I've been working 9-5 and taking 1 hour for lunch for the last 6 years but recently I saw my job description and it says 9-6 (with 1 hour lunch) so 🤷

This brought me memories. In college I had a Dell Mini with Intel atom 1st get. It was useless to run engineering apps like matlab or solidworks

I installed OSx86 and those apps ran a lot better using parallels than running natively on Windows, I was even able to play some games on it

Installed Mint last week after a ~10 year hiatus from using Linux (other than Debian on RPi)

I was surprised at how everything just works, even my network HP all-in-one worked after a simple "search for printer" and it also added it as a scanner without any input from me. In windows I had to install HPsmart software, login every few days for some reason and then some days it just refuses to work altogether

I also connected it to my home theater and I was able to set up 5.1 sound without any additional installations. In windows it took me several hours to fix this and sometimes the link between the laptop and the HT would be cut for some reason in the middle of a movie and I had to restart everything

He is from Sonic!

Do you? I don't own any apple device but I was able to reset the password on my very old account to use apple tv+ on my LG TV

I think Mexico too, or at least the paper name is "carta" and "oficio" which would translate to letter and legal (kinda)

Samsung's replacement is $90 if done at a service center, so it was more expensive to buy the parts (because they included the screen for some reason)

Looks good! I'll give it a try this weekend, thanks!

Edit: I just installed it, it looks great! I find it very funny that one of the apps I was worried about was the HP scanner and it worked seamlessly on mint without installing additional drivers or apps so I can stop using that stupid HP app

Edit2: I also found out that my windows installation (system, drivers, updates, other files that I cannot delete safely) takes about 70Gb out of my 250GB SSD, even after running many commands to try to clean it up

It's a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)

I think I'll do the same. I wasn't switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don't run natively and I don't use them that often

Which distro do you recommend? I haven't used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that's not the go-to anymore?

it tracks with the discussion of medication dosages, which would be weirdly personal otherwise.

That's fair

All of those examples are people you usually specifically select. "The barista" should be fine

Of course they do. They sell them equally expensive without the expensive ingredients!

For example:

If it opened on the default browser it would be several times less infuriating, but clicking on anything by mistake and then waiting for Edge to open with all the prompts because you never use it makes me furious

My last name ends with ar so I tried to get a .ar domain to setup a personalized email but it seems like they are reserved for government stuff, I was only allowed to get .com.ar (last time I checked this was about 4 years ago)

I love this channel too: https://youtube.com/shorts/xhrLfnZXV24?si=p7hvr771hJRGJ3vT

Basically same. I also tried sync and another one that I can't remember but I stayed with Voyager
