I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver on this old MacBook that I am installing Ultramarine Linux (Fedora) on, but it nosedived on a reboot, so I removed it, but now SDDM is showing distorted image on a reboot. Once the desktop loads, everything is normal, but SDDM does this.
They just came today & don’t even have OSes yet, but I have already named these two “Chopper” and “Mixer” while it’s still May the 4th. They are for digital signage at a local restaurant, where Boil already serves.
They join Appo, Cody, Echo, Fives, Fox, Hardcase, Hevy, Hunter, Jesse, Omega, Rex, Tech, and Wolffe in my “regiment” of computers that I manage, all named after clones from Clone Wars.
And this is apparently my 5,000th post on Mastodon!
I just watched the first three episodes of Tales of the Empire, and I am just…speechless.
I could sit here and throw out superlatives, but they can’t accurately describe what I just experienced. The absolute quality and attention to detail paid to EVERYTHING is just incredible.
Bravo to EVERYONE involved in the project. Y’all are just some amazingly talented people.
So Google Fiber has finally made its way to my neighborhood, and while I was hopeful that competition to AT&T would bring prices down, I suspect that the $70/month price floor of Google Fiber will only encourage AT&T to RAISE prices to match.
AT&T’s cheapest plan is $55/month for 500Mbps service with a $10/month discount if you let them suck money directly from your bank account every month, something that MANY folks who live paycheck to paycheck can’t afford.
@RockyC eh? I may need to double check my price, I think I'm paying $45 (with the auto debit thing because I never remember to pay them otherwise), for 300/300.
@cdp1337 You are correct. The $45 fee is for auto-pay, but AT&T boosted the speed to 500Mbps. It’s nice, but I’d rather a lower price tier for people on the struggle bus.
I understand that networks and equipment are expensive and require maintenance, and that the value proposition is WAY better than it used to be, but the price floor is still too high for many people.
