Congrats! I'm a bit jealout of all Laptop 16 owners since I got a Laptop 13 before the 16 was even announced. My unit works just fine and I don't really need a dGPU for gaming, so I'm not gonna order a 16, but still… all the nice hardware lol

Dongles stick out, expansion cards don't.

I have a tiny archive of my own consisting of one 1 TB and one 2 TB USB HDDs by different vendors. Whenever I want to save something, I put it on both. Btrfs snapshots make that really easy.

Getting one which would also perfectly fit into my laptop sounds better to me idk

I might get such an expansion card even tho I have a Laptop 13 just because of my phone which fucking sucks lol

Please keep me updated lol

I'd really rather have some harmless telemetry by Mozilla with a stronger ad blocker than Chromium bullshit. Ngl some people take privacy too seriously

I found more info: Microsoft SQL Server Engine already does hot patching and I guess the same way will be used in other MS apps: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure-SQL-Database/Hot-Patching-SQL-Server-Engine-in-Azure-SQL-Database/ba-p/849700

So according to the official page on Hotpatching (without any trackers like in the article), this reminds me of kpatch. I guess Microsoft really wants to spend the effort of making that work. Isn't kpatch not really supported (without $$$) by many larger distros since it's prone to break easily?

Technically, but it's safer to reboot nonetheless: https://fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/

Text files could theoretically contain malicious content. Why doesn't the format have a built-in virus scanner??? Is this what you're suggesting?

Flathub has manual submission verification though, which includes the steps to build flatpaks. Reviewers (currently) would definitely catch fishy looking apps.

They've also implemented manual reviews in case of metainfo or flatpak permission changes, another thing for additional safety.
