For an inkjet printer with paper feed issues pulling it through a few times might actually fix those - the print head should be far enough away from the paper that it will not get damaged, and there shouldn't be other parts close enough. I've prolonged quite a few inkjet printers life in the 90s by just sanding the rollers a bit (in some cases you could even get maintenance kits from the manufacturers - which just would be an overpriced tiny piece of sandpaper).

In a laser printer I'd be worried about some of the internals, though.

Here in Europe the 4 months she was at would be somewhere mid to end of the trial period, during which you can be let go without having to provide a reason on relatively short notice. This is also pretty much the only chance you get to easily let go a specific individual - so if there are indications it'll not work out doing just that is a good idea.

But having that done by arbitrary HR drones is just crazy, and obviously you'll be entitled to unemployment benefits or other social benefits after that.

I'm using opensuse tumbleweed a lot - this summer I've found an installation not touched for 2 years. Was about to reinstall when I decided to give updating it a try. I needed to manually force in a few packages related to zypper, and make choices for conflicts in a bit over 20 packages - but much to my surprise the rest went smoothly.

I have some larger and more specialized bags as well - but those are not EDC. Everything in that kit is USB-C (or at least has adapters for it), so worst case the complete bag is usable just with my phone.

Phone is a Unihertz Titan Slim with hw keyboard. Also have the Titan, great for the big screen, but for daily carry the slim is better.

Additionally I have a swiss army knife, flipper zero and another chameleon ultra in my pockets. I moved from a multitool to a knife with lots of stuff as I still can do most things, and have a higher chance of keeping it when I forget it on my belt at the airport yet again.

Also quite important to make sure we don't have just a single strong x86 vendor - even though currently looking at price/performance you'd almost always go for AMD.

The time before ryzen was horrible - a 4-core-CPU was considered high end, and if you needed something more you needed to go for ridiculously overpriced Xeons. Similar for servers - you could get slightly higher core counts there, but when going for more than 8 cores it'd also get expensive very quickly.

Now we're talking about 16 cores in high end notebook, and 64 cores in still reasonably priced pro workstations.

The Tesla factory in Germany has roughly 3 times as many reportable incidents as comparable factories.

Don't want to go into too much details - from a high level perspective the Windows version integrates better into the overall system. In Rosetta, once you're in the emulation layer it can be rather complicated to execute native components from there. In Windows - with some exceptions - that's not a problem.

Ask Brandon Lee.

"Did Loki port it?", which was a very short list, plus a few exceptions like Quake.

and send everyone to harvest at the first sign of blight

That sounds like a good strategy until blight happens in the middle of a massive invasion.

I still do mostly corn, but with smaller fields with gaps in between. Makes it easier to take fields out of use if I don't need them and they'd just be wasting work time, and I can ignore blight without losing too much if something else is going on.

While that's generally true we might want to look into utilizing available cores more - but I guess with LLM it might be harder to scale that while keeping file size the same.

A lot of the current compression programs only use one thread properly - which was still perfectly fine a few years ago, but thanks to AMD cores have become cheap. Few years ago most notebooks would come with two cores, and either two or four threads, with higher end models with 4c/4t. Something bigger pretty much didn't exist for notebooks, and was expensive for desktops.

Nowadays you can get 16 cores in a reasonably priced notebook, and if it benefits your work you won't think much about spending a bit extra for a 32 or 64 core CPU in your workstation - where just 6 years ago you'd have had no option for such a notebook, and paid the equivalent of a not too shabby car for the workstation.
