Apple Silicon Macs do a great job with virtualization. Outside of them there's just no nice high end hardware that's well suited for something like proxmox. It's either low end SBC, or the hyper proprietary ARM servers that I don't think we can even buy.

Phone? Some apps on iOS (and probably android) default to a scaled down version of the image when it's really large (or just tall in this case). On desktop it's legible but god damn has it been jpeged to hell.

What are you trying to run? a VPS is pennies, and a phyiscal server isn't much more. We have a bunch of servers that are $40 a month each and they come with 5 usable IPs, 32 gigs of ram, 1tb SSD etc. The cost of getting a static IP for home will be almost as much as a server. If you want less you can get less for a lot less money.

I've self hosted my own personal website for years now and it's not really an issue outside of the power going out and my IP changing. I just update DNS and move on. But if this is for an actual work? Just pay the $10 a month, not having to worry about it is worth that money.

100 is the max for going on any airplane in the US. But you can always bring a USB battery bank to get more runtime.

17" laptops are almost always tuned for "fuck battery life", but since a lot of 15" laptops grew into 16" ones they can still get reasonable battery life. If my P1 had an AMD CPU I'm sure it would get some incredible battery life.

8+ hours is actually feasible if you get a machine with a big battery. It's just the gamer laptops have terribly small batteries since they figure you'll never use them, and their CPUs aren't tuned for efficiency. If I'm just puttering around I can easily get 6-8 hours of battery life on my i9 4090 equipped ThinkPad P1. And my friend with an Asus G14 can easily get 10+, but that's with an AMD CPU.

But if anything even thinks of turning on my dGPU my battery life dies. And once it turns on it doesn't want to fully turn back off until I reboot.

  1. Almost everyone on uber eats (and similar services) mark up their items. This sausage burrito meal is $10 on uber eats and is 8 something in store

  2. Delivery fee 5.99

  3. tip (whatever you want to pay)

For a normal meal this will more than double the price. Order just about anything else and you’re easily at $30 with still almost half the price being the delivery.

DGPUs are also awful with modern standby. My RTX 4090 laptop gets almost the same battery life on as it does in “sleep” because the GPU won’t fully shut off. It’s so bad it just goes into hibernation after about 20 minutes.

It’s much better than my last laptop which would just overheat and crash when I tried putting it in sleep then in my backpack.

Install it in a VM. Create snapshots. When you fuck it up then revert the snapshot.

Once you're decent at figuring out what to and not to do then try to get proficient at file system snapshots so you can do the same thing more or less on bare metal.

I detested civ 6 on launch. I bought the dlc when it was cheap but idk if I’ll ever like that game. Hopefully 7 is good, but I’m definitely gonna wait until I read all of the reviews.

Not fighting yet, just training.

News organizations and politicians should think really carefully about publishing stories that make it seem like the United States is failed democracy.

Yes

Do you really believe that all it takes is one president and an aligned congress to completely destroy the country?

Yes

If so, the smart move would be applying for citizenship in a country that isn’t a failed democracy, and getting the fuck out.

I'm not giving up without a fight first.

 

I have an X61 Tablet and I'd like to get the original Lenovo recovery media for XP tablet edition (I think version 2005) mostly so I can get all of the drivers and functionality working.

I currently have an XP Pro install but that doesn't have any of the special tablet features. And my xp tablet edition install decided it doesn't want to work anymore and BSODs on start, and I don't feel like dealing with the hunt for old drivers.

Does anyone know where or how I can acquire isos or even the actual recovery CDs for this machine?
