Technology@lemmy.world•The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside USEnglish
101·16 hours agoSo the FCC won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see…they try to shut down the internet on my pc, but it would be so empty without me!

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft blocks registry trick that unlocked performance-boosting native NVMe driver on Windows 11 — workarounds still exist to enable support, howeverEnglish
52·18 hours agoZorinOS. I’m still on 17, because 2 years ago on my TwisterOS (raspberry pi) I used sudo update all, and that broke some shit.
So when I installed ZorinOS on my PC, I immediately disabled all updates, and it sits exactly as it was when I installed it. Never updated in 2 years. I haven’t broken anything.
I want to install this thing called docker, but it’s been so long that now I forget what it even was I wanted to install. I just remember docker was a prerequisit.
But I tried for 2 weeks, and it gives errors. And the thing is, if I understood linux, I’m sure it’s a simple fix. It’s like wandering into a house you’ve never been in before, and your friend is saying “turn the lights on!!!” and you know you need to turn the lights on, but you have no idea how. And you don’t feel the light switch on the wall. What you don’t know is it’s actually a clapper light switch. So you don’t even know what you’re doing wrong.
Thats how linux feels to me.
But for browsing the web, and playing games, it seems to work decent enough.
Although recently my bluetooth has been wonky. Very recent behavior. Used to just be rock solid. Now sometimes my devices won’t connect. Gotta turn off bluetooth, and then turn it back on. Then turn the device back on, and it’ll connect like normal.
In windows, I’d say uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth driver. In linux I have zero clue how I would even start that process.
Again, in a dark room not sure what to do.

51·18 hours agoI tried installing it a year ago. It wouldn’t install for some reason.
Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe their newest version has bug fixes.

63·19 hours agoI’m in Ohio. I wonder how hard it’d be to drive to Canada, pick up a router, and drive back?
Or hell…maybe just drive to Canada. I’m sure I can find a job and a place to live, right? Just go to a Tim Hortons and say “Hey, I’m gonna work hete now, because fuck America!” and Canadians are like, legally obligated to be nice. I’m sure it’ll all work out, as long as I share some donuts.
The hardest part will be getting used to pink money.
I mean, seriously Canada? You a big fan of monopoly money?

674·19 hours agoMan…I don’t even like linux. I don’t know what I’m doing. I have difficulty understanding what I’m even doing wrong. I have issues installing software unless it’s a flatpak.
And yet for the past 2 years I’ve been exclusively running linux. Not so much against my will, but against my wants.
What I want is WindowsXP 2.0. Just WindowsXP but able to run modern hardware, in a 64 bit software version.
Instead, we get Windows 11. I will not stand for buying hardware, paying for software to run an OS, only to be told I own nothing, my privacy is not respected, my screen real estate is theirs to sell, and the software spies on me.
So I want you to know, as a lifelong windows user, dating back to Windows 3.1, and going all the way to Windows 8.1, I want you to know I say this as a Windows user who feels held hostage on linux…
That being said…FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!! FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF WITH YOUR BULLSHIT! FUCK COPILOT! FUCK TILES! WINDOWS 10! FUCK WINDOWS 11! FUCK AI PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS! FUCK YOUR ARTIFICIAL TECH LIMITS TO RUN WINDOWS 11! FUCK YOUR WHOLE MINDSET THESE PAST 15 YEARS!!! I HAVE BEEN UNHAPPILY USING LINUX FOR 2 YEARS EXCLUSIVELY AFTER TRYING IT OFF AND ON FOR 20 YEARS. NEVER UNDERSTOOD TERMINAL, MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND TERMINAL, BUT FUCK YOU MICROSOFT! I REFUSE YOUR BULLSHIT!

Technology@lemmy.world•The US bans all new foreign-made network routersEnglish
21·19 hours agoQuick question. What would happen if China decided to get angry about this, and stop selling 100% of their goods to American companies unless they allowed 100% of their goods to be sold without restrictions?

Technology@lemmy.world•New computer chip material inspired by the human brain could slash AI energy useEnglish
302·4 days agoYeah. I can believe that forces within the human brain could help AI reduce it’s power consumption.
Step 1) Turn off AI.
Step 2) There is no step 2.
At least, that’s what my brain thought.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they worked hard for it(including waiting 24 hours)English
416·5 days agoLegally? Maybe not.
But Col Sanders left KFC after selling a business he created with his own secret reciepe. Then after he sold it, he watched the new owners use his image to sell an inferior chicken product.
So he started up another new chicken resteraunt using the original reciepe. Legally he couldn’t call it KFC, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was the original KFC reciepe.
Hows that phrase go? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.
Call things whatever word you want, it’s still the same thing in the end.

10·5 days ago…Well I’m fairly sure this comment isn’t AI generated. Usually with AI, I at least understand the projected message.
Here, I’m fairly certain that not all of those are even real words! Who just sits there and makes up fake words, as if they were real? Hmmph. A real loser, that’s who!

610·5 days agoWell, that runs into a different problem with the same results.
Sure, GOOGLE can’t hinder you from installing apps, but the fact that nobody has heard of these OS’s before means your selection of available apps is what hinders your ability to install apps.
