The Starliner crew is still on the ISS. They return with crew-9 in February.

Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I’m surprised Intel would remove a feature that AMD provides in their desktop CPUs.

I think China has more paper rockets than any other country.

That’s why I was wondering if they fixed it. It’s been quite a while since I’ve used an Nvidia card.
I’ve never had any screen tearing issues with AMD cards or Intel integrated GPUs.

Has the Nvidia screen tearing issue been fixed? I’ve had 2 computers with Nvidia GPUs (GTX 560 Ti & GTX 765M) and they both had awful screen tearing that I couldn’t get rid of unless I disabled compositing.

There are mid range CPUs with 128MB of L3 cache now. A Linux distro like Tiny Core could fit entirely in cache.

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn’t support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.

I wonder how many issues rewriting everything in another language will create?

It’s too much trouble to try and work around the VPN blocking that most streaming services do. It’s so much easier to just torrent whatever you want to watch.

Where are you going to find an 8K TV with displayport inputs, low input latency, an actual sleep mode instead of staying on and saying “no signal”, no “image enhancement” and no smart crap?

In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.

Just use yt-dlp. It’s not hard to use. You just type yt-dlp, paste the video link, and press enter to download the highest quality version.

The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that’s supported by Piper.

With 8GB, you could run any DE without worrying about RAM usage. 2GB DDR2 DIMMs are dirt cheap on ebay, so I would recommend maxing it out while RAM is still readily available. That CPU will still run most modern software at a reasonable speed.

That’s a kernel worker for ACPI. It sounds like you may have a driver for something that is misbehaving.

I wonder what CPU it has. You should tear it down and see if you can get some custom code running.

That battery is way too small. I prefer to have a 100WH battery. It definitely needs a couple more USB ports and an SD card reader.

Wow, maybe we will finally get to see a launch next year.
