no, that's heresy. four things though, that can be bad

two things can be bad at the same time

We got to the moon in the last big arms race so maybe something good will come of it

He's why i stopped my recurring donation to lemmy development.

There was some fiddling to do post installation to get wifi and audio through the speakers working (although careful with this, apparently fiddling with alsa can cause hardware damage. you have to set a kernel flag for it to work).

It's mostly fine, The omnibook is apparently one of the least problematic models in getting shit working. There isn't a catch all guide though you have to sort of figure it out from the launchpad bug comments

The function bar at the top doesnt have the shortcuts for things like vol up and vol down working; it's literally just F1-12, wasnt a big deal for me. and apparently, although i havent tried it myself yet, external displays over HDMI isnt working. screen bightness goes up to 95ish% and then for some reason drops down to basically nothing which is kind of weird but not game breaking. Software support is reasonably good since a lot of linux stuff is already compiled for ARM because of the Raspberry Pi and other SBCs. mine is currently running the "Raspberry Pi" build of Private Internet Access

I set it all up pretty quickly before i flew off on holiday. i did a two and a bit hour flight watching movies and still had 75% battery.

couple days later i did a 4 hour train journey watching movies and having bluetooth and wifi with VPN active and was trying (and failing) to compile stuff and ended the journey with like 30% battery

It's mostly silent so long as you keep it on a hard surface.

Honestly it's game changing not having to hover around a power outlet. i'm probs selling my 2020 Razer when i get back to the UK

i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work

thoughts and prayers

i settled on Manjaro in the end for my desktop PCs. it has the flexibility of Arch including use of the AUR but i don't have to put much effort into setting it up

This was in the desert in texas wasn't it?

good chance nobody has been in that particular spot for a long time

Perhaps i'm misinterpreting candlestick charts but earlier today i noticed that briefly HE1 dropped to 0.08p before jumping back up to essentially what it was before, that is a huge drop if true.

what happened?

 

i'm not serving this anywhere. it's just in a html file i'm opening locally, and it uses ChartJS. I'm trying to create charts for each day of a given csv of data so i can complain to my ISP about their DOGSHIT service. for some reason only the last chart is rendering and i can't figure out why, there's nothing in the console. I'm not a frontend guy so could be something very obvious.

I have 4 days of data so there should be 4 charts. The actual amount of data is much much larger than the subset i have posted below; over 6000 datapoints per day

I saw other kentish towns (see !ashford@feddit.uk) had communities. so thought i would create one for Maidstone too

 

In b4 "You wont make a profit"... i know, i want to use my computer to heat my apartment. i figure that even if i'm making a "loss" each month on the mining it's still cheaper than running my apartments electric heaters when you account for the sold (or not) bitcoin.

I've been doing well keeping things warm by Folding at home on the CPU but apparently AMD GPUs aren't supported for that and i want to put my GPU to work too.

I briefly mined some litecoin in like 2013/14 when BTC was just about popping off. other than that i have no mining experience (and i would have been using windows back then)

Need to sort something soon, Jan and Feb are probs the coldest months in the UK and i have gotten this far this year without using the heaters

I currently own two canon cameras, an EOS M10 i bought around 2017/2018 new for around £150 and a secondhand EOS 1300d i bought last week from a second hand electronics shop for £110 (body only, i already had lenses from an old EOS 200d)

Spec wise they seem to be extremely similar cameras just with the 1300 being larger with better lenses and more manual features

My dad mentioned that he was thinking of buying a new camera as his one was bought way back in like 2010 and wasn't a particularly up to date model at the time so i am considering selling him my M10.

looking at ebay though they seem to be going for £200-400 which i find a bit strange for a camera that first hit the market back in 2015 and is way more than i paid new (although reduced to clear) from John Lewis.

Am i missing something? How much is the M10 worth? and is it really worth more than it's newer (2016) DSLR counterpart?

 

I want to display a symbol at the top right of one or both of my screens, similar to the lightning bolt symbol raspberry pi OS uses to indicate lack of power, when certain conditions are met.

I'm pretty sure i could cobble a bash script together to decide when to do it, but it's the actual displaying of the symbol i'm not sure where to start on. It would need to appear on top of anything else that may be on the screen at the time

Everything i have tried googling returns irrelevant results
