If you everyday tasks include document signing or scanning with a Wifi printer, then maybe steer clear of Bazzite and Kionite and opensuse Aeon/kalpa.
I would go for just normal fedora or opensuse tumbleweed instead.
Mint is also great if you don’t have a “fresh off the production line new hardware”.
Pi pico* (now also pi pico 2) it anyone is searching for it. Raspberry pi is the SBC line.
For hobby work altium is quite ridiculous.
I design with Altium professionally every day. It is buggy spaghetti code that they got that way by shoving more and more productivity-centered features in there with little thought.
The libraries are a complete and utter shitshow also, which is why pretty much every company just makes their own.
It works (usually) and you can design fast with it, but for someone lightly using it for hobbies, it is a massive overkill and steep learning curve to not get any benefit over KiCAD in the end unless they want to start doing multichannel complex flex-rigid designs with mechanical linked integration.
Plus for someone wanting to just do a half hour or hour of designing in their free time, the 3-5 minute startup time would also get annoying.
Well trump literally bragged that musk used his resources to tamper with voting machines.
Putin said that he hoped Trump would win and admitted to authorizing large “operations” (read: massive astroturfing campaigns at the least) the help trump win. Clear foreign government election tampering.
Not to mention that in 2020, every single republican blew up and made accusations that the election was tampered with and throughout the past 2 decades of history at least, literally every single time that they mass accused people of doing something, it was because they were projecting and they, themselves were doing it. They were obsessed with accusing the other side of voting machine tampering, if it was projecting, then they themselves were likely doing it or attempting it.
Additionally that there is a far-fetched (read, no presented evidence) report from an ex-cia whistleblower that it was tampered with
A conspiracy theory that I personally think wouldn’t be crazy is that the voting machine tampering was already done in 2020 by the republicans on a very small scale as a proof of concept, and they made a massive multi-month campaign on it, tired everyone, judges and population alike on the baseless claims they made so that when they full-scale began vote tampering, nobody would believe anyone that wanted to investigate possible vote machine tampering. They might have weaponized the boy who cried wolf principle.
I recently saw a video where someone had done the math if the sun output literally 1% less energy (or I guess shading 1% that reaches earth would be the same) and it would literally throw us into another ice age lol, and apparently models say that even that wouldn’t fix the damage done to our oceans and it would actually speed up acidification.
Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.
I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.
I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.
Yep, it is made by google to replace google fit api.
Immich!
Keeping personal photos off someone else’s server and stopping google and apple from training their AI on your nudes.
Two things that I haven’t seen yet.
Much higher general tech and math/stats literacy than other spaces on the internet
An overwhelming hatred for Nintendo when most of the rest of the internet swallows their boot in order to play their new games because let’s face it, they make some of the most well-polished 3D platformers.
It’s funny because trump is literally about as much as “the swamp” as you could be. Born with a golden spoon, socialized with only the elites, and personally fucked over working class people literally every chance he has.
Physical buttons will now be required in the EU, so hopefully that problem will be less.
My ID4 was horrible with that. Only oversensitive capacitive touch buttons and an extremely laggy touchscreen.
I have “looked it up” and I have designed medical PPG devices professionally also. They absolutely do not “estimate” your heart rate any more than holding your finger to your wrist and counting your heart beats in a minute. That is also “estimation” just like literally all physical measurements that are measured for less than t=infinity are.
Of course, there are manufacturers and models that do it badly, especially during weightlifting or heavy flexion/high wrist impact activities.
1 lead ECG can also very very reliably measure your heart rate even during and that is what chest straps like the Polar H10 do in a variety of exercises.
Here is a good overview of fitness watch PPG testing in a variety of scenarios and how it correlates to 1 lead ECG. This guy does tons and tons of extended tests. I just chose a recent one that has recent devices. Even sleep cycle recognition in modern smart watches is getting better and better correlation to EEG, which this guy also tests sometimes.
Stress, recovery times, VO2max, etc… All of the “1 degree removed” statistics are generally a loose educated guess and generally crap.
Heart rate, HRV, skin temperature, speed with GPS + IMUs, and to a certain extent relative activity intensity can be directly measured and are not a guess if the device is designed and tested well (which admittedly, only like 10% of devices are)
Blood pressure measurements using the principle of delay between electrical signals and pressure wave elasticity is also being FDA certified right now as accurate to a certain percentage of medical pressure cuffs.
Right? I listen to Regulation Podcast and MBMBAM, sometimes you need a break from seriousness
Wtf does IAG literally own everything?
It is
However, for file transfer, LocalSend is a smoother UX and supports almost any device for transfer. It won me over from KDE connect because I can transfer things with different phones, friends’ comuters when they are here, work computer in rare cases with a portable install and no need to bond anything.
That’s perfect! I ran my server on an old HP laptop for 2 years before I put together a desktop SFF server with 2nd hand gaming PC parts.
Just throw Debian or opensuse MicroOS on it and take off!
Even for a step in between the two if you need more storage, I used one of these docking stations that you can get for cheap to add more storage.
I think android HealthConnect doesn’t get enough notice as it is a kind of silent background service.
It is local, opt-in, and privacy respecting connection API for sharing data between fitness apps with fine control over what gets shared where. You can have the shittiest privacy-violating fitness app and it can’t just steal all of the data from your smartwatch or whatever because you connect the two apps via a stupid cloud integration.
Contrary to that, for whatever reason I get a hardware survey 2 times a year or so. (Running Linux for 8 years). I think it might have to do with some algorithm based on play time or something. There is little sense for steam to select a steam account that is completely inactive so it must take that into account somehow
I haven’t been able to get flatpaks (what you have to use on Bazzite and Kionite) to work with a wifi scanner and I have been using Linux since 2016, so not really beginner friendly. Apparently some people have gotten it working, but still, it works generally out of the box on Fedora, Mint, and Opensuse Tumbleweed I think.
WiFi printing works fine though.
But if you have a USB printer, or don’t use the scanner of your WiFi printer, Bazzite is great!
