It's... Not great. It's on par with other $300 laptops, which isn't saying much. 8Gb of RAM in current year isn't really enough anymore, and the screen is basically the cheapest possible. You're looking for a laptop with a screen resolution near 1920x1080, and ideally 16 Gb of RAM.
It's gotten very hard to recommend laptops based on the brand name, since pretty much every brand has started pumping out crappy laptops to capitalize on the brand.
Like others said, try looking at business laptops, either surplus or liquidation sales. They're not great either but at least you're ideally not getting fleeced.
If you're feeling adventurous (and I'm mincing my words, this won't be a breeze if you don't know much but you'll learn a ton), the best bang for buck you can get in a portable format is a Steam Deck with USB hub + mouse and keyboard (could be travel size if you want). Can be had for less than $500, if you have the budget portable screens also exist, and for that price it beats any modern laptop under $1000. I understand that it's not exactly for everyone though.
I love how this doesn't even begin to cover bad kbs ms pushed out. The fact that windows admins think testing updates before deploying them is a routine operation that should always be done boggles my mind.
Jesus Christ.
I've been doing linux admin and honestly I haven't been looking back. My breaking point was Microsoft pushing a kb that rebooted domain controllers for no reason.

It might as well be if it weren't for the weight lol
I mean. The RPI runs a fork of debian, and can definitely launch blender. It can't run it well and good luck using blender without a mouse, but i have 0 doubts that this thing can open a blender window.
I too browse stack exchange Hot Network Questions
It seems your assessment is correct. You'd be surprised at the speeds you can get on poor wifi when you don't care about latency. The average speed marching up with your download is a dead giveaway too. The fact that maximum over 5 minutes exceeds it is a bit weird, but it could be explained by some networking equipment in the middle (probably at your ISP if I was to guess) terminating MTUs for whatever reason. A common one is misconfiguring various solutions for capping internet speeds to subscribers, where your local MTU will be set correctly but the outgoing ones will be set to the maximum speed of the link.
Pretty sure the TOR user agent is just default firefox, by design. It's very easy to detect OS with very rudimentary fingerprinting techniques, a lot of which are blocked by the TOR browser but they can never get them all.
69 is the postal code/région number for Lyon, a large city in France. There are a staggering number of things named thing69 blissfully unaware of the joke they're making, it's great.
Alright then I'll do you one better:
Google regularly abuses their market share dominance in browsers in order to push for changes to web standards that benefit them, such as their web integrity api (which would have prevented blocking ads). This is monopolistic behavior, and the largest ad company on the planet shouldn't get to decide web standards.
As a side note: both firefox and Samsung are paid handsomely (just like apple) to have Google as a default search engine. This also is monopolistic behavior, if you built a better product than them then you couldn't outspend them to get to the same position.
Goodbye
Google is the default search engine for chrome, and chrome is the single most popular browser at about 95% market share.
Rien a rajouter au comme de Zigg, mais bienvenue quand même!

Ah c'est bien dommage, l'article allait quelque part de prometteur et finalement me laisse sur ma faim avec un vieux "bah c'est centralisé donc la modération va être nulle". Je trouve l'article un peu long pour un contenu qui tient ironiquement dans un tweet.

So like really i don't expect this post to go very far because most people who don't play guild wars don't go looking in guild wars communities, but I guess here's mine.

Looking for router recommendations with SFP ports
hey all, i'm looking to replace my isp's router (i know that i can, it's basically just DHCP on a specific VLAN) with my own one and i'm looking for recommendations.
here's what i would need out of it:
- best price-to-performance ratio. the larger the NAT table it can keep in RAM the better (i run some things akin to ipv4 scanning)
- OpenWRT support
- at least one sfp port for internet access, supporting 5Gb/s.
- at least one 1 Gb/s ethernet port
- ideally 2-3 100Mb/s ethernet ports
- wifi support: yes (don't need anything fancy, even 5GHz is optionnal but preffered)
- LTE modem: dont care but nice to have
i had a look around the OpenWRT supported devices table but since it doesn't really list ports and i need sfp, it takes a long time to go through and read german router pages.
can anyone recommend a router that meets these at least partially?
I have submitted an informal PR to fix images not rotating properly when posting
If you're a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can't register on their git server, I can't submit a formal PR).
Send me a PM if the email gets lost and I'll give you the line you need.
If you're not a Lemmy dev: Have you encountered an image that is suspiciously rotated here on Lemmy? Perhaps you even tried posting an image that looks right yourself and found it rotated itself! Why?!
The reason is that Lemmy strips all metadata from images you upload to it. This is because image metadata can contain, among other things, GPS coordinates or where it was taken. The problem is that when you take a picture with your phone in landscape, instead of rotating the image in memory, your phone saves the image sideways (because that's how it came off the sensor) and then adds a metadata tag that tells everyone to rotate the image as they are displaying it. You guessed it, that tag also gets deleted. In most cases, this is fine because either the picture wasn't rotated to begin with, or Lemmy image hosts actually save the properly rotated image before stripping the tag, but in some image formats, this isn't the case due to a programming oversight. I have found the fix and sent it to the person responsible for the image hosting code.
