I agree wholeheartedly with this article and this is something I'm struggling with my daughter about: the worst thing anybody can say is no and in some cases, they already said no.…

You should be able to disable these alerts via the Wireless Emergency Alerts.

Could someone give me an actual guide for spending as little as possible to get as maximal gains with either SOTA or cheap models as a systems administrator and not someone like a …

Sorry, the article didn't really say if it was upstream or only in Debian. I assumed it was only Debian. I still stand on the point that stuff like this should be frowned upon rega…

Protestware as a whole has never worked to solve anything. Awareness of a particular issue is the only positive thing "protest" software has successfully tried, with the second ord…

Within your company, sure. But there's some engineers (think medical) who know standards like DICOM and PACS imaging but aren't familiar at all with OS internals or systems adminis…

One of the more interesting pieces of Microsoft software is the Windows Admin Center where it's a web app to configure a Windows Server. Ideally, it was made for core installs wher…

I don't think that market is as big as you think it is and if anything, it's only going to push people away from the Steam Machine into another micro PC platform that will be able …

What are you coding over the network such that the network is a bottleneck?

I don't see a market of people who want to pay Valve $1,050 to play Steam games on a custom Linux machine with old hardware that won't support big name games that have kernel anti-…

I just don't see a Linux gaming machine being a reference piece of hardware for big name publishers when they are making Windows-only games. The Steam Survey is a better indicator …

There's better options at this price point, I'm afraid. Even buying an old tiny micro PC that's 10th gen Intel would've been a cheaper buy.

The Zen 4 cores in it is Ryzen 7000 Series, we're on 9000 series. The GPU is on par with the 3060 12GB and RX 7000 series GPUs which are older. The PS5 is six years old! This is a …

I don't remember anyone saying this about the Switch and at the time, the reviews for North America at least were very positive.

It's just dead-on-arrival. I'm not convinced this hardware is "an extension of PC gaming, not a console" when the hardware is generations out of date. To credit Microsoft, Sony, an…

I like this although I would not have chosen Docker. Podman comes with no socket and rootless by default, it just seems more in line with this sort of architecture, not to mean Pod…

For me, it's a personal preference and in my opinion, it's less professional.

The Pixel series outside of security (to which their own flavor of Android doesn't even take advantage of like we see with GrapheneOS) doesn't have any particular outliers that wou…

I know this is off topic, but I do thank you for your Android work, the idea and elegance of fastboot.js and that SafetyNet workaround trick was truly really cool.

One of the neat things about something like this is that you could, in theory, do OS builds (think stuff like bootable containers) where you can, deterministically, configure an op…

1. That's awesome! I assume RDP or VNC would be the same then, I use that for work primarily. 2. Huh. Well, I feel like an idiot! I always use two hands when opening the lid, muscl…

Hey Nirav, congrats on the newest release and I'm really eyeing the 13 Pro. A couple of questions: 1. How are the thermals? I've had mixed experiences with my 11th gen FW 13 thrott…

Then you can publish the public Code Signing certificate for download/import or publish it through WinGet. Using Azure Trusted Signing or any other certificate vendor does not guar…

I'm confused why they can't just generate their own signing key and deploy it alongside the installer. Using arbiter platforms like this sounds like a great way to footgun yourself…
