Intel. Ask me almost anything you want to know about semiconductor processing.

Please do not bug me about Meltdown/Spectre, I am just a mere fab worker, and not a processor designer. I'm just as PO'd about it as you.

Sometimes, it's the simple things in life that are the best.

The issue with the upcoming #USCensus regarding the citizenship question is overblown.

There are only *two* things that *must* be answered on the census form: The physical address in question (which is usually pre-filled), and the number of alive & born humans in the address on April 1st.

All other questions are optional.

#Arizona just outlawed cell phone use while driving, except when using a hands free device.

About time.

While I'm a big fan of #KDE Plasma, the PIM suite (Kontact et al) is still an inferior solution to what #GNOME offers.

Of course, #Mozilla #Thunderbird is still the best.

Bought this shirt after I first discovered #Linux. Yesterday I ripped a hole in the shirt, so time to toss it :(

RIP #Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal shirt, you had a good run, as did your OS.

#ScreenshotSunday

I decided it was time to distro hop...to #Kubuntu. #KDE Plasma 5.15 was to enticing, as is the Kubuntu PPA.

Besides, I want better Vulkan and DXVK support with my Nvidia drivers, something Debian is going to lack for awhile.

Boy do I have a story to tell about this, though. Maybe later.

I have a surprise for ScreenShotSunday tomorrow, really going against the grain this time

TIL:

If you use #SystemD, it takes over the functions of /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab during boot.

Also if you have multiple encrypted drives, with the same LUKS password that you mount at boot, SystemD will automatically pass that password on to all remaining drives after entering the first drive's password.

Neat

Fucking #Nvidia drivers. They are my biggest headache when it comes to using Linux, bar none.

So it has been awhile since I looked at this support thread for Solus, I gotta say, people were helpful!
