I hope, so much, but with the way people in the red have been, “love your neighbor as yourself” is almost an exception rather than the rule it should be.

No, no, it’s fine. Americans don’t know how to use apostrophes properly.

It does, as DDR5 comes with rudimentary ECC protection builtin.

My problem is this is an AM4 system using DDR4 memory… already outdated.

and judgement is not “brought back to life just to be sent back immediately”… no, it will be a good span of time to live without evil on the earth…

The whole point of this option existing is to keep the system from auto install/reboot in the middle of work. You’re telling the machine when it’s not okay to do this… so you’re the one in control.

I’ve had the best experience with the Philips LED lights, and secondly, the GE lights. I’ve seen some here say IKEA as well are good. Others just are too cheaply made and fail quickly.

While I’ve had a Philips fail, it was due to environmental reasons. Otherwise, Philips bulbs have lasted me literal years for hours every day.

I also run General Electric bulbs, and they’ve also lasted years.

DHCP, when set up properly, makes for less work. Reservations will have the DHCP server hand out the same IP to the same hardware (MAC address) when it asks. If you have a device that is from the dinosaur age that doesn’t play nice with DHCP, then make sure you give it an address that is outside the DHCP range on the same subnet. ex: Some home routers use 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 as the dhcp range. Setting anything from 192.168.1.1 (or 2 if the router is on 1) to 192.168.1.99 is fine, as is 192.168.1.201-192.168.1.254 (or 253 if the router is on 254). However, by setting static ips, you have to remember those ips specifically to interconnect devices on the lan, whereas reserving via dhcp allows you to use local dns resolution to connect to devices via their hostname instead. In additon, you run the risk of ip conflicts from forgetting which device has what ip in an increasingly complex system, and if you change internet providers or routers, you have a lot of extra work to do to fix the network settings to get those static ips to connect.

Alternately, just use the link-local ipv6 address to interconnect on the lan. That doesn’t change on most devices, as it is based on the MAC address, and is always reachable on the lan.

Mind, I have my system dual booted, and I manage Linux servers on other pcs

lenovo is legendary for pulling proprietary designs out of standards - meaning something as simple as your graphics card drivers are now beholden to how long lenovo supports the laptop and no further… what wifi adapter you put in, because slapping an intel card isn’t a thing you can do without the firmware going “ah NOPE you must have a genuine®️ lenovo™️ wifi adapter to boot this machine!” … and then there’s the soldiered on 4-8 GB RAM, which definitely won’t fail and require a whole mobo replacement…

I would use Linux more if:

1: I could host my desktop with Parsec (client support exists, but not host support).

2: Sunshine/Moonlight actually worked, as an alternative. It is broken and janky and isn’t a substitute. I’ve tried. A lot.

3: I could wirelessly link my Quest 2. VR support is a hot mess and I’m still waiting for a solution to wirelessly link my Quest 2 in linux that actually works and doesn’t require a month of programming a solution myself.

4: Better compatibility with some stuff. Proton gaming works most of the time, but not for the titles I play.

The real solution is to set it so it starts just before you are supposed to wake up, and ends 6 hours before that. That gives you the active hours as intended, and it won’t reboot the system in the middle of work ever again.

Hmmm, this comment should be higher, but, you know, lemmys want to hate on Microsoft, so damn the voice if reason, I guess.

I don’t trust your bottom barrel software, TP-Link…
