Do any wireless adapters work out of the box with CentOS?

So I should just pull the thing out and throw it in the garbage then.
The fuck is with Broadcom drivers that make them so unique and special snowflake nothing supports it?

Ok so hey I have an abundance of old-school incandescent light bulbs in the closet. Pretty much all lightbulbs in my house were replaced with LEDs over the past few years for the sake of saving on electricity.
But it's winter now and I often just shut the furnace off and use a small space heater in my battlestation, which is where I spend 99% of my time, for additional energy savings.
But if I am using electrical resistance to heat up my room in the winter, is there any point in NOT swapping out the LEDs in my room with the incandescents? Couple positives to this. I would be using up this stock gradually rather than just chucking it in the trash, AND I would have incomparably better light quality in my room rather than eye-watering PWM led light? Basically, to use the inefficiency of the incandescent bulbs to take some load off the space heater, if that makes sense. Your thoughts?

Use GPUs and doing BOINC or Folding@Home. It's a better waste of electricity.

The question here is if incandescent light bulbs actually are a waste of electricity if you are using a space heater to heat up your room.
>>
>>58253046
Of course they are.
What will make you feel warmer, 10x 100w light bulbs or 1 space heater ?
Plus you know, a space heater was designed with keeping you warm in mind, heat just happens to be a byproduct of creating light for a light bulb.

Reminder to do a monthly scan even if you are using common sense with Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner.

Why aren't tech people creative?
Other fields like medicin and law produce artists and writers.
Renaissance men were engineers and writers both.
Does this field only attract people with no other interests in life?

Microsoft forces ARM Windows hardware to have some crazy locked bootloader for "security."
