ERROR_666

I've been running 11 on my 10 y/o PC without TPM 2 for a while and it's been working with zero issues. It's all just a money grabbing scheme to get people to upgrade their hardware.

Well depending on your standards it could still be argued

Well the rest of us think you are

Very well put.

I always like to say that I love my job, but I hate my boss and my stupid colleagues because they always seem to be getting in the way OF DOING MY FUCKING JOB. In 2023 it seems like work is more like a highschool popularity contest rather than about giving value to the company.

So in practice, I hate working. But it was never about the job. The narcissists are the ones ruining it.

I wish I could talk to my engineers like that, maybe they'd stop fucking everything up.

Lemmy is starting to remind me of old reddit

I think boycotting is the wrong way to solve this issue. It's better to sit down and have an honest conversation about it. But the conversation has been anything but honest. People don't even know what "from the river to the sea" actually means before shouting it, they think it's some hippy "love and freedom" chant, while it's a call for genocide.

Did it work for you? Because I get nothing

Well they can start by not using their smartphone because that thing has a ton of Israeli tech.

This.

Their strength comes from having zero management and all projects are born and lead by the devs themselves. As close to communism as you could get in a capitalistic world. It does come with some problems but they're totally manageable - like having a strictly homogeneous workforce (which, one could argue, isn't a bad thing)

Pizza is made of flour.

I can still recall binge watching a show on Netflix only to find out mid-way they only had about half of the total seasons. So I paid for a service only to have to finish the show by torrenting it. Idiotic.

Anything you need to on board but not really useful in real life scenario

"what is good for the tribe is good for you" is the key take here. They're only nice to others when it benefits themselves.

Just a shitty fact of life.

I don't see the problem. She makes more, then him. Is she available?

It's all one big layers system.

For sake of example let's take a GPU.

You have the hardware itself, which is rather static and non-changeable after it was manufactured.

Then the firmware is the software that runs inside the card itself in some dedicated chip with interface to control that hardware. It is programmable and replaceable.

Then the driver is the software that runs on the OS, and acts as an interface for other softwares that run on the same OS to talk to if they want to use the GPU. The driver would use the interface that the firmware exposes. Since each OS has a different way of writing hardware interfaces drivers are written for a specific OS.

Then you have software like DirectX or OpenGL that provide yet another standardized interface, only this time between different manufacturers like NVidia, AMD, Intel, etc to talk to supported GPU drivers.

Then you would have the software itself, like a game engine, video player, whatever.

Take a screenshot.

It's slowly turning into the dead bird that drowned in one of the stools because it was too sick to get out

Hey I too like ginger tea with lemons!
