I dropped a screenshot and it worked great. Like a screenshot of sports practices.

that's a good addition to fresh editor (also tui) and both rust
free652··on Microsoft offers buyouts up to 7% of US employees
>I feel like paying your most experienced employees to quit is exactly the opposite of what Microsoft needs right now.

I always felt thats the deal. But not a lot of people left the company when one was given, and we have rolling buys out now so people are trying to time buyout + a new job offer.

>Switching to 100% European cloud'

Yea, they are even worse. They would sell out in a sec once goverment is going after them.

free652··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
That's dual use infrastructure. Its also used for military and goverment purposes, right? The same as China providing weapons components to Russia, masking them as "civilian".
free652··on OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
the boards now are pricier, at least the framework one. I got it for 1700, and now its ~$2400.

free652··on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips
Cost. You are about to making computers 10-20% more expensive.

Computers also aren't used much these days, and phones and tables don't have ECC

free652··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
Looks like they are banning for using Gemini CLI / antigravity (subscription) endpoints instead of using Gemini API (pay as you go) endpoints.
free652··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
What dataset? Isn't the article clearly specified a different number?

Your context sucks, and it's good as a lie.

>Waymo reports 51 incidents in Austin alone in this same NHTSA database, but its fleet has driven orders of magnitude more miles in the city than Tesla’s supervised “

>withholding evidence from the prosecution, you are going to jail if you follow.

Prosecution must present a valid search warrant for *specific* information. They don't get a carte blanche, so uber way is correct. lock computers and lets the courts to decide.

free652··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
>This is just false. Amdgpu is an in tree kernel module and has been forever. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/gpu/amdgpu/index.html

You are arguing and arguing and shifting goal posts as we go.

The facts are:

* I am running the latest amdgpu video driver.

* AI 395 wasn't released yesterday, but a year ago.

* (My original point) Many different permutations of hardware / os / kernel / drivers / window manager / etc.

I highly doubt that installing Ubuntu 25.10 will fix the issue. Can you provide that guarantee? No. Then we can stop talking.

>Drivers are part of the kernel in Linux

While the drivers at the runtime are part of the kernel, they are not distributed as part of the kernel.

My drivers are *latest* -> 6.16.6.30200100-2255209.24.04

https://instinct.docs.amd.com/projects/amdgpu-docs/en/latest...

Debian is *stable*, but you are so far only proving my point in my original post.

If you are going to download ubuntu, the version proposed is 24.04 that has older kernel version than my debian 13.

https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop -> Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS -> Kernel 6.8

free652··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
debian 13 is using kernel 6.12 vs ubuntu 24 6.14. I don't think it's a kernel issue, and more that amd drivers aren't there yet for the new hardware.

running the latest also is problematic, i.e. a new kernel upgrade that blows thing up.

and that's the main difference between linux and windows, windows just works, osx just works, linux is a minefield of different quirks.

free652··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
I switched to Debian/Cinnamon few weeks ago. I am fairly good with the server sides of things, but the desktop a little painful.

Screens dont wake up properly, sometimes only one screens wakes up, sometimes one screen wakes up with a wrong resolution. The usual linux desktop problems where nothing really works and finding a solution is very hard to many different permutations of hardware / os / kernel / drivers / window manager / etc.

I have the framework desktop with AMD 395+

My windows ssd is plugged and I can boot it directly using virt-manager, so thats kinda solves some windows specific stuff like tax software.

>(Ukraine was richer than Poland in 1993...)

Lol that's an absolute false statement. Ukraine was never richer than Poland, when it became a country (1991) economy went down a lot. So in 1993 - hahaha.

free652··on China has added forest the size of Texas since 1990
Why? I would expect China to be at the top since it's #1 manufacturing country? But India is like behind Germany at (5).

How about GDP per emission? And that would make China way higher than US.

Ohhh so they aren't like selling weapon to Russia? Right. Keep going.
free652··on EU to block Big Tech from new financial data sharing system
Well you found one, and I can tell you about time when in EU that a place took a hard print of my card in the last 5 years! Didn't even know that card imprinters still exists.

Zelle is not just person to person, it's just a transfer. You can pay businesses, people and even transfer to yourself. Zero fees.

Europe is a big continent and I can easily find a place that is way more backwards ;)

Also 2 letters from EMV stands for 2 American companies :).

free652··on EU to block Big Tech from new financial data sharing system
>magnetic swipe card phaseout.

Swipe? I don't recall a time when I needed to swipe in US in the last few years. Pretty much tap, tap, tap, tap. Actually you cannot swipe a card in US that has a chip, and probably 99% of cards have chips.

>Compare the quality of that to a wire or to a ACH transfer.

Zelle? Just a qr code or a phone number? And it's free?

>Wise and Revolut

No clue. What's so special that I don't have with Chase?

>EU is also ahead with security

Um isn't that useless? As more scams are via social engineering.

>But I heard worse of the US.

I heard the same about EU, actually MUCH worse :)
