  • the financial crash looks likely and my inner pessimist expects it to be heralded by a nuke.

    epstein has been supplanted by iran as the top story within the united states; a milestone of sorts that maps the trajectory of its infamy.

    the bri reversal was a reference to the damage done to the industrial railway project in iran during the 12 day war w iran; now moot for obvious reasons.

    it takes roughly 8 years to clear enough of the red brick road for each feature size. there a 3 feature size delta between china and the west, so that’s roughly 24 years. (my money’s on china to prove that the red brick wall is just a holdover from the western control. lol)

    my current laptop is probably an extreme example since i get around 4 hours of battery life on default fedora 43 workstation, but almost 8 hours (DOUBLE) on windows 11.

    i’m aware that i can get longer battery life if i experiment with the power settings or try different power utilities (ie powertop), but i’ve learned from experience that the battery life will never be the same as it is using windows.

    i’ve also learned from experience that only open source firmware projects like (ie coreboot) can give you the battery performance that can rival windows and mac and i got to enjoy that by buying linux-first laptops vendors with open source firmware on it like system76, tuxedo, etc.

    the most irritating thing about the laptop i have now is that it will charge from 5% to 80% in 50 minutes when it’s running windows; but it takes almost 2 hours to do the same thing running fedora so i will probably buy from system76 again next time i need a new laptop. lol


  • i recommended this because i tried it once and it did work, however i learned the hard way that the image in the usb stick is different than the installed image and i had to use the usb stick’s image to find the exact module and configuration so that i could duplicate it on the installed image…fyi

    and it too was a realtek nic. lol
