That’s because you’re using LVM though. In most distros you could also use something like:

/dev/vg/root

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn’t get used very often

Honestly I think it’s generally more of a bus driver issue, because it seems more tied to the motherboard than a given device

Yeah, I’ve had more than a few chipsets or periphs that worked on Windows, and worked on Linux but were… quirky, especially when dealing with stuff like suspend states etc.

For USB3 in particular, I’ve found many storage devices or adaptors like to drop out partway through an longer copy process on Linux (like they’ll be fine for copying a smaller amount of data, but the controller or device would reset during longer ones). This didn’t seem to occur in Windows, but I’m pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it’s some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn’t account for in the more generic driver

Yeah, I’ve had a few sellers among a lot of orders try to pull a fast one, but by-and-large they’ve been good and the few that arrived bad I did get refunded for. The main thing I’d say is to be careful of things that plug in but don’t meet electrical code in your country (Amazon is getting bad for this as well) as that’s definitely some janky stuff you can find

Yeah. I’ll admit I got a bit excited at the idea that Blackberry might consider entering the mini-computer market and make a pi-type device.

Yeah, was gonna say: it’s not just the competition, spams, scams, and trolls are a real issue.

I assume you meant raspberry pi-zero and not blackberry?

I’m kinda ok with a combination, like hey during the day run with mostly humans but at night supplement lack of staff when automation (so long as it’s safe)

I’m the big picture, maybe. On the other hand, there are plenty of cases where efficiency-per-size may be more important than price-per-efficiency given the available surface area to place a panel.

I’d say the main reason Trump doesn’t fall under the latter category currently is lack of opportunity. He’d absolutely try to profit - likely personally and from both sides - in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Not just that but that the “infotainment” system is getting further and further integrated with vehicle controls

A lot of this also comes back to asshole design, and EV’s can be particularly bad for this. Switching to large touch “entertainment” displays is a major issue. With my last ICE (Honda) vehicle, it was integrated into the backup+side cameras and a few comfort/convenience features. I could still replace that with a new head unit, though only certain ones would still support the cameras.

My wife’s EV (Hyundai) on the other hand, the console isn’t really made in a way where it seems swappable, and even if it was there are major system functions - such as configuring charge/power settings - which can only be configured from that (or the dogshyte app that screws up often and requires a paid subscription after 3yr)

I’d also wonder about a case against the company supplying the facial rec software/DB. Essentially they are fingering her as a criminal in a way that has a notable impact, which seems like a potential case for slander/libel to me (not sure what a “bad db entry” would fall under in this case).

a) you’d have to know who does it, and you might not until you (or somebody else) gets caught in the net b) boycotts are more effective if there’s choice, which there won’t be if mostly everybody starts using this shyte

There are other WinAmp-like apps - including ones that can use old WinAmp skins in classic now etc - such as QMMP or Audacious

A LOT are like that though. They just get you a smaller bill by sending power bank to the grid, rather than making you grid-independent.

Yes and no. A lot of them are still emplaced in useful locations, and people travelling will still need to stop and charge. A lot of the ones that were located in less profitable locations have already closed.

If anything, the charge times associated with electric might make proximity to nearby store, mall or entertainment venue more profitable.

Just want to add an extra FU to Google as a consumer and Android user. Killing off GPlay Music for YT Music was just a nasty nice, especially given that the latter has no mechanism to purchase music and a lot of the content or mixes in from YouTube uploads seems of pretty dubious legitimacy

This is actually one thing I’ve been thinking AI and deepfake tech can potentially do good. Let’s say you have an idea and can code… You have an idea for music but no instrumental talent, so the best you can do is hum it. You can’t afford voice actors or other professionals.

Or maybe you’re artist with an idea who can storyboard but not code. Maybe you can make 2d designs but not 3D models, or aren’t great at animate.

But… there is software that can take what you say and change it to a different voice. It can animate a model to match the words. Similarly, software that could generate instrumental sounds from humming is possible. An AI can generate interactive dialog. It could also provide assistance in the generation of music, debugging of code, and eventually more advanced 3D modeling.

A lot of game design software is much more a GUI to an environment/model and triggers etc than stuff like writing hardcore backend C++ code etc. AI could take that even further.

Then add VR. Drop somebody into a blank-slate where they can create a whole world with a word, a gesture, and a great idea.

One day, that might be a reality.
