NFS like the other person said. Or Samba. I’ve been rocking samba sharing for years with almost no trouble. Mounts reliably and performs speedily without the pitfalls of sshfs potentially tweaking out or just causing unnecessary load on moving data around.

It’s not enough for them to have all the money and all the political support. They need you to love them, if not worship them, as well.

The crown jewel of shittiness in their suite has got to be Teams. Such a dogshit chat program.

A virtual machine on my LAN that runs Fedora Server

Following the USA’s example!

It’s probably MUCH harder than do a GDPR (or equivalent) take out request then deletion request

I cry my American freedom tears. Free to have no privacy laws to protect me or give me any legal recourse.

Not to throw stones, because I live in the USA, but it really sucks to learn that Chile just elected a climate change denier, too.

Yeah, that’s my sentiment as well. I don’t want to pay to have the display repaired, because I already have a laptop. Finding this thing was not an invitation for me to spend money on it :P

So I hooked it up to a spare monitor and fiddled around with it, some. Used Crossover to install Steam and Mortal Kombat and played a few rounds. Worked well!

Probably the only reason I found it is the busted display 😅. I guess to someone that either meant it didn’t work at all, or they just stopped caring and didn’t want to deal with it anymore.

Maybe one day I’ll find a matching macbook pro where the computer doesn’t work but the display does. And then I’ll mix-and-match them and have one fully working laptop and one fully broken one 😀

It was in an e-waste bin. I didn’t purchase it. I just picked it out of a pile of electronics.

It seems what happens is the laptop still expects a built-in display to output to unless the magnets/hinges are closed, in which case it will switch to clamshell mode and only display on the external monitor.

but what sucks about that is in clamshell mode the built in keyboard/mouse become unusable, but those components are fully functional. Maybe there is a way to trick it to only output to an external display, never try to output to the broken laptop screen, and keep the kb+mouse operational…

soldered/glued :(

My one fear is if I try to install Asahi but get stuck on an install step that requires me to be able see what’s on the main laptop display, which would not be possible

That’s especially saddening because writing the review is specifically meant for you to contemplate what went well and perhaps what can go better next time. You would think managers would want you to reflect on that. For the benefit of the company, at minimum.

But with stories like yours it is becoming more clear that the only objective is to “use ai” or deliver ai-generated results. Why even bother caring or trying when management does not?

Most blessed outcome. Lucky!

llvmpipe means you only have software graphics rendering. You got rid of the graphics driver, so that’s not in usage. As for intel graphics, perhaps you need to ensure that you have mesa-dri-drivers installed? Or maybe somehow the intel kernel module has been blacklisted?

The slop being copied back and forth is actually is what they want. At the recent all-hands they basically said this without exaggeration. Quality and correctness were demoted to secondary importance.

The AI in this case is, for all intents and purposes, using Copilot to write all the code. It is basically beginning to be promoted as being the first resort, rather than a supplement.

The linked article is interesting food for thought.

It definitely sounds like you’ve already decided to find AI useless regardless of what it can do

On the contrary. I’ve seen impressive time-savers be accomplished with it, just as I’ve seen it fail at times. But it’s not about finding it useless. It’s about how I hate it, but also changing my mindset to effectively adopt it.

Second, I’ve found it good at guided code reviews. It is no substitute for a real human review, but adding an AI pass before you open a pull request can knock off some of the low hanging fruit.
