FrgMstr did you attempt to boot the Phantom? I'd be curious to read about what they were trying to build off of in 2004. Also, is all the [H]ardOCP content gone now? It'd be fun to go back and read. If so, hopefully it's in the wayback machine. edit: I should still have a hunk of the front...

The fix of changing access permissions on these items is fairly benign given your usage. I'd put it in the "worth a try" category. However, I don't know why some process of PAM against mariadb/mysql would be enabled in this way to start with. Interesting error. Since it looks like it occurs...

Pretty much this. That was the position I took when I bought my P4 Prescott and it lived its full lifetime. If it's built for it, it's nothing to worry about.

We don't know who is in your wallet.

I like how they deal with the "How the crap would he still be an active fighter pilot?" question up front in the trailer. "Because... It'll make money..."

They just want to know how many holdouts there are out there so they can decide if they need to give away Win10 for free again. (#switchtolinux)

I think Canonical could only pull this off if they worked heavily with Valve to successfully containerize Steam on Ubuntu. (like no complaints on the user experience, no terminal-fu, fully baked solution) However, in light of the tone of the tweets, it doesn't sound like that happened, and/or...

My 2c. If I think a system will be around long enough for me to really grow into it, (eg. a server with a real job, or my desktop) I'll take the time to at least review the partition scheme and modify it if there's something I don't like. Things I may not like: No or broadly configured volumes...

Pop OS (unenthusiastically)

I'd also vote for XFCE. I have a P4 box at work with xubuntu on it. Comes in handy for those rare times someone manifests some 5 1/4 floppies or a zip disk that needs reading. Yet I don't have to worry about it exploding as soon as it gets on the internet. edit: unless you go to youtube or...

I like the intent of the change, but it does make me leery that jumping so many revisions to the latest won't invite a whole new set of botched upgrades and problems. I wonder if dragging users along at the back end of support would be a better way to go. In that way, ideally, you'd have the...

Ok bud.. Keep fighting for your freedom on that "open platform."

The point of the news article is that your proclamation of "fork it!" won't work out. Instead of coding against standards and letting browsers sort it out, MS is targeting a specific browser. Vivaldi may not be able to run Skype without the same hoop jumping the other browsers are having to...

No caps here, so I'll just appreciate this for how cool it should be!

1000% FWIW since I was not there. However, is it possible that he had stuff to do and didn't want to open a conversation potentially shitting on his employer? One year in, Windows 10 was taking a full public beating. They could have thought it was going to segue into rants of how Windows 10...

I'm still looking forward to watching this trek... someday.

Making sure I have the background right... You installed the latest LibreOffice via Snap, right? https://hardforum.com/threads/how-do-i-update-libreoffice-to-the-latest-version.1977333/ If so, it should be as easy as (famous last words) sudo snap remove libreoffice

If you want to pursue the snap route - https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snap-on-linux-mint/6765 I don't do Mint, so for what this is worth... Looks like you'd do the following from the terminal $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install snapd *reboot* and then sudo snap install libreoffice...

As always, more information helps more. What distro and what page were you looking at that was irrelevant gibberish? If you're on an Ubuntu, you could get the snap https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice or if you hate snaps, you could try the PPA https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Subsidies or incentives should be used intentionally to influence consumer behavior. For example, if we as a nation decide that we should make some attempt to slow global warming and Electric Vehicles are a way forward (<argument for if they are or not is not a focus of this reply>), then you'd...

Would you want to share the sites you were looking at?

My thoughts went to Wing Commander 3 & 4. Silent Steel is spot on. :D

I just re-read that part. The only caveat that I have with the glowing recommendation for Fedora is 'gaming' use. I don't have an nvidia card here, so I'm not sure what the Fedora OOTB experience is like for installing the proprietary nvidia drivers. I can't imagine it's difficult, but I...

I daily drive Fedora on my work workstation. We're primarily a RedHat shop, so it's good for keeping my brain in the right command space. (No muscle memory 'apt' commands spilling out) It's also been solid on the typical office Dell Optiplex. I've brought this install from Fedora 27 and the...

7 is already blocking updates if it doesn't approve of your CPU, they've been telegraphing its EOL schedule for a while, they've been making moaning noises about how painful it is for them to maintain... IMO, they want it gone. I'm betting it gets the Windows XP treatment. If you're big...

If you're at a stage where you need GUIs to configure your services or shares, OR just don't have a desire to learn about running something new (ex. linux, or FreeNAS), OR just want to get back on with life quickly. Then my take would be to use a desktop Windows OS and try to screw with it as...

Chrome and casting has always "just worked" for me as well. However, I wonder if it's a bit of confusion from people using Chromium and some of the secret sauce in Chrome is missing.

That's pretty impressive. I've been really curious about the Ryzen APUs on Linux and am excited to see 1080p performance to be solid. Not bad at all for $300. From the reading I've seen, you made a good choice by going with a rolling distro for the latest processor and graphics support...

"You're connected! Now, we'll check for any updates!" *shudder* always a race to find the mute or volume down button on the keyboard.

So, if you replace the sticky keys executable, you can run an arbitrary executable with admin privileges by pressing shift 5 times without being logged in?

Admitted armature hour corporate & market arm chair observer here, so 'for what it's worth'... Dell was public and while not a dying company from my perspective, it started becoming less trend setting until Michael took it private again. Now we've seen several key storage acquisitions, stakes...

Now doesn't seem like the best time to be putting your company on the market.

Dat 4.20 is where it's at. Ending the year on a high note.

I'm actually kinda surprised to see that statement from you. (and I don't mean that in any type of sarcastic/attacking way) I figured you'd be in the "I'll do whatever if I get to play the game I want to play." camp. No doubt some of these things (game streaming services) will have exclusives...

My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek. I think we're all mostly in the same space about it. It's really the convergence of a few initiatives. Most everyone has seen the success of the subscription model with Netflix, Office 365, and Amazon webservices as examples of infrastructure as a...

This is where all the cloud marketing err.. datacenter engineering will save the business plan because "It'll never be down." And if your home connection goes out there's always "Don't you all have phones?!"

have you bumped into the issue where CC2019 is requiring Adobe cloud accounts? (removing the serialized licensing option)

I feel similar about Linus. His video presentation annoys the crap out of me at times, but somehow he finds interesting things to show/share so I keep watching. :D Aside from that, I feel like this video puts a pin in where mainstream consumer computing is ultimately trying to go. $420/year...

I would check if systemctl started boinc successfully even if it didn't output to the current terminal. >systemctl status boinc-client Should see 'active (running)' or some failed wording output from there. If it failed, what I would do is pull up another terminal and run 'journalctl -f'...
