Linux is too mainstream nowadays, I’m moving to FreeBSD
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 week ago:
I mean, for that pretty much everyone uses Windows VMs on Windows as well

And drivers too. Yeah, we’ve got the big stuff covered, Intel, AMD, NVidia all release Linux drivers. But peripherals manufacturers mostly target Windows, maybe macOS, but leave Linux driver to be developed by the community.

I mean, they already lost the war to Linux on infrastructure, those are billions they never made. It’s not unlikely for them to lose the desktop as well.

I guess ESCs, motors and rotors are the only parts that are so specific to be hard to source otherwise.

It’s also super easy to die when your car falls off a jack and you’re working underneath, but we don’t forbid homemade oil changes nonetheless.
And the when we had CRTs maintenance was actually encouraged, one of the oldest TVs I remember using had circuit schematics in the manuals.

It could have worked with a more measured approach, but they’ve been stupid about it.

A friend had me try his quest 3 (I think?) and for the 15 minutes I used it, it was amazing (except I could see the pixels, he said it was impossible and that it must have been a focus issue, but, well…).
Of course I would never buy anything made by Meta, so I’m waiting for the Steam Frame, but it’s definitely and interesting technology!

I think that reasoning works for PSUs as power conversion may use the same components (do datacenters even run on AC power tho? Or do they run DC and then step down?), but most consumer CPU coolers are milled alluminium plus a fan, the only overlap I can imagine are the heatpipes.
- Comment on After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes 1 week ago:
Idk, even browsing the web nowadays takes a shitton of processing power
- Comment on Good News: Study Shows That Most Men Are Not Toxic 1 week ago:
