In used Bazzite for a bit on a desktop, which mostly worked great, until I tried to set up a small dev environment (for QMK keyboard firmware), and found that I fell into a rare doughnut hole where I’m advanced enough to want dev tools, but too dumb to readily work with the way immutable distros handle that, LOL.
For this machine, it may be an even better choice. I’ll certainly keep it in mind.
Awesome info. Thank you. I think I have some heat pads around for RPi passive sinks, so I might at least stick a couple of them on. Can’t hurt.
Without asking you to chase things down for an internet stranger, is undervolting one of these fairly straightforward?
Thanks. I’d skimmed over mentions of that a couple of times. I’ll keep it in mind if I hit any trouble.
Good to know. I actually didn’t have a bad time when I took a short trip with the upjumped Chrome-tab with a trackball and small mechanical keyboard, since I completely nuked ChromeOS and have Debian running native, but I’ve been told it’s a “sadness machine,” LOL.
The laser engraver in my garage runs via a battery-ectomied laptop with a Celeron and 4gb. I have Tuxedo on it, and it does struggle to do anything more than “copy gcode, hit send,” but by that same token its only other job is to avoid making me sad and not catch fire if it dies, so I haven’t put much effort into optimizing it. This one I have modest but non-zero expectations for, but good to know I’m above the floor.
TL:DR: Poor scale and awareness due to being a niche brand, overly large aluminum body panels requiring either massive replacements or complicated welding, small shops guessing that it must be even more exotic and expensive than the CEO claims, and insurers shrugging and moving on because the volumes aren’t hitting their financials hard enough for them to care.
“What transpired is not reflective of who I am, the values I hold, or the way I was raised,” [ADA CEO] Henderson said. “I will work hard to bring our community back together to build on the progress we have collectively made for those affected by diabetes.”
Jesus, he sounds like a pro athlete who got arrested for drunk driving.
Kills every edged consumable like it was hickory grown in a sand dune, but god forbid you get one drop of sweat on it before you paint…
I suppose to hear them say it, they’d say this is how they’re holding the line on the core use. Shrinkflation instead of inflation, so… Yay?
Even in the absence of right-to-die laws, from what I’ve seen with older relatives, once the healthcare providers know what’s what and divert you to hospice care, the drugs take care of the visible pain and, frankly, consciousness. These are generally practical, kind people who understand the odds and don’t want to see suffering.
So I have finally started seeing some viable replacements, after a several weeks long partial outage due to changing infrastructure at GitHub, but for years now, the custom keyboard design community has relied on a single person’s site, https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ , to design keyboard layouts, and to generate properly labeled json exports to set up the most popular firmware.

In small but statistically and financially significant numbers, yes, absolutely.
The bigger paradigm shift will be moving corporate users to per-token pricing, and that’s the one that will really kill Anthropic and OpenAI (and maybe Oracle) if it doesn’t go how they need, but there are way more actual people spending money on AI than one might think… or hope.
This is what I do, except the jelly is on both sides of a third and toasted piece of bread.
I like listening to Ed Zitron stuff, though admittedly part of it is AI Doomer comfort food, but one of the drums he beats is that the spend is absolutely obscene, and they’re going to have to start dramatically dialing up the prices, and soon, to have any chance at all of converting to profitability.
From what I’ve seen, even people who like AI won’t pay for anywhere near as much as they’re using now while it’s free or flat rate.
Fair enough, LOL. Just love that it’s “oh I pay TONS of taxes, but asking me to pay more in taxes won’t help anything.”
Just make sure your beard feels empowered to live their truth, and it’s all good. You do what you have to.
Or did you mean facial hair?
Anyway, I can’t grow a proper beard at all, and my plaid button-downs are generally cotton because I’ve always lived places where it’s hot AF most of the year, but I do very much like my Subaru. Had a '13 Outback for 9 years, and finally replaced it with a '22 Outback Wilderness, as possibly the dullest mid-life-crisis automobile purchase ever… it’s a little bit taller and looks a little cooler and has the turbo! I still have the ethereal butterflies center-console protector because I had to make a deal with my daughter to let me trade in the only car she’d ever seen daddy drive.
“The top 1% of taxpayers pay about 40% of all the tax revenue, and the bottom half pay 3%,” Bezos said. “I don’t think it should be 3%. I think it should be zero.”
“People sometimes say that, you know, I don’t pay taxes. Not true. I pay billions of dollars in taxes,”
“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”
WT-absolute-F? I think he got oxygen-deprived in space.
Not the main issue of course, but I found this fun:
Both YouTubers said the exposed database records indicated significantly lower customer interest than previously reported. According to Coffeezilla, internal order identifiers suggested roughly 30,000 total orders associated with around 10,000 unique customers, far below earlier public estimates claiming nearly 600,000 reservations.
So this grift will only net them ~$3M, not sixty. My heart weeps for them.
Fair enough, I may have inferred a bit too much, so here is what the CEO said:
