Are you me?

This is so correct, and upon reflection adds to the bad effect.

The movie was ruined for me when he launches a rocket into a star that looks to be about 1au away and the rocket gets there in like 15 seconds. Dont tell me that ish was warp-capable.

I use an M1 (Pro 14" 8 core 16GB) with Asahi. It’s extremely usable. WiFi is solid. Sound is solid. I never considered keyboard to be an issue… Its not. Things like brigtheness buttons still work. I have a tonne of USB devices and none of them had issues. I don’t think the fingerprint reader or the built-in camera work but I can test them if that’s a sticking point.

I very much like it and it’s easy to switch into OSX if you’re so inclined. I do for photo work. I know there are alternatives. I’m working on it.

The things I would warn about:

1. in my experience, battery life is worse. Maybe around 1/2 of what OSX gets. With my overall battery health around 80%, I think I’m getting 4 hours in Asahi.

2. this could actually be a skill issue (Linux newb) but I’ve had trouble installing certain packages in Fedora and Python and I assume it has to do with the M1 being ARM-based

Edit: remembered some things. As of the newest version, gaming is much MUCH better. I think you can do 720p or on medium or 1080p low with decent frames by just using proton on Stream. That’s wild to me.

In case you didn’t know, Asahi is the Linux distro designed for Apple Silicon Macs. Its based on Fedora with KDE as the desktop so it has a solid backens and a familiar but customizable interface. Its extremely simple to install and is beginner friendly.

That’s a really promising idea but the article only presents one use case…

Also it’s hard not to meme this. Like “what else will they think of? Touching grass…”

Microsoft is a collection of fiefdoms, each led by a Lord (Product Manager) who drive projects which have two possible motivations: 1) promotion 2) bonus. Quality is not a factor and hasn’t been for decades. Cohesion? No. The lords sometimes fight amongst themselves. They serve the line go up. Everything is line go up. There is no bottom to the products. Line must go up

While I get that SO can be monstrously unhelpful, database optimization is a whole profession so I think we need a bit more to help

A few directions we could go here: Post your SQL query. This could be a structure or query issue. Best case, we could do some query optimization. Also, have you looked into indexing?

Where are your bottlenecks coming from? Is your server desined for a I/O intensive workload like databases. Sequential read speed is not a good metrix.

What about concurrency? If this is is super read/write intensive, optimization could depend on where data is written while you’re reading

Look into a VPS + pangolin or headscale Also, check out Crowdsec

Would you be willing to share which one can be had for that cheap?

!Rich Evans was literally on my screen as I was reading your comment!<

Home Assistant is - by far - a better home automation platform than anything else I’ve tried. Most of them cannot integrate with as many platforms and your ability to create automations is not as powerful.

Folks will argue that it’s harder. I argue back that if you buy a hub with it pre-installed, your setup experience is as easy or easier than HomeKit or Google Home or maybe Alexa.

this is the most responsible idea. i love it

that’s a great idea re: music. i use a ton of Chromecast audios and, when Google “forgot to update the certs” I was SOL

How can one reproduce this?

It’s not often discussed that Microsoft, Amazon, and other ‘very cool’ tech companies still practice this 80s firing the bottom 10% bull.. It has nothing with being a low performer, but everything to do with culling jobs indiscriminately and creating an in/out culture. Managers are forced to place employees into bottom performance slots, sometimes arbitrarily, so that teams/groups/departments fit the bell curve nicely. Then, people get fired, bonuses go out, and everything is peachy at the end of the fiscal yesr.

Let that stew for a few years and these behemoths are factories of pet projects and crunch culture. Your long-timers are either golden performers who’ve seen massive churn and project turbulance OR they’re climbers, willing to step on top of anyone or burn any project to climb the ladder or at least keep their spots.
