That comes from the description in the page’s HTML. Maybe their server uses an Intel processor.

From there the messages said to have been sent from Howell become increasingly dark, lecturing the crew on beastiality and how it’s a “weird sin,” calling them perverts," and then telling vio “you won’t be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you’re getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year.”

Overall, not a good look for an organization touting Christian value

Conservatives and especially conservative Christians have some very particular obsessions.

How do you know you never had malware if you have no means to check for malware? It’s not like it will announce itself.

It sounds like these CPUs may be degenerating with use, so some can start out good and then turn bad after a few months. You’d never be sure whether you had a good one or just a bad one that hadn’t revealed itself yet.

The Copilot in Windows and in Bing is quite bad, but the Github Copilot seems better. If you know of a clearly better one for programming I’m interested in trying things out.

Opt-in is an improvement, but Microsoft does have a history of making nominally opt-in features practically very difficult to avoid.

Windows is already pretty unbearable.

But think of all the benefits this bitcoin mine brings for society, like, er, …

That said, without proper studies it’s questionable whether the mine is causing the illnesses.

Am I likely to be annoyed about where the fiber comes into the house?

That one depends on the company installing it. When I got it installed they asked me exactly where I wanted the fiber to terminate and ran it through the house to an outlet under my desk. So let them know and they might put it where you need it.

As for the router, I recommend buying a mini PC with at least 2 Ethernet ports and 4GB of RAM and running OPNsense. It’s great and will give you all the control you need. Or you can repurpose any old PC you have lying around and just add some Ethernet ports on a PCIE card.

I’ve pulled Linux boot drives out of one machine to stick them in a very different machine (e.g. from a 6th gen Intel i7 with an AMD GPU to an AMD 5950X with an NVIDIA GPU) and they almost always just work or require only minor tweaks. Chances are it will be fine.

Linux: Libre Office

Windows: MS Office

Libre Office is also available on Windows.

“Free software” doesn’t mean you don’t pay for it, but that it respects and preserves the user’s freedom. The opposite is not “cost software” but unfree software.

What is free software?

Most of the other points in this list are also questionable or inaccurate. In fact, I think the only true one is the first one: open source vs closed source.

It’s the best of the Chromium-based browsers, but closed-source is a shame. I wish Firefox would copy some of Vivaldi’s UI ideas.

I don’t recommend PopOS! because I think the Gnome UI is confusing to people who have only used Windows before.

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

KDE Plasma is so much more snappy and functional than Windows. Linux has lots of good options.

I wouldn’t expect it to benchmark well, but it’s good that they’re making this available so developers can explore RISC-V on a good quality platform.

The last Windows that had any MS-DOS in it was Windows ME, a quarter of a century ago. Everything since then has run on the NT kernel.

I guess they say it each time they’re caught not prioritizing security. Then back to management as usual, prioritizing bullshit new features and marketing over security and bug fixes.

In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security

Sounds like the old Microsoft attitudes are alive and well.
