I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know?

It’s probably been 15 years since I’ve used Linux and Mint seems to be the recommended distro for people who aren’t all that familiar with Linux like me, but I didn’t know if there was anything I should know with this ThinkPad model that anyone is familiar with. My searching around shows people saying everything from it...

Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.

I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn’t work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There’s a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I’ll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.

Have you tried leveraging a LLM ai with prompts matching your needs? I’ve heard it can be quite effective, especially for someone with some programming background. E.g. “write me a python script that…”

Unless it used something applicable in its training maybe?

Do you find the sound of rain and distant thunder relaxing? If so there are plenty of recordings on YouTube and YT music that are hours long and not loops. Search for keywords with “rain forest”.

+1 Put it in a USB3 device and you’ve got a smoking fast boot setup for as many OSs as you can shake a stick at. Great tool.

I have all that functionality today with FF… Not sure when you last checked, but if you create a Mozilla account and log in to FF you can sync all the same stuff as Chrome does.

Preach! When did you ever hear someone say “please turn the volume right” or “can you play the up track”? It drives (NPI) me crazy in my Toyotas!

Check out Fastmail. Pretty much ticks all the boxes, I’ve been using them for a decade or more. Ultra reliable, good value and constantly innovative and adding features especially in the collab space.

My only gripe with them is their mobile app is online only in that it doesn’t work in a cached offline fashion. That can be addressed through alternative clients though and their web app is pretty slick.

Bonus points for them, you can host your DNS with them too and you can manage it all fully integrated.

I fucking LOL’d, keeping it classy Lemmy

Swaziboy ,

Structurally the idea has some merit. I think the challenge that you will encounter especially in a federated environment is gaining agreement on how to fill that structure and the hierarchy that you’re implying and demonstrating. Using the pug example, you’ll likely find very little argument on a good hierarchy, but using a more contentious example, let’s say gender, how will you gain agreement across instances on what the hierarchy within the data should represent?

Swaziboy ,

Ok I got ya. Doesn’t that then limit the effective use of the hierarchy to the instance you’re on and the hierarchy you’re familiar with? In that the further removed you are from your home instance’s hierarchy the less likely things will match up. So ultimately searches loose effectiveness I think?

Anyhow like someone else said, not trying to disparage the idea - it’s interesting and I’m enjoying the various input and thoughts folks are bringing.

Ahh Trillian and Miranda memories…

Southern Africa would like a word… Even the BANKING system is in the boat…
