yeeesh is this with Windows 10 and/or 11?

still not a fan of Windows

edit:
just remembered this is Windows 11, unfortunately I know some people that got forced to use it with most modern laptops

seems like it should be an opt-in setting in BIOS;

• HP might want to learn from the other OEM vendors what to do for BIOS/UEFI configuration

On the offhand chance that someone with a bricked HP laptop stumbles here looking for what to do (prob via smartphone or public library computer),

• I'd recommend on removing the M.2 SSD (gumslice-shaped PCB that contains your data) to protect your data
  • this can be found by googling your laptop's serial number and looking for the manual, after downloading the PDF file you'll be able to open it with Firefox
  • you'll typically need a philips-head screwdriver to remove the laptop's case and remove the SSD

I'm assuming the users might be coming from Windows

hopefully this helps someone out there

I would say mostly general, and it also depends on context and relevance

• like I'd send FFXIV memes to my friends who play it but not to anyone else.

For things that people aren't familiar with but is useful to know (like PC hardware) I tend to share fedi-links as sources/citations after providing context

EX:

1. [Powercolor Hellhound RX 7900 XT], [Partner Model 4070 Ti] - Value Comparison
2. [ZOTAC 4080 Super], [PowerColor’s Hellhound 7900 XT] - Value Comparison

I'm a nerd

I just share posts/comments that others find useful

huh

please correct me if I'm wrong
but wouldn't this pit Nvidia against Google?

• The Level1 Show June 7th 2024: The Eagles Aren't Coming
• [Arstechnica] - Nvidia denies pirate e-book sites are “shadow libraries” to shut down lawsuit

just curious but wouldn't it still be better for most users to consider migrating to Linux considering that

• Windows 11 is shit
• Windows 10 is going EOL on October 14, 2025?

The Windows 10 support on Ryzen 9000 to me seems like AMD's providing users a last hail mary to jump ship towards Linux before shit goes downhill as Windows 11 seems like a terrible decision to support considering Microsoft's countless terrible decisions

Edit

hmm based on the sizeable downvotes it looks like I fucked up

gonna have to reflect on this and see where I messed up

Just a heads up for anyone looking for updates!

😂 that's a great pic❤️

very adorable

Thinking about the cost of maintenance, liabilities, and ethical/moral decisions

• you couldn't pay me enough to take on that company

good luck to anyone else thinking otherwise

hmm

I'd say that I'm cautiously optimistic about this,

• I just need more information about IFTAS Connect like:

1. Why would I use this over Lemmy/Sublinks/BreezeWiki
2. Where's the source code and what's the license?

IFTAS News - May 29, 2024

"Comments are closed."

Also seeing things like ^this is what gives me hesitation in being able to trust them

• remember locked posts on Reddit and StackOverflow? yeah me too :/

I like the idea behind the project,

• but I just need more reasons as to why I can trust using this over what's currently available

Edit

As of June 7, 2024
Lemmy has implemented Local Only Communities

• As this is already open source under the AGPL-3.0 License there is even less reason to blindly choose to go with IFTAS Connect unless more information is provided otherwise

added this as well!

you’re doing some great post

no worries🤗

word needs to be spread about foss alternatives to commercial apps so people can have some alternative

hell yea!✊

thanks for the recommendations!

I added openshot and left out IFME (it doesn't seem like the devs understand software licensing unfortunately, the project's also a bit of a copyright landmine😅)

is this open source?

I wasn't able to find anything that indicated it as such, maybe I missed it somewhere?

if it isn't then I don't really see the point of this when the admins and mods already have an existing Matrix chat && we could probably just share info via our own c/Meta communities (or we could make another c dedicated for the same purpose)

thanks for the comment I'll add it to the post!

^me as I'm in the middle of editing and just about to add Gimp to the post when I see your comment😅

turns out their reputation isn't the only thing blowing up

same here🤗

Congrats!

Happy cake day!🥳✨

TL;DR:
Restarting your phone once a week can help improve performance and security.
