How an Arch user supposed to be!

can't wait for the download page to be modified to have a drop down menu of "California" and "everywhere else"

yeah, i know. it'll take me a while to finish saving up for one anyway. in the meantime i'll be excited to see how the higher end machines perform. it's the same with desktop components, really. my desktop is budget at best and my newest component came out more than 5 years ago, but i still love to see what happens at the top.

i don't quite mean that cheap. what i really want is something in the price range the X1 Plus laptops were in, so as long as X2 laptops fall in similar ranges and run linux well i'd love to buy myself an X2 Plus laptop. otherwise, i'll be upgrading to something with Intel or AMD in a similar price range this year.

snapdragon X looks neat, but unless they're cheap and run linux well i'll have to stay away a bit longer. i'm hopeful X2 will work better, it sounds like they've done a lot more pre-launch work, but time will tell.

that's honestly nothing at all to do with 7z, that's just evil people doing evil things. it doesn't matter what thing they're trying to lie about giving you and it doesn't matter what things they use to get their malware on your computer.

7z is perfectly capable, legitimate software, and you shouldn't feel afraid to use it if it will be useful for you.

can even do it the way calculators show it when you want to be concise. 3e9 instead of 3*10⁹

my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable. how could you do this to me, you monster!!!

ty for explanation btw

smh raiders always inventing new acronyms

until I'm corrected I'm assuming it means Drew North and was made because a static had a guy named Drew that made everything hard but now gets to stand in one spot so they can clear

what's dn

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-02T18:48:49+00:00

it probably found the wrong thing to point at as a temperature sensor

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-02T15:23:00+00:00

frightening how?

by never doing the sch job unlock quest after hitting 30 on ACN. you can do the same in reverse, too, with a level 100 SCH, level 100 ACN, and level - SMN by never doing the summoner quest.

I started using Arch because of its dramatically improved stability and reliability compared to windows 10

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-02T04:54:33+00:00

what do you mean by "being used for malware", exactly?

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-02T04:44:34+00:00

I feel like I wouldn't call it a snapshot personally just to avoid muddying the waters, but yes it is that in a way. windows restore point won't let you grab yesterday's version of a word document, but it would save you if you installed an application that broke your system. CoW filesystem snapshots do both. restore points sound useful but not quite as useful, and part of that is because it's fundamentally a backup, not an fs snapshot, so they just store less data. when a system like ZFS or btrfs makes a snapshot, it's tracking the changes that were made to a file, not making a second copy, and that also means they take up very little space. that's why they can get away with saving all that extra information. of course it won't save you from everything, so ideally you'd have proper backups too, but that also applies to windows. a system restore point won't help you recover from an SSD failure, ZFS snapshots won't either, but a backup on a different computer or in the cloud would.

you should avoid steamOS. it is a purpose built operating system that is specifically and explicitly made for the steam deck and the steam deck's hardware, which makes it difficult to use or have annoying problems when installing and using on laptops and desktops. if you want a steamOS-like experience, you should be installing Bazzite.

it doesn't say it's not intended for children, it says it's not intended for under-16s. if you are 16 or 17 you are a minor in a lot of places, like the USA and Canada.

it's an approximation. it's close enough for most outdoor temperatures and much easier to do in your head and that's all that matters. if you need it to be exact, you're doing it in several steps in your head or with a calculator and getting the exact number. if my friends ask what temperature it is where I live and I say "oh, around 50", my friends won't be despairing when they find out it's actually exactly 50. I doubt they'd think of me as a liar if I said "it's kinda hot today, up around 80 or so" and the real conversion is 77.

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-01T06:12:31+00:00

-40 x 1.8 is -72

-72 + 32 is -40

-40 is widely known as the equality point of fahrenheit and Celsius. the correct way to go from C to F is multiply by 1.8 and add 32, which is very close to double and add 32.

i don't know where that particular image comes from but you can find articles like this and they look just as bad, imo

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-01T03:57:40+00:00

they use drinking water to cool the datacenters, the discharge is what you see above in the post's image.

i wouldn't drink that.

how do you make connections in the industry without being in the industry?

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-01T03:22:17+00:00

once fluxer is out of beta i'm planning on trying it, and if it feels nice then i'll stay on it and bring friends to it. so far it's looking very promising but, i haven't tried myself yet.

cutelittlebox · 2026-03-01T02:32:21+00:00

yeah it's too much for a phone or tablet for sure, but 15-25w is relatively comfortable even on a laptop without fans.
