Not really. It means I have access to devices and tools I simply could not afford as a hobbyist. It means I can go to trade fairs and seminars paid for by my boss. It means I can get materials for my hobby at large customer discount prices.

Basically, I do. Kubuntu everywhere. Only exception are the servers that run a UI less version of Ubuntu.

If the LLM training data is based on / has used GPL code, this might set an interesting legal precedent.

Yes, but opening a lock by just hitting it with a hammer or holding a magnet to it is a new kind of low.

The LPL has shown often enough that his skills are not needed in all cases.

If you don’t need a good lock, any smart lock will do. Just watch the videos by the Lockpicking Lawyer on YT. Those “smart” locks are rather horrible. For most, you don’t even need lock picks.

Don’t know about Fedora. And you would have to do odd things to bloat any Linux distribution anywhere near a Winslop system.

My son had a netbook with win10 and office. This ate 27 of the 32 GB the thing had. An “important update” of 8 GB did not work, putting the device in a download and fail cycle.

I installed Linux on this machine - Kubuntu, with LibreOffice and a load of extra software. Took only about 4 GB of space.

Depends on the teacher. We had both kinds.

If it randomly locks up, try memtest86. It can often be found as a boot alternative in Linux installation images, but it is probably available solo.

As someone who has experienced double failure twice in my lifetime, I seriously recommend doing backups.

The problem is that the only serious backup solution is another HDD for this size. A robot array for tapes or worm drives is probably out of budget.

Yep, both correct. Singing it is rather difficult, as noone here speaks Swahili, and we have to learn the right intonations and pronunciations from YT videos.

“Baba Yetu” - we learned it for the choir. Luckily, i found a translation, so we now know that we are not ordering fridges or something. Look for “baba yetu stellenbosch” for a nice version.

Ahh, the rites of passage!

That’s why I, as a seasoned programmer, keep my fingers out of UI design. I leave that to the professionals.

Most likely POP3 vs IMAP. Issue as old as time.

Didn’t distract Steam from succeeding here.

The picture is not entirely correct.

First, the windows tank if full of holes, with new ones drilled every day, and Linux is not just an emergency fix.

Zsh? That’s a command shell I have not heard of for a very long time.

Check the date on his computer, is it also set to something in the 1980s?

Watch the “Lockpicking Lawyer” on YT and see how quickly he opens such locks. For many smart locks you don’t even need picking skills. A lot open to combing or raking, Or simply apply a strong magnet at the right place.

Tell me you have no idea how software development works without saying it…
