Yeah but since they aren’t upgradeable anymore, you’re often kind of limited by the 8gb of RAM they often come with.

It’s also difficult to know how much life an SSD still has in it even if one day I could be tempted by a second hand M Mac and Fedora Asahi..

Oh I’m clearly not getting rid of my Surface Go for the next five years at least since it’s a perfect little computer to hook up to a screen and easily transport when needed.

I was just saying that now I’d be wiser and do more research about Linux compatibility before buying, even second hand 😇

You have a lot of incredible Macs waiting to be grabbed for cheap after Apple discontinued support.

Before converting my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro to Linux, I never thought it would be possible. I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s just a shame the latest ones aren’t upgradeable. Apparently the last easily upgradeable one was the 2012 MacBook and the 2019 MacPro..not sure though..

I use an upgraded 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora and it’s very easy to install.

You still have a few caveats if you wanna use some specific software like Ventoy or Clonezilla. Otherwise it’s really easy.

Yeah you’re clearly right.

But when I bought it in 2019 during my separation I was short on time and money and I didn’t thought I’d go back to linux after a few years iatus.

Now I’d try to buy a nice second hand linux friendly machine 😇

I hope it’s still the case as I have Tidal subscription, but they were the ones giving the most money per stream to the artist.

I wouldn’t want to move to another streaming platform unless they are even better for artists.

It was working okay until 2-3 weeks ago, but there were always a few disconnection issues or the mouse would take time to be detected on startup.

The Surface Kernel was an improvement over the stock kernel, but it never really solved everything.

If I go back to wired, I’ll just reverse to the stock kernel.

Well I clearly know that wired is way more reliable and efficient for a lot of things. I’d never charge my phone without a wire for instance.

Still I’m happy to have wifi at home or wireless controllers for my Playstation 5.

Depending on how your home is set up, it can be awful to have cables everywhere.

Yeah reddit is often appearing in my search results when I look for something and I don’t mind looking at Reddit posts that way, even if I’m not interacting anymore.

It’s true that you have a lot of pretentious and non open minded people on Lemmy. Of course if you just say that Linux isn’t useful, I can’t blame them for telling you politely the contrary 😅

I guess I’ll go with a second hand wired mouse but I don’t like that I’m giving up on bluetooth on Linux. It feels like something which should be a given.

The same Microsoft Mobile Mouse works perfectly with my MacBook Pro 2012 with Fedora on it..

A lot of negligible things added together can make a lot.

My computers are perfectly up to date by just running the software update manager while using them.

But of course, being veggie, not having kids, biking or walking has a bigger impact than just turning off your computer.

As I have two lovely kids and my work involves a lot of car travel, I can’t blame you for not turning off your computer though 😇

Okay in such a case I understand why these machines shouldn’t be turned off.

But, for normal people using their computers for admin/gaming, I still think it’s one of the easy ways of saving a bit of energy.

I’ve migrated from Reddit last year, and I can tell you that these results make me appreciate Lemmy even more.

It’s the same as Reddit but without any advertising 🥰

Now it would be nice to have nore communities outside of tech related ones.

Why would they be idiots for wanting to turn these computers off?

If the computers aren’t running something important while not in use, I think they should turn them off as we’re already wasting far too much energy.

I might be missing something, but it sounds like leaving your car running or leaving lights on in your home the whole year.

I feel like it’s such a waste of energy when powering off your computer when you’re not using it is so easy.

What I find crazy is that on Playstation you got Gran Turismo in 2022 I think and there’ll be no other concurrent until Asseto Corsa Evo in probably 2026.

I’ve already so many hours of going around the Ring in GT7, but I’d really h’love an extension with a new career mode and new trophies until Asseto Corsa Evo.

Well the magic of a remake is that you can still poay the old game if you’re not happy with it😅

I have no problem with remakes as long as they aren’t just trying to grab some cash from you without any work.

I’ve really enjoyed the Final Fantasy VII remakes or the Planet of the Apes remakes. Yes they aren’t perfect, but it feels like some passion was put into these projects.

As long as we aren’t just getting remakes, I have nothing against it. And sometimes remakes even have more originality than another generic game.

Could be for some games, but it doesn’t apply to games which had the resume activities and were still exposing you a thousand times to the same screens.

Also, at this point, they don’t know what game mode you’re gonna play so I don’t think they can load much except the general menu.

What I really don’t understand is how crazy it is in 2024 to have to go through the same screen telling you who’s the developer and publisher of the game even after 150 hours of playing time.

I think we should have an option to go to certain parts of the game directly in the welcome screen from your Playstation.
