my 5680 has absolutely nothing. Checking online I found that the right one is a usb-c 3.2 and the 2 left ones are TB4. IIRC they all support DisplayPort and all support being used as the power input (165W charger), not sure for PD and fast charging a cell/tablet…

True, my latest Dell laptop has 3 “usb-c shaped ports”, there is 0 symbol anywhere close to them or the underside cover, you’re on your own as to what it supports, you have to find the doc online somewhere I guess.

Well, less and less people post stuff like their vacation pic or food pic etc. Then more and more companies pay to be in your feed, so now your feed is only non-sense stuff like yours, or mine, it does not make sense, I often see posts from stuff not in my country or sometimes not in my language.

I only use FB for Marketplace (really big here), and for some FB hobby groups that replace good old forums. I never publish anything, and only one of my friend still post pictures of their journey, that’s it.

In Canada it is way worst, because every sources deemed news media cannot post/share articles, imagine in the USA if your feed had no news like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, npr, nyt, etc. but in your feed you see all the alternatives news (read: far-right, conspiracy, pro-russian, pro-musk, anti-ev, etc).

This is our reality in Canada, our facebook feed looks like twitter, full of hate and fake news. I always block them, but there are certainly thousands and thousands of bots posting those kind of thing.

FB is dead.

Of course it’s illegal, my friend worked for EDF-GDF (electric gas utilities, government owned) and always came home at 8 or 9PM. If he leaves at 6PM everyone will look at him, sweating, because he left the afternoon.

Don’t know if it changed in 2024

Yup, the green dot top right

A typical 9-to-9 workday is the bare minimum.

I have seen this in France in the 90s, but more to the bare maximum, 8-8 or 9-9, without being paid overtime of course. Part of why I moved to Canada doing 9-5 or 8-4

Wtf? My company just gave me a Dell laptop, i7 13800H, 32GB ram, 1tb nvme, etc

Yeah about the same, I visited /., anadtech, tom’s, betanews, etc about daily maybe 20 years ago, but I haven’t been to those in a decade for sure, except slashdot I still go there

I don’t game so I’m using Xfce only, I love it

MX Linux is a great distro

or better, MX 23 :)

volume encrypted with veracrypt, it asks for a password to be mounted

It’s good, for privacy and all of course, but I remember here a Dell BIOS upgrade that basically wiped the TPM2.0 and so windows was asking for the recovery bitlocker key at boot. I have them on a encrypted USB key and anyway I can access my MS account from another device to find the key and type it.

But I’m sure a lot of people will basically say “well, fuck, I don’t have the key”, guaranteed.

Same, used Sync for 13 years on Reddit, bought it, then bought the Lemmy version a few hours after it appears.

It’s the best client

I did that in June last year, after 13 years of reddit and thousands of comments, all “gone”

Nobody remember JPEG2000 ?!?

The trick is to find a job quite far away, current one is 1h30 away, previous was 6h away, pre-previous was 2h30 away, etc. The local employees of those companies have to come 2 or 3 days a week, but me being too far, I can work 100% remote.

if you go on the web page of beehaw, it says:

76 users / day

208 users / week

393 users / month

Greed?

When Reddit announced their API thing, I moved to beehaw (LW didn’t exist) and it was cool! Then they defederated from instance one by one… So I opened an account on LW.

Beehaw is about dead, 70 users per day…
