It really comes down to your needs. If flying frequently then the perks of status can add up but if your flying for personal reasons it makes less difference other that needing to learn multiple airline policies over just one.

I got a minisforum v3 and it’s amazing. I can actually game on it and use it as a real productivity device. KDE tablet mode works fairly well.

I’m not impressed with the performance of Intel these days not when you can get full Ryzen CPUs with decent graphics in a “tablet”.

It’s not much but the company I work for just announced our factory it’s carbon neutral without purchasing offsets. Rather than announce a date in the future we just went ahead and did it.

If they want to inspire then get out and march from the front. I’m not sticking my neck out until they do.

TempleOS: super religious chick who is one year away from discovering God’s loophole.

He also has been known to hook up a kid in need when their normal dealer cant be found.

Sometimes I get a smile out of hearing my partners little snores. Sometimes they jump out and startle me awake with full on fight or flight.

As others have said without hardware info you will not solve this.

List your CPU, motherboard, cooling type, and if possible pictures of the case and location.

The CPU will never run cooler than it’s environment so if the room or case is hot so is the CPU.

I have a minisforum V3 and have been running KDE on it and its ok, I still cant get rotation working and yeah the lack of an onscreen keyboard is a real problem. But otherwise its more than usable.

Depends on the application. I run a nightly backup of a few VM’s because realistically they dont change much. I have containers on the other hand that run critical (to me) systems like my photo backup and they are backed up twice a day.

because I can KVM from one computer to another in under 1 second and I dont feel like adding 14 to that. Plus Folding@Home.

If I didn’t look how would I know what kind of infection I have?

Used UPS’s show up from time to time. I recently found a craigslist posting with 6 all of which were in decent shape needing some cleaning, and new batteries.

Batteries are the rub since they only last about 5 years so most used ones need new batteries. Good news is its not that hard to replace them as long as you take your time and pay attention.

Android works just fine without an account, you just cant use any google services.

Ubiquity is trash with fickle support based on the whims of what sells wide adoption. TP Link IMO is a decent value for the money if you want easy “prosumer” level networking gear. I have I have 3 TP Link APs as well as a 16 port 10g core switch and its great for my needs.

Mikrotik offers more features per $$ but its not as easy to use.

Bring on the boring! Its what lets me daily Linux as a real alternative to windows. I love that my system gets constant updates, I get to pick when they install, it goes out of its way to NOT overwrite my preferences and settings, it maintains the look and feel I set it to, and it stays stable.

I use their server distro’s all the time but i never liked the UI so I just dont bother.

i never use Ubuntu so… Glad to hear it.

is that for real?
