I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

  • Kind of a wide variety of things that varies from person to person in often absurd ways – broken in ways I’ve never seen Macs or Linux systems be, nor even Windows 10 and older.

    • Explorer taking ~20-30 seconds to open a new window (fine once it’s open, until you want another window) (I’ve only suffered this on my work laptop for some reason)
    • The “home” view being blank save for a weird expansion panel that’s empty – sometimes this can be solved by resetting ALL folder views in Explorer settings, other times it just stays broken after and randomly works later (I’ve repeatedly suffered this)
    • Start menu being empty or not showing new additions to it, and pinning anything to start that wasn’t from right-clicking anything found in it just not pinning for ??? amounts of time (both)
    • Randomly muting all audio input devices (home)

    And that’s just my personal experiences. The ones I’ve seen others deal with is much weirder.

    Honestly I’m buying more into the idea of how ostree distros work; Windows is like a very broken version of that anymore.



  • It’d have to literally be a full CPU that somehow has only read access to the RAM such that it’d be a genuine feat of engineering. Either that or the whole thing is just a virtualized device, but the cooling demands for either method would exceed the threshold for passive cooling in those enclosures and require fans at that point.

    Bloomberg wrote an article several years ago that was absolutely slaughtered for making up from bad sources such a chip concept except even more unbelievable because they claimed it was hidden inside the PCB itself and only like 6 or 8 pins? Absolutely absurd for anyone who understands electrical engineering or microcontrollers at all.











  • That’s kinda cool! Most don’t do that.

    As far as differences Alec at Technology Connections has a solid video pointing it out better. It’s more about the ratios involved between fan, element size, and volume of area to cook within. The result is basically the ratio skewed absurdly in the favor of air friers over ovens, plus putting out less total heat. So stronger fan is part of the equation at least!
