Yeah, it’s kinda like how you can go years without hearing any stories about someone winning a medal at the Olympics then suddenly the news is full of stories about people winning Olympic medals. Clearly it’s a conspiracy.
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 2 days ago:
This guy reminds me of an asshole I used to work for. The company was called ABC, say, so he set everyone up with ABC-Alice@gmail.com, ABC-Bob@gmail.com, and so on. He got really, really pissed off when ABC-NewStarter wasn’t available to the extent that he wrote non-stop emails to the person who registered it, Google, his solicitor, even the police demanding it be relinquished and moaned non-stop that the world wasn’t bending to his whim.
I’m not supporting Google - it’s annoying that they’re revoking a feature - but this is a real XKCD 1150 situation.
- Comment on Raspberry Pi Gets Desktop Form Factor 4 days ago:
The PSU isn’t just for the PI, but you’d not know that from the article which seems to have been written by someone with literally no imagination. If you’re looking for a setup that lets you use a RasPi as, say, a file server with a fibre channel card, or a media hub with a GPU that can transcode several streams at once, then it’s a really neat product and that justifies a decent PSU.

It is a fraction of a percent. ⁶⁰/₂%, for example.

It’s the same as having kids who don’t speak English as their first language, or having an EU passport so they have access to all the opportunities and freedoms that provides:
It’s a privilege reserved for members of the Inner Party only and will not be tolerated amongst the Proles.

- Comment on Would a cheap, used raspberry pi 3 make for a good test server for following random self hosted tutorials? 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s nothing sinister. Most user-facing business workstations run Windows and have a Windows COA or, more recently, have the Windows product key baked into firmware, so it’s easy-peasy for the seller to install a fresh, working copy of Windows. The Dell WYSE devices are Thin Clients, which are used to access Windows (or another OS) running on another PC or a server somewhere so the Thin Client doesn’t have or need a license; this means it’s not easy for the seller to install a hassle-free version of Windows since it will immediately start pestering the user for a license and for novices they’ll assume the computer is broken and return it. The lightweight Thin Client OS they use is neither use nor ornament outside an enterprise settings so they don’t bother reinstalling that. Obviously the seller could install Linux but the majority of people who are okay with Linux would probably sneer and say “ugh, Distro X? I only use Distro Y” and reinstall anyway, so it’s easier just to sell it without an OS.

Yeah, that’s pretty good. The only things I’d be wary of with that particular listing are that it doesn’t come with a power supply (these normally take laptop-style PSUs) and 64GB of storage might not be enough once you start to get to grips with it though you could easily upgrade the NVMe SSD (or hook up an external USB drive).
But aside from that it’s a smart little system and will handle a the setup I described with no issues. The J4105 can be sluggish with multitasking in a desktop environment but for ‘headless’ setups it’s excellent and uses very little power.
