Some motherboards explicitly enable wake on LAN as a BIOS option. If not in the BIOS it’s going to be a bit harder, but the software option recommended, (the Archlinux forum link) looks interesting.

Yup, he was eating sodium bromide instead of sodium chloride. Any significant amount of bromide is not good for ya.

Depends on how much power is being transmitted to each base station, but it would have to be a colossal satellite to be “we’re all going to die”.

I pointed that out mostly as a limitation on how much power could be transmitted to each base station.

Microwave scattering is an absolute nightmare over that kind of distance. Even for much shorter distances, microwaves are only practical to transport over a couple of meters in a waveguide.

If its transmitting to a base station, we can assume it’s in geosynchronous orbit, or about 22,000 miles from the surface. With a fairly large dish on the satellite, you could probably keep the beam fairly tight until it hit the atmosphere, but that last ~100 miles of air would scatter it like no tomorrow. Clouds and humidity are also a huge problem – water is an exceptionally good absorber in most of the MW band.

I saw numbers reported for the transmission efficiency somewhere (will update this if I can find it again), and they were sub-30%. The other 70% is either boiling clouds on its way down, or missing the reviever on the ground and gently cooking the surrounding area.

My understanding is that they offer them all, but publishers havent been able to reliably get 8 or 16gb cards. Whether thats Nintendo being shady or some legitimate supply issue, I don’t know.

Nah, I’ve had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having…

Sure, but they can’t build Pandoc translation against an experimental format, so no LaTeX anytime soon.

Well, Typst is explicitly a no-go for anyone who has to submit a manuscript, until it they get a damn HTML representation, so Pandoc can get it to LaTeX. There’s practically nowhere I could use Typst except my own notes, and I’ve tried!

Yeah, mint uses synaptic. Works well in my experience.

Well, I doubt they’ll release one for my clippers since they’re discontinued, so that inspired me to go ahead and model a variable-depth one for myself. Based on some of the comments here, I thickened the comb blades to make them print more easily.

They havent released one for the razor I have, but honestly I might try modeling them myself. Doesn’t seem impossible, and I’ve been waning a deeper comb than they sell.

No no of course not, but it’s a compatibility layer for windows inside linux.

That…is wine.

…and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I’m not sure about that.

Well, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.

Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it’s worth.

I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they’re all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the “card of the right approximate era” thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.

It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.

Wait is the stupid lag in Word because it’s running on Electron now??? That explains so much.

Edit: after a little bit of searching, it looks like it just loads webview2 to avoid having to load it if you open any of the add-in search panels. So the lagginess of new word is just inexcusable.

Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.
