I've had good luck with Thinkpad, Latitude, and Elitebook laptops. I've actually got a pair of Elitebook 8440p machines left over from an old IT job. One of them I maxed out with an i7-740QM, 8GB DDR3, SSD, 1440x900 display, Nvidia discrete graphics, and all the extra options (except the little nib in the middle of the keyboard, like the Thinkpad Trackpoint... I hate those things).

You just have to look for business class laptops: Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell Latitude/Precision, HP Elitebook, and such.

This makes me want GOS even more. Fuuuuck I need to just do it. Rip the bandaid off.

In this day and age, the question should no longer be "will run on Linux?", rather "what's the best method for doing on Linux?"

Because - again, in this day and age - Linux is extremely capable and runs damn near the entire internet.

That didn't answer the question, my guy.

The point of standardized testing is not to learn more, but to see where the students stand in their respective educations.

Schools who cram in more testing for some perceived benefit are doing it wrong.

It's always "think of the children" when it comes to surveillance bullshit.

I have like 150GB of DDR3 spread over multiple 2/4/8/16GB sticks, I wonder if I can get that working for something like this 🤔

Its basically a one-click web installer. It literally could not be any easier than the early ROM days.

I know. I installed it on my wife's phone (on her request).

Stop being lazy!

But I don't wanna 😂

In all seriousness, I just need to go through all my apps and make sure what I need backed up is actually backed up, then I will feel confident enough to take the plunge. I haven't flashed a ROM on my daily driver device in quite a few years now... That process has come a very long way since 2010 hahaha.

I rooted my LG TV. Specifically a 65UT8000AUA from Costco.

When automated manufacturing systems break, I'm the guy they call to fix it..

Oh I already have a 9 Pro XL that I bought on release day directly from google. My wife has one as well and she already runs Graphene.

I'm just a lazy ass... 😅

The nut still looks like a nut, so all is not lost. It's just stuck.

Here's what you do:

1. Whip up a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone. It will separate after a time, so shake it vigorously before you use it. It's the ultimate penetrant solution.
2. Take that mix and soak the axle stub and nut with it. Get the back of the nut, too, where it meets the hub. Don't worry about making a mess. You want this to come off, right?
3. Wait 24-48 hours. Reapply ATF/acetone mix multiple times while you wait, and periodically smack the stub with a hammer for good measure. You want the penetrant in every nook and cranny it can reach.
4. When you're ready to remove the axle again, make sure your air compressor is fully charged and hit it hard with the impact gun. Hold the trigger until the compressor kicks on again, then hold it some more. Repeat as needed.
5. If it still hasn't budged, bust out the torch again (or borrow one) and heat that fucker until it's cherry red. Hit it with the impact gun while it's still glowing.

Repeat this process until it comes off. Chances are it'll pop loose by step 4. But keep that torch handy. Yes, it's more-or-less what you've already done, and it will come off if you keep at it.

I don't trust it to be accurate; I'd have to reference the sources it pulled from. Extra work for little payoff.

I wouldn't mind running a model at home, mostly to help document my setup. But I just don't trust it. So no.

Why would they match? The article is about VPNs and Utah's moronic attempt at policing them. A VPN routes your traffic through a different IP... I mean that's kinda the point...

Good god.

Systemd is an absolute godsend for people like me.

Destroying trust in the Linux kernel, for one.

I just rsync a full backup of my NAS's entire RAID array every week to a separate machine. I have Proxmox set up with an NFS mount to the NAS where it stores all of the /[userdata] volumes that my VMs and LXCs use; Proxmox itself is hosted on 3x office PCs, each with i7-7700/500GB SSD/32GB RAM, and set up for replication in case one goes down. On occasion I'll actually document which services I'm using, so I don't really bother backing those up since the volume(s) holding the userdata itself is backed up and can be easily remapped to a new instance of whatever service needs it.
