BRB getting my Amiga out of the basement.
You got an amiga? for real?
Too bad they got tons of money and control the press and academia and even parts of the governmentI thought if we were just awesome to one another, the trannies and corporations would leave us alone
He makes interesting points though he doesn't offer a whole lot to substantiate them, just a mess of "trust me guys I'm from marketing". Fuschia is particularly worrying. But then at the end his timeframe? 25 years? Next he'll forecast husbands cheating on their wives and conflict in the middle east. Everything about him and the way he talks suggests snake oil salesman and probable narcissist. His timing is especially peculiar; desktop linux is the best its ever been and now far outclasses its competition. This is a very strange time to play the prophet of doom.
I run into a problem, seems to be most often on Arch derived distros, where when I'm say, trying to back up a terabyte of data over USB, it will occasionally stop and say all the files on the internal drive and backup disk are write protected even though they aren't. Restarting the computer fixes it.
Nah, rsync does help. Not because it really alleviates the issue, but because it is more aware and honest about transfer speeds. IIRC rsync won't say it's done until it's sure that your files are where you want them to be. Mv and cp just assume they are done when the kernel tells them they are. Which, depending on the file system, can happen long before any data actually reached its destination.
Nope.
Ouch. Issues like this keep 98% of the planet away from Linux as a daily driver. Little issues add up over time and become super frustrating issues that make you rage and swear off Linux forever. Also..... Linus doesn't have a truly viable mobile distro yet. That is critical.
Interesting video.
If this was true everyone would have left Windows for Mac a million years ago. Friction may keep people from adopting but inertia is what keeps them from leaving.
But I've had just as many issues with USBs on Windows though. Like it refusing to eject because it thinks it's still "busy in another program" even though I've closed everything so that can't possibly be true. Or when I remove it anyway, and everything seems fine but now it bitches about the device having "errors" and needing to be "fixed" every time I put back it in now, even though it probably doesn't because it still lets me use it just fine and I haven't noticed anything bad.
You can run Hyper-V and Virtualbox together. IIRC you have to enable the Windows Hypervisor Platform feature in Windows and set Virtualbox to use Hyper-V as back end.
