Hmm… Gimme a headphone jack option and I’ll try getting in on that crowdfunding, if they let me do it from the US.

There’s the upcoming Slate trucks, but those are scheduled for Q4 2026. And… also probably going to be US exclusive for a bit. Oof.

Honestly, the fact that they even have a remove button easily accessible like this is miles above everyone else.
I’d still prefer opt-in, but this is better than nothing.

I wonder if we’ll ever get enough standardization across EVs so people can start doing the electric equivalent of an LS swap.
I could see this being done on a Slate truck, along with an auxiliary EV battery bolted in the back.

See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.

Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.

Could always make them waste even more resources by adding noise to what little data they might have.
I’m Spartacus Banksy!

First Spain, and now Ireland. I don’t even know what goes on at Eurovision, but let’s hope the momentum on this keeps going.

I’d say wipe and reinstall again, but this time with a different Distro and user password, just to eliminate a bunch of variables at once, including suspect install media.

Try Fedora this time. It usually gets the latest security patches in its repos quite quickly, and it has spins for all the myriad desktop environments out there.

Huh, and I thought that was only for the os activation, but no. ESU support is right there, under the TSForge activation method.

Given that you’re using this for a laptop, you’re looking for a monitor. Not a TV.

Anything suitable for office work should be good here.

Listen mate, the fact that you’re even reading instructions at all instead of chucking the technical stuff aside, or trying to force some unlucky family member to be tech support, puts you miles above most of the people I’ve dealt with.

I had one guy demand I physically come down to his desk for an issue that was “blocking an important report”. It was literally just Windows asking if he wanted to overwrite an old file.

Hell if I know. I’ve heard the term “Sigma Grindset” before, but it can’t be tied to what I’m thinking of.
You’d have to be the worst workaholic ever to be applying Six Sigma/Agile stuff to your personal life.

Amazing idea, but if the wiring in that second picture is anywhere near commonplace, you’re going to want to put a bit more budget into power grid maintenance. That rats nest of cabling is bad enough from a low voltage IT perspective, I can only how terrifying that would be for HV engineers.

Oh please, the crazy train is fine.

Now if you hear music played on bones, then you know you’re screwed.

…It’s a constitutional violation so blatant it makes you wonder if Bailey got his law degree from a cereal box.

Absolutely savage. I love it.

Cool. Do anticheat vendors next.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

Lock the entire forum into read-only mode for a week, and plaster the leakers name on the front page as the reason for the lock.

Mostly just the resilience and control. An outage or censorship incident on one node can be contained, isolated, and users can easily go around it.
“Oh no, my preferred instance went down!” switches to another instance with the exact same content

Also, I think some European governments run Mastodon servers for themselves. Which sounds weird, but makes more sense in an IT security context. Their data, stored on their servers, that they manage. No third party business contractors needed.

Boi…
