what if I, for example, had a job in Google and I liked Linux so much I install Ubuntu on my Chromebook, would that be illegal/send me to prison?? Or, if I had the job, would I be kicked?? I like Chromebooks because they are so smol and nice. But I don’t know if it’s legal to install a Linux distro on it. Thank you!!
Uh, you don’t have to work at Google on order to do that. Most Chromebooks can be unlocked to work with Linux with a little bit of work. And you wouldn’t be at risk of going to jail for that. Worst that could happen is you void your warranty. But it’s not a “real crime” or anything like that.
Honestly, if it had good drivers and proper UEFI support, I would use a laptop with a Mediatek CPU. Most of my workflow is either web-based or already supports ARM.
All Intel CPUs have a Management Engine, basically a smaller CPU within the CPU designed for controlling the rest of the chip. It’s particularly good for things like IT management or devices because it operates with direct control over the other parts of the chip. This device’s firmware is based on Minix.
My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.
I had the Motorola Atrix 4G, the cousin of this phone on AT&T. Phone itself was fine but the software support was abysmal. It only ever got one OS update to 2.3 (they promised and reneged on 4.0), then released an updated Atrix 2 like five months later that was better in every way, cost the same, and DID get the update.
I think they’re referring to the fact that you can only continue using an unsupported version of MacOS for two years, not that the computer will only get two years of support.
the more i am delving into things, the dell documentations are saying that the two really aren’t compatible except for like an outdated version of ubuntu… I never even thought about this, but looking back in time, I’ve tried many distros and the all have had some sort of internal issues that I couldn’t figure out and had...
I have a 9510 that I use in my capacity as a MSSQL developer. Works great, except the touchpad randomly becomes laggy and sluggish. The solution is just to take your hand off the touchpad for 15 seconds, or just use a mouse, which doesn’t have a problem.
The new movie actually addresses that by having his parents previously attempt to do “Gotham Renewal,” but it collapses into a corrupt mob slush fund and doesn’t actually help the disadvantaged at all. That’s why he fights with his fists - because they will never collapse into greed like his parents’ attempts at reform and reconstruction did.
It seems that people are very excited about the possibilities here and to be fair, I get it. Myself, John and Alex experienced FSR 3 on PC versions of Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, and in terms of image quality and frame-rate increases, it's clear that the technology is legit and it's definitely comparable to DLSS 3. And...
After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.
Even Halo 3, for all its faults (“to war” immediately springs to mind), kept everything largely within the world-building of the previous two games, and it made the whole trilogy feel super cohesive and immersive when played back to back.
During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They’d give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.
I once speculated to a friend about 15 years ago that eventually solid state storage space would be so fast that it could serve as active memory. I can’t wait to tell him.
Lots of single-board computers. I think Pine64 has a RISC-V tablet coming out. And Framework, bless their souls, have floated the idea of offering motherboards for their laptops that are ARM64 or RISC-V. Let us hope and pray.
IDK man I’m a grown adult and I died 2,000 times before completing the game. I know I’m not the best player ever but giving it to a 5yo may lead to problems
