Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

Boy I pushed that thing to the limits. Ended up frying the video card. While I loved it, it was just so so weak.

6·11 months agoYeah. A PC “console” brings so much value since “backward compatibility” isn’t even really a thing. Pretty much all games just work, even older console exclusives via emulation. I can’t imagine upgrading my pc and having to repurchase a game with “HD” graphics.

3·1 year agoBut it’s so much more than CPU. GameCube and Wii have the same CPU, but are possibly the most different in the list.
Gameboy color was a huge change at the time. It was smaller (about the same size as the pocket) and playing color games was a novelty: that was Game Gear’s main selling point.
As for GBA/SP, yeah they’re super similar but the form factor is quite different.
I’m sure syncthing works great for you but another option is Self Hosted Live Sync. It works for me as an iOS user who can’t use syncthing on my phone. It requires a server but given this b community it shouldn’t be a surprise.

51·1 year agoI agree with a lot of LR’s opinions, especially around right to repair, but he has always been extremely long winded, and guilty of repeating himself a lot in his videos. Not to mention opinionated.
While it’s cool that some people are excited for this and will no doubt learn a ton from this, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone.
If this works I would recommend yuihjknm, being mapped to 789456123 respectively, with space mapped to 0. That’s how I have it set up on my mechanical keyboard and it’s quite fast. I also recently mapped b to . which makes typing IP addresses quite a bit faster.

Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.
I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.
