Glad to hear! out of curiosity, is there anything else bothering you about it?

If you have a flathead screwdriver that fits into the screw head, you could try using that one while gently pressing down

If you don’t want to rma it, it might be best to just install the ssd in the secondary slot and deal tith the screw if you ever need a second ssd. If you know someone who likes to tinker with electronics, ask them to help you remove it

Gnome is the best of the full DEs for productivity, because it just doesn’t get in the way

Btrfs does not stand for butterFS lmao

Helldivers 2 suddenly won’t let you play the game if you don’t connect your Playstation account

Yeah, but I haven’t heard about that for a bit and idk how long that will take

The second that these guys either announce a higher-end AMD GPU or an oculink expansion slot, I’ll finally pull the trigger

I installed ubuntu 24.04 over my previous installation of 23.10 and had literally 0 issues, so I’m going to classify this as user error.

But systemd is modular. They make an offer and distro maintainers and admins get to choose which parts to use

This is the kind of thing that makes poeple love valve

3840x2160 is standard 4k, not 8k

The icon thing can be worked around with something like heimdall. I host my own docker container of it and just set that as my startup page in my browser. Looks much nicer than a blank page and everything happens in my own network.

I work in IT and endpoint management is among my tasks. Knowing the things we can do to smartphones that are controlled by our mdm is enough to where I would never agree to having thatopn my personal device. I even refused to get a company provided smartphone.

What the fuck? Are there really people who allow that?

There IS a plugin for zsh that does exactly that and I’ve been using it without issue for a few months now!

These adapters only exist for pcie 3.0 and m.2 slots for ssds have 4 lanes at best, so you should expect performance to be between thunderbolt 4 and a full x16 slot in a desktop, but it’s been working very reliably for me and is absolutely faster than the iGPU in my laptop. You do typically need a desktop power supply connected to the adapter though, but since it only needs to power the card, it’s fine to go with a lower power one.

I have a laptop with an easily accessible m.2 slot, which I use with an m.2 to pcie x16 adapter to connect an external desktop grapics card to game and run ai. apart from that, a diy nas running opensuse and a couple vms for dns, remote nas access, etc

I bought a pixel from a german carrier in germany and installed GrapheneOS on it and this ‘app’ is still installed.
