    Say I just got gifted/loan-ered an old laptop with Windows on it, how do I install Linux on it and also make sure its not still tied to the previous owner and transmitting my stuff to them?

  • Installing a different OS isn't even remotely as hard as changing a car's transmission. These days it's closer to changing the oil, or maybe changing the oil filter at most

  • I'm pretty sure that's not a true statement

  • Then they will ask why nobody wants to use their payment cards

    Jump

  • Yeah, something like that. Maybe cash should be the chair of the council

  • What's wrong with ubuntu? It's likely the most common Linux, and I've used it for years without any major problems

  • So then don't carry 500 in cash then. You only need enough cash in your wallet to cover the expenses you might encounter in a single day. And having cash on you doesn't mean you can't have cards too in case you need more money

  • Cool info to know. Actually doing anything with that info is way above what I'm prepared to do, but very cool to know that it can be done and is progressing toward everyday use

    Jump

  • Meaning like the kernel runs on them, or you can actually have a fully standard Linux like ubuntu running on it?

  • Wait, Linux works on m series chips now?! I totally missed that news!

    EDIT

    Oh wait, i think this sounds like just a step toward making that happen. Still good news!

  • Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

  • The fuck are you talking about? If anything i took the word no MORE directly than op was intending

  • Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

    Jump

  • Huh, i suppose that's probably what they meant, but even with that interpretation already in my mind it's really hard for me to see how that's actually conveyed through what they wrote. Thanks for the info

  • Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

    Jump

  • Why would she say no she doesn't hear it all the time, and then say it's in the top 5 things she hears? I'm sure i must be misreading this somehow

  • How effective are life jackets in rapidly flowing deep flood waters?

    Jump

  • Even if that turned out to be the case (very unlikely) you can always take your life jacket off if at some point you find it's causing a problem. Just a squeeze on each clip and it's off

  • AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today

    Jump

  • Then I don't understand what your point is as a reply to my original comment. I said "no video you see can ever be believed again", and you reply with "well you can post your own videos on a self-hosted service". I don't see how that follows as a response to my original comment.

    EDIT

    I think you seem to be under the impression that ai videos are somehow locked onto only being on YouTube. That isn't the case. Anyone can go to any Veo ai generation site, write a prompt, and it'll generate a video of that in an mp4 file which they can upload to any video sharing platform. All mp4 files are the same thing, regardless of whether they were made by a video camera or ai.
