- Comment on Clevo reseller wants get coreboot ported, ends up throwing a temper tantrum and banning Germany, Texas and AMD over unsatisfactory experience 4 weeks ago:
Do they expect someone to work at cost for them? Running a company has overhead.
It sounds like they know what the code should do generally, but either didn’t design it to be debuggable or have no idea what they are doing.
Everyone has their own way of doing things and when you commit you need to make sure you deliver a quality product.
Bug hunting sucks, especially with other people’s design.

Look in the OS provided “App Store” first - GUI or not, your choice.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Look for a TRUSTED alternative App Store source. Then check the App Store again.
Still can’t find it? Look to see if there is a package available that your OS can recognize (different based on what flavor of Linux you’re running)
Still can’t find it? See if you can find the code to build the dang thing yourself.

It’s a different paradigm for windows users. “Why won’t this exe/msi install on my computer?”
But also, once you realize the unlimited potential to customize it’s pretty special. I, for one, hate using anything without a tiling windows manager.

Hi, I’m a programmer. Most of my classmates didn’t know how to use Linux.
Now, I’ve realized that newer products are being developed via Visual Studio so……
Linux and command line knowledge aren’t the same as being tech savvy

How does that even work? I’m glad lives were saved but the system must have something I’m missing.
If there is a button on the back of the badge with your picture on it, you can’t use someone else’s badge. It also means there are electronics in the badge, and therefore a battery.
Over time batteries will die and the badge system will become useless unless everyone gets new badges once a semester.

- Comment on How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty? 2 months ago:
No, there is no way to store more stuff on PCs.
