But you probably had to disconnect about everything, so in a way, they all became simple parts, in a way. Then, once your new mobo is connect, it becomes a new whole, a new PC.
Usually I consider my PC a new PC once I change the motherboard. Everything being connected to it, if I change it, it means all my parts go back to being parts, then part of a new whole.
Aurora Linux (immutable KDE with auto update) on the Desktop, Fedora KDE on the laptop.
Made my father switch to Linux about a year ago, so far he loves it. He has the tech knowledge of an oyster, but so far it worked.
Sure I had some convincing to do at first, but once he realized KDE is basically Windows well done without pesky ads, he was sold.
I still have to do some work from time to time (usually through Rustdesk), but globally it works well.
I have to admit my way of doing this was a bit underhanded (steps bellow), but it worked.
- Move his docs outside of the computer to a NAS. Like that no risk of loosing files. He believed for a long time files were bound to the OS (despire using OpenOffice and Libreoffice for decades), so he through that .odt made on Windows wouldn't be compatible with LibreOffice on Linux.
- Once W10 support had ended, didn't told him about the extension (I'm a sneaky bastard), and offered to dual boot Linux.
- Fumble the dualboot (oops, my bad, guess you have to use Linux for the time being, I don't have enough time to reinstall Windows 10). Who knows, maybe intentionally 😆
- Let him marinate about two weeks, forcing him to try Linux, helping him through Rustdesk when needed
- When I came back, he asked me if I could install Linux on his laptop. This time I did not fumble the dual boot, but still let Linux be the default boot option
Fast forward almost a year, he didn't boot Windows for at least 6 months, and is pretty happy how snappy Linux is (despite how weak is computer is, he has an Athlon 3000G, paid like fifty bucks years ago, new, with 4GB of RAM, recently upgraded to 8GB with old stock I had around).
They are talking about securing the inputs by basically adding tls beween the two of them, in order to make mitm a lot harder. A little bit more input lag, probably, but at least it will help defend agains prisoned USB devices.
That's actually what hardware cheaters do (no need for the LLM part). They got a second computer, reading the screen, and a "MITM" device between the controller and the computer running the game to auto-aim.
No level of kernel anticheat can beat that.
Without physical disk I might as well get a Gabecube instead.
At least once the next Gabecube "2" comes out, the old one won't become a paperweight and could become my parents next computer.
I test products for a major online retailer, the amount of AI generated images is too damn high! Some of these producs are so bad I just give them away once the retention period (when you cannot sell or give them) is up. But sometimes you get some pretty good surprises (like those electric insect bite healer devices, that works surprising well).
Gonna left it there for those who agree with that dude :
The definition of what is or is not depends a lot on the person.
In my case it is pretty simple: Can I plug a keyboard and do spreadsheets on that fucker? Yes. Then that's a PC. As soon as you can do more than play games and watch movies on it, it stop being a console.
