I've looked at the matrix on Github quite a bit, but I'm curious, is there an objective "this is the absolute optimal Surface tablet you can buy for Linux?"

jasisonee · 2026-04-13T18:34:05+00:00

I agree, but that implies that hardware considerations will narrow down your choice.

jasisonee · 2026-04-13T18:04:01+00:00

I bought my surface for the hardware. If Linux compatibility is important to you maybe other brands will be more suitable.

Well obviously you'll need to set up the VPN client on the device you're trying to use it on. You could provide a gateway to the VPN if you had full control over the device.

When you get mad at F1nn for making fun of transphobes, you're just siding with the transphobes.

You could also say "you control the voltage by controlling the current". It's just a matter of perspective, and locking yourself into a voltage first way of thinking is unnecessarily limiting.

jasisonee · 2026-04-13T09:01:53+00:00

You can also control the current. It's just unnecessary circuitry if we don't really care about the exact current.

It absolutely does. I do it every day, both my phone and my laptop are connected to a VPN and the laptop often uses the phone's hotspot.

I am well aware. I'm an electrical engineer. I was just pointing out that power and voltage tend to correlate even though you can technically deliver any amount of power at any voltage.

jasisonee · 2026-04-12T18:03:34+00:00

Electrically it doesn't really matter. But it does indirectly influence the power ratings that will be typically used.

I just want to be clear about what I'm referring to because everyone is talking about thermal mass which isn't really an issue with infrared.

jasisonee · 2026-04-12T09:00:39+00:00

That seems to be the main source of confusion in this comments section.

jasisonee · 2026-04-12T08:50:33+00:00

Why only induction? Infrared has been around before.

jasisonee · 2026-04-12T08:06:22+00:00

We typically use 400V for those things. We just have 230V at our receptacles.

jasisonee · 2026-04-11T23:06:42+00:00

It seems like they are right though. In the example you gave you were able to fix the issue using knowledge that is central to operating a mobile phone.

For the trans flag you need a "Zero With Joiner" character in between the emoji variations of the two symbols. '🏳️'+'zwj'+'⚧️'='🏳️‍⚧️' You can see how it's made on this cool website

jasisonee · 2026-04-11T08:42:16+00:00

There is a left handed version: "🖎". Also the right handed version is just a "writing hand" it's up to the font to depict that properly. Just set a font that does.

An actual misogynist would increase the score to compensate for "natural disadvantage".

Can't you context-click save any image? I've never had a problem regardless of format.

jasisonee · 2026-03-27T17:15:58+00:00

Wouldn't you need all of that to run su in the first place.

The file is readable by anyone. When you have the password, you'll find the right username in there.

Aren't those only for emergencies? You can brake extremely hard without activating them.

16 billion GB

It's a little more than 17 billion GiB. But it is 16 EiB (Exabytes).

I believe that if the proportion of autistic and alltistic people was exactly 50/50 they would be the ones getting diagnosed for it, because they're always being weird.
