And turning social media into a propaganda platform.

Same question for me. I’ve never heard this.

Exactly. My printers are currently very pissed off at me for some reason and even in their current state, they could do better than this.

Yea no. By the time China can duplicate what NVIDIA has, they won’t need that kind of power anymore since the models will be better and more efficient. China is acutely aware of this so they aren’t actually aiming to beat NVIDIA on raw performance. Just cost. And if they do that they will win.

NVIDIA doesn’t have a strategy for when this AI bubble bursts but is quite clear China does.

Didn’t canonical try this years ago?

Trains help poor people too. We like to pretend we don’t have poor people. Makes them easier to ignore while pretending to be Christian.

Because idle that takes off and becomes a threat to their business model, they will just lobby to make such a thing illegal.

Dude, you get free third party bullshit with every update. What’s not to love?

The cloud has one plus in modern infrastructure. It gives you someone else to blame for shit breaking. My old boss told worded it best. “I want just one throat to choke”

Sounds like ITT technical institute. God I hated working with the "graduates" they put out. Absolute morons.

Don't distros like ubuntu and fedora tie into active directory pretty cleanly anymore? You could use your schools existing infrastructure with linux clients

When I was a kid, what was more familiar didnt matter. We used macs in schools. My little brother comes in and it was all Dells with windows, but the school had decided the teach MS office and OpenOffice side by side because "Microsoft is not the future."

It's in a red state so that initiative didnt last long. They went full MS later and regretted the decision ever since. Others have shifted to chromebooks but that district is still on microsoft crap now for the same reason they still waste time teaching cursive: Older Karens with no knowledge but lots of opinions.

SCCM is on life support. Microsoft wants everyone to use autopilot now and many places cant or wont use cloud shit. I actually worked for a place that couldn't use it for legal reasons.

We set up a FOG server and that was that. Fuck the cloud.

netbooting an install image and running a script probably wouldnt have been too hard

I've actually been using linux with older customers for years. It solves several problems. First, it lets them get more life out of their older machines. Second, its free. Third, the kind of malware that targets linux systems isnt really a factor for little old man on facebook. Finally, when scammers call, they cant establish credibility with my customers. They get in, remote access barely works thanks to wayland not liking their tools yet. The entire system looks different and the commands are different so they dont understand how it works but the customer does. So the scam falls apart where they try to prove they know what they are talking about because they cant use the terminal properly. It always ends the same way. My customers get suspicious and say "I'm going to call my computer guy" and the hang up.

This trick has been successful for years and my users are very happy not to have to deal with microsoft's bullshit. The fact that it confuses the hell out of scammers is just a nice bonus.

I can’t access my home server at all right now. I needed a distraction from all the bullshit in the world so I intentionally made it unstable so I would always have a puzzle to solve. I have a backup but I only use it when the puzzle breaks. That’s the rule I made for myself.

This distraction certainly delivers.

Get started early so you have time to acclimate and address issues. You are going to hate it if you urgently need your computer for something and something unexpected happens.

This is true. But they will have to send people out to get that drive and you will know about it. In the cloud, a government can take that data and the provider is forbidden from telling you.

I've read somewhere you can just solder a resistor across the antenna pins
