  • If you're concerned about AI running in the system you should delete Windows from the computer before ever logging in.

    The "Ryzen AI" brand is just what AMD decided to call their current lineup of CPUs, they are all called that and it doesn't really mean much or guarantee that you can run a model locally.

  • I get the same pain for Windows issues, except that Linux is made to be understandable because, as a volunteer effort, it depends on being understandable to reproduce itself. So you find well-reasoned answers in a wiki or a mailing list or a stack overflow post instead of a bunch of clueless guesses to reboot and run sfc scannow.

    tldr use it in your desktop and it will become a lot easier on the server :)

  • Step 1. stop using Windows.Step 2. "sorry idk I haven't used Windows in 15 years."Step 3. no more tech support requests.

  • Is there something similar to Jianpin (简拼) input for English?

    Jump

  • Ah, I understand.

    I has to be modified to make completions in the middle of words, and split joined words.

    It doesn't sound so difficult to do…

  • Is there something similar to Jianpin (简拼) input for English?

    Jump

  • In Linux there's the "typing booster" IME that works almost exactly like this. As a side effect it handles diacritics and emoji.

    As an aside, I don't like it. Without it, some uncommon words take more dexterity to type fast without assistance, but pinyin input has the same issue. And without it I get to do all the micro-choices on what my text looks like; it has a (not distinct but) deliberate style.

    All these 'predict the next word' technologies have a deep but insidious averaging impact on style, and the lack of practice produces dependence (de-skilling). The same thing has already happened to the 汉字 languages, though earlier because they've been using predictive technology from the beginning of computing: regional variants of characters are disappearing, and most people can't write intelligibly by hand anymore.

  • That's so annoying, how can you judge the relevance of a result when it's been digested by the plagiarism machine.

  • Cheap Web Hosting/Design?

    Jump

  • I liked migadu.com as an email server, although it's very small and doesn't always get through the Google spam filter. It's in switzerland which is a very good jurisdiction about privacy laws.

  • [Solved] "[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface" after login before getting booted back to the login screen

    Jump

  • The problem is probably unrelated to the firmware, and caused by some other upgrade.

    After experiencing the issue, you should be able to switch to a different tty with ctrl-alt-f6 (or any other f key), log in, and check journalctl -b for an error message. Edit: Use the End key or shift-G to scroll to the end of the journal.

  • Are leechers more likely to connect to seeders w/ faster uploads or is it equal opportunity?

    Jump

  • The leecher will keep trying to connect until it reaches its configured limit. So for a torrent with 10 seeders, you will certainly be connected to.

    You can win over faster seeders by configuring your client to use TCP instead of UDP (µTP), and your operating system to an aggressive TCP congestion control algorithm like BBR.

    If you do this you'll saturate your upload and win over every other peer using µTP or cubic/reno TCP, even if the peer is very far away.

  • watching pirated streaming sucks compared to OG torrent way

    Jump

  • downloading whole 8 seasons when I want to watch series is kinda off

    You can untick every episode except the first few when you download.

    You can also download a torrent sequentially and play it while it's downlading but it's fiddly.
