Quote of the day:

“Naturally, were I to buy one, I would have to install Linux onto it.”

That really explains my first day.

I installed Arch on Surface Pro 6. And have GNOME and KDE installed. Pen and touch works perfectly (when it works), like it recognizes pressure, but sometimes need to restart the surface after putting it in standby because it fails to detect pen(and touch as well).

Camera is kinda wonky, it kinds works with cheese but not with other applications, and I couldn’t manage to make the back camera work.

WiFi and Bluetooth works fine (there are some issues with bluetooth when standby but haven’t looked much into that)

Downsides

Neither KDE nor Gnome is optimized to operate as a touch DE. Pen on KDE is detected as mouse(well its detected as pen but proxy as mouse input if a program doesn’t support pen; like if I try to scroll firefox using pen, it works like I have right clicked mouse and am dragging up, so selecting text instead of scrolling), but touch works as expected.

And UX for on-screen keyboard(OSK) is not on par with Windows. It kinda works with GNOME, like a program window slides up if it were to be overlayed by OSK but its still wonky. And I didn’t had good xp with OSK.

But overall, I like it. Its not really powerful enough to do any development, but I use it for multimedia and eBook reader

Isn’t that the premise of Westworld S3

What desktop environment is that? Or is it built in by default or doesn’t work quite similar to linux?

Kagi is also experimenting with small web

I call it Gödel’s curse

And what if its a pseudorandom generator all the way down

Or a burning hatred of proprietary systems

Fucking amazing😮😮 Write a blog if you document things… Might come handy to beginners

I never understand the concept of therapy. I always think of it as a fancy way to say helping so called “neurodivergant” to mold into " neurotypical" person

That’s really interesting you’re storing power. Was it diy??

Linus has succinctly told nvidia what to do

Most probably, no. I tried to run bluestacks on wine. Some game works, most of em don’t

Currently, they are specifically advertising that they can provide really large amount of power for very short time. I don’t know where I read this but CERN is storing discharging some big capacitors to jump start LHC, and gravitricity can provide same power by parallely lowering heavier weights. source required

What about storing energy as potential energy using some high density objects. This may work… Right?? gravitricity Check out their work.

Obligatory xkcd

These are not engineering issues but political ones. We could have potentially unlimited supply of food even with current technology but here we are

I have seen that on interdimensional cable
