You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

Less than half, but let's be honest here. It's because she has more money than him : P

People still unironically use chrome?

Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That's really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be "unique", but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I'd put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that's constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.

The Hell Pig looks like that picture of how an alien would envision a hippo based solely on its skeleton. It was probably just a really big normal looking pig thing.

Simple solution is to not pay Netflix and just pirate their content. They go out of their way to make the experience worse for paying customers on a regular basis. Sonarr+Jellyfin on an old computer with no video card and you've got a better Netflix where your content doesn't just magically disappear or fail to play on some devices.

11 out of 24... I would have done better just clicking randomly

These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing...

Same here, although mine was with a fresh install. Only hiccup I had was from an outdated archinstall script with incorrect dependencies. Since the system has been up and running I've seen zero issues with plasma 6 itself.

Went from mint with cinnamon and x to arch with kde and wayland, and somehow it's been a smoother experience...

It's a funny situation when it comes to government work, because technically the job doesn't actually produce anything. There are no shareholders and no profits. If an asshat micromanager wants to see a bunch of people keeping their office seats warm, they don't give a shit about productivity.

My office would genuinely rather I take the day off, and that mindset is never going to change. Luckily, I get a decent amount of remote time, but there is literally no reason that it couldn't just be 100% remote.

For daily use, sure - but it completely excludes itself as an option for road trips in the US and parts of Canada. There's a stretch of interstate road near me with nearly a 100 mile gap between service stations.

I know that this isn't the purpose of this battery, but it's a valid reason why a lot of people might be hesitant to buy one. Many people can't afford multiple vehicles for different purposes. You have the car you drive to work with, and if you happen to go on a trip you just use the same thing.

Maybe 99% of use occurs within constraints that this battery can handle, but if you can only afford one vehicle, then this is still a pretty suboptimal option. That being said... it could still be cheap enough to not matter. I didn't see any mention of price in that article.

You can always just undervolt the cpu and take out the gpu. Sure, a 1000w power supply is going to be inefficient at 20% draw, but if you already have old hardware it isn't always cost effective to replace it just because of a higher power draw.

Also the pi is great for stuff like dns and network storage, but it's going to struggle with transcoding as a media server. I can't speak for the 5 from personal experience, but the 4 was completely incapable as a jellyfin/plex server. I just use an old stripped down computer for media and the pi is relegated to dns adblocking.
