No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?English
1·10 months agofragile.
You could put them on a fixed awning, but you generally don’t want solar cells flopping around, being vibrated or moving at all if you can help it
I already assumed aur was riddled with stuff like that.
Use a condom when fucking around in there.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USAEnglish
3·10 months agoHaha, Don’t offer people windows 11 , even in jest. It’s clearly the opposite of “being excellent” to them ( rule 3).
Gotta love mods.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USAEnglish
81·10 months agoWho is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?
I’ve never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.
For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They’d point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don’t know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLCEnglish
1·10 months agoSurely that can be OPs choice.
If a user has a large number of programmes they might not want to hand hold updates of all of them each time.
If they choose only the handful they want from arch repo or aur then they might have a quicker update and find it easier to stay awake.
I’d think it should be up to them if they want to trade off bloat vs the burden of an update.
I find, especially for AUR stuff the update can become vexatious.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLCEnglish
3·10 months agoWould a flatpak would survive this update? I do use arch on some computers but with several flatpaks for some applications that I feel will be safer - but i don’t really know.
Maybe i just update and see what happens.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•will i be judged or will people think i'm cool if i learn to talk "oldtimey"?English
3·10 months agoCommunication is a two way street.
Good communicators need to learn to pick up on how their speech lands, and learn how to adapt a little accordingly.
I doubt the internet is a good place to learn that skill. It takes a lot of real world practice, and a lot of people still get it wrong from time to time, way into adulthood.
But you should do whatever you like for yourself. But just try to be sensitive to the audience and prepared to adjust if you start to see reactions that you don’t like.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is fine. The people running it are notEnglish
91·10 months agoThere’s been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market “rationality”. And we get the benefits ever since.
People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they’re not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don’t seem to see the “investment” markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That’s either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Duke University appears to have lost research grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic material, translational studies and signal transductionEnglish

Some useful stuff for some laptops - worth checking if you’re buying one for linux:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop

Also this - i guess this is the inverse question though:
That PSU sounds good enough to me.
Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff. I’ve never used it but you could give that a go - see if you’re ever getting close to the 750W.
I’ve experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.
I’d suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable. More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.
How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU? Might also be a motherboard power management issue.
Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.
