Then you're really not doing that much research. I can easily open 20 to 50 tabs for just one project. I'm not defending leaving them open. I've finally started to address the problem by learning how to take notes. I chose Joplin for this.

Autism/ADHD is a bitch for some things and note taking and writing up research has never just "come to me".

So a republicans house is just this but every room is labeled guns?

Doesn't Windows 10 already do that? I could never get the freaking thing to leave my files behind and disable itself.

Windows 10 LTSC for the win if you have software you can't yet abandon.

Ur tolling right?

I chose Manjaro KDE as one of the SteamVR requirements is KDE Plasma. It's required because it has a DRM function to allow SteamVR to take ownership of the DisplayPort.

A quick google search says that PopOS is Gnome based. But KDE can be installed over it? I might give it a go.

Windows 10 LTSC FTW!!! I just installed it and wow is it snappier and devoid of nearly all of those annoyances. I have no idea if productivity apps are affected by its stripped down nature but for Steam gaming it's perfect. I get less lag spikes on steamVR.

I haven't trusted Windows in years. This is just for gaming. I have a physically separate hot swappable Optane SSDs for Linux and Windows Gaming.

For those who will winge at me for not just switching to Linux. During this process I gave a concerted effort to give Linux a go and chose Manjaro KDE to try for steamVR gaming. It sucked. Once I had worked out that it was a permissions issue (It's always a fucking permissions issue under Linux) and just ran it under the root account, there was extremely high latency for the VR compositor to HMD display. Completely unusable as it made me sick and that's usually very hard. I tried X11 and Wayland. Direct and Non Direct output modes. No success.

Every time someone writes x.com I immediately think they're talking about a porn site. What a shit rebrand. Or what a perfect name I guess?

Cool. So you can no longer turn your phone off.

Newegg seems to be no longer offering free over ~$380 World EggSaver Standard to Australia? Can anyone else confirm this?

Is there any progress regarding buying a Framework without Intel Boot Guard or AMD PSB enabled?

There is a dead discussion on the framework community form where framework talked about

exploring the idea of shipping a version of the mainboard with boot guard disabled for those who want to run their own firmware

back in 2021 but nothing since.

Does lemmy have an even remotely thriving version of r/homelabsales?

I don't want to break my anti-reddit oath since June but this might do it.

It's the ultimate cash grab in my opinion. Just imagine how much faster the SSD will wear out from all the swap that'll be needed. The SOLDERED SSD.

The thing I loved about Apple 15+ years ago was that even though the hardware was expensive, it was semi modular and tightly integrated with the software and you got an offline product that you could also buy Apple server equipment and software for. 10 years ago was still ok but things were starting to erode.

These days there is no server software, no modularity, no ways to use enough of the new features without a cloud subscription and the hardware is just as expensive and designed with defects to limit it's lifespan (in my opinion). They want to have their cake and eat it too. I was a proud Apple fan boy but not a blind one. Well now they can fuck off. Bye.

I'm now fanboying about Framework and Pine64.

The 10GBase-LR is 1310nm and the QSFP-40G-LR4 CWDM channels are 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm. Are the 1310nm and 3rd channel 1311nm technically compatible?

I have a 10Gb and (will eventually have) a 40Gb switch both fitted with basic LR (Q)SFP+ transceivers and want to know if I can directly connect them or will I have to use an adapter to fit an SFP+ in an QSFP+ port?

I'm looking at using the XQX2502 QSFP+.

EDIT: The goal of this exercise is I’m trying to work out if I can make an easily interoperable system where a singlemode fiber wall jack fed from a 40G switch can act as a both a 10G or 40G port as needed.

Alphacool only has plexi front. Is EK's nickel plating still iffy?

I'm not riding on the road. Period. I ride too slow and there are some real dickheads in cars on the road. Allow cyclists to switch between using the footpath under a certain speed limit and the road or fuck off.

My buying habits mostly consist of living in the late 2000s and what little open source tech there is a available such as framework and pine64. I'm allergic to manufactured ewaste. If i can't maintain it, i don't want it.

I love the idea of a computerized car and fully integrated infotainment system. In the same way I would love a fully automated house. The automation and debugging benefits would be incredible. But only if I'm in control at an open source hardware / software level. Otherwise it's just manufactured ewaste to me.
