0x4E4F,

Extra points for figuring out how to do it with LuckyPatcher.

0x4E4F,

Hm, will check it out, thanks for the suggestion 😉.

0x4E4F,

Take way too much space… I dual boot on the same drive 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, Ubuntu does it as well. But other distros not based on Ubuntu, don’t.

0x4E4F,

Snapshot software works with subvolumes, not with partitions.

0x4E4F,

Arch, probably not, Void, most definitely not.

0x4E4F,

They’re too expensive. Plus some people buy a lot of their IT equipment second hand.

0x4E4F,

To get it to work in Windows I literally had to go to a website that was only Chinese, download a zip file, and extract a dll that would then work when pointed to.

It’s called manual driver install in Windows… pretty common with older hardware.

0x4E4F,

Capitalism at it’s best…

Yeah, Realtek WiFi cards are known to be problematic in Linux. Lan as well, but not to that extent.

Just swap the card with another one, no need to pull hair over it, it will most probably never work like it should.

Tell me you haven’t used more than 2 or 3 pieces of hardware in the past 20 years without telling me you haven’t used more than 2 or 3 pieces of hardware in the past 20 years.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Agreed. Most drivers are found through Windows update.

I guess I just have old hardware 🤷. My latest hardware is 9 years old… well, apart from my phone 😂.

0x4E4F,

They have a very very limited range. I have used them, but only if the AP is in the same room, otherwise, they crap out.

PS: Everything’s built from reinforced concrete and cinderblocks/bricks around here (seismically active region), so we have trouble with all sorts of wireless signals, including WiFi and 3/4G. 5G is out of the question here. We do have the towers, but less than 1% of users actually use them.

Too bad the US is not what the natives made it to be 🤷… they didn’t like what the immigrants did, but money is a very powerful thing.

0x4E4F,

My thoughts exactly.

0x4E4F,

Those problems can be easily fixed with aditional fans.

0x4E4F,

Didn’t know this, thanks for the info 👍.

0x4E4F,

And you know who doesn’t vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

Well, they are over here… and I do vote, just scratch out everyone.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Really? I thought it signalled that I don’t like either of the choices 🤔… maybe get them thinking about the representatives they select to put on the voting lists.

0x4E4F,

It has 0 impact in the US maybe. Here, my vote might get snatched by one party or the other… I wouldn’t like that to happen, thank you very much.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Laugh all you like, it’s reality over here. There is vote snatching every election, dead people voting, abroad voters voting here (locally)… this is not the US 🤷.

0x4E4F,

The Balkans.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, it’s a nice way to avoid an argument 👍.

0x4E4F,

I just tell them there are pirate subs (comms), that get’s their attention rather quickly.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Joke as old as time, but it’s the fact that it’s on Lemmy that warms my heart 🥹.
