Born at less than 320ppm CO₂.
Programmer and bus driver. It’s a long story :-)
Based northern UK & Scotland
Europhile, especially since I worked 1½ years in north Holland.
Currently: C#, C, the language that shall not be named
#Assembly (for fun) on Intel PC and IBM #mainframe (emulated, these days. Download and unzip “TK4-” and you can play, as well).
Also other things, including a compiler for a new language. That should be ready in a decade. Or 2.
@OsrsNeedsF2P Again, in English please…
@redd Fedora 39 here on an Intel FW13. It’s my first Linux-only hardware and I only run Windoze (in a Boxes VM) for one application.
No regrets.
Minor niggles only, one of them probably caused by me being hasty. It has never failed to do my usual (edit/compile/debug)
I never got VMware networking right (possibly due to lack of experience with VMware), so I stick with Boxes.
And I installed Win10 on a spare SSD, just to set up the fingerprint sensor. I’ve not booted that SSD since then.
@lemmytellyousomething I got the FW 13 DIY with a small SSD, then upgraded to 4TB from somewhere else.
@sarmale @mineapple The only change I’d like to see is replaceable key caps on the FW13, so I can have a penguin (Tux) instead of a ‘Windows’ key.
For now I use a penguin sticker :-)
Why is the US <Enter> so small? ;-)
Several countries have <Enter> taller, and wider at the top.
My UK keyboard is the same, and I’m probably too old to adapt to a smaller <Enter> and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)
@FireTower @otter I have 2 USB-A adaptors, because I use an external CD drive with additional USB-A cable to deliver power. Same for the external DVD drive.
I also have a 2nd (spare) USB-C in my bag if I need it, or in case one gets damaged.
