I’ve got Ubuntu on my 2015 MacBook that worked out of the box except dedicated/integrated graphics switcher and the webcam. I also installed Windows which Apple puts out official drivers for. It’s just a computer, you can plug in a USB drive and install other operating systems just the same as any other laptop.

It still runs decently, I often forget it’s a 10 year old machine. I boot Ubuntu on it for work though, and boot Windows on it for the occasional game. It’s a useful machine.

Haven’t thought about rage comics in a long time, thank you.

I think in both cases it just cuts power.

This is hilarious, thanks for sharing!

Didn’t expect to see Jyn on Lemmy today.

I remember trying to do this when this first became law. Bell told me no anyways.

Windows Update is 100% malware by definition. Remember when Windows 7 had a free upgrade to Windows 10? It would force itself into the update queue with regular updates regardless of the user’s permission, and even after x days after the user explicitly said they didn’t want Windows 10. I worked in a computer repair shop in that time. The Windows 10 upgrade that people didn’t want or agree to often failed, breaking the machine. Sometimes we could recover the installation. Sometimes the OS had to be reinstalled. It was intentionally pushing software in deceiving ways to unconsenting users that broke their machine.

Yeah, I looked up the French solar roadways after seeing this to see the headline of ‘total disaster’. So as expected.

Ones that haven’t been mentioned yet is Clarkson’s Farm and the Grand Tour.

Is printing cumbersome and difficult on Linux? Yes, it can be. Is it better than Windows? Also yes.

It was a great time indeed when the popularity of IR blasters overlapped with being in high school.

This is what I was going to recommend. Worse case scenario the internet gets shut off and he has to email somebody and say he won’t do it again. Most likely that nobody will notice or care.

My understanding is that most (at least rock) music is mixed this way, just subtle enough to help your brain pick out instruments but not enough to consciously notice.

$40 and poorly received, critics rating it much worse than the free to play hero shooters on the market.

But think of the time saved! Only need to launch it 30-60 times for that payoff.

Ah, I must’ve clicked on a premium theme on the way in.

It’s modern alright, complete with an “AI tools sidebar” and a “please login” popup that takes up half the screen.

“zero safety incidents” let’s not jump to conclusions here.
