One big issue with retail computers coming with Linux is the kickbacks from the Windows ecosystem.

Things like AV trials and MS Office. I don’t know if they break even or make a profit on all the bloatware from a Windows based sale.

Wired is king.

If I gotta do wireless I get one with a RF dongle/base.

This reminds me of the wood chips delivery in the driveway bit…

Use case:

I want to set it up in my home so husband and 2 kids can access and share within GOG TOS.

Is there a feature to automatically download installers and patch files from GOG to the server?

Seems like a good feature to have to maintain an offline library.

And it’s only going to get WAY WORSE with LLM and Gen AI…

I hate this about new laptops…

I miss the old switch on the bottom.

Idk… He’s missing the /s

It seems satire tho.

That’s my biggest peev about JSON actually. No comments!! WTH!

And I LOVE that USB-C is uni-directional.

I tend to buy 90° connectors for all the things and it’s such a treat that USB-C is well designed.

Never stayed in a hotel?

As a kid. Me either… I think the first time I stayed on a hotel was my 20s

Yeeessssss…

Cover the paper label with packing tape (cheap mans laminate).
Use quick set epoxy for a better bond.

Support should be 5 years after End of Life or end of Manufacturing date.

Nice addition of solution.

In time Lemmy will replace reddit for tech questions. Give it a few years!

Last PC I built was fractal and it was a dream. Amazing quality.

Craziest Burger and shakes I’ve ever had were in Boston.
