Yeah, I liked having a bookmark of the nearest radar - I could immediately bring it up with one click and see what's happening. The new system with the pannable map, you just have a view of the whole country, and must zoom into where you actually are to see what's happening.

The weather predictions layout is.. fine, but the old one definitely felt more like you had all the info you needed right there where this one you have to click 7-Day Forecast and then expand Tomorrow to see more detail.

I would only hazard against Debian for gaming because of it's slower update cycle (yes yes you could use unstable or sid..), so performance improvements or fixes will take longer to get to you.

Otherwise I completely second your comment; OOP, just pick anything mainstream like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Bazzite, Pop!_OS, you'll be fine on any of those. Once you're comfortable with whatever you chose, then you'll be more informed on picking a distro more suitable for your liking.

What the heck is it? Looks like a guinea pig but that'd be good work on the piggie's part to get up there

Using an LLM for finance is insane, not only for the usual reasons AI is disliked here on Lemmy, but because the proper way to do this (putting aside whether you should) would be to tune a machine learning model, probably a supervised regression model, to do these predictions.

I've worked in business IT before, so I have a (very small) bit of background I can probably share from your bosses side.

If you're not recommending a distro that has a support contract (e.g. Red Hat), what you're creating is a bus situation - if you get hit by a bus, who is going to maintain the Linux terminals when they go down? Would that contract cover supporting LibreOffice? How will normal staff be able to figure out how to use Linux, and will there be a measurable increase in productivity from them, or will they be slow to adjust?

Regarding OneDrive (or more realistically, SharePoint and Microsoft 365), Microsoft has a service level agreement for this. I can't read it on my phone because it's in docx format, but I dare say that it does have some coverage for if data is leaked, otherwise most enterprises wouldn't even touch it.

Your boss likely doesn't have concern in that aspect because of the SLA assurance, and thus it makes more financial sense to move completely over to M365 and away from on premise servers that require constant maintenance, upkeep and power costs.

I'm not sure of the business size you're in, but I'd hazard a guess that its a small business if your boss is in a position to potentially change out the existing IT infrastructure. You're facing an uphill battle in convincing your boss to move to Linux because the desktop support for it is limited and likely expensive, and the alternative is to keep you and probably hire other Linux technicians to maintain those Linux systems when they go down.

I don't like it, when you change the bag colour about

I don't like it, when you vote One Nation out

Something something first they came for the Home users..

I also use IoT LTSC when I need to use Windows, but we shouldn't stand for this shit to begin with, even if it doesn't affect our SKU. In my mind, it's only a matter of time before IoT LTSC won't be a suitable option anymore, and then it's too late to care. It's a stopgap solution to a bigger problem, an abusive and controlling relationship Microsoft has with their users.

“People should have choice,” she says. “If you want to eat bad foods, if you want to have fluoride, if you want to have, let’s say, vaccines, then you choose that. But there should be no coercion, bullying, bribery. It needs to be a choice.”

Ah, letting the anti-vax sentiment slip a little there..

Regardless of that, I don't understand how putting fluoride into drinking water is coercive, bullying or bribing behaviour. We are already treating drinking water with other chemicals like chlorine, should we stop that too so that Queenslanders have a choice and aren't bullied or coerced into drinking healthy water?

...and they want to compete with the Steam Deck?

 

I recently bought this A1267 display from the recycled goods store, and I have absolutely no idea what this thing is on the stand.

My best guess is a mount, but it doesn't look like it would fit on my VESA mount. I tried to search up A1267 mount images but found nothing that matches this.
