Remember that Copilot Recall is controlled by a setting on Windows.
Also remember that employers can forcefully enable settings on a work-issued computer.

Stop letting Brother steal your money with expensive refills!!! :ablobcatattention:
(They may not do it with printers, but they sure do love to scam you with label printer refills)

Embossing label makers still exist, and they're cheap as dirt. :ablobcatbongo:

I thought these refills were cheaper, and they are, just not by as much as I thought...

I found a company on Amazon that sells assortments of resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, ICs, screws, nuts, standoffs, and a whole load of other things in these really neat boxes. :blobwizard:
I wish more companies sold their small part assortments like this... :ablobcatwave:

If you want them, they're called EEEEE Electronics, though they don't seem to exist outside of Amazon which at least a little questionable...

Seriously though, too many companies sell their resistors in boxes full of 100+ barely labeled plastic bags that are impossible to sort through. :blobcatgooglytrash:

ok so i'm using the xfce beta of solus now and it seems to be doing well so far

i've ruled out the possibility of in browser media viewing instead using freetube for youtube videos and streamlink twitch gui for twtcih streams via mpv

i can conclude that while linux can do well with the atom that's in the minis forum z83-f it's not going to magically revive such a weak device

i still paid less than a rpi3 cost altogether though

@codydragonrude
I just remembered Crunchbangplusplus and BunsenLabs which both use straight Openbox as their DE, making it even lighter weight.
Still not gonna do that much, but every little bit matters :)

after much hopping around where i've landed so far is void linux built from base using lxqt

if anyone knows of anything lighter than lxqt but is not a bunch of hotkeys let me know

i'm trying to find the best option for a weak intel atom cpu and 4gb of DDR3L ram

It uses LXQT, so pretty similar, but Debian and it's just an all-in-one package.

@codydragonrude
Ah, didn't realize 😅
Normal Rpi OS is 64 bit now, so it's weird they haven't updated the desktop edition...

Concept:
We need to make homebrew computers the norm again.

@OpenComputeDesign
Some of my personal favorites right now:
Agon Light Origins Edition (of course)
Amethyst (because it's so well put together)
...I guess you're right, we do need more :blobcat3csmirk:

Yes that is RGB on an "official" Atari product.
I will take no further questions.

Fair, but at least give them credit for creating that Atari VCS Linux box...

My experimentation with + programming has been a mixed bag:
Pros:

  • It often gets it right the first try
  • It's faster to change the prompt than edit the code
  • it can explain code fairly well

Cons

  • I can ask the exact same prompt and get different code that WONT work!
  • After several iterations, the code just stops compiling
  • I frequently save revisions of files so I can upload a working file and iterate from there.
  • It's SO SLOW to wait for it to type out

Once you've learned the basics, it's actually pretty easy to make working web UIs using the standard HTML/CSS/JS stack.
The most time consuming part is getting it to look good, but that's why basically everyone uses tools like https://penpot.app/ to prototype designs first.
The other thing is doing it enough to have an intuitive sense of how things should function, but it just takes practice.
Doing it yourself will produce better results faster once you get the hang of it :)
