  • Only one generation knows how to fix tech...

  • Gen X - who, let's face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.

  • Anyone know a good modern day MP3 player?

  • FiiO make a pretty nice line of digital audio players.

  • Anyone have the new c64?

    Jump

  • I think that's generally right, if you just want to play games. I own a MiSTer and really like it; it's convenient, it's quick, and it's really accurate. Where the single-core FPGA systems like the Spectrum Next and C64 Ultimate really come into their own is in things like physical peripherals and the tactile experience of the case and using the keyboard and so on. If that's not important to you, then a MiSTer is going to be a better buy.

  • Just got a new GPU, why is it so hard to use it?

    Jump

  • A few things in this post are not accurate. The 5070 is supported by the nVidia Linux drivers since version 570.124.04. There's also absolutely nothing wrong with using Ubuntu. They have a PPA for the newer nVidia drivers, which work fine with the current LTS release.

    OP doesn't say what kernel they're running, or what version of Ubuntu. That would be useful information to have.

  • How come nobody does anything about North Korea?

    Jump

  • Because - improbably, given its track record elsewhere - the world has worked out that the solution to someone killing kids isn't to kill more kids.

  • What problems can I expect using Linux (Fedora) with an NVIDIA GPU?

    Jump

  • No real issues if you're using X. Some troubles with Wayland, I've heard, but haven't been able to test it personally. You might need to install the proprietary drivers if you want to play games, but that's easy enough to do.

  • Is it safe to upgrade to paid version of a distro if I'm dual booting?

    Jump

  • Depends what you're talking about. If it's something like Zorin OS, then yes, it's fine. If you're talking about switching from Fedora to RHEL, it's a bit more complex.

  • "No"

    Jump

  • That is a sensationally good idea.

  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

  • Got all my docker containers on an i3-4130T. It's fine.

  • This is a post by a person who has no experience whatsoever of managing enterprise IT. Businesses use Windows because of Active Directory, and InTune, and MS 365. The client-side OS itself, and its horrible usability problems, are irrelevant.

  • Mess with the furries at your peril; they run the Internet.

  • What's the best "fuck you world" song of all time?

  • [Silly Thought Exercise] What over-the-top absurd person would you choose to replace Biden who you think could actually body Trump, and why?

    Jump

  • Hell yes. All Vetinari would have to do is raise an eyebrow.

  • No, as Mandy.

  • Taylor Swift. Not that I think she's absurd. I just think she'd have absolutely zero time for Trump's bullshit, and would probably write some very cutting lyrics about it.

  • Shortest license agreement ever.

    Jump

  • You wouldn't believe the amount of legal ink that has been spilled trying to work out what the fuck the Do What The Fuck You Want To licence actually means, legally.

  • Looking for some Google Workspace alternatives

    Jump

  • It involves spending money, but I wonder whether a Synology NAS might suit you rather well? Synology Drive, Synology Photos et al make a pretty respectable replacement for the Googles.
