Free speech and expression is one of the many previously-thought-to-be-inalienable rights that are in the current administration’s crosshairs. If I could flee this country for, say, the Netherlands, I’d do so in a heartbeat, unfortunately I can’t.

Good luck trying to ban OSS next, which would criminalize basically everyone who’s ever used a browser that isn’t IE, everyone who’s ever used an Android phone or a Chromebook, everyone who’s ever used any modern audio or video codec as the bulk of those are OSS too, and would destroy both Big Data and the Cloud, both of which are primarily Linux-based, and send the US back to the web’s dark ages.
Also, since this bill punishes people by making them spend most of their lives in prison, how are they going to lock up everyone who’s ever used Chromium or Firefox browsers, for example, or everyone who’s ever used Android or ChromeOS, which is most of the country’s population at this point, should that ban extend to a general OSS ban? (this part was originally a reply but I moved it to the main post)
My current GPU has no RGB (PowerColor Fighter RX 6600), and I’m just using basic G.Skill Aegis RAM atm. Mainboard’s a PRIME B350-Plus which was updated to BIOS 6042 so it can take 4000-series and 5000-series CPUs.
Just like his grifts.
Hopefully this trade war doesn’t devolve into an actual war…
I’d buy the new PC so that your own PC can actually be your own still and your work stuff can be relegated to that new PC.
There’s plenty of really good reason to not mix work and pleasure on your main PC, your employer or school effectively taking ownership of your main, personal system being one big one.
Optionally, I’d also just start looking for new work if you work for a BYOD place.
I could, there’s an option in the BIOS settings, I just don’t because my mainboard’s RGB is so low-key that it doesn’t really matter if I leave it on or not, and its default setting is to pulsate.
Fooyin’s great so far as a Foobar2k alternative.
Still can, RGB is at a minimum in my PC, the only RGB currently at play is some pulsing lights on the mainboard which I choose to ignore as it’s not hurting anything.
Thanks! And technically it’s still around just under a new name - the OM System OM-series, but the camera that replaced the E-M5 is a GF2.
Also, some people argue that the CCD in certain 4/3 DSLRs is film-like in how it captures images.
Also, since Leica makes MFT glass, I kinda wonder why they never made any MFT bodies as their entry-level lineup while APS-C and full-frame L-mount could be their mainstream lineup and the M-mount rangefinders could be positioned as their halo products - something that Leica customers could hypothetically aspire to.
Thanks! That kid-like look was what I was going for.
Based on how increasingly user-hostile Windows has been getting lately, I don’t trust it outside of a VM or outside of a second system I don’t care about if I want or need to run it baremetal for some reason, and that includes LTSC.
At least LTSC for now seems to be spared from MS’ worst anti-user atrocities, but there’s nothing saying those SKUs won’t get screwed somehow at some point down the line.
If Elon isn’t a full-blown Nazi, he’s at minimum a Nazi sympathizer. His actions at the inauguration proved where his allegiances lie.
Look who’s talking, mofo… The guy did things that screwed over advertising on the late Twitter.
Assuming it’s not completely useless for this purpose, you could load FreeDOS on it and use it for playing older PC games.
MS-DOS 6.22 would be sub-optimal as it was designed with 486-era and older hardware in mind and since it doesn’t support FAT32 and only supports FAT16, you’re limited to 2GB partitions, while FreeDOS is actually designed with newer hardware like this in mind and supports FAT32 and thus larger drives.
