Ultra 7 155H with six P-cores, eight E-cores, and eight graphics cores; or an Ultra 7 165H with the same number of cores but marginally higher clock speeds.
WTF is Intel smoking with these naming schemes I can’t even understand what this means. Thank fuck AMD is an option.
So far this actually seems like a good, privacy respecting implementation of a chatbot. Good for those who don’t want to go the full offline selfhosted route IMO
Put me on the waiting list, I’d buy a battery that’s been strategically re-located from some rich fucks car to my solar setup.

Do not use any AI other than self-hosted offline, opensource models
Netflix has a more accurate picture of their user ratings for shows than Nielsen ever provided cable companies…
Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.
People saying “doesn’t matter” aren’t considering someone brand new to Linux would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won’t know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn’t be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they’re asking specifically for gaming.
I tried it for awhile. Speed was good, unfortunately for my use case had some show stoppers.
Pros: -It worked good on Linux. -Custom pricing plans (you can pick exactly which nodes you need and only pay for those) available month-to-month, makes it easy to try
Cons: -Android app couldn’t remain connected as I move from mesh WiFi pod to pod. It would think its connected still but I would have no internet connectivity until I manually reconnected the app. (Everytime I crossed my house I would have to manually reconnect). -No port forwarding (torrents)
Ended up switching to airvpn. Use “openVPN for Android” which handles the mesh pods, and openvpn on Linux as well. Works perfectly.
Constant cunty moves like this is why I will not spend one fucking red cent on anything Nintendo ever again.
Yet again, this was not impacting their business/profits in any way shape or form, if anything it helps keep their brand relevant, and they still fuck it up for everyone.
Pirate everything Nintendo.
Retroarch + Vimm’s lair is one good source for ROMs for those starting out.
Graphene is awesome, super easy to install with their web tool.
For 2FA if you’re still using G00gle’s there is no way to export to try and keep you locked in. Go ahead and start switching all your stuff over to Aegis now (my recommendation, or another that’s on fdroid and allows exports) and then you literally just export the file to your secure backup (I use filen) and then import on your new graphene install. Super easy. This allows you to keep manual backups as you please as well.
Fair but thats your choice to upgrade. No one says you have to, and they don’t lock games behind needing insert current gen CPU or gpu
Just go PC and don’t worry about corporate lifecycles anymore
I can vouch for airvpn if any of you poor saps need to get one. I’ve been through several and settled on airvpn in the end.
General rule if you see YouTube sponsor ads for a VPN steer the other way. (IE Nord, Surfshark, etc.)
That’s one fat meal
Casually Explained as relevant as ever
“Fully anonymous”
“will track IP”
“Have my word I do no track or log IP address”
“I will track IP addresses”
Wow is this the first time a dev advertising anonymous software has admitted they plan to sell their userbase (once that userbase builds their content for them enough) right off the bat?
Its like a enshittification speedrun
I wish the companies that decide to only allow SMS 2FA (or none at all) will fucking realize this sooner rather than later
This sounds like tech-bro RSS.
Ya simple solution: don’t buy no-name chinesium crap regardless of the storefront and you won’t be disappointed
Get a library card and go to town on some books. I’m using reading to replace my social media/Netflix/YouTube time. Aiming for one book every two weeks for 2024 since I’m a pretty slow reader.
Bonus: If your library has Libby you can rip the DRM using calibre and build out your collection on your ereader. My library offers free music streaming and 5 DRM-free mp3 downloads/day from “freegalmusic”. They also offer free streaming services for movies and TV but I haven’t used those since the point is to read more not watch more bullshit, but could aid as way of weaning yourself off after cancelling other subscriptions
Ya I’m so sick of hearing “can’t mention that, YouTube will demonetize me” on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we’re living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers
