Lol, no. A good majority of the time the issue is something simple like a loose or broken ribbon cable that would cost $3 in parts and $50 in labour (if you’re being generous with the time).
This practice of the “Genus” bar people telling a customer that they need a whole board replacement that would cost $2000 and saying it’s cheaper to get a whole new computer is well documented.
And you can trade in your existing one for a couple hundred bucks off a new purchase
Enterprises outside of Europe can get another year of Windows 10 if they pay for it.
I went from an Ubuntu 16.04 install all the way to 20.04 and they involved multiple hardware upgrades and a completely new system at one point, just swapped out the root/home drive.
Since then I’ve been on EndeavourOS with pretty much the same story.
With Windows 7 and 10 I had to constantly reinstall.
Just think about what’s happening behind the scenes on Azure. I work with it daily and even it feels like a bloated slow mess.
It’s 3.2% of Steam Linux installs. The actual number is higher.
It’s more about making aware those unaware how much of a clown Linus Sectarian, and the people at LMG/LTT are.
Burden of proof is on the accuser.
The burden of proof is on the party making a positive claim. This is true when in a debate, or maybe a professional setting.
But this is the internet. No one owes you anything here, besides, Linus Sebastian’s statements are generally known. And often he directly contradicts himself from show to show.
You know, I was fine with LTT for a while (many years ago). I knew they were clowns, but they seemed genuine and well intentioned. Their first Linux challenge made me raise my eyebrows at them, because I was a long time Linux user and knew much of what they said was either off the mark or disingenuous.
Then their storage server video came out and I almost fell off my chair with the levels of bafoonery I had watched. Even the real experts that helped them out had a hard time keeping their words civil while discussing the postmortem of the situation. That’s when I lost respect for LTT and Linus Sebastian as a tech “expert”.
Then all the other stuff about the lies, the made up metrics, the years of garbage test data from negligent and lazy practices, and the cherry on top which was the Billet Labs thing. The arrogance of Linus Sebastian to do the test in bad faith on a GPU that was explicitly stated by Billet Labs to not be the target device, and then Linus whine on the WAAAH Show that it would cost him too much money to do a proper retest, and then just selling off the prototype. Then doubling down twice in a forum post that LINUS SEBASTIAN is somehow the victim in all of this! Poor Poor Linus Sebastian.
And the moron couldn’t even do an apology video without making some wise-ass joke. Couldn’t read the room the one time he needed to do it.
He’s just an ass-hat.
I refuse to watch a video with Linus Sebastian. I’ll get better tech advice from my cat tripping on catnip.
How are you posting to Lemmy?
As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.
This doesn’t have anything to do with the sun’s rotation. It actually rotates once every 28 days. The solar maximum and solar minimum are just phases in activity caused by internal activity.
if Plex enshittifies.
Anyone want to break the news?
HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264
In some scenarios, it can. Generally I’d say it’s about a 20-30% reduction in size.
He seemed to get a conscience around the time he stopped running the show
It was all a show. His “philanthropy” was about exploiting farmers in other countries.
Ok, maybe I didn’t get the context of what you were saying. There’s a lot of craziness happening in these comments
Wtf do you mean “I would not call them communists”?
They have “communist” in their name “Chinese Communist Party”, but they aren’t communist by definition.
Communism is when the state gives you a home
That’s a Cliff’s Notes, high-level, distilled to one sentence version of the definition. The reality of what communism entails is much larger than that.
And the Chinese CCP is as much a communist government as the United States government is a democracy.
If you simply refuse to acknowledge the scope of public works and economic development
I did acknowledge it.
then dismiss these radical changes by citing the exchange rate between the USD and the Yuan as proof extreme poverty still exists
I said not a single word about exchange rates and never once mentioned the USD. Either your strawmaning what I said or you can’t read.
Ah, ok. Well, Poe’s law
