Right? Media and science do not play well together. I can’t count the times I’ve seen amazing new discoveries or cures heralded by the media that never come to fruition because they were only ever just theoretical to begin with or they were never replicated by any other researcher.
I just admitted to remembering working with Windows 3.11 for networking…
Also, being technically correct is the best kind of correct I’ll have you know ;)
It’s what Windows search could have been. I don’t know what kind of black magic they’ve got under the hood there but I think it’s really just indexing and watching the file system for changes so that it can update the index in real time. This obviously doesn’t work for a network resources that change frequently but still, it’s very nice when you don’t know where the hell anything is.
The everything search engine is flexible and fully indexed file search engine that you can use to find any file anywhere on your network or local storage, instantly, and only a little bit slower than instantly on a very slow old machine.
Not always.
In other news, I feel old.
I happily concede!
Time to root your Tersler!
Bean night was especially brutal. Good Lord.
I knew a vegan that tried to convince me that when vegans shit, it doesn’t stink. Guess what their shit smelled like… I’ll wait.
Your guess is as good as mine. Let’s just hope that they didn’t also see any copies of The Limits to Growth as well. It was a scientific report published in 1972 by a think-tank. Using computer models developed at MIT, the authors warned that continuing on business-as-usual population and consumption growth trajectories would likely lead to societal collapse within the next 100 years.
I don’t know about you but I’m excited!
Yes.

Cool thing is, GPT fixes all the problems with elitist gatekeeping assholes, whether on stack exchange or something random Linux forum. It truly democratizes information.
Sid berret is the musical version of Salvador Dali.
I get that too.
Here’s a recent example. I’ve got Kelly installed on a VM and I want to use a Wi-Fi adapter with it. It’s a special Wi-Fi adapter that has great reception and some pretty good features. Works well with Linux… Once you go through 20 odd steps to get it installed. It does work.
PITA. I knew what I was getting into, the online docs we not terrible.
On the host machine… Dah-ding… Wifi. Fucking done.
What’s needed is a driver deployment infrastructure similar to what Windows has, to remove the pain.
I have three Linux boxes. Four if you count the VM. I do truly enjoy the OS when it works. The main reason I stick with windows is because if something breaks with it I can consistently fix it very quickly. It feels like everything with Linux is just an extra 10 or 15 steps that I’d rather not be taking.
On a side note, I have definitely noticed that Windows 11 has some performance issues. It’s no joke.
Wow. You’re really committed!
People just won’t be willing to use an OS that requires hours just to get connected to a network, or that won’t display at full resolution because of some driver issue. Seems like a basic QOL issue to me.
Linux is not really designed for Windows users. Windows is.
Also, Windows blows.
I use Linux for old laptops, windows for new ones, for that reason.
Bummer. Thanks for the reply! ☺️
