I'm convinced the reason people hate terminals is because there must have been a disinformation campaign against them by the Microsoft sales department in the 90s.

After that, even people who were comfortable with using BASIC on their 8-bit home micro-computers somehow became convinced they were too stupid to do anything without a mouse. Its Orwellian, honestly.

Either microcontrollers, operating systems, or something else involving RISC-V. That's still a ways off though.

Don't know what to tell you. All I know is that WiFi worked before the update, and then didn't after. Updating the firmware didn't fix it. Reinstalling the OS didn't fix it. Taking it to the PC repair shop didn't fix it. Replacing the network card didn't fix it. But dual-booting Linux mint did fix it, on the mint partition, at least.

I'm currently taking the very last CS class my major requires. I can't wait to leave OOP behind and focus on hardware completely.

Why do people use wsl? The only reason I can think of is to take advantage of Bash and the shell environment. But if wsl runs in its own container separate from Windows, what's the point?

Has a Linux update ever broken something on my computer? Yes. Have I ever needed to revert versions? Yes.

Has a Linux update ever broken my computer so badly, that a hardware component on the motherboard had permanently stopped working, even after reinstalling firmware? No, but a windows update did once. I had to dual-boot Mint just so I could use WiFi.

"Dear floss4life,

Our developers have encountered an issue while using the open source framework you published on github. We have lost as many as 400 user accounts. The estimated cost of this error is $6800.

This is unacceptable. Be a professional and fix it immediately.

Memory safety is a skill, not a feature.

SO in a nutshell:

"I need to do X"

"Have you tried Y?"

"No, because I don't need Y, I need X."

"Well you can do Z if you can't do Y."

"OK, sure. But how do I do X?"

"Why do you need to do X?"

(Explains why in my hyper-specific situation, I need to do X, and Y and Z won't work)

This question has been marked as a duplicate of "How to do Y"

windows 11 isn' all bad. It made my mother ask me to install linux on her computer.

oh, well then that explains why Python is a joke.

Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.
