I mean, I always buy used business line laptops for about $400 each when I upgrade, but if I plopped down new $1500 pricing for a new laptop, I’d be a little upset if I broke the USB power port. Guess that’s just me though. I don’t like planned obselence, most people don’t seem to really think about that much I guess.

Am I the only one that thinks that USB-C power delivery is a con?

Having the option to charge with usb-c in a pinch is a really nice feature, but for longterm use I’d really rather usb-c plus a seperate barrel jack for power.

The barrel jacks on business line laptops are usually a separate module that if it breaks from catching the cord with your foot and ripping it out of the laptop, you can replace the module. I’m not sure I’ve really seen replaceable usb-c power jacks very commonly, they’re usually part of the motherboard because it’s a combined power delivery/thunderbolt port or something. Now if you rip the cord out the jack is totally fucked And you have to solder a new one on.

True, other option I hadn’t thought of is to use war time to stay in power, so we’re ‘forever at war’ with Mexico to keep his dictatorship going

So, here’s the thing. We all know Trump’s a bastard. If they use him to try to control the cartel’s he’ll pretty much just take over Mexico once the troops are in the border.

In this case the enemy of my enemy doesn’t apply here, because your enemy’s enemy is a fascist asshole with no satiation for power and money.

Ah, thats right, I should have been looking at “earnings” instead of sales, ala nvidia… Lol

Every time these articles get posted, I check the stock price and hope its tanked, so that it hurts Elon. And yet its always higher than the last time. These reports seem to mean nothing.

How’s the performance for media on that thing? I was eying up the surface go line to replace an android tablet that I mostly use for playing movies and TV shows I’ve downloaded. Think it would do okay playing back 1080p and higher content?

Oh Jesus Christ dude, I was trying to get you to calm down and stop being so argumentative when we both want the same outcome. No. 2nd. Holocaust.

Take some time and cool off, I didn’t mean to piss you off, and I don’t take the holocaust lighty, I just off the cuff suggested an idea of trying to fight fascism with their own strategies, I dunno how you linked that to “I support Nazi’s”…

Lol you gotta chill out dude. We both don’t want a repeat of the holocaust, we agree on that.

You realize I’m arguing to try to stop what happened to them, from happening to others right? So yah, let’s use corruption to fight corruption, what else do we have to lose? I’m not really sure why you’d be against trying anything to reject recreating the horrors those people lived through and witnessed.

You’re on a moral high horse by telling me more corruption isn’t the answer, while also lecturing me about how horrible it was for those people. Let’s uh… Try whatever the heck might work to not have that happen again? Can we agree on that point at least?

I mean at this point I’d try anything to not recreate Germany circa late 1930’s…

I really doubt the people in concentration camps would have agreed with “ya know what? Maybe fighting corruption with corruption isn’t something worth trying…”

The EU should play his own game and funnel foreign campaign money for none-GOP people through these stores.

Of course we should have done this years ago since at this point we won’t have fair elections, but for a brief moment, I was satisfied with my thought.

Sorry, still not understanding your position, can you explain a bit more about your troubles and problems? Then many of us here can help you.

Explain more, I don’t understand.

They have a Linux GUI, though admittedly I’ve never used it.

Man, I haven’t listened to Ratatat in yeaaars. Thanks for the memory!

Rufus, the bootable usb creator?

You should be able to natively do what Rufus does in Linux, if you have a disk imaging software installed. I think Ubuntu comes with gnome-disks, you right click an ISO file, click open with, select disk image writer, and select the destination device (your USB drive) and it writes the ISO file to the USB device. You should double check it actually makes it bootable, but I think it does.

You can also use Ventoy to do what you want. You install it to the USB drive and then just drop the ISO files into a folder that you want to boot from, and it creates a menu for you to choose which ISO file to choose at boot time.

If you’re a SciFi fan, read the expanse series. It’ll reinvigorate your love of reading again. At least, it did for me.

Alpine is an interesting choice for hosting, really curious what situation you’re hosting in that would require that level or lightness for a distro?
