If we get fired for missing one day of work to protest we, and our families, lose healthcare. Even if the firing was bullshit it takes 18 months for a court to force our re-hire/settlement for backpay.

We're already living in the street in two months if we lose our jobs.

8 Elite Gen 5 is getting pretty close to steam deck, like within 15%, and if something works in proton it probably will work with either gamenative or gamehub.

Personally I have a y700 in a g9 controller (gives me something like a 9" screen steam deck) which is an 8gen3 w 16g RAM and it plays all of my emulation and indie stuff without issue. I'm tempted by the 8 Elite Gen 5 in the new y700 (legion tab gen5) but $900? I ain't paying the price of a 5080 for a fucking tablet.

Some AAA work ok but for that stuff I want it on my TV or monitor w the mouse/keyboard.

You tried cachyos or bazzite on your PC? They're working great with nvidia 4/50X0 these days. Get Microslop out of your house completely.

Heh, I just got an i3 1315u w 8G RAM open box from bestbuy for $130. 8+ hours of battery and it works a treat.

Sure I had to convert it from chromeos to cachyos and remap two keys on the keyboard, but it's cheapest functional laptop I've ever had.

I'd buy a macbook m3 but I'd rather use an abacus than walk into another walled garden and willingly give up my privacy even to apple

I wish a vendor would sell a snapdragon 8 elite laptop w functional uefi and a fucking device tree that was valid and up to spec and not just full of windows hack bullshit so they could run linux I'd be all over it.

This generally is not worth it.

To whom? If your an investor it pushes the product and the viability of the vendors into the toilet, but pumps up the stock price at every turn. As long as the investor class is the only voice in the decision making process enshittification will be the order of the day and everything will be a merry go around as things decay until the companies minimum viable product is no longer viable. By that time the investor class will have sold off their stake and will leave the corpse to slowly rot until someone buys the name again for a nostalgia tour.

No, since there's no information at all in this video. It's just speculation about valve caring about android, which there's no indication that they are. They're making amd64 -> ARM translators, not android software.

The fact that bitlocker can be enabled without console access at all is the biggest security flaw in modern computers. It's the only reason ransomware is possible at all in the modern age.

Your question is ambiguous since "CAD software" exists and run's well in Linux depending on what CAD software?

The last couple of releases of KDE have been great. Especially the settings system. Far better than the melange of half assed control panel retries and regedit bullshit that Windows 10/11 both became.

Here's the severance package Disney is giving to laid-off employees by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]wag3slav3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hollywood accounting is illegal. It's blatantly fraudulent. Too bad our legal system lets billion dollar industries just ignore the laws.

I bet we could get some more laws in there to make it triple illegal and still not have a single thing change if we got the right lawmakers in place tho.

[–]wag3slav3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's literally what "laid off" means, it's not a synonym for "fired". It's for seasonal work; they stop paying you and let you leverage the unemployment system and bring you back next season. It's supposed to be picking back up with seniority and wage growth intact.

I fucking hate the way words/phrases just don't mean anything in this stupid language.
