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?

My kids, who began using Linux at home and then Chrome OS since the ages of 5 ,would suggest that it’s only older users who are completely stuck in their ways and can’t adapt to different operating systems.

Second this, whatever you pick never let someone else “own” your data because then they own your company. If you cant export data freely so it can be imported into another system, then its not yours.

I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.

It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.

Used brother MFC-L3770CDW with a firmware T or older. If you can’t get one with an old firmware you have to use brother replacement toner. It’s sometimes possible to downgrade firmware but having had to do it once I never want to again.

But other than the toner issue it works fantastic on Linux and my whole house uses it.

Would not recommend for photo printing.

Yeah… saw that and instantly was like shit they got me.

I like your suggestion, forwarded to partner. Also this way we both have to go through some pain to transfer and its not just them.

If you recall how you felt before your birth, it feels exactly the same as that.

consumer crap is just that crap.

I like small PC’s as PFsense/Opnsense routers and then a POE switch and access points. It always works better than any mesh or consumer stuff.

SMS/MMS all run through the telco and they can and do archive this data. AT&T in the US just had a major breach of this data.

That looks like the closest successor to the pebble I think I’ve ever seen.

I may need to order one and test it out.

if it existed I would be using it. Garmin is the next closest not total crap “smart” watch.

Old Pebble if you can find a working one that someone will part with.

Ubuntu server, it’s a bit more modern than Debian and has a massive install base which means someone has had your problem and fixed it before and documented it.

When I realized that what I want to do and enjoy in life has nothing to do with my career.

Work is work an and if you’re lucky maybe you get a job with a good team for good company. Maybe your job is even social positive an the that’s even better but it’s still a job not a calling so perfect it’s purely subjective.
