I'm sorry.

So I'm just supposed to go to work tomorrow as if the future isn't completely fucked?!

OMG.

The USB ports are fine. I just had to go into Windows 10 that was installed and "BLESS" the USB drive to boot.

That's right. It's no longer up to your BIOS but up to Microsoft to handle USB Booting...

@murph This is my first one. So far it seems to work perfectly. All my 60w USB-C devices will power on the laptop.

Trying out these USB-C adapter cables for older Laptops. So far it works as advertised but now I can use a portable power brick.

This might be the best option for older computers.

Okay, so this laptop I'm trying to fix doesn't see my flash drives. It might be too old to USB boot...

Maybe I need to try a USB 1.1 flash drive...

Fractal is an almost perfect #Matrix client. The only thing it needs is encryption support (that's coming soon maybe?) and tray icon integration.

It'll probably never get the latter because tray icons are against the GNOME desktop design.

FINALLY! Live Captions for Linux

Dreamworks' #MoonRay render engine has been released as Open Source under the Apache License.

Look forward to seeing how this will be used with #Blender.

A clean used Intel i5-4590. Only 4 cores/4 threads but it was free.

I forgot to post this yesterday.

Got new Soundpeats headphones with the #LDAC codec. I knew that LDAC was semi lossless (similar to FLAC or ALAC) but I was not expecting that the latency would be so small.

I can properly edit video or do music with these earbuds. They sound really good, especially for how cheap they are.

Thank goodness for:

This has been the biggest upgrade to #CSS in years. Especially with video embedding.

I'm very old. #1.

Everything made in 1927 is now #PublicDomain.

Using Moises and #Ardour to remaster old songs from 1927.

Here's a stereo mix of "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" by "Ben Bernie and His Orchestra"

I think I did a decent job.

I think of this every time my boss copies from Microsoft Word and the pasted output is an image of the text.

AN IMAGE!

How is that usable Microsoft?!

My favorite part about the modern web is that everything is endlessly connected. I can ssh into my vps > raspberry pi > full home network from almost any device.

Everything has a terminal and everything can run or at least emulate Linux.

Need some sort of odd web service? Just spin up a tiny docker, it'll work.
