  • Likewise when theres a company meeting which clearly and simply lays something out and people have questions.

    Example: “We are switching payroll providers, This in no way impacts you as all direct deposits have been migrated. You might see a new note on the deposits from the new payroll company.” A bunch of hands go up… Its always the same people

    How could you possibly have a question?!

    CPU brand (as in AMD/Intel) makes little if any difference in linux, stark contrast to Nvidia/AMD GPU. There was a period of time where some of the intel CPU “efficiency cores” were not properly scheduled in the kernel but I think that’s a lot better now as long as you use a relatively new kernel. There are different power/frequency management flags you can pass to the boot params based on intel/amd but that probably makes more of a difference if you’re on battery: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen

    I think there used to be some limitation in using resizeable BAR with an intel CPU and AMD GPU, but that hasn’t been an issue for a while.

    I have a 5950x with a 6900xt in my linux box and have had no complaints.

    Wayland first, but have both installed so you can fall back to X11 if you need to. If you do have to go back check wayland again after every few updates. X is dying a long-needed death. It started off has a hack decades ago and has just been held together with duct tape ever since. There are some not so great things in wayland with some apps, sometimes issues with context menus or screen recording for example, but they’re getting fixed over time.

    I do kind of miss x forwarding over SSH. It was really convenient, there might be something for wayland but I haven’t looked for a while.


  • I don’t want to make it sound like any racists/homophobes/anti-semites or any hateful people of any sort have any sort of place in modern society or deserve any respect but I think the argument is that even hateful speech is still free speech, and the argument is that the ADL is trying to suppress speech. If other hate groups want to latch on to that its their perogative but I don’t necessarily see how that might make Elon anti-Semetic.

    Just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Im going to stay out of this convo from here on out because Pro and Anti-elon as well as pro and anti racists are very vocal and opinionated and I know how these conversations usually end up.

    These textbooks are trash and written by morons. When I was in college one of the required books said very clearly that sleep and hibernate are exactly the same thing. It said that both suspended to RAM and hibernate was just some lower power version of sleep. It was even a question on an exam that I got wrong for some reason. I argued with the professor about it and proved to him thats not the case by taking one of the lab computers, hibernating it, physically taking the ram out and swapping it with another computer and resuming into the same state on power on. He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”

    It really highlights that there are probably a lot of other inaccuracies that I didn’t notice. This is the standard of education nowadays.
