‘Fruit de la mere’ is obviously just some attempted tax dodge.

Bon courage!

Did anyone check Marie’s grave?

Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell’s - just to fuck with Einstein.

That PSU sounds good enough to me.

Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.

It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff. I’ve never used it but you could give that a go - see if you’re ever getting close to the 750W.

I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.

I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.

How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.

Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.

Go pagers and payphones. Jump the 5.

decyphering

MS is who they choose - I think its all bundled in with windows and azure and dynamics and office and that stuff. I think MS is trying to use their B2B OS deals to get some market share from AWS, so they’re probably offering cheap deals for now.

MS doesn’t allow 3rd party 2FA. They created a proprietary algorithm so no other apps can do it.

As of now, I find very few apps beneficial, convenient or time savers - maybe I’m a weirdo luddite. Most apps seem to be for pastimes anyway so saving time seems odd - I prefer to take time to savour my pastimes. I think mp3 player app, and organic maps are the real ones that I actually find useful.

But refusing GPS/microG and therefore Microsoft Authenticate will become a problem for me quite soon I think. For now a phonecall still works, but I think it’s only a matter of time. Once that goes I might have to quit my job, and will struggle to find one in my field that doesn’t require it, so I guess I’ll have to look for less skilled work or retrain, and I’m far too old for that shit. That’s where it’ll get constraining, when the tentacles of bundling enwrap and bind many other aspects of real society.

I really hope the EU keeps on at MS for bundling and other market power abuse, it seems so obvious that they’ve effectively ignored the fines from the old Internet Exploder case, and ramped up their misbehaviour regardless.

Of course the twats where I live are easily radicalised against EU regulations (or any regulations really) , so I’m probably still fucked. But at least someone needs to stand up for consumer rights and competition and keep kicking MS in the balls every time they pull their dick out to fuck consumers. Ideally kick them harder and harder too, ‘punitive damages’ are more than justified due to them being a repeat offender.

Hey it’s just south of Orkney. Small world.

I was thinking about blendOS at some point - it seemed like a decent proposition the best way to stick with arch, but have the declarative and atomic bits, without going to a new nix thing that sound like a more extreme nerd cult.

But I never did, I’m still mainly on Arch+XFCE or arch+kde, or debian+kde, or debian+xfce in my house.

I think I didn’t do it because I’ve never really heard of BlendOS , no established track record. No one ever recommends it. So it might not still be there in 5 years, so I’d have to be sure it’d all still work if the project ended. Meh, too much bother to figure that out.

If this promised deluge of PCs comes along soon i’ll maybe try it on a spare machine.

I think most people will say go fedora due to track record - but i never liked it when i last used it - a long time ago.

Hey now, I’m not creating any visions for anyone to share in - I’m not that level of self righteous narcissist?

I just like the name of a forum called ‘Fuck Cars’ so i don’t feel bad about bitching about stupid shitty unsustainable ways that they let their societies get “organised”.

Good luck to all these people raising new generations of children in their “no choice but to commute” image though. Thankfully I’m blissfully unaware of all the externalities, so it doesn’t bother me that they’re all stuck without any . . ahem . . choice.

I’m mostly talking about people who think it’s ok to live over 25km from where they work and then need to create “rush hour” twice a day.

I think 10km is about the right maximum for what should be regular travel, you can just about walk it both ways in a day, and still do something at either end. But ideally it’d be less than that. Even if you are going to use a car or whatever you’ll be causing far less congestion if everyone did much shorter trips. But ideally they’d be able to comfortably walk. And not need to be in such a rush.

But since you mention it, I sincerely hope that not even 25% of the 10 billion become regular international tourists, i don’t think that would be in any way sustainable for any other than a small elite. I’m not interested in elitism or elites however good their perspectives are.

I don’t mind everyone having a once in a lifetime holiday. But there are a lot of rich european pricks who seem to have a ‘once in a lifetime’ holiday every few years, and I’m pretty sure I’d never accuse them of having a good sense of perspective.

I think humans existed for quite a long time before cars were invented so I don’t think they can be all that essential for the species. Humans evolved such traits as bipedal-ism and sweating to help them be able to walk very long distances to find things that they need.

Most humans like cars and find them convenient/time savers or they’re just too lazy to walk for a couple of hours a day. I can still say fuck them even if they are convenient. Maybe unless you’re in a wheelchair or something - but even then I’d think an electric wheelchair would be better than a car in most cases.

Of course there might also be a couple of billion too many humans on this planet, but it’s strange that they all “need” to rush around all over the place and travel much larger distances then they did in the past - you’d think it’d work the other way round. Especially with vans, lorries and boats moving so much stuff around.

Fuck cars!

I’m sure there’s room for a more moderate community somewhere on the internet, but surely fuck cars has to be the most extreme one. There are several more rational sounding ‘urbanist’ ones out there. I’m sure some of them tolerate cars - especially the people that get all wet in the pants over fucking electric ones - fuck those too by the way.

If none of those are any good I’d suggest you start one called ‘FuckCarsBut’ or go ozzy and try ‘YeahNahCars’

Surely we don’t have to start “SeriouslyReallyActuallyFuckCars” community for me and the one other anti-car extremist in the world.

Either way there are far too many fucking car apologists in this one. fuck FuckCars

I thought applet came first. Then “web apps” - but i think that’s a windows perspective.

This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/

The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I’d still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.

I think it’s vehicle count not passenger count.

Many buses in CoL will carry 50+ people at peak times so probably move more people than cars or bikes.

But walking was the most common by a fair bit, just not in that graph.

Look up figure 5 and you’ll see how people really get around in The City of London. They walk from station to office.
