This is cool. I struggled with exactly the problem as described. Installed the NVIDIA driver and it would not load, without telling me why. Somebody on Lemmy pointed out that you need to disable Secure boot.
It's nice to know they are working on a solution, just a pity it's so difficult. But they are trying very hard to make it workable.
I have no clue why any anybody thought I would pay more for hardware if it goes with some stupid trend that will be blow up in our faces soon or later.
I don't get they AI hype, I see a lot of companies very excited, but I don't believe it can deliver even 30% of what people seem to think.
So no, definitely not paying extra. If I can, I will buy stuff without AI bullshit. And if I cannot, I will simply not upgrade for a couple of years since my current hardware is fine.
In a couple of years either the bubble is going to burst, or they really have put in the work to make AI do the things they claim it will.
The funny thing is, that whole thing just proved that the spying didn't work. Trump was still almost killed. So the spying and mass surveillance did still not prevent that.
I guess they should stop violating everybody's privacy, but obviously they don't care.
Well, how is the system supposed to know that you want the crack to do something to that executable? The anti virus just sees something is happening and flags it. It does not see a difference.
Not at all, a crack does something to an executable file that you use. Malware would do the exact same thing.
Funny. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.
I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I'm in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.
I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don't they understand they are driving away customers?
Wrap it up folks, we're done here.
It's actually a classic programmer move to start over again. I've read the book "Clean Code" and it talks about a little bit.
Appereantly it would not be the first time that the new start turns into the same mess as the old codebase it's supposed to replace. While starting over can be tempting, refactoring is in my opinion better.
If you refactor a lot, you start thinking the same way about the new code you write. So any new code you write will probably be better and you'll be cleaning up the old code too. If you know you have to clean up the mess anyways, better do it right the first time ....
However it is not hard to imagine that some programming languages simply get too old and the application has to be rewritten in a new language to ensure continuity. So I think that happens sometimes.
There's so many distro's to choose from that can all be productive.
If the question is this short, my answer is too: Go try at least 10 and then come back to tell us what you liked and what not.
Without any further information it's like going into a forest and asking people to point out a tree. Unless you look for some specific tree all will do...
Edit: Fat fingers
While it probably isn't the issue for you, I have once been chasing a hard freeze that was caused by some APM setting in the BIOS. If you are on AMD right now you could check it.
It was very weird, setting it to automatic would cause random freezes. Setting it to on or off would both work just fine. Somehow the automatic setting gave me issues.
Just a random thing for you to check I guess.
Already canceled a long time ago. When I subbed they had all the good shows in one spot. Then everything got split up among others services and it was no longer worth it.
Plus the content they make themselves is hit or miss. And the misses are in far bigger numbers.
Seems like they brought themselves to a spot where growing more is very hard so they start messing with subscriptions to get more money.
Just curious what they are going to do when that stops working, because I think the next step is just to realize more growth is very hard. And anything they change may add subscribers but it may also cause them to leave, so they have to turn the knobs very carefully.
