WYS, and in 2025 I'm surprised that the CL (a holdout from typewriter days, right?) still exists and/or isn't one of those "hold to toggle" keys.

Essentially an embedded SW Dev, working on either bare-metal or something using Linux as an OS. I tell non-SW people (and a few who are) that I "do the stuff that happens from the time you press the power button to the time your 'thing' is ready to use", then they get it.

Isn't that exactly backwards? "USB4 is TB with optional features ...?"

Pretty sure he's talking about our Samsung Odyssey G9 57"

I too get 7680x2160x120Hz via TB4

Yeah, I'm more worried about some random GoogleFlag locking me out of my account than anything else. That being said, unlike most of the public I know a couple of Googlers personally, but it's a shame that I'd even need to be lucky like that.

I can't be the only one here who sees what the Bible-banners were really trying to demonstrate, right?

My main SMS is Google Voice, which (AFAIK, enlighten me otherwise) is immune to most attacks w/o some sort of social engineering.

I just wish it were trusted more, as the number of places that'll let me use it for 2FA is decreasing (but thankfully most of the places I've been Grandfathered in are still working with it).

> The accounts payable person who actually pushed the button that cut the checks <- The most important one if you want to get paid on time.

Yup. I've had such people at the Xmas-present/birthday-gift level too; sometimes I get paid out before even the utilities.

Eh? If I spend even five minutes a day (i.e., less time spent going to the toilet) looking at ads I'd be surprised.

I mean, a bunch of 'em is called a "murder", FFS :)

+1 Just found out about them 4 years ago, they are awesome.

> OLED

I use mine for productivity only (I don't game at all) and it seems the consensus is OLED's no good for things like Kconsole/xterm (-style) windows and general text readability, though.

I have the 57" version, 7680x2160. It's ... indispensable ... all my Konsoles, app windows, etc. all on one screen with no overlaps.

Got it on a Samsung sale for ~$1500 IIRC, one of the best upgrades I'd ever done.

I'd think it needs more detail, though?

Looks like ARM Holdings has: https://www.reuters.com/technology/arm-holdings-cancel-qualc...

So I'm taking it back; if Qualcomm loses this case, this chip is certainly abandoned.

This "keeps" happening, yet no-one's posted up a simple sign?

Thankfully I do!

Ordered one, it's coming today. Since I have TotalTech if I completely hate it I've got something like two months to give up on it. I don't game so if I can pull it off I can leave my XPS at home; we'll see ....

Linux is my DD on Wintel (AlderLake); IIRC (K)Ubuntu have those same packages in ARMv8 (and gcc for the rest) so it should 99% be the same for me.

I play with ARM in the Day Jobs but the full laptop form-factor is really appealing

It's still $800 ... OK, I need someone to talk me out of it (esp. as the last thing I need is Yet Another Tinkering Sinkhole :) )

But have you encountered any serious issues so far (I expect to put Linux on it, and I build my own kernels).

Some things never change, apparently- one wonders if "Get off my lawn, you damn kids!" has been around since the First Grandfather

Nah, this "older folk" loves my cameras and it's an excellent enhancement

Define "cannot navigate"? I've been driving for decades, but where I live traffic is everywhere so I don't go more than a few miles without using Waze and its real-time traffic monitoring.

"Yo Dawg, we heard you like parasites, so we put a parasite INSIDE your parasite INSIDE ..."

I have it available, but GitBash seems to work better with my workflow. BTW, when I checked to see how to donate, apparently my client pays for it; I thought it was OOS.

I'm "All Linux, all the time" at home, develop in it, help out with the Kernel a little bit, only use Windows at home in a VM, etc.

I'd just started working for a client that is fully entrenched in Windows, but we're doing bare-metal and Linux-y work. When I'd discovered I couldn't use Linux as my daily driver due to security/policy(/tooling) reasons, one of my co-workers told me about Git Bash, and it's worked out so well that ... <looks left, looks right> ... when we were given the opportunity to use Linux but VM Windows, I kept the Windows machine.

GitBash has made Windows painless for my work's use-case. I should probably throw a few $$ at them ....

I see what you did htere

(... neatly tying two meanings of "booty" together ...)

Seriously. Fuck those vultures

"Unix" though, right?
