Small linux-friendly laptop
  • good point

    the novelty touchpad/numpad combo device on my asus thing also doesn't work but i'm fine with that

    so i guess if you have specific device requirements from the laptop, make sure they do work before buying

    Bots are running rampant. How do we stop them from ruining Lemmy?
  • fair enough

    in this case it would be the british government that already has my passport and driver license photos stored digitally so this would just be to validate a digital login as a real person

    would that change your mind at all?

    Kind (and therefore trustworthy) mini PC manufacturers
  • i love the idea of mini pc too but i really want to be sure that they are:

    • really good at low power scenarios and adapting when usage goes up
    • really low noise and easy to clean if fans and dust involved (i wonder if passive cooling would be better/possible)

    generally i don't think they need to be very powerful for my self hosting needs

    Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be
  • disappointingly i agree with Pete. with vast new open worlds like no mans sky i think the standard of generative AI could weave good plots, locations, characters and mcguffins

    whole game mechanics and voice acting and animation however, i doubt

  • However, if I log in and immediately log out, Wayland is available on the login screen and you log in to a Wayland session.

    This is identical on both my laptops, they are very different in hardware and performance. This started happening after updates about 3 weeks ago.

    I have looked at logs and I can see the subsystems trying Wayland and falling back to X but I can't see an obvious reason (probably my lack of experience at this).

    Anyone else experienced similar?
