TheCaconym, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

BIOS booting stays winning

9% of the population apparently, the highest in the world tied with Mexico.

No, their metaphor was not ignorant at all.

Animal products have good taste for most people. The issue with them is not their taste, or the actual act of consumption of them, it’s the fact that their production necessarily involves the torture and killing of sapient beings.

If you can have “meat” without such effects (so, those fake vegan “meats”), then there is nothing wrong with it at all (I still prefer most of the time my rice, beans, tofu and TSP if only due to the cost but again, nothing wrong with it, quite the contrary).

TheCaconym, (edited ) to fuck_cars in Yes, also Teslas

The point is that electric cars are shit, have never been a solution to anything, and that they shouldn’t be presented as one, doubly so when as a technology, public transport exists.

I still use thunderbird. It works well.

On that Windows 95 anecdote, by the way, beyond gaming that’s also one of the advantages of wine. Pretty sure their software would run perfectly on Linux with wine.

Everybody does, comrade

TheCaconym, (edited ) to askelectronics in At what size of transistor does semiconductor manufacturing become practical for independent manufacture?

There is an answer but you’ll probably only manage to get it by going through semiconductor devices history and determining the hardware required at each improvement step, and the cost and acquirability of that hardware. This would take hours - potentially days - of research.

A quick search yielded this blog post though of someone attempting - and managing - production of a basic 1200-transistors semiconductor device in their garage, which I found rather neat. That’s with no cleanroom, and with chemicals the purity of which are far removed from the ones the industry uses.

TheCaconym, to linux in Noticed a strange occurrence where my monitor buttons will not react to presses when certain conditions are met

DVI should not control the monitor’s actual physical controls - it does include a small non-display channel but IIRC that’s used to get the display modes info from the monitor, and potentially to transmit contrast information and the like; some monitors will prevent you from adjusting contrast if DVI sends that info for example, but it certainly shouldn’t disable the power button.

My guess would be a hardware issue - in the monitor itself - which is somehow triggered by the sequence in which you do enable the displays, and your system update being unrelated. It’s a huge guess though. One thing to try is repeating both sequences (the one that locks your buttons and the one that doesn’t) using a live CD - not a “nobara 38” one if such a thing exists, another distro. Trying both monitors on another computer would be an interesting test as well, although not necessarily that helpful (because if it doesn’t occur there, it might just mean the issue is triggered by peculiarities in your graphic card).

TheCaconym, to memes in Guess I need some hints for good subs.

Been on lemmy for three years and I’ve never really lacked for content though.

TheCaconym, to science_memes in abandonware empires

Ah yeah, drivers are another thing entirely. Especially for what I imagine is very proprietary undocumented hardware. The only thing that can help there is a reverse engineer / kernel module dev.

TheCaconym, to memes in Toughest Choice

How do people not think of that, putting a quarter of your income away monthly, so obvious, I wonder why they don’t do it

Also a “retirement” implies a functioning biosphere in which to retire, fat chance.

TheCaconym, to linux in toolbox vs distrobox. Which one to use?

Can I ask why you choose to use one of those weird “immutable” distributions in the first place, out of curiosity ?

TheCaconym, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

it would be easy to get back to meat eating

If it would “be easy” for you to get back to consuming animal products, it’s hard to imagine you’re vegan at all.

Nooch does not contain B12. It is sometimes added to it, perhaps even often in the US ? but in the EU for example I’ve never ever seen B12-fortified nooch.
