Because Best Buy is in the business of selling items at a high margin to unsuspecting people. Honestly, this looks like a mistake if I had to make a guess. Can you post a link of where this is from?

I love Bringus Studios, and had the same exact reaction when I saw this follow-up video from him. Absolutely crazy shit I've never seen before. I'm not sure there's enough here for Linus to do a full video on, as it's more of a fun factoid, but it could certainly be worked into a larger piece if they did a deep drive into DP vs HDMI on a conceptual level. I found the conversation on the WAN Show a week ago to be quite interesting, and would love for those thoughts to be fully formulated in a full length piece.

The moment I see something like this I drop that class and avoid that professor. Had a professor hand out diagrams describing DDR2 in a class I took in 2013. You clearly don't give a shit about your material enough to update it, why am paying $100s - $1000s of dollars to take your class.

Let me be clear here... I'm more talking conceptually: I can't imagine spending close to what they are asking for a cable management solution. The value add simply isn't there for me to spend even $100 for something that will bind my cables behind my entertainment center, office desk, and maybe my server room then (hopefully) not be touched for 6 months. However, this is something I like. I've had a link in my signature for years now showing off my cable management solution. I guess where my issue is the value of the added utility of this product over another, cheaper solution. I can see myself purchasing high quality luxury products. A backpack, a coat, a screwdriver. A cable management system doesn't fall into that same scope for me. Perhaps there isn't a price that I would find palatable here. I don't know. Perhaps the product just isn't for me. It certainly isn't at the current price.

Nah sorry guys. These prices are out to lunch. I can appreciate the R&D and quality, but the total cost for what I would need is simply way too high. I love the idea of the "Home Bundle" and I genuinely want it but I have 20 better ways to spend $150.

Cox does this in my area, but the reason for this is that they aren't really doing FTTP. Straight up being deceptive about their connection type while getting trounced by FiOS in that respect.

Here's a good write up.

Honestly, I didn't find it much trouble at all. Obviously this is going to be somewhat hardware dependent, but utilizing ArchInstall made the actual installation process a breeze. I initially started trying to use Hyprland and while it was really pretty, and I enjoyed the tiling aspects, the learning curve to properly configure the WM required just a bit more effort than I was willing to put in. I can see how, if configured properly, it would be an amazing experience. I switched over to a full DE in KDE Plasma and while Plasma 6 is still pretty buggy, it's nothing I'm not willing to put up with. I love pacman and the AUR. That alone will keep me on Arch for a while, and I imagine I will have a hard time transitioning to anything else. It's a bit of work to learn, but honestly, the Arch Wiki is so well documented that almost any question you have can be solved by a bit of googling and reading. Very few things I had to ask for help on, other than an active issue I'm having with wireplumber. (although that issue persisted on other distros as well so I believe it's a hardware issue, not one with Arch specifically)

I did the thing and made the switch from Fedora to Arch. Can I say the line now?
-
So how is it. Is it worth the trouble that it can be?

That's really what bugs me about Arch is the installation. It harkens back to when even with a graphical installer one still had to do a lot manually just to get it installed. At the same time having always the most up to date versions of software sounds good to me.
That Kubuntu will not get Plasma 6 on the mainline for a long time (instead in Backports) is irritating. There is a distro made by KDE which ... has the latest stable version of KDE Plasma at all times. Sort of rolling Plasma ... but sticks to Ubuntu LTS in every other way.I hope you keep us posted on how Arch works out for you

Driver support on Linux is depressing?
Skipple replied to Gat Pelsinger's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
There are really only four choices: Default drivers good the job well enough Manufactures fully support their hardware on linux and create the appropriate software People and random GitHub pages fill in the gaps. Don't use that device on Linux ooorrrr you become really good at scripting and become one of those random GitHub page maintainers yourself. Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux. -
Honestly, I would cancel and charge back. They didn't give you half the product promised.

60% tax rate on sales?

@ 12:45 This implies that putting helmets on handicapped people IS funny. Love it.

They're literally a subscription service. You signed up for a subscription. I'm exactly not sure what you expected. They also have a regular web storefront too. Why not just purchase you there if you are concerned about a subscription?
-
I'm honestly not sure why you think this was a used hard drive. They manufacture an almost identical thumb drive with a USB-C interface. The PCB is almost certainly manufactured in the same run and if they aren't putting a USB-C port on it, they just leave the solder pins as is. As for the System Volume Information, this is a normal partition on the hard drive for various Windows functions. If I recall correctly, tons of flash drives used to come with some dropbox files/firmware pre-installed. I haven't heard of manufactures doing that in a while, but this may be a remanence of this old process. Regardless, I'm still a bit confused why you think this flash drive is used. I mean, it's probably because that's not the case.
-
They release most of their product line under open source licensing, which is more than be said about 99% of companies in the space. You don't see ServiceNow, Atlassian, Zoho, or SalesForce doing anything remotely in the FOSS space. Odoo isn't required to give you support unless you are a prospective customer, and that seems completely reasonable. You yourself admit you aren't likely to purchase their enterprise platform, so I'm failing to see the issue here. How exactly are they neglecting the open source community? What was your line of questioning?
-
That's an incredibly complex question. Veritasium did a great job explaining the concept many years ago:

Deluge is a perfectly fine client as well, I've used it before in an unRAID container and works well. The release I used even came with PIA integrated. Both qBittorrent and Deluge are open source clients [1, 2] and are well regarded. iirc Deluge had an issue with a large number of active torrents back in the day. Not sure if that's still an issue.
-
I'm not sure what you mean here. When using torrents, your IP must be exposed, as it must be broadcasted in order to connect to other users to seed/leach. Any additional security or layering shouldn't happen within the client itself, but rather in how you are connecting to the WAN. As @alphaburst21 suggested, using a VPN is an easy enough way to obfuscate your public IP if that's something your concerned with, but it's not exactly a security risk. It's not really a privacy risk either so long as you are downloading/redistributing legal content.

TBF, μTorrent basically became malware like 10 years ago.

You are.. spinning your mouse? What does this mean? Like, you are free spinning the wheel?
-
Put on a fan, you will be fine. Honestly, if you are just soldering together a few wires, I wouldn't worry that much. The amount of lead you will be exposed to is fairly minimal unless you are soldering frequently.

PSA: Unraid might be changing license models
Skipple replied to Skipple's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Eh, that's not exactly the same. It's reasonable to assume that users can utilize unRAID without exposing the box to the internet. It is, afterall, a NAS solution first and foremost.
