The problem is that HP writes drivers and software for those things for Windows, but not for Linux, so Linux depends on random people to write software for those things for free (which often involves complex reverse-engineering). With Linux you need to make sure you use widely-used hardware that someone has already written support for (this is mostly applicable to laptops and peripherals, which often use custom non-standard hardware). There may be a way to fix your problems, but you'll have to search forums or issue trackers for the solutions, and they're probably pretty involved to get working correctly. The router crashing thing is probably just a coincidence though, or the laptop is using a feature that's broken on your router.

There's also Delecta Ltd, which is an Australian sex toy maker and a mining company.

There's a trade-off, depending on the hobby, I guess. For some hobbies, very cheap gear won't even work properly. "Buy once, cry once," is something I hear often.

Higher quality, more expensive gear does not necessarily contribute to waste. Sometimes, it can just be more expensive because their workers are paid good wages and materials are ethically sourced. Some very cheap gear can break much sooner, ending up being more wasteful.

This is good, IMO. People don't have to smoke as much, so less damage is done to their lungs. Vapes, edibles, and concentrates that are not combusted are probably even less damaging.

Both times I've received ChipDrops, the loads were an entire dump truck; ~20 cubic yards. I just used a wheelbarrow, a many-tined pitchfork, and a garden rake to make multiple large mulched beds, and a small pile in my back yard. I now have multiple large mulched beds, use it to cover food scraps in my compost bin, and use some in my vegetable beds/paths. It's about a full day's work to handle it all. I think ChipDrop also allows people to notify other users you're giving some away if you can't use it all, or you could try something like Craigslist.

If you're talking about naive bayes filtering, it most definitely is an ML model. Modern spam filters use more complex ML models (or at least I know Yahoo Mail used to ~15 years ago, because I saw a lecture where John Langford talked a little bit about it). Statistical ML is an "AI" field. Stuff like anomaly detection are also usually ML models.

Michigan hasn’t conducted widespread testing at other farms, partly out of concern for the economic effects on its agriculture industry.

This is fine.

camelCase for non-source-code files. I find camelCase faster to "parse" for some reason (probably just because I've spent thousands of hours reading and writing camelCase code). For programming, I usually just use whatever each language's standard library uses, for consistency. I prefer camelCase though.

I've heard high velocity rounds (such as rifle rounds) send a kind of shockwave through your body. Dunno if it's true or not.

OSMC's Vero V looks interesting. Pi 4 with OSMC or Librelec could work. I'm probably going to do something like this pretty soon. I just set up an *arr stack last week, and just using my smart TV with the jellyfin app installed ATM.

My PC running the Jellyfin server can't transcode some videos though; probably going to put an Arc a310 in it.

Looks like NPR was on Mastadon for a little while in 2020: https://mstdn.social/@NPR
