I’ve cracked open a few faulty sata SSDs. Quite a few of the recent models are just 2242 or 2230 m.2 ssd’s with a converter. Even bigger 2TB ones.

M.2 to sata converters will probably come to your rescue. But probably not as cheap as you were hoping.

We still have just as many landlines, if not more. They are just internet connections now. Probably even more suitable for connecting to the real world.

Ask Intel how well compromising long term product development for short term gain is working now. How is their bank balance looking now?

You also cant just pick it up from scratch again. The people are gone, the relationships are gone and people who trusted your brand to build their businesses have gone elsewhere.

I swear businesses are run like political parties these days, they simply dont care about anything beyond the next cycle.

Translation, Micron is shutting down Crucial for short term shareholder value at the cost of a sustainable and proven long term brand and channel.

Easing is not removing.

Anything more than a warning and disclaimer popup is too much.

As long as the button says buy, then its ownership and should be treated like physical goods.

You are just exchanging a belly fat government for a ass fat government. They jist store the fat in different places.

Exactly. No need to add the executive toxicity filter

Executive positions are probably the easiest to replace with AI.

1. AI will listen to the employees
2. They will try to be helpful by providing context and perspective based on information the employee might not have.
3. They will accept being told they are wrong and update their advice.
4. They will leave the employee to get the job done, trusting that the employee will get back to them if they need more help.

Ubuntu LTS based distro. Heavily customized Gnome to make it more familiar for those coming from windows. They have a paid support tier for some business and enterprise features.

Think you commented in the wrong thread.

Both have an Ubuntu base

Mint develops their own desktop called Cinnamon which is like a cross between Gnome2 and windows 7 UIs. Its looks a bit bland, but some people prefer that.

Zorin uses Gnome3, but is heavily customized to give people a choice between windows 7, windows 10 or MacOS type experiences. The UI does look a lot more modern than mint in the looks department. They also have a commercial support option.

Both have a pretty good suite of software for customization and management.

Personally I’m loving Bazzite, which is Fedora based with a lot of customizations for gaming and modern hardware. It’s also immutable, which makes it difficult to break.

… people settled, setup markets and markets were used to exchange goods and services, but most importantly, hearsay and gossip.

I choose Satan over the party of Pedophiles.

Imagine getting out of the excavator to go to the loo and getting hit in the head by a brick.

Yep, Bazzite has been great for me on my gaming PC. Never going back.

Because they needed to kill someone who will draw sympathy from the majority of their base.

You can plug your system into a free platform like opensolar, which allows you to play with the design to see what the effect of upgrades would be during the course of the year.
