I've looked into getting one for my AMD laptop but I haven't actually got one yet. Some models are locked, some are not, here's my research:

  • The common BE200.NGWG is a CNVi module and everything except the radio itself was moved into Intel's CPUs, for cost savings.
  • The BE200.NGWG.NV is a normal NIC and should support AMD.
  • The BE200.NGWG.NVX - same as above but with an X?
  • Anything starting with BE202 sucks, avoid it.

I definitely agree with automatically configured stuff, but I enjoy setting link-local static IP address with IPv6, like my home server is fe80::bad:c0de or 192.168.0.2, and my NAS is fe80::coo1:da1a or 192.168.0.3. I've definitely mistyped the IPv4 a few times (see your 169 typo), but the IPv6 always delivers hackerman vibes.

I have also set <prefix>::bad:c0de and have my IPv6 prefix on a keybind, but I understand that's a bit of a stretch.

Yep that was exactly the issue I faced before giving up with NVMe.

I haven't completed read through the tutorial, but UEFITool does exist for Linux. (I had unsuccessfully added NVMe support to an old motherboard previously)

That's exactly why this project exists, to allow users to add ReBAR support to their old motherboards.

Thought I should mention, he is also slowly adding his changes to the mainline kernel.

On the ISO keyboards I've seen, the enter key has way more than double the surface area than ANSI, so it's definitely not 'just rotated 90 degrees'. Also these people probably grew up with ISO and struggle with ANSI, just like you probably grew up with ANSI and struggle with ISO.

Excel would be emulating the silicon here

This guy still maintains it87: https://github.com/frankcrawford/it87

I've was using his for years on my old motherboard, since the mainline it87 didn't play nicely.

I haven't checked, but Freetube and Bitwarden sound like they're just electron apps, running them with --ozone-platform-hint=auto enables Wayland detection. You can add it to the app's .desktop file if it works.

I doubt this will be any use, but my Telstra 4G has a public IPv6.

Wow, thanks for your work!

Now the text being slightly more the left than the right is triggering me but I can live with that. And it's a shame the sans-serif doesn't seem to be working.
