though. Also hoping some progress is made on using the…

    It's the 128gb variant, and I chose it for that reason exactly. I can dedicate up to 96gb to the iGPU

    He found a sideloadable JIT server + VPN setup. It seems super sketchy honestly, and it's a shame that people have to go through this to enable a feature that should just be availa…

    I've been running Debian on servers for 20+ years now. And in the last few years I've been running it on my desktop, sort of a toe in the water. Debian hasn't let me down, and I'm …

    Keyboard shortcuts have been a big pain point, but I'm adjusting. I'm using Plasma 6, and trying to use the defaults vs emulating the mac shortcuts. Print screen as a screenshot bu…

    I have been a Mac user since the classic mac days. I waited in line for the first iPhone. macOS/iOS 26 are bad enough that I've begun switching to Linux. I preordered a Clicks Comm…

    I started with Red Hat 6 (not RHEL) as a kid, because it was what was included with the book on Linux that I was gifted. Some time around 2000, I was given some retired beige power…

    I bought one as soon as they were released, as well as the keyboard case. It never really worked correctly, but I loved the concept and wish they would have succeeded. I know it's …

    I'd be sure to charge them before storing them for the next show. Most batteries don't like being stored for long periods in a low SoC state. And I'm sure the tamper requires a fun…
