Wow, some of the comments on that article saying Google should have made Android closed source are mindboggling. They realize they never would have had their current worldwide marketshare if they did that, no?
But maybe if they did, we would have had more people working on true linux phones ๐ค I'm a bit torn on this one haha.
The Framework 13 inch model should be plenty, especially if you want to dev on the go. Much more lightweight and smaller, and you can connect it to external monitors if the screen size is not big enough. Also, you shouldn't have issues running Linux on either laptops.
Instead of going for the 16 version, I would use the extra 900-1000 euros (that's the amount I saw I could save between the two almost maxed-out models) to make a dedicated server or mini-cluster to run your workloads. Deploy Kubernetes or Proxmox on it, and you'll also get some more practice on it outside work if you want to run stuff for your home lab. That is only if you don't want to game on your laptop, but I'd still put that money aside to make a desktop.
It's amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that's better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.
This is a great time for Linux users! :)
Same. It sucks that most banks wouldn't jump on this train :(
What a stupid article. It's like saying "stop using electric vehicles because you can't use gas stations". I don't understand why he's so adamant about this? It's not like Wayland had about 20 years of extra time to develop like X11. People keep working on it, and it takes time to polish things.
If it's really warm, you can't really blame her. It's just a brief period during the year when she'll be like this, so what's the harm? Not sure where you live, but I'd wear nothing but my underwear where I am right now.
I'd say the best course of action would be to say nothing and just ignore it. If my step father would say something like that to me, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable. It's up to you though, you know your family better than we do.
Mate, if it interferes with your well-being so much, you definitely need to get a second opinion. It could be what the other poster mentioned, but you can't know until someone else takes a look.
Further more, the doctor should have given you some better advice on how to handle it.
I've looked into this before, and it really depends on the type of RFID they use. Older versions have been cracked, but newer ones can't be copied over (easily or at all).
If your company is serious about security, you will not be able to put the content of the card on your phone. What newer, more secure versions of RFID do is receive a code from the reader system, replies to it internally, and then sends back the answer. Even if you try to copy this over, you will not be able to open the doors of your facility.
I think the first step should be to use one of these apps that can read RFID and see what protocol your card uses. If it's an unsecure one (i.e., only pushes out a code and checks it in their database that it's yours), you could probably try to copy it over. However, if it's not, you could also just dissolve the card with some acetone and place the resulting wires in your phone's case, near the bottom. Like that, it shouldn't interfere with your phone's NFC, as that one is usually next to the top area of your phone.
You can do it here too! Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social :)
I got NFS Most Wanted (2005) working in Wine, and was somewhat impressed how easy it was at the time. Game worked quite well, and would only crash once in a while with some cryptic errors that I don't remember. Made me hopeful for the future of linux gaming :)
