- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
My machine is 7 years old and runs fine on Windows 11. I don’t understand all these posts about Windows 11 not being supported. TPMs have been a thing for 10+ years now.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
Microsoft will extend support once the deadline is near, for enterprise customers.

So it’s better to put more lives in danger so that there can be someone to blame?

Do you tag all communities “linux”?
- Comment on FCC restores net neutrality rules that ban blocking and throttling in 3-2 vote 6 months ago:
Because elections are coming up, why else?
- Comment on FCC restores net neutrality rules that ban blocking and throttling in 3-2 vote 6 months ago:
True companies do not pay per packet but they do pay for the bandwidth. The more users that use more bandwidth consistently means the ISP needs to invest more money on throughput/links. If you have 100 users and they use 1 mbps on average you can get away with a 100mpbs link. If you have 5 users using 50mpbs on average now you need a gig link. So technically it’s not free but yeah bandwidth caps suck big time. My suggestion would be to pick a place to live near a city with a municipal broadband option.

The Toshiba x300 is a consumer drive, the drive they are offering is an enterprise grade storage drive. I have only bought enterprise or nas speed drives in the past. Consumer drives may not be built to the same standards.

I’m running Raid z2;and have considered even z3 which should be plenty of redundancy for older drives. Well that and backing up data to a separate location.
- Comment on 12TB for $80 - serverpartdeals.com 7 months ago:
That drive could run another 5 years without any problems.

A piece of history
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
If you have a quality bit and quality fastener it’s quite difficult to cam out a Phillips. The issue is that finding quality bits and fasteners can be difficult and expensive so most people have experience with the homeowner grade which cams out easily without a huge amount of pressure.
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 8 months ago:
Which in turn replaces people. What happens if a person is 50 percent more productive with AI? Is the company going to let them simply have 50% of the workload they would before, or will they lay off the other unneeded employees?
- Comment on Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent' 8 months ago:
Sure it may produce a game but much of what makes a game good is making it fun and memorable. If we can eventually create a general AI then absolutely I think such a thing is possible. Otherwise it will be a copypasta mishmash and having a cohesive and fluent design is a huge if.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
It works, just not as well as it does in Windows. Mapping buttons and controls is a pain without the Wacom control panel.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
And that would be supported on Windows 11. We are talking about PCs without TPM chips which are from 2014.

My Wacom tablet doesn’t work properly, neither does my Canon Pro 1000 printer. I’ve also had a few issues with my graphics drivers and games.

That doesn’t compute here. Like I have literally 0 problems with Windows. That’s certainly not been my experience with Linux. Oh bought a new drawing tablet, nah that won’t work. Oh need to update for firmware on a device, yeah better have windows. Oh you bought a recent printer, better not use Linux.

Uh I don’t have time or wish to subject myself to the frustration that is Linux. I’ve tried it at least 5 times in the past 10 years and strongly prefer Windows.
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
The system requirements are like any system from the last 6 years. Are people really using computers this old? I hear a bunch of people commenting about businesses but at least at the companies I worked at we never had machines older than 4 years old. Seems kind of overblown.
Oh yea and bring on the down votes. I understand this is Lemmy and anything that challenges the hatred of Windows is met with extreme disagreement.
- Comment on Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbot 8 months ago:
It’s called a prevailing wage request and one is required before an overseas worker can be considered for a position in the US.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
Yes but i think reddit is many times more valuable than Lemmy. I just haven’t found the same level of very specific subreddits that have lots and lots of activity. Most of the traffic here is memes, politics, news and Linux lovin. On reddit if I needed to find a community about my local town it’s no problem and there are tens or hundreds of daily posts. The same community does exist on Lemmy but the last post was 6 months ago.
- Comment on Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs 9 months ago:
I use Windows because I prefer it over Linux. I mainly play games on my PC and Windows never gives me any issues. I don’t need to have any compatibility layers and overall there is no hassle.
- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 9 months ago:
Why is it superior to Li-Ion? Li-Ion has an energy density of up to 180.

Maybe you can’t, what headphones/avr setup do you have?
- Comment on Music Piracy Is Back, Baby 9 months ago:
“The problem isn’t price. People just don’t want to pay for a bad experience.”
The experience using a paid service is way better than pirating, let’s be honest here. The problem for some people is price.
- Comment on Apple Watches with blood oxygen tech are banned again 9 months ago:
The blood oxygen sensor on the watch is novelty and is not a medical device. It’s not accurate enough to provide any actual medical help.

No fast food restaurants around you? I worked as a bagger for a year, then made pizzas for like 2 more years.
