Is there a reason I can't buy a laptop that let's me swap m2 ssd like an sd card when the power is off? This would be great if I wanted to use the same laptop for work and home stuff, but keep the data seperate in case of failure, or if I wanted to backup to a seperate RAID array that had the same functionality.

They don't exist.
you can swap m2 ssd on any non apple laptop
you need a screwdriver though
You might as well just use a persistent linux installation on a usb 3.0 thumb drive.
All you need to know about systemd is that ironically systemd wouldn't be able to exist today if we had been using systemd's design philosophy on GNU/Linux from the beginning.
In other words, we'd be stuck with outdated technology and only able to replace it if we create another monolithic init system that interacted with everything in exactly the same way systemd does.
Systemd is basically exploiting the flexibility of its predecessors to kill the flexibility we have in the area of init systems. People might like it now, but we're walking into a walled garden.
After systemd becomes the standard and everything depends on it systemd will never receive any competition because it would be an extremely monumental task to try and create a systemd alternative.
All the newbies here support systemd because it "just werks". But using things just because it works is a very Windows mentality.
They're forgetting (because init systems isn't really on their radar in the first place) that the reasons we all use GNU/Linux in the first place is for flexibility, being able to do things _our_ way not the way someone getting paid to do their job decided we should do it, and design philosophies.
Systemd is the exact opposite of all of that.
>Flexibility
NetBSD is the ultimate OS for flexibility, a shame nobody actually uses it.
Linux is instead based around pragmatism and right now Systemd solves far problems then it causes for distro maintainers and commercial operators.

Don't worry, anon. In 40 years, when all major distros move on from X, we will begin working on phasing systemd out.
Anyone here uses the wireless charging sticker? Is it worth it? They are petty cheap so i am tempted. They take up the micro usb slot, but i only use it for charging anyway
How good is wireless charging anyways? Can it charge a phone even with the screen always on, Bluetooth, gps and data being used?
>>60272746
I have one. It charges as slow as an unpowered USB port on PC. Also generates a lot of heat
>>60272820
Samsung's fast wireless charging can, but it also heats up the phone like crap. Wireless charging is meant to be used overnight to minimize heat. And if your phone can't last a day then it belongs in the trash.
How do you justify working when cybercriminals make your monthly salary in two hours and never get caught?
>>60272520
i signed a contract, and the navy doesnt take kindly to people who run away from it.
>>60272520
an honest living.
I have nothing to justify if I'm paid to stop cybercriminals but in fact steals people at my work.
So I make more than cybercriminals

https://web.archive.org/web/20070426150740/http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org:80/walmart/2007/spying_operation.php
This right here is Walmart's "Area 71" datacenter. That's right, it's a literal and absolutely fucking massive botnet. If you've ever set foot in a Walmart, you've been botnetted. If you've ever protested against Walmart, you've been botnetted. If you've reported on suc protests, you've been botnetted. If you were for some reason dumb and connected to their wifi, all of your personal emails are now theirs and the botnet's. If for some reason you're working there, you're actively being spied on by the botnet.
People are quick to scream "BOTNET" with the traditional companies (Google, MS, Yahoo, et al), but many don't realize that Walmart is also a massive botnet. Arguably, a far more scarier botnet that's actually real and literal.
>All of the data are precious to Wal-Mart.
Good thing I shop at Costco like a decent civilized person.
Sure they know what I buy and when, but unlike Walmart they're not corporate parasites preying on the country's poor.
>>60272096
While I believe this is entirely possible, I feel stronger that the people running my local Walmart are not competent enough to operate anything related to such a system.
It's like stepping foot into a third world nation, so we try not touch anything or stay too long when we are forced to visit.
>>60272186
The store manager and his assistant(s) probably know how to operate the system, while the grunts behind the service desk and checkout counters are just trained on which buttons to press on their POS terminals.

i want to download google earth but google did this
>Google Chrome is required to run the new Google Earth. Please try this link in Chrome. Learn more.
is chrome rly better than earth now?
what are the benefits than a standalone earth?
>>60272070
that's typical google
old versions prolly still work if you can get ahold of them
when they discontinue something, like the 32bit versions of chrome and earth, they wipe all the installers (and linux repos)
>what are the benefits than a standalone earth?
google gets another chrome user.
for you? nothing really.
