Should be in testing within a day or two, might take a week or more to make it to stable.

edit: this is wrong (sorry!), see replies

Some motherboards explicitly enable wake on LAN as a BIOS option. If not in the BIOS it’s going to be a bit harder, but the software option recommended, (the Archlinux forum link) looks interesting.

Depends on how much power is being transmitted to each base station, but it would have to be a colossal satellite to be “we’re all going to die”.

I pointed that out mostly as a limitation on how much power could be transmitted to each base station.

Microwave scattering is an absolute nightmare over that kind of distance. Even for much shorter distances, microwaves are only practical to transport over a couple of meters in a waveguide.

If its transmitting to a base station, we can assume it’s in geosynchronous orbit, or about 22,000 miles from the surface. With a fairly large dish on the satellite, you could probably keep the beam fairly tight until it hit the atmosphere, but that last ~100 miles of air would scatter it like no tomorrow. Clouds and humidity are also a huge problem – water is an exceptionally good absorber in most of the MW band.

I saw numbers reported for the transmission efficiency somewhere (will update this if I can find it again), and they were sub-30%. The other 70% is either boiling clouds on its way down, or missing the reviever on the ground and gently cooking the surrounding area.

My understanding is that they offer them all, but publishers havent been able to reliably get 8 or 16gb cards. Whether thats Nintendo being shady or some legitimate supply issue, I don’t know.

Yes, on fedora you just click the check box for the Nvidia driver repo in KDE Discover or Gnome Software, and you’re good.

Zettlr! Its designed around writing manuscripts in markdown+latex, then exporting to pure LaTeX, PDF, or any other Pandoc-supported format via a builtin Pandoc GUI. The only thing that doesn’t work particularly well is the table editor, but they’re working on it.

It is electron based, but almost all graphical editors for markdown + inline latex are (obsidian, etc.) because MathJax & KaTeX are the most mature method to render LaTeX inside other document formats.

Obsidian is also good, but it’s not FOSS and their built-in export isn’t great.

Nah, I’ve had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having…

Yeah, mint uses synaptic. Works well in my experience.

Well, I doubt they’ll release one for my clippers since they’re discontinued, so that inspired me to go ahead and model a variable-depth one for myself. Based on some of the comments here, I thickened the comb blades to make them print more easily.

They havent released one for the razor I have, but honestly I might try modeling them myself. Doesn’t seem impossible, and I’ve been waning a deeper comb than they sell.

No no of course not, but it’s a compatibility layer for windows inside linux.

That…is wine.

…and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I’m not sure about that.

Well, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.

Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it’s worth.

I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they’re all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the “card of the right approximate era” thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.

It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.

Yup. Even for technical writing, markdown with embedded LaTeX is great in most cases, thanks largely to Pandoc and its ability to convert the markdown into pure LaTeX. There are even manuscript-focused Markdown editors, like Zettlr.

Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.

A new iteration of open-source drivers for NVIDIA cards which aims to work better and be more feature-complete. Original announcement post here which explains a bit better.
