My dad uses Ubuntu on his htpc and its always out of date when I visit. I think Mint or PopOS may be friendlier in that respect.

You can find 8500t nuc on eBay for extremely cheap, just search 8500t/9500t.

Can every oneplus do this, 6 seems extremely old.

That sucks. I never used it but it at least meant the drivers were always good.

I bought one of the extremely generic ones with the heatsink build into the top and it lasted a single month.

Id have expected thousands of cheap ARM boards with 8 core cpu’s by now for cheap, instead raspberry pi’s are now over 100$.

Radeon 6800H nuc were on sale for 350$ or so.

N100 are like 150$.

Anyone used this?

Not in data mining. You may not even be able to make a vertical taskbar, but you can be sure every keystroke is being recorded.

I dont think websites is a good example, Javascript barely existed back in the day, now you’ve pages that look like animated books as you scroll. Videos also used to be 120p, now they are 4k.

But I’m at like 2-5% cpu usage with firefox and many tabs open, KDE, a file manager, and software center; most of the usage seems to be from the task manager itself. I think its likely some high level language like Javascript slowing things down, which is done to sandbox things and sterilize third party code thats run without vetting.

There are 24tb hard drives now.

It would be cool if it was built into the terminal itself, where you’d just select it and it would auto-download and install.

I remember an ad Intel made about how AMD was “gluing their chips together”, being the chiplet design. In the end ram speeds continued to improve and thus the bottlenecks were alleviated, and now every design is the same.

Its sad we need to emulate such junk, but alas, some day we won’t have to.

Cognitive rigidity is a hell of a thing.

Dump it, a faster board is like 30$ now.

Very cool.

Europe better get their head out of their ass and start dumping Microsoft.

I’d search ebay for 9500t and get a NUC, its a 6 core processor and can be bought pretty cheaply.

I switched my company over to Bitwarden because it was open source, any the code could be vetted. I’d definitely be dropping it if they ever started making things proprietary.

We got burned by Lastpass and it was an easy sell.

Europe breaks their own procurement laws to choose Windows, because they are idiots.
