While I get what you’re saying, you don’t actually need POTS service on a copper line to have DSL work. I used to sell DSL circuits without telephony services in one of my first technology jobs. We’d order “dry circuits” and pipe data only through Copper Mountain or Paradyne branded gear (pretty sure both companies are dead now). Most telephone companies wouldn’t let you do this because they wanted to prop up POTS line sales, not because it was technically necessary.
I’m a Chevy Bolt EUV driver. This 100%. I’m in the market for a mini van and want something electric. Nothing except the VW Buzz exists.
Any chance we could move that timeline up a bit? I’m free next Tuesday to be instantly immolated by a Nuke.
As someone who drives a Chevy Bolt, an amazing vehicle that GM has killed off TWICE now:
You fucking sure about that bud?
I’ve always found IPAs more like chewing pine needles, but agreed. IPAs are fucking disgusting.
The biggest selling point for Chromebooks was that they are A) Cheap and B) Simple/Fast. Education and Enterprise used them because they were easy to manage.
The cheapest Googlebook is $899 and it’s biggest selling features are a bunch of AI junk nobody asked for. They also cannot be managed yet in the Google Admin Console.
I expect this to flop something terrible.
It’s not the same thing, but CalyxOS will run on it and supports relocking the bootloader so you don’t have that security concern like with LineageOS.
That’s basically how Trump treats the regular US constitution, so why should this one be any different?
Not if you store the excess you produce in sodium batteries
All good homie
While I share the sentiment, they do have a master toggle to turn all of it off.
As someone who works for a company that develops FreeBSD kernel code, your doing an awful lot of conflating between BSDs. You’re basically saying that ChromeOS and Fedora are the same because they use the Linux kernel.
How do you figure FreeBSD is influenced by Apple? macOS and iOS don’t use FreeBSD. They use Darwin, which is a BSD fork, but not related to FreeBSD at all AFAIK besides they have some of the userland tools.
I know. I was pointing out that these people apparently worship it for it’s omniscience and intelligence, neither of which it has.
Not with the capability of omniscience, though, so…
These fucking people’s brains are cooked.
While I’m not the average person, my kids have never known anything but Linux or ChromeOS (because school). They game on SteamOS/Bazzite, they use a Linux laptop at home, and they use Android devices. Everything they use, somewhere inside deep down, is powered by Linux.
OpenSUSE used to use yum and then briefly dnf. Zypper is fairly recent in the last several years.
There is nothing wrong with using your distro’s app center. Often it will save you extra steps by updating things like Flatpaks as well, if you use them (or Snaps, if you’re an insane person).
Yeah I worked for a company that sold DSL in ATT and CenturyLink areas in the United States. We could also sell stuff with telephony from ATT, but we had some ancient agreement that let us sell DSL using their lines without telephone service. They were ordered in ATT’s system as “alarm circuits”. We also could run service 3x further out because of some old tech called ReachDSL. It was only 256k to 1.5M, depending on distance, but most of the people on it could only get dial up at the time, so this was the best they had available.
Those were indeed dark days.
