37.5 hour work week

Not sure in Linux, could be a driver or kernel configuration. I don’t know a way to double check it. When booting into windows it’s at x16. So not a hardware or bios issue.

Hardware info (hwinfo) or similar. Be able to check all voltages, speed and temps while testing new hardware. For example my ARC A770 has little to no info, and shows running at pcie x1.

Edit: mistakingly thought link width was x4, but looking at it again shows x1

I regularly go to “La Mañica” in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.

ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.

Well, it was addressing the pay issue, and it is the most secure path to higher paid position fast. Moving on to new stuff comes naturally and the industry will push you to their next hotness, so not really a problem.

If your goal is to make yourself more valuable to employers/clients the best path is to specialize in some critical and niche enterprise tech. People that are good at stuff businesses were lured into using get paid very well. In my case it was SharePoint, but that’s just an example.

Knowing your way around the OS is taken for granted in these positions, so you have one piece of the puzzle, which is great, but you need the other pieces.

But be careful, if I have to choose between two experts, one with basic win+linux and the other only linux, I’m choosing the former.

I recall having the image not found error last time. A mix of creating the USB with another program and tinkering with bios solved the issue. Sorry can’t be more specific, but Linux is all about tinkering, so have fun :)

Doritos. My dad brought home some bags from USA and instantly got hooked on that shit. Fast forward a decade and now with money and selling locally, I ate them until I got sick.

Yup, 700/700Mb. Also wimax but that only gets up to 25Mb

155.000€ for new 5 bedroom 200+ m2 duplex in my small town in Spain.

No HOAs! supermarkets and schools are in walking distance ;)

Cheapest is around 30K, but why bother?

I used an Ubuntu Phone as my daily for about 6 months.

Some easy examples you can relate to:

• do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
• does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
• does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
• does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
• are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
• are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!

Well, my older one was on raspberry os for a while, because she just needed a web for school stuff, but I couldn’t get movie streaming working, and she was starting with video projects the SD wasn’t enough so I ended up getting her a laptop without pre-installed os and set it up with Fedora, and to date no serious problems.

The younger one has my old Ryzen 1700 PC, and tried Fedora first and couldn’t get his games (Roblox or Fortnite) to work, but did get Steam to work… So without much investigation I just tried another distro based off Debian, and gave a try to popos. Same thing. Reading about it, it’s deliberate these developers don’t want their games working on Linux.

So I’ve temporarily swapped his ssd with a windows 10 setup until I can get him to give up these games. I guess age will do it :(

I finally got myself a pihole up and running. Yeah and the regular stuff… ditched reddit, got protonmail and trying to move my kids to using popos.

On the other hand, if you are buying cheap it’s usually because you aren’t familiar with the product and it’s characteristics. So you can take it as the price for learning about said product and what you really want from it.

For example, I got a cheap electric scooter for my wife on her birthday. We are new to these things, and didn’t even know if we would use it at all. Fast forward a year and we have used the crap out of it, even the kids can’t stop taking it out for a spin, and we now know what to look for and what sort of power and features we want when it comes time to replace it.

When I was about 12, my father brought from the airbase thrift shop two books of the “Tell me why” series. It blew my mind knowing how stuff, iI never paid attention to, worked.

From then on I knew that there was an explanation for almost everything, it just required looking for the right book :⁠-⁠)

I took WFH for higher pay in 2013. It makes sense because I’m more productive without the noise, uncomfortable lighting, interruptions and subpar hardware.

Not conidering going back to office unless things change A LOT

Not really to impress, but everybody likes a good paella.

Easier on a gas than with embers as I tried the latter for first time and was quite challenging.

Just ask first if everybody is ok throwing in rabbit or chicken, not everyone is fond of rabbit.
