Just as a disclaimer, there are 10 trackers that Exodus detected that are embedded in this app. I'm not saying don't use it, just promoting awareness.

You're not wrong about it being easy to set up and use, but the reason it's still the defacto is because of its earlier monopoly. Now, they are slowly killing what made it the best Enterprise option either by its greedy licensing schemes hiding things you used to use behind new and additional licensing or breaking them with untested patches that go straight from dev to production.

Let's go RISC-V!

I agree. We need less soldered RAM designs. I thought repairability was something they appreciated.

I've been mentally calling it the "DGE". It definitely sounds more like the authoritarian department that it is.

Let me make everything confusing. There's a company named Finalspark that uses synthetic human biocomputers to process AI workloads. They state that they use dopamine and electric pulses to reward wanted behavior and reduce unwanted behavior. This isn't far from how our brains operate on a daily basis.

Here's my take on this. I have no doubt that humanity will create synthetic consciousness at some point, if we haven't already. If something exhibits a level of intelligence, then that should be factored into any actions that may impact it. This can go from microbiology, plants, animals to large and complex systems. If you look hard enough at anything living, its just micromachinery. Everything should be respected as if it had some level of consciousness, as we don't know where that line is. Even if we find a hard line in the future, it's easy to cross it so we should have a reasonable buffer.

I believe that the issue is that the plasma loses stability and the self-sustaining state is lost.

Think of it like a top that runs on fuel but needs outside intervention to get moving. As long as the top's rotation is stable and has fuel supplied, it can theoretically run forever, but if it loses stability and starts to wobble then it needs an immense outside intervention to retain stability or just tumble until it settles.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were capitalist motivation that is holding back the actual research. Those that fund it want to have exclusive rights to research akin to the nuclear rat race all over again. It would likely be a benefit to humanity if it were open-sourced but I'm sure that those countries/orgs that own these projects think otherwise.

I think a netbook I had in 2014 was the last time I had any audio problems.

Has c/linuxmemes become c/excusestokeepusingwindows?

Oh I think the flags you're talking about are the kinds of properties the partition has, not necessarily what actions the OS will perform, if that makes sense. The boot flag just means that it is marked as a bootable partition. I'm guessing it was your primary partition from Windows?

I would just mimic the configuration I showed in my screenshot. You can change the path but just make sure there's an empty folder that exists at the location you choose. That should write to fstab and cause it to try to mount on boot.

Also, just a heads up, NTFS on Linux can be fickle because Windows can leave the partition in odd states that can cause strange mounting issues. It might be best to mount it as read-only if you're worried about the data, or better yet make a backup. That said, I have a game drive that's NTFS that works fine, so take that as you will.

Yeah these were the default settings but it's what I would leave it at. I chose /mnt/data just for an example but that's not a bad spot for it either.

After clicking OK it asked if I wanted to let it modify fstab to allow auto mounting. So this should just accomplish what you're looking for I believe.

What DE do you use? KDE Partition Manager has a setting for it.
