The 4070 was released almost 3 years ago, so the driver should be decently stable and not cause that much issues, no matter the distro.

Just know that whatever distro you are choosing, it is a different workflow than Windows and it will take time to get used to it, and there will be some friction. And that’s fine. The first month is the hardest and it gets a lot easier fast.

Take a popular distro because it has a bigger user base and the chances that someone else has already fixed your issue and detailed the steps is a lot bigger than a niche distro.

If you want to easily test a few distro, take a usb key and install Ventoy on it. It will allow you to plug the usb key and drop ISO directly on it and boot from it. It will allow you to easily test distros without having to reformat the usb key each time.

Yeah but it’s an awkward talk in the morning.

I get grumpy when I don’t sleep at home and I need to sleep with boxer briefs. It fucking sucks. Let me be an animal for the time I sleep at the very least please.

Yes, I’ve heard about that theory. The boot example is good because everyone can relate.

Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.

I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.

All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.

Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.

Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.

I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.

One caveat I would note: lots of people can’t afford expensive, durable appliances.

It’s expensive to be poor.

You know why the code is wrong because you have the experience to see where the issue is and what it is.

If you’ve learned coding with LLMs from the start, you won’t acquire the experience needed to be able to tell what is wrong.

I’ve worked with a client that tried to generate code for a HCI bluetooth device, trying to recreate the full Bluetooth stack, instead of picking the right product from the start, with a working stack.

And that was a client that had technical knowledge, just not for Bluetooth and HCI.

And if you try to tell the AI what’s wrong, it will create bullshit code until it kinda works, adding more issues along the way.

I’m sure that AI will replace coders one day, but LLMs aren’t AI and they are neat ready to write decent, complex code.

There is certainly a big part that can be attributed to imperialism, but my (uneducated) pet theory is that technocrats were able to harness the accessibility of big data after the great recession to siphon wealth from working class a lot more efficiently, by radicalizing people.

There had been a big leap from 2005 to 2015-2016 on computing power that enabled the widespread of big data and the corpos with the means to get in on it used it to further enrich their corporation and themselves and created this extremely toxic environment where everything is polarized and monetized.

And with big data, populists can change in real time their message so that they get more money and influence. And tribalism seems to work pretty fucking well. So they finetuned their message to radicalize people and achieve that goal.

People can isolate themselves into online communities that will echo and amplify their views of the world. And now they are pouring on the streets because they’ve became enough of a big group to do so.

Technocrats created this big machine to get rich, and the machine feed itself, giving more power to the ultra rich, which grab more power and influence by radicalizing people.

To be fair, far-right ideologies have been ramping up worldwide since a decade or two.

The current political context just embolden the far right actors to go mask off.

Depends on what access you have on your PC.

My two steps are always the same

1. debloater
2. i install chocolatey and use that to manage my applications if possible.

Then, depending on your work requirements, I would deactivate OneDrive if not used.

The typical customer service is 45 mins ++ of waiting on the line, to be greeted by an agent with a heavy Indian accent that will go through the script before having any chances to have a shot at maybe fixing your issue.

Worst is that some medication will kill your orgasm. So you get your libido back, but you don’t get to enjoy your orgasm anymore.

This is only my experience, so take what follows for what it’s worth (not much).

I have been in the same situation as your partner (though I had sex with my partner more ofte, but still way less than before medication).

Simply put, I was ashamed of my low libido and not in a good headspace even with my medication( which was supposed to help).

I was so ashamed that I didn’t want to initiate sex with my partner. It was not rational, but that is how I felt at the time. And I would sometime watch porn so that I could get the dopamine I would get from sex, without the shame.

I know it won’t make you feel better, but hopefully you can have a different perspective on how your partner might feel and get, hopefully, a new track to find a solution to your problems.

Also, there are some medications that can help with libido (Wellbutrin if I remember correctly). Might be worth it for your partner to check with his doctor.

I would bet that a lot of trucks are larger than the Smart is long.

When my son was born, I had 3 months of parental leave.

The first month was spent just recuperating from work and taking care of my first one. After the first month of sleeping better and not having the stress of work, I started esting a lot better and training and lost 50 pounds in 2 months because I had the time and energy to cook well.

Over the last two years, I’ve gained back 30 pounds because my 2 years old doesn’t sleep and my job is stressful.

So I feel what you said.

What about the other side?

Loot box are still a thing, in a big way. Look at CS2 or the yearly soccer games.

And gacha games on mobile are a plague.

Lootbox is the first step, battlepass close second.

My reason asking is because there are other scheme I feel are more adequate for non relational data, but this isn’t my domain and I barely dabbled in that, so that’s worth absolutely nothing.

But your point about the data being used later makes a lot of sense and I didn’t think about that. Down the road, someone will ask you to create links to your data and if you already have a DB, then you don’t have to change the whole infrastructure to accommodate that. You can create new schemes and already have a somewhat functional access to it.

Thanks for the input.

Side tracking here : to me, it seems like every DB is relational, no?

What use case would a DB used and not be relational? With my minimal experience in DB, I haven’t seen any other use cases than a relational DB.

I am not in the US. Seeed shipping would kill me
