I know, not the same, but I built my kid a cheap "Gaming" laptop from an old corporate PC that was going to be scrapped because it restarted every hour of use.
Cleaned the cooling fins and fan, repasted both cpu and gpu, got a cheap ssd and extra sodimm of ram. Was good for about a year or so until he got my Ryzen rig :)
Def 7, it was the first OS used at work that turned invisible.. It didn't need constant defragging, optimizing or registry hacks like 98, 2000 or XP used to. It was a workhorse.
That said, I haven't used 11 yet. My company just announced that this year all PCs will stay on 10 for the foreseeable future.
I'm in a mixed case, I do use bone conducting headphones that are wireless when on my bike, because ear headphones are a 100€ fine I would like to avoid. Well, also use a Cardo on my motorbike..
But on the treadmill or at home I use some good quality wired earbuds, with thick ribbon cable that doesn't tangle up. It is just confortable for me and one less thing to charge and throw away after the batt says goodbye.
The phone: Ulefone Armor 21.
I recall Louis Rossmann saying something along those lines, and sounded perfectly reasonable to me.
Teletransportation is just killing and recreation of a new being.
Technicalities aside, TS is being pushed by MSFT in their SaaS custom components, and that right there will keep it relevant a while. MSFT is known for changing names a lot, but not for killing technologies.
After over 5 years of writing TS, I have had to do plain JS sometimes, and it is scary. It feels like walking blindfold. I'm spoiled.
Nothing wrong with it if you just ignore the spam and karmawhore social feed. I use it for visibility, so employers can find me if they wish. My current job was from a LinkedIn search from my employer. I get around 2 or 3 legit offers a month.
I have a ultrawide that does that function but splits horizontally making it more usable 4:3 side by side. I used it to connect my home PC along with my work laptop.
Baldwin is old enough to remember what happened to Brandon Lee. Add several workers leaving for safety reasons and it makes Baldwin the Producer and decision taker, responsable for turning a blind eye on all the security violations.
He was the one gambling and taking a chance, as always, for a bigger profit.
Gutierrez-Reed was unprofessional and ignored many safety procedures and is very responsible also, and should have walked out also... but being young and on your first jobs can be demanding and difficult to say no. What a wake-up call for her.
I recall having the image not found error last time. A mix of creating the USB with another program and tinkering with bios solved the issue. Sorry can't be more specific, but Linux is all about tinkering, so have fun :)
Doritos. My dad brought home some bags from USA and instantly got hooked on that shit. Fast forward a decade and now with money and selling locally, I ate them until I got sick.
Doesn't happen as much, but family and non tech friends would present me to other people that "worked with computers" thinking I could take new job opportunities. They were always wildly unrelated to my field.
I know I know,.. they acted in good faith, and probably could have adapted a bit, but like 30 years ago there was a lot of overlap and systems where somewhat similar, but now somebody trained in Linux kernel maintenance isn't going to learn how to create SharePoint SPFx webparts. Development is very specific now!
Yup, 700/700Mb. Also wimax but that only gets up to 25Mb
155.000€ for new 5 bedroom 200+ m2 duplex in my small town in Spain.
No HOAs! supermarkets and schools are in walking distance ;)
Cheapest is around 30K, but why bother?
One line is fine if used wisely, everybody does it for readability. The issue is when you need more than one.
Myth: code can be ugly as long as it works, don't spend company time on making it look good or on minor optimizations.
The truth is that you can tell when effort has been put into a job. Even if it just works, the lack of discipline means that in the end it will be difficult to maintain and probably will fail in unexpected situations.
Every language has its conventions, but if I spot more than a line of separation between blocks of code, that is a common telltale sign of noob. Run from that shit.
Quite bad. This was over 10 years ago so the details are muddy... It was on BQ hardware and the first weeks it couldn't even work outside on GSM or 3G (or whatever was at the time). It was clearly developed and tested solely on Wifi. Using cellular connection make it fall apart and constantly hang.
Then it never was able to get WhatsApp working. Everyone uses WhatsApp, and had to get by using old SMS or whoever I got to trick to install the then unknown Telegram.
Eventually got tired and got back to an Android phone. An Alcatel if I recall correctly.
After some time, BQ offered a way to revert the hardware back to its Android version, did that and had a backup for many years.
It was a very messy and buggy launch, but being on the bleeding edge, it's expected. If they had offered a WhatsApp app I would have hung on way longer, it was the only deal breaker.
I used an Ubuntu Phone as my daily for about 6 months.
Be careful, you may have it good now. For the next generation, they will make them pay a subscription to the police and firefighters service.
