Ah, "It's work on my computer" edition of LLM.

Yeah! I use JetBrains AI assistant sometimes, which suddenly showing only blank window, nothing else. So, not getting anything out of it. But I can see my credits are being spent!

IF I was totally dependent on it, I would be in trouble. Fortunately I am not.

And, the end result being devastation of forests, ecosystems, animal life, fast track climate change etc.

Implying that efficient agriculture is destroying the planet is a wild take

Is it not?

I don't think tractors are destroying the planet, no

First, it's not destroying the planet, because the planet will chug along just fine, but it's making the planet inhabitable for us.

Dynamite is an efficiency tool, but in the wrong hand, it's used in ways that are not good.

And, greedy people using the efficiency tools without caring for the environment are devastating the planet's ecosystem, e.g. Amazon Rain forest

And in similar vein, our "Tech bros" are using technology for their satisfy their greed, which is resulting in loss of our privacy, democracy, and force fed of their agenda.

They will prefer to band up with Google, and rip us off.

D'oh sudo shutdown

Linux: I give a damn about you're super critical nuclear reactor loading up, this computer is going down NOW

Systemd: “A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 1000 (1s / 2min)”

Ctrl-Alt SysRQ, Pause, o (off) for that.

Well it is still shutting down

It would actually be sudo shutdown -h now. Otherwise it waits a few minutes for the control rods to drop before it shuts off the coolant control.

That still does stuff like unmounting filesystems (which can take a minute with snap, if they haven't fixed it), you can go further with the (rather unsafe) SysRq key "o", which tells the kernel to shut down without any preparation.

That's quite interesting, considering that -h flag is usually related to showing help.

They don't have to worry about PC segments, if there are no personal computes.

Ram price has sky rocketed, and probably out of hand of most of the people Same with GPU, HDD price is increasing, so is SSD.

How many people can build a new PC next year? And Amazon CEO just said it out loud about cloud computers.

Even though they'll take my PC out of my cold dead hands. But as it seems they want to get rid of Desktops.

Microsoft isn’t going to declare death of the PC and pivot to “cloud computers”/virtual desktops (again) just because of temporary RAM/SSD supply shortages lol

> And Amazon CEO just said it out loud about cloud computers.

And Google said Stadia would have “negative latency”

They will do whatever that will let them get more money.

Who said they cares about consumers? There's also GeForce Now.

Why does it matter, my 15 year old laptop is still working fine. And if it goes down, there is still the hardware produced in the remaining 14 years.

Not the op, I've been gaming on Linux for over 10 years I think, I have an rtx2080, and using Arch Linux, Nvidia support has gotten better by a lot.

Steam performs exceptionally well. Initially there were issues, but I haven't face any for really long time now.

I don't play mp games though. So that part I can't say much.

Very useful info; much appreciated!

I had one client who's explorer didn't load, we tried different file browsers, all that used explorer as backend failed to load, only double commander (forgot the exact name, it's a dual pan file browser like midnight commander) that worked. And we couldn't find any solution online, at the end he was stuck with it for over an year, as it was not possible to reinstall.

On Linux everything is mostly decoupled, so this is not working not going to break the other thing, and I can replace it with something else.

People forgets that you're not working with a black box, unlike Windows

Most explorer issues are really file system issues. It's touchy. chkdsk in offline repair mode usually fixes it. For the rest, clear the thumbnail cache.

The ways Windows breaks are different from the ways Linux breaks, but there are still ways to fix it. Most of the rest are solved with one or two commands, and it's usually the same two: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-fil...

I did try those, but it did not solved the issue. But searching around I came to know, this was a rare known explorer bug. Which was not resolved ... so that's that.

Who's losing here?
