There should be a a button that you can press repeatedly to open up a boot menu - it can be the delete key, f2, etc.

Depending on how new your laptop is, you may need to disable something called “Secure Boot”. Keep in mind if your windows installation is encrypted with BitLocker or whatever else Windows is using these days. If it is encrypted, and you have secure boot enabled you may run into issues booting back into Windows - it will freak out that secure boot was disabled and require your encryption key.

At least, that’s what happened with my ROG Zephyrus M16 - I had to find my BitLocker key to boot into Windows and then decrypt it using the settings menu.

Also, if you want to be able to use both Windows and Linux - see if your laptop has an expansion port for a second hard drive. Windows historically has screwed over dual booted Linux grub with updates, and if you can just boot to a entirely different drive that won’t happen.

Good fucking luck with that now that Chevron has been overturned.

Did congress explicitly say the FCC could do that when they wrote a law creating the FCC? No? We’ll say goodbye on appeals.

Of course my shit hole state would have not one, not two, but three horrible people vying for governor.

There’s a question that has always bothered me. Wtf do you do now that you have an obviously stolen, used catalytic converter? Find an unscrupulous junk yard? Take it to a pawn shop?

I’m luckily enough to work on a small team like the one you described, and yeah - our trello board isn’t fully fleshed out. We can put vague descriptions of what needs to be done and the team gets it done.

I think SMART goals are one of those rare times where an HR course writer unintentionally hit on something that some people need to hear. There’s a junior engineer on my team whose goal was just, “I want to get better at infosec” - not measurable, time boxed, etc. by trying to at least hit one or two of the guidelines, they were able to flesh out this goal into things like “I want to attend a major security conference this year” and “I will study for, and achieve my Security+ cert”.

It worked for them - and helped them clarify their broad nebulous goal into smaller specific and achievable goals - but obviously like all business/hr things SMART goals aren’t for everyone.

For those not familiar, this is a fairly good explanation of SMART goals.

Plus oh-my-zsh and the powerline 10k theme - this is my go-to shell.

I’m a few months into using CachyOS on my zephyrus gaming laptop and it’s been a joy.

I actually ran into my first issue yesterday and had to boot into the windows drive for the first time in what feels like forever - I needed a Windows only display editor program for Nextion screens.

I tried the installer on bottles and playonlinux, But I couldn’t get the program to load. I will try again today so that if I have to load it up in the future I don’t have to switch back to Windows, but on the off chance anybody knows how to fix it I’m all ears.

Bean does that all the time, it’s very hard to tell her no.

Yeah, and she can use boulders to block attacks - but it looks like the main method of attacking will be using echos of baddies. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I cannot over state how much I love that “Legend of Zelda” finally stars Zelda, not to mention the art style… But why did they give her apparently no offensive capabilities? Why wouldn’t she be able to swing a sword? I want to see my Zelda kick ass, not summon monsters to fight for her.

Moon reader is my go-to. Unfortunately it doesn’t sync reading progress, but since I only read on my tablet it’s not too bad.

I would have had off today.

I would have had today off today.

That’s how I handled my “smart” TV - I had a spare minipc from my old homelab, threw Linux on it and plugged it into the HDMI port.

It has never connected to my network, despite the BestBuy employee insisting it would need firmware updates for better picture.

Nanu nanu!

Oh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn’t code something like this to save my life.

I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.

This. My first serious network upgrade was splitting out the router/firewall, Wifi, and switching to a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite, 8 port Netgear managed switch, and a Ubiquiti AP Pro.

It ended up being around the price of a night hawk, but I had way better control over the firewall/NAT rules and it made future upgrades less painful as I could just target the switching vs WiFi for a change.

As a side note, nearly all wifi routers that I’ve come across can act as just a access point. My current setup is using the Orbi mesh wifi system to get a decent signal to my attic bedroom.

This game was easily one of my favorites to playthrough blind, then go back and do a 100% achievement run. “Choices matter” actually applies as main characters can just die, and their absence completely changes the outcome of the game.

It was a delight.

Yup.
