That’s really rather neat

Oh how I wish that were true

“I wish I was a baller.”

Always do tick checks

the nix docs explain it well, but the tldr is by being clever ;)

it’s not one magic bullet

250mb?? can that even fit a web browser?

bullying trans people in their discord

People are making this to be much more of a fuss than it really is. It’s actually fairly easy:

You can write the linux iso to the NVMe, boot the NVMe, then write the linux install onto the same NVMe. This requires the linux iso load itself into RAM on boot, which is most of them, but not all.

Never heard of PHA, do you like using it?

microfluidics is so hot right now

dmidecode is a tool for reading loads of platform registers, it is obviously not the only way to do it, or even the intended way really. Riot has almost certainly implemented the functionality from scratch in their anticheat, it’s a relatively trivial thing to do.

slop

There is a standard. A power source only needs to provide sufficient voltage to reach it’s rated power, given the maximum current of 3A on a non-eMarked cable, given voltage steps of 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V. Offering higher voltages than is neccesary is optional. This means that only adapters greater in power than 27W are required to support 15V, and only adapters greater in power than 45W are required to support 20V.

IMO, this is not unresonable. Would you prefer manufacturers be forbidden from offering voltage profiles higher than is necessary for their power rating?

(This is not neccesarily true for powers above 60W, and ignores PPS, EPR, and AVS. Above 60W you need eMarked cables and it gets a bit more complicated)

Boogie!

Debian is a good choice, I would encourage you to never touch Ubuntu or any of it’s derivatives.

No, it translates system calls. Very different.

An entirely reasonable sum.

I assure you, if you are a brokie like the rest of us, you will not have the money to spare in the ensuing recession. Honestly I expect personal computing is dead, likely for a decade or more, if it ever comes back.
