Trump didn’t mention annexing Canada before being elected. He does refer to himself as “fucking crazy” and says he’s the same now as he was in the first grade, though… The Alaskans only voted for him expecting a general shitshow, not a specifically anti-Canadian-sovereignty shitshow! 😑
Try booting with the HDD disconnected. Try disconnecting the battery and BIOS battery (where is it on this model?!) for a few minutes.
You would still need good RAM to get into the BIOS update…
GPU failure, since a text-mode boots but not much else?
No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on. 😂
Try this setting: Display Configuration > Screen tearing: Allow in fullscreen windows. Whatever it’s set to, try the other setting. I had a similar issue once and this fixed it. The issue came back a long time later and switching it again fixed it. 🤷♂️
It’s a difficult issue to pin down. I’ve also read about video stuttering while trying to stay synched to pipewire audio which is having buffer underruns, even if your audio sounds fine. To check the audio buffer, you install and run pw-top and then watch it while you are having the video problem.
Japanese clothing company FUCTARD also went out-of-business… 🥲
Sorry, I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I just usually hear, “Linux not good for me because it doesn’t support my setup well enough” when it should be “Linux not good for me because the manufacturers of my hardware don’t support Linux well enough”. Trying to put blame where it belongs in hopes of raising awareness to both users and manufacturers.
I also mistakenly thought you mentioned a newer Nvidia card when you are considering AMD. 🤦♂️ Good luck in your computing future!
It’s not the fault of the creators of an operating system that Nvidia refuses to write comparable drivers. Nvidia are the only ones with the technical knowledge of the GPU’s internals that is necessary to write the 100% functional driver. Open-source Nouveau drivers exist but are less functional because of this, its programmers have to try to reverse-engineer and do a lot of guesswork and testing, and for free.
Basically: If you value FOSS software at all, buy from manufacturers that are friendlier to FOSS software, or you may unknowingly lock yourself out of it.
Edit: Buying newer (especially of Nvidia) is probably a bad idea if you intend to run Linux. Older cards have had more time for them to fix the inevitable bugs. I run a GTX980Ti 😅 with the closed-source drivers on an Arch-based system and I’m honestly surprised a video driver update hasn’t seriously broken anything yet.
I have several Android devices that work without signing into any account. I get my apps from F-Droid and some apks extracted from my phone that does have a Google account.
Samsungs are annoying, with their regular nagging, begging you to also make a Samsung account. I would never buy one but I’m on-call with a work-owned Samsung and there’s one notification that can’t be disabled. It goes off every once in a while and makes me think I have a service call.
Windows, eh, I switched to Linux long ago, but there’s always alphabet soup edition (IoT LTSC) that is far less bloated.
In the USA, Section 230 protections are going away in 2027 so that should finish off any remaining forums.
He wasn’t even arrested, just kidnapped and going to be deported without being charged with anything.
…and defund NOAA.
USA and the European Union. Russia is the “morally superior” state because democracy breeds decadence like tolerance of homosexuality and sexualization of children. Corrupt western Christian churches must be converted to the Russian Orthodox Church. Project 2025 is also Project Russia. https://washingtonspectator.org/project-russia-reveals-putins-playbook/
This is what USA’s elected leaders actually believe.
Should have gone for the heart; I don’t think further damaging the brain would have much effect.
That goes without saying… another user here says the drive can’t be larger than 8GB but I’m fairly certain I tried that, too.
Edit: 4GB FAT32 worked. It may have a 4GB limit. On a brand new multifunction business printer/copier/scanner.
My Canon photo printer can be converted to a tank-style with a drill and a highly illegal cartridge resetter. 😂
I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don’t buy Brother if you want that feature, either.
Only reasons I can think of are time and money. We sadly lost DivestOS and their projects… How about software patents, which of course are bullshit; but even illegitimate threats can ruin small businesses and lone programmers who don’t have the time and money to defend themselves.
Who will rake the leaves? Not raking the leaves is the cause of the recent increased wildfires, according to Donald Trump’s own word salad.
It sounds like these are modchipped if they come with a USB stick of games (that the owner then burns as they wish?)
There was an offer to purchase Greenland during Trump’s first term that was dismissed by most Americans as “Art of the Deal” buffoonery, but I can’t find any reference to Panama or Canada delusions before the election. Please correct me if I’m wrong… I’m by no means attempting to “run interference” for the narcissist-in-chief and have been warning my fellow Americans since the PATRIOT Act that giving the executive branch sweeping new powers “because terrorism” would be abused within our lifetimes. PotUS is supposed to be administrator of federal employees, not a goddamn dictator.
