Anything that provides pleasure and triggers the reward center of the brain can be addictive. There’s no need to single out porn in that discussion.

Microsoft has 18 months to convince folks to upgrade.

They’ll be lucky if I boot my Windows 10 partition between now and 18 months.

Yeah I remember those early days. KDE had a 1.0 version out in the late 90s, which was perfectly usable as a standalone desktop environment, while at the same time Gnome was little more than a panel with a foot. Early Gnome was an unholy mess and remained so until the late 2.x versions in the mid 2000s. Like how many window managers and file managers did they go through? I believe they even had Enlightenment as the default window manager for a while, and then there was that weird Ximian desktop phase.

On my QK80 mechanical keyboard I could do this:

echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

Maybe your keyboard driver has a similar parameter?

Belgium, 48. I drive a manual transmission. I never had a car with an automatic transmission.

See my edit.

I don’t think that’s the case anymore.

I just checked, the time in the UEFI BIOS is in UTC, yet both Linux and Windows 10 display the local time correctly as an offset to UTC. I didn’t have to do anything special for that.

Edit:

So I looked a bit deeper into it, and this is apparently controlled by a registry key called RealTimeIsUniversal in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]. You can paste the text below in a .reg file and then import it to set the parameter:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

I confirmed that this setting exists on my system, but I have no memory of ever manually setting this parameter. It’s documented in the Arch wiki though, so it’s possible that I did set it and forgot about it.

In any case, if you do a fresh Windows install and your time differs between Linux and Windows , this is what you should check.

Should probably also mention that his wife, Telsa Gwynne, was diagnosed with cancer around the time he retired and she sadly passed away in 2015.

There, saved you a click.

What’s a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

Ok, so you don’t know what FUD means.

You can disagree with the comment above, but it’s not “FUD”, it’s just criticism.

So how many sockpuppet/bot accounts do you have? Every comment you post immediately gets a +4. There’s absolutely no way that less than 1 minute after you post a comment on a Lemmy post that’s already downvoted to shit immediately gets 4 genuine upvotes unless you’re manipulating it.

Edit: and now the fake insta-upvotes on his comments disappeared, someone’s getting rid of the evidence lol

You are not credible.

Learn how to disagree.

I’m not going to lend idiots like Clayon Morris any credibility by arguing their position in good faith when they didn’t arrive at their position in good faith in the first place.

Knowing the source is enough to discredit and discard this video. They’re vatniks. They produce garbage. Garbage belongs in the garbage bin. The end.

Why, you a vatnik or something?

lol vatnik garbage

SSDs are way more reliable than spinning disks

That’s true, with one caveat: if an SSD fails, it’s usually catastrophically and without warning. HDDs usually give some warning signs before they fail completely (bad sectors, read/write errors, strange noises).
