This is somewhat outside the box but as tech becomes easier, a lot of people tend to become weaker at certain tech skills. An example of this is directory management. A lot of folks don’t organize their file structures nowadays, relying heavily on the search bar to find everything.

It’s just an intel i7, there’s no dedicated GPU, no separate graphics card. The program doesn’t seem to recognize the CPU for an iGPU.

I went to post a comment on this Reddit thread but then my old man saw what I was doing and beat me with jumper cables.

It’s in version 130.0-3, brand new

Finally bit the bullet and got a Thinkpad and I’m leaning towards putting Fedora on it. I’ve never used Linux before but I’ve done some research and I like the idea of something that updates more often than Debian but isn’t as DIY as Arch. Do y’all think Fedora would make a good starting point? I hear it’s stable enough and offers enough non-free applications through the RPM file management system.

Also, are there any drawbacks in using the immutable Silverblue version? I’m considering it just so I don’t do anything dumb by accident.

This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.

I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It’s free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.

At least in the United States, most schools are not a place of privacy as the schools have a certain right to authority over their pupils. Consider Tinker v. Des Moines and what it meant for freedom of speech in schools. That case won students the right to freedom of expression. It’s important, but in certain cases it becomes limited by Morse v. Frederick, a case that ultimately meant that such expression must not disrupt the learning environment. All of this is to say that students have certain freedoms until expressing those freedoms is disruptive to the learning experience, and I don’t think there’s any solid argument that would not consider vaping disruptive to the learning environment. Considering this as an invasion of privacy is a moot point when you consider that students don’t really have the same rights as adults, especially in public school situations.

This is a classic, but zefrank has so many other awesome videos worth checking out. I love his stuff :)

I’m not an Ungoogled Chromium user, but according to the Ungoogled Software FAQ you can install extensions by using the NeverDecaf chromium-web-store thing on Github. Installing it should allow you to add extensions directly from the Chrome web store and it will automatically check ror updates for those extensions.
