Or take a selfie, that’ll generate a picture of an ape!

Fun fact: Decimation is originally a Roman practice. It’s a form of punishment where every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.

The bastard Jack Welch implemented this as a business practice with a sanitized name: rank your team, fire the worst 10%, even if the team did great.

Shareholders cheered at this practice. They bought shares in droves when businesses literally decimated themselves. Shareholders are mostly glorified gamblers with a boner for hardship. Making employees suffer is just dandy, as long as it can be sold as an improvement.

My point is that shareholders usually don’t know wtf they’re doing. This doesn’t surprise me.

Super relaxed, that comes with the territory of not giving a fuck. Also I make good money.

This guy is me. Fuck your job. Take all you can, give nothing back.

Why bother with X? Just do l33t CLI h4xx0rs

Much cheaper, no electricity required, no ChatGPT generated clickbait horseshit AND you can kill flies!

Except for the larger companies you still need a bunch of trained experts in house to manage everything.

Yeah that’s my point. The elite assholes that run this world happen to be white, heterosexual men with Western sensibilities.

I also have those characteristics but that does not give me power or invalidate my problems.

This is needlessly divisive. Just because men share characteristics with a subset of people who opress and live life in easy mode does not mean they can’t be disenfranchised.

Install Terminal and NeoVim or WSL

The minimum requirements are there for them to set a lower limit on what they’re willing to support.

I agree and they’re free to do whatever they want. I get to have an opinion on their actions though.

What I take issue with is they are enforcing minimum specs because they’re choosing to put a bunch of stuff in the operating system that won’t run (well) below those specs. In other words they are choosing the job that the operating system has to do (GenAI in this case) and I think that is up to the user, not the OS vendor.

If the GenAI stuff they want to build in were optional then you could choose to purchase a cheaper computer or upgrade your existing hardware to a current OS. By going this route Microsoft is artificially inflating hardware requirements.

Anythjng that can’t do the job is literally 8+ years old.

So what? How about Microsoft lets me define what ‘the job’ is and I will decide for myself whether my machine is up to it? In my opinion the job of an operating system is to expose computing resources to whatever the user wants to do and then get the fuck out of the way.

Am I reading correctly that ARM is required?

There’s also compatibility mismatch between certain versions of clients and servers. That almost cost me a bunch of files. Thank RMS I had a local copy through syncthing.

Good bot

The difference is one hop. I think that’s how ISP’s measure it anyway. I’ll bet spoofing that number would bypass the restriction.

Or I’m hopelessly out of date.

Make sure the dir you are mounting to exists. If it doesn’t, create it with:

mkdir /mn

In the Netherlands, the ability to swap in your own modem is safeguarded by law. I have luckily not had to deal with this.

That said, would look to see if you can remove the whole top, seems to me it would be clipped in. Then place a matching size fan, or just undersized and 3D print a rim.

There’s a few ways to go, I have used dd in the past to clone the existing drive out to a disk image on a USB SSD, then installed the new SSD in the system and did the process in reverse (and then used gparted to expand the partitions out to size).

There’s also cloning devices that can do this but I’ve only ever done that with traditional 3.5" and 2.5" disks, not m.2.

Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup of your important data before you make any attempt.

I set this up for production on a factory floor for others to use. It’s nice, works extremely well once set up. Importing and exporting images could be easier.
