“A stop job is running for … (56s / 2min)”

Mhm yes, is this going to fuck up older games?

I did the exact same thing. IceWM with XP skin, Firefox with an extension that changed the name in the title bar to internet explorer + a IE theme. Then Thunderbird with an outlook theme. For years they used it like this and no longer did I have to clean out viruses or remove IEs additional toolbars that plagued that era.

Occasionally I would run some updates and that was it.

WinDirStat, Notepad++, Greenshot and Filelocator pro lite (aka agent ransack) are my default programs to install on windows machines.

Haskell packages every other day…

I plugged in a monitor yesterday on my work laptop 's HDMI port and it did nothing. After some troubleshooting I apparently had to unplug the USB-C dock for it to work. Let’s not pretend Windows is smooth sailing all the time.

At a meeting I was given some kind of remote dongle to duplicate my screen to a monitor and it did nothing. Had to run some exe first. Again, not plug and play.

But there was always a workaround.

We are trialing off brand docks. Wouldn’t be a trial otherwise 😄 these work perfect btw.

We bought some for work to trial and they cost 65€, so hardly hundreds

There’s always a MAC address, it’s just the dongle’s then.

You chose netinstall iso?

Neat! I kept using du and df and work my way to the culprit. On PC’s with GNOME I use baobab.

Some people are into that

This is education everywhere

They both have 16GB RAM.

The one with Windows 10 has a i5 7600k and GTX1060

The one with Windows 11 has a i7 7700k and GTX1080

Both with nvme ssd storage samsung evo (cant remember which exactly). The 7600k machine even has hdds and ssds via sata extra.

The only reason I’m on 10 with my main pc is because the 7th gen intel in there isn’t compatible with win11. I have another pc that is 7th gen, which I put windows 11 on and there is just something weird about it. When I do anything on that machine it doesn’t do it immediately, it sits for a few seconds before actions are done. Really aggravating. Clicking on a program on the taskbar takes a few seconds before it opens. File explorer, firefox browser, settings pane, … Once programs are running it’s fine to use said programs, but I wonder what they did to make it feel this way.

I have Linux on both machines as primary OS and they are super snappy, it’s not the hardware.

Start it is

If your work requires Windows, then use Windows. Switch to Linux when everything you need is available on it. If alternatives don’t exist, then that’s it.

Number one reason why I don’t like all the analog broadcasts and use of frequencies are slowly being killed off around here.

DOGE and…?

Please tell Tongshen, who manufactures the popular TSDZ2 motor. The pedal keeps coming loose because they don’t do this. I keep a key on me to tighten it when it starts to loosen.
