This, and for missing drivers, I always have a SSD with SDIO and the latest driver pack (something like 30GB)

Not only cold. Without AC the south of USA would be completely different too.

A used corporate surplus laptop would be far better.

Absolutely, a 3 years old Dell that was $2000 can be had for like $300 sometimes on eBay

There’s multiple DMC on Facebook already, one more group to follow!

Reagan, he is the starting point of everything: the tax cut from 73% to 28%. USA never got back on track after this.

True, for instance in Québec, Canada, it is illegal for a woman to take her husband name.

Yes, I used a hardware KVM with a laptop (Dell with a dock) and a desktop, it makes a lot of wires, but it works. You may need a high end KVM if you want to switch dual-monitor, 4K+ monitor, etc

But having both system at the same time is a must, so at one point I used RDP (windows->linux or linux->windows) from a screen.

But for ~3 years now I’m using a software “KM”, meaning my desktop is connected to a monitor, my laptop is connected to the second monitor, and I share the keyboard/mouse (hence KM) in software using InputLeap (formerly Barrier). It is seriously pretty good, when my mouse exit monitor #1, it enters monitor #2, and whatever you type is entered in the system where your mouse cursor is. It is fantastic, I cannot live without this now.

Netflix in Canada has the 1080p remaster ones, pretty good!

Because people don’t care, for instance how many people don’t wear seatbelts? a lot, 8-10% https://www.iihs.org/topics/seat-belts . See also on youtube “mustang doing mustang things” 😅

You may be interested with input-leap now that they released binaries/packages for various distro

https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap/releases/tag/v3.0.2

I installed it as a linux server and windows client, it works well, my old barrier config is 100% compatible

I saw a couple of DIY portable PC like this, a SFF in a suitcase, a portable 15" screen attached to it, hinge with a small keyboard, etc, in a kind of DIY enclosure.

I wanted to do it with my mini PC (a bee-link, it’s like 4"x5"x2"), with a usb-c portable monitor (no external AC adapter needed), and my Lenovo Trackpoint Keyboard II (super slim, with a trackpoint so no need for external mouse), all in a small Aluminum Attache Case

The pic, can be everywhere in USA, everywhere.

Canada is in America too! In Toronto for instance the average car speed is 12MPH… Always jammed, everywhere. People taking 1h30-2h the morning, and same the evening, to commute 20-25 miles.

I’m in Montreal, it’s about 18mph here. It would take me ~1h+ to do my 20miles.

I WFH.

Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺

Something like 1% of internet traffic is by satellite…

I use something called “TAN Windows Manager” to save windows position and restore them, it may be what you want

Check also this one https://github.com/kangyu-california/PersistentWindows

Also I never tried it but windows powertoys fancy zones may help you, you can edit layout and all

Make sense, great Montreal area is like this for rush hour, 20km/h

Here’s a 11th gen for instance

Just search for “dell 11th gen laptop” or 12th gen etc

I always buy 2-3 years old Dell, Latitude or Precision, some resellers on eBay have thousands of them, they come from companies replacing them, some are completely grade A like new, for a fraction of the price.

the AKSHUALLY is quite strong

lol, yeah true, same as the linux community here is pretty much Arch BTW, but it’s good-natured
