Couldn’t find it in English since lets be honest western media lies about what happens in South America, but here’s El Pais in Spanish about it.

I’d be interested to know what kind of media El Pais is by your judgement.

Great battery life and linux unfortunately are a hard task and linux support is often spotty for consumer devices.

Sticking to used business hardware is usually a good start, but you should check for compability issues nonetheless.

Used t490 / t480. Can you elaborate on the “heavy limited by space”?

Why?

Of course those exist, but that does not make them standard compliant. Same goes for power supplies that don’t do handshakes. That’s not an issue if you exactly know what you need them for, but they’re not meant for the general public because you can use them wrong.

Theoretically you could build a male to male contraption from multiple adapters and a cable. Also you could be providing too much current to a device, however this is specific to the combination of adapter, cable and power supply you use.

I can’t quite figure out what would be the use cases where bcache would excel, except for hdds without cache or systems with very limited ram. Can you help me out with that?

Hmm the prices on eBay really don’t seem that good to me in comparison to newer generations. I guess the power consumption will eat up any savings pretty quickly. Though this might differ for whole sets.

What do you need a dedicated GPU in school for?

That’s a bad comparison. Without a lock you can just open the door from the outside.

A cubicle is probably the worst of both worlds.

I strongly disagree that technology has bridged that gap. There always is delay, no spatial information and no equivalent way to switch focus.

I mean it says opinion right there.

The vast majority of workers doesn’t have to be creative. A dev is a Software Engineer, most of the time that means applying already thought through procedures to hopefully well documented requirements. So what is your point?

Exactly.

Unpopular opinion: Teams collaborate better in presence. Remote attendance is inferior to being in the same room even with the most expensive Cisco board or meeting owl.

However if you’re working on your own, processing to-dos, a team around you will be a hindrance. However, creative processes just don’t work that way and require interaction and variability to occur.

You can impregnate cardboard to make it somewhat waterproof, so I’d guess rain is not an issue.

The image fails to load for me, any mirror?

You’re having way too many thoughts about this. I’ll give you a simple choice: It’s either Xubuntu or Linux Mint.

Simply choose by which one looks better to you. Done.

In a year you can look back at your post and decide again if there is anything you want to change or you’re in dire need of a Linux hobby and Gentoo is all you’ve ever been looking for.

That’s a horrible recommendation!
