    question Which Tablets

    Seems that page is not for discussing putting Linux on their Chromebook, it's a general support topic as their answers for machines running Linux and ChromeOS are generally the same. MrChromeBox, who has a firmware flashing and initial install guide at least for Intel-based Chromebooks, doesn't...

    Empire in Decline

    Huh. I think I may have just had the first twinge of optimism for us this year. I'd almost forgotten what that felt like.

    I'm aware of this... Heck, I've had to compile things for XP in VS2019 with the 2017 toolchain. It's how I recompiled the special version of OpenVPN 2.5.4 some guys hacked together for XP into running on my PIII laptop, specifying /arch=SSE. I guess somewhere along the line I thought we'd...

    This weekend is seriously looking like it's going to get ugly. Navy fire exercise my ass. If there are still history books in twenty years...

    I find it rather humorous that according to StatCounter, in Asia Windows 7 usage is rising in the wake of 10 losing support, at the expense of both Windows 10 and 11 marketshare in that region, up to 18.67% there and up to 9.61% worldwide as a result. I guess people are deciding that if they're...

    If they did it before they'll do it again. I don't trust it.

    Apparently we're all terrorists now, too. So that's fun.

    Windows 11

    Making it visibly unchangable without location services to normal users has to be illegal in some jurisdiction, probably Europe where they actually kind of-sort of have to give a shit about privacy sometimes. But I bet being able to Powershell it probably would keep Microsoft from being fined...

    Remember when Trump supposedly didn't know anything about that... and then proceeded to put pretty much everyone involved with it into positions of power within his government?

    Given the flurry of activity in the nearly three months since the last post... Holy shit. Just holy shit. I thought things would get bad. This is fucking insane.

    Home Media Streaming

    Yeah, I don't tend to use Jellyfin for library management per se, rather I use it for an easy playback interface that isn't just loading files into VLC or whatever through the network. I find I don't trust anything but myself to do the tagging/album art fetching.

    Oh yeah, absolutely.

    Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that neither can I afford a pet (food/litter is one thing, insurance/vet visits are another) nor can I justify having one around because I live alone and I'm simply not home enough. It wouldn't be fair to them.

    Turns out the LaserJet I have did some hours -- it's from a lawyer's home office, but really all it needs is a good can of air let out inside it and a fresh set of toner cartridges. Although it did seem to clear up the yellow dots in the printout after a few test pages printed. It's from 2016...

    I got my DCP-L2640DW on sale from OfficeDepot a year or so back for what I felt was a very decent deal, around $150. The MFP model was twice as much and all it has over the DCP is a faxmodem, something that's hardly relevant to my needs. I scan (especially with the feeder) far, FAR more than I...
