You basically have to add grease lightning or something similar to your wash to get that stuff out.

Going bankrupt from a random hospital visit.

Unless things have changed, that was true even if you buy one of their official Linux or No OS/Other OS laptops based on the price. You probably have to go with a smaller company like System76 or Framework that explicitly offers Linux as a first class option and isn’t big enough to get roped into some extremely lucrative evil contract.

They do, but the OEM rates are significantly lower than what you or I would pay, and they get cheaper by volume so the big OEMs are paying very, very little per unit.

Fwiw, mine has worked with no issues on any of my Linux PCs.

Thanks, that explains what I was missing.

I definitely had issues with my 3070. I ran it in Linux for 4 years before recently switching back to AMD. It was usually only minor issues like it not playing well with certain DEs, but sometimes certain driver versions would make my system unusable/unbootable until I could roll them back. I am glad some people never had it happen, but pretending like it wasn’t a thing just makes you ignorant.

I have used both AMD and Nvidia cards on Linux for a long time and with Nvidia it’s mostly fine now days, but their driver situation tends to be fine until the rare time that it isn’t. I switched back to AMD last year due to the occasional driver issue that left me dead in the water. And by occasional I mean like once every year or so, not something common. It is entirely possible that you’ll never have much of an issue, but I started to take note of my Nvidia driver versions and and especially noted when GPU drivers were updated so that I had some notion of where to try to roll back to if I ran into issues. I haven’t had any issues like that with my AMD cards for a long, long time in Linux (with Windows obvious the situation was more of the reverse of this).

Does Pantech have some sort of Japan specific patent for modem tech that isn’t recognized internationally? It isn’t like Google even makes modems.

Sure is

I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs

I was lured to use it during those days as well because of all the cool and wildly different screenshots I had seen. I did manage to get it working and looking super cool, but it was fragile and complex. It was so easy to fully break it in my experience. I tried to use it again about 8-10 years ago and while it was easier than the 90s, it was more trouble than I was willing to put up with for a DE these days. Especially since Gnome (with extension) and KDE could trivially look nice.

The 8a is a great replacement, but I can understand someone not wanting to give Google any more money after they pull this shit AGAIN. I had to because GrapheneOS wasn’t available on anything else.

Mine was a new TI 9/4A. Did yours have the voice synthesizer or hard drive? The voice synthesizer was awesome to kid me, even if most of the games were not so great.

The only thing on my phone that could do anything like that would be the SIM itself, and luckily that’d a single call I’d do right away.

Based on my experience in swamps, I refuse to believe that there aren’t some straw hat wearing hillbillies living elsewhere on Dagobah.

I mean, sandy planets tend to be chock full of jedi for some reason, so let’s go with that.

Yes, you appear to have shitty people around you, and sadly it is very common for men to deal with this after a divorce. Keep talking to a counselor, dude.

Presumably a woman, we can’t tell from this angle. It could be a Death Eater for all we know.
