  • it's time for my trump card

  • Lots of people use their "gaming" laptops as working stations. I barely use mine for playing, but I like to have a big screen with full keyboard and a nice GPU for my work, and something I can take with me if needed, for example for a long work trip. I also have a smaller laptop for things on the go.

  • Yeah, all businesses that need to run proprietary software that only exists on windows.

    Good luck convincing your manager to use crossover/wine for your XRD machine.

    People who think people using windows do it voluntarily are so out of touch with the industry.

  • Hey you can now use the bus lanes at midnight pm on a Sunday, and have extra parking spots in Peckham. It benefits everyone!

  • Leave Texas and other Draconian states and risk getting pulled over for driving pregnant? Nope, just have the pills mailed from California.

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, what? A pregnant woman can't leave the state without husband's permission? Also, what happens if she's a single mum, or she's not married? Or a widow or husband is deployed... I mean... what?

  • If you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?

    Also, HDD are hard disc drives, so technically hard drives can be disc drives too, that's why the replier misunderstood you.

  • Wait, do you guys still use optical disc drives on pc? What year is it? 2000?

  • Not OP, I don't have respect for JP, but he still was a professor back then. This is like Degree Tyson starts talking BS on behavioural psychology, that doesn't make him wrong about all his previois statements on astrophysics.

  • unholy software..

  • And this is a clear example of how to keep people away from Linux, nothing push more people out of a community than shamming.

  • unholy software..

    Jump

  • Although that's true, it's still an issue. I don't think anyone is blaming Linux for this, but the issue is still there.

    I've never had a finger print reader working on Linux.

  • In Colombia a few years ago Xiaomi was every where. People getting an iPhone most like get a "are you paying 3 times to do the same as this other phone? You crazy" from their friends, at least I'm my social circle.

  • What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?

  • I pay for gym just to force myself to go. Uni had a free gym and I used it a lot the first month, then nothing. I just don't have the discipline...

  • The point is to make money, do they charge extra to increase the data cap? If so, it's all about money.

  • Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?

    Jump

  • Googledrive works as network drive and that's a problem. Have you tried to run MATLAB scrips with a virtual drive? Or open an obsidian vault in a virtual drive?

    What I mean by "personal cloud services" is actually trying to avoid those professional cloud storage that you mention, not everyone wants to selfhost or pay for teras of storage. I just want my personal files to be accessible from my work computers (has to be windows, not my choice) and my personal computers (Linux based).

  • Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that works as intended, what I meant is to have offline files, (full on sync folders) not only the virtual disc mounted. I work with lots of scripts (MATLAB) and the speed is significantly slower for virtual files.

  • Why Personal Cloud Storage is so bad on Linux?

    Jump

  • I agree! But it's surprising that even Google doesn't have a native app for Drive. There's one for android, but not for Linux? I'm guessing it all boils down to number of users,, but still...

  • Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS

  • On the same boat, I would gladly change, but most of my collaborators still use software you can only use on windows, I could use VMs or emulators, but it usually breaks my workflow anyway.

  • A story of MATLAB piracy

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that piece of software didn't came up to existence out of nowhere. Someone invested time, or paid for infrastructure to complete it. When you steal electricity, most of the cost is because of the infrastructure you used, which you will never own anyway.

    I agree information should be free, as long as the generator of that information agrees with it.

    Saying that, I still pirate things, not because I think I'm entitled to do it, that's a very poor excuse.

  • In South America too. Professorors provide PDFs and in my time even photocopies of the relevant chapters.
