23 days agoI am still hopeful that we are just a couple of malicious lines of code away from rendering this whole AI abomination inoperable, or at least so heavily crippled with various security measures that it is practically unusable. One can dream, I guess ……
Got couple of hand me downs from work at the end of the lease cycle - 7th gen i7 HP mini desktop and 8th gen i7 EliteBook x360, for nominal price (so they could show them as “sold” in the books). I did run Win 11 on the laptop for a while (since it is officially supported), then converted both to Linux (Debian Stable, laptop with KDE, desktop with XFCE since it is a “home server”). With Linux, they run faster and cooler than they ever did on Win10/11. I don’t think I will be looking into any upgrades or hardware refresh for at least 5 years, if not longer.
