Not worrying temps for most stuff. If you have mechanical HDDs you may want to check those specifically.

You can put graphene on a 4. It won’t be supported but will be more secure. Still not recommended by me or grapheneos. They say that the reason they support pixels is due to the security, not the aosp support, and that they will continue to develop grapheneos. Android 16 is the first new build with the changes and grapheneos is testing it now iirc. I would personally recommend seeing how 16 goes (possibly post after the update hits stable asking for user feedback) and decide based on that. You should probably get something new as the complete lack of security updates is quite bad but that could help you decide whether to go with graphene. Personally, I am on grapheneos and am not worried about it.

I’ve run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia on linux and I would say my intel experience was by far the best. I use an a380 in my server for transcoding, and I had an a750 in my desktop but switched to a b580. AMD gets the graphics stuff right, but intel does the graphics and compute right on linux where AMD ROCM is a major pain in the ass. It may not be great if you do tons of gaming, but it works quite well for me.

Does a state ID opt you in to the facial recognition?

Been using airvpn for at least a year now (2? Maybe 3, idk…) Wait I checked it’s been about 2 years. OK, anyway yeah they’re my go to recommendation for anyone moderately technical.

If you haven’t solved this yet I would try using the novo button again with your camera ready to get the text and see if it’s useful. Beyond that, I’m not sure how to get into the bios. Assuming it still boots and doesn’t have a soldered wifi card you could always get an AX210 for fairly cheap off of ebay. Should have good linux support.

Edit: Nvm the card suggestion, I see your comment on that.

That counts. Screw the gatekeepers.

Well, waydroid exists and pixel bootloaders are still unlockable. Plus fairphone specs aren’t too bad so it’s plausible in the future.

You’re right, my bad. They are stealing that amount from each creator, in fact.

Ya know, if you assume each one of those is a person who would otherwise pay $100 a month for all the streaming services, then they are costing the streaming services about $259,200,000,000,000 each year. /s

Alternatively, if you have the money, you can just buy a new drive and hold on to your old one. For a while I actually installed linux onto a flash drive and used that. (Not a live boot to be clear)

Also the expectation that you will use all the same software. They mentioned a screenshot tool not being supported. That is something that will obviously be os specific.

Look at that asshole.

A bit of both for small decisions. I’d trust it with little things and for more important stuff it could work for the trick where you flip a coin and figure out which thing you actually wanted by gauging your reaction to the result.

Nvm the hyperlink had but and I didn’t see.

It’s down for me.

Are you accusing me of excusing hypocrisy or crimes against humanity? (I’m guessing not the latter and also legitimately asking)

I feel like one of the more important things to take away from this is the wildly different degrees to which various students use ai. Yes, 90% may use it, but there is a huge difference between “check following paper for grammar errors: …” and “write me a paper on the ethics of generative AI,” though an argument could be made that both are cheating. But there are things like “explain Taylor series to me in an intuitive way.” Like someone else here pointed out, a 1-2 minute conversation would be a very easy way for professors to find people who cheated. There seems to be a more common view (I see it a LOT on Lemmy) that all AI is completely evil and anything with a neural network is made by Satan. Nuance exists.

It’s obfuscated but not officially blocked. Their site is asahilinux.org. It’s not worth getting a macbook for yet imo , but it’s still super impressive, especially the graphics drivers. There are issues with Mac’s built in security stuff but that just means the fingerprint reader and probably some other stuff doesn’t work.
