Who the heck designs a laptop with an ARM core? Nothing against ARM, they are my bread and butter on the job. But whatever you do, choose the right tools for the right job.

Maybe they should upgrade to support other OSes?

Grow up?

And it will leave you debugging strange code for two weeks afterward.

My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.

Seems to be that learning sites in general are assholes. I once attended a language course, and while their “solution” was web based, it was focused on IE. I had serious issues attending the course under Firefox.

I logged a lot of errors on their site, but their tech support could only manage accounts, the web site had been built by an external company ages ago, and they had no fingers into that.

Is that a hardware or software issue? I.e. is it caused by the windows driver for these laptops’ graphic units?

Does HEVC work with the Linux drivers on these machines?

So I either have a bullshit job “I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks” or a real job “I herd electrons”…

What they forget to mention is that you then spend the rest of the week to fix the bugs it introduced and to explain why your code deleted the production database…

I don’t think so. If it was AI, it would not even print the order…

So the intern who hacked up the order website forgot a size limit on that field? Maybe one should check out what other things he messed up…

Kiddy, computer gaming existed WAY before any desktop environments. Imagine, even multiplayer online games existed before Windows 95…

Which AI scraper went rogue this time?

Machine, software, peripheral, whatever.

If it does not work on Linux I simply won’t buy it.

For every sign, there is a reason. An issue or problem big enough so somebody bothered and made a sign and hung it up.

Absolutely. A Companion Cube shaped gaming PC would be perfect.

Parrots with a stolen dictionary.

The prototype exists - somewhere - in my office, but I can’t provide pictures, sorry.

You should see some of the contraptions I’ve done (or had done) over the years. Like basically taking a a BGA FPGA off the board, soldering wires to the pads, and soldering the other ends to the balls of a different brand of FPGA to get something working while switching suppliers.
