I think part of the problem is that selling second hand on gumtree and fb marketplace is just a nightmare for sellers. You can list it at a great price, and it'll stay there forever, except for the occasional person trying to score a freebie and insisting you deliver it as well. Or someone who is just going to resell it anyway.

I have a laptop that is $50, working, no takers.

So it's easier just to toss out unneeded stuff. Which I'll probably do with the laptop eventually.

This is worth $20

You are the real life LongtimeUser4.

Unfortunately I can't help more than that.

Edit: can you give the output of lsmod? I wonder if a hacked linux keyboard driver could help? I'm happy to give it a try if your interested in testing it.

I think I was prescribed that once

Article is paywalled, but geothermal power solutions already exist. NZ gets 25% of its power from geothermal. Its not a science problem, its an engineering one, and mostly solved as well. And fortunately, the oil companies have all the expertise to do it.

256gb of ram seems well beyond standard self-hosting, what are you planning on running?!

Practice. Write bad code, come back later and rewrite it. Repeat.

Sorry, too late, we've already shipped the grungy atheist gamer man child to your address.

If it is not to your satisfaction, wrap it in the same packaging and we'll give you a return address. There will unfortunately be a restocking fee.

My parents car ran out of honk, but a honk transplant fixed it

Dunno that we need much more experimentation, we all know what the outcome will be - Loads of sexual harassment and misogyny.

Also, the stastically correct way to "sound like a girl" is to mute and never speak up. Last time i read something on this topic, the gender balance in a lot of games is better than we think, but women overwhelmingly stay muted to avoid harassment.

The solution isnt more education/experimentation. Everyone who cares already knows what the problem is. Games need better moderation tools and clear community standards.

Its most likely the non-technical employees being laid off. The accountants, lawyers and sales. Broadcom already has those departments, they dont need duplicates. The developers will probably stay though. i'm sure vmware products will continue to be just as unreliable as they have always been...

Its kinda suprising how bad virtualisation front end software is. I use libvirt at home as well, virt-manager locks up and crashes frequently, and throws obscure errors if i get the config wrong.
VMware workstation at work will crash weekly, taking down the entire host machine. Esxi/vcenter also seems to require constant admin to keep it alive, and even still requires a lot of downtime.

That is a common myth:

In 2014, the United States Supreme Court voiced its position in no uncertain terms. In Burwell v Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., the Supreme Court stated that “Modern corporate law does not require for profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else”.
