They have an image of the OS that they copy on the SSD for each machine.

Please report for organ harvesting on Thursday at nine.

Using a machine like this just as a NAS is a bit of waste. It’s a full blown PC that would work very nicely as a home server for Jellyfin etc. The RAM will limit the utility, though.

Families are overrated.

Yeah that’s just so dumb. Also, i wouldn’t be comfortable with the OS on eMMC storage. That’s hardly known for reliability. So close and yet so far.

So the Labour government is going to pave the way for a fascist takeover of the UK by giving free rein to the MAGA propagandists? All in the name of “the economy”, of course. Great.

How much for a society without an exploitation system?

Which is why it’s never going to happen. Old people like me will remember the first EEE PC from Asus, the original netbook. Netbooks were small cheap laptops that were popular before smartphones were around. It ran Linux and it worked pretty well. Then Microsoft came out with a special version of Windows XP which could run on netbooks and they gave it away for free, just to prevent Linux from getting popular on consumer devices. So they’re going to pull something like that again. And Lenovo know this, of course. This is likely just a negotiating tactic to get concessions from MS on licensing fees.

The technology was dropped back in the 70s because it was not commercially viable. The existing facilities were always used for military purposes first and foremost, the civilian use was always a fig leaf. I don’t see that anything about that has changed.

Can we have tacos?

Why do you have to personally attack me like that?

No, it’s the wolf, cabbage and goat puzzle.

You’d likely need all kinds of cryptographic keys to get anywhere with that. Tesla is unlikely to ever publish those, even if they go bankrupt.

Yes, do donate to FOSS projects. At least that money will go to people who do the actual work and not to pad corporate profits.

In other news: a sack of rice fell over in China.

All the cool kids use vim, so using nano makes you uncool, I guess. But I use Mint, so I’m uncool anyway.

Nobody could possibly have foreseen this! Scientists are baffled!

Definitely worth watching.

Why are you posting a picture of my house?

You’re not making any sense at all.
