Never said I wasn’t considering it 😉
Be cool to have one, maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. I like me a thiccc keyboard that doubles as a bludgeon, Never liked the “reduced” keebs. Is the cable fully detachable at both ends?

Oof, the model F keyboards are beautiful (in the retro style) but damn that pricetag stings to look at…
3d printing != paper printing. It’s largely hobbyist ran technology, and almost entirely open source. You’re not going to get tracking dots or currency replication prevention into open source software.
Lol, most of this crap is DIY, good luck with that
That and running games in a VM has been known to get you the banhammer for multiplayer.
I actually tried linux (Fedora) this past weekend; I had fewer issues installing and using it as a day to day computer, than I did with Windows. Tried out Gnome and KDE both, preferred gnome but UI scaling (for my shit vision) was simpler out-of-the-box on KDE (about 125-150% was comfortable for me.) I found KDE a bit overwhelmingly customizable to start out with, and maybe a bit bloated.
The caveat to this was Gaming, in my case I did not have a good time with gaming (probably because I am trying to run at 4k and play a game dependant on Ubisoft DRM, as well as an older MMO that doesnt handle high DPI screens and ui scaling). Very frame-y at 4K, a decent amount of tinkering is/was required. YMMV, check ProtonDB as it is heavily dependent on what games you play, and heavily dependent on Steam. If you want to multi-box (without software, just alt-tab through windows) an MMO, I found functionally no information on how to open multiple instances of the same game to do so (which is why I mentioned the dependency on steam, which only seems to let you have one game launched at any given time)
Moving back to windows for gaming felt like a major downgrade as far as general computer work goes. Inside of an hour I had a fully functional, up to date, linux machine. Windows 11 took 1-2 hours to install and update itself, then another hour to install drivers, then longer to de-bloat and start disabling all the stupid shit from Microsoft. I’m sure I’ll be doing that continuously for the next few weeks.
Is it bad that my first thought for “ASCII porn” is a pelvic thrusting stick figure with a boykisser meme head?
As an admin… end users are generally fucking stupid with regards to technology. I don’t trust the average individual to operate a spoon.
I’m more or less determined to make the jump on my next gaming rig build. I assessed my needs, and frankly, there’s nothing I need that Windows offers and Linux doesn’t. I don’t game competitively, I don’t have any real software needs outside of gaming or a browser with appropriate extensions.
Also, I’m a Windows admin at work, and coming home to more microsoft bullshit is getting old.
Edit: honestly the more I think about it I’d probably be better off migrating sooner than later. New gaming rig is a long ways off (GPU prices are batshit crazy and have been for every generation since the 1080TI) and it would do me good career-wise to familiarize myself with linux. Might be a weekend project for me.
I have a Sec+ but that’s just a job requirement; the only parts of the test that I’ve actually used were public/private key cryptography, and even then I was just dumbing it down to explain to end users. Otherwise it’s all just experience.
Degree requirements are mostly there to satisfy HR (and can probably be waived in most cases), IT is realistically a trade profession.
That picture has great meme potential
Hmmm… I have been eyeing a 5950x to upgrade from my 3800x (to turn this rig into a home server, full new gaming rig later).
Private servers and exportable characters, I’d be pissed if all the work I put into a character was gone.
Like… do they just not want money from the main group of digital artists who generate money? It’s literally a meme that the best way to make money as an artist is furry porn
I feel like people just collectively forget how much Facebook owns now. WhatsApp, Instagram, (formerly) Oculus VR, etc
(Assuming SATA) some people get away with drilling a hole in the half opposite the connector, the actual chip is like 1/4th the size of the drive casing. M.2 form factor is just screwed though.
None of these things should exist in the first place. Edge will stay disabled until Microsoft feels its been long enough since the last time they got slapped for it, then they’ll push it again.
Edge “new tab” default is hellishly full of ads and “news”, the Taskbar has stock price information alongside weather and sports, and search in the start menu still shows internet searches. Even on enterprise.
The HP G5 thunderbolt docks are (currently, at least) pretty stable IMO, provided the firmware is up to date on it.
NOT the hp g4 thunderbolt dock, that one the team I’m on is at a level 3 support ticket with HP for monitor issues that render my laptop basically unusable.
