A Total Perspective Vortex if you will. Only a true narcissist survives.

Just compare it to his videos from 10 years ago.

3 minutes and interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OSrvzNW9FE

No, quite the opposite. Models are largely a mass of random looking numbers that can’t be compressed losslessly.

Hp is doing laptop rental for non-commercial customers only.

When you reset “secure boot settings” did you clear the TPM contents? Would that have included a. private key used in the disc encryption? Then when you regenerated keys it will have been with a different seed and so different.

I don’t know much about his stuff, but that bit sounded odd to me.

Just a future looking statement.

Once you get more familiar with the terminal…

• You will want several of them, each set up to do different things.
• You will want more than a 3 line letterbox to see command output.

I know you’re not there yet, but don’t let the fact that you’ve adopted a particular setup limit you in the future.

Leave it at the office.

Is that down to anti-cheat software?

At that price you’re going intel.

The encryption of streaming media is annoying, but it’s not what I fear. The ability to lock the software that I run on my hardware to “approved vendors” only is what worries me, and it’s what TPM promises. A security model where the only trusted party isn’t even the person owning the hardware.

Signal groups?.. Oh! That’s why people wanted usernames.

No. Signal is for people I know.

No advantage over Arch IMO.

If you want to play with it, setup a VM.

More fool you. There’s some damn good software in that list.

• It’s amazingly stable even though it’s a rolling release.
• Up to date.
• Maintained by many many knowledgeable people.
• Arch Wiki
• 99% of software you need is packaged, and then there’s AUR too.

That’s about it, but its my daily driver on desktop and laptop.

I’d just built my first PC and had no love for Win 3.1 which was rapidly becoming the default. I wanted to keep codíng having come from from Atari STs and had no desire to learn the windows APIs. An OS that came with C compilers by default was higher level than I was used to as I’d been doing 68000 assembler on the ST, but it was still low level enough.

IIt was also similar enough to the Sun IPCs and IPXs that I was using at university.

I’m a little confused by some of the discussion. Surely the problems they’re talking about with variations in the test system also apply to windows. You result can be affected by:

• Which windows updates have been applied
• Which version of the drivers have been installed
• What other software is on the system

Linux is the same, but they seem to be more concerned about it. Can someone explain?

They’re Saxon

How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You’ve got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I’ve never understood Plex.

They do. You look at it every time you see the contents of your disk. It’s just organised in a tree to make path based lookups fast and locate organises its database differently to make fast basename lookups.

I’ve got a 12. I really like it.

Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You’ll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you’re good to go.

I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn’t out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.
