Not shown: a cubic meter of obscure developer boards and gadgets that hardware manufacturers randomly send to Torvalds to integrate into Linux.

Also his RAM is ECC.

Why is this guy posing like he doesnt have the default windows background?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

He'd displaying his lack of personality.

I've gathered some like that. Or I've misunderstood and people are easily led morons. One or the other.

do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on what use are you going to give it

I had a friend ask for recommendations for prebuilts. I found one that was under budget and over spec for their needs and sent them the info. They ended up going with an overbudget one with arguably worse specs (they didn't really need the specs I was suggesting but bang for buck it made sense and was still under budget) because it had all the lights that the seller could shove in it. No real judgement if that's your style and you have the money, but it just upset me to have spent time doing research for them only to have them ignore all of that because they failed to mention that lights were important.

Only the keyboard lights matter!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Unironically, yes. Especially if you have a nice keyboard that allows layers.

Sounds like all shopping experiences with the wife and daughters. They purposefully choose the other one when asking for my opinion.

The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.

Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.

Turns out that my CPU fan requires a proprietary device to turn off the rgb in it, or adjust it at all.

I swapped the motherboard on my old desktop /now server, and now it does this. Fan lights stay on when it's shut down. It's a server so it's never off except when something went wrong but it's annoying to think it's on when it's not.

Next time I need to shut it off I'll check for this setting, thanks for the tip!

My case is black, with black accents, with no window, with soundproofing inside, it's hidden behind my screen

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously the pretty lights are important, it's for playing the games with pretty lights.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

Uhm, nothing worse than when people ask your opinion on things that you literally need to know to perform your job and then just ignore it completely.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

that’s a gamer/streamer, not a tech bruh

TIL I have the same treadmill desk as Linus.

Edit: and he also appears to ignore the safety clip.

Weird seeing Xokas in the wild, outside of Spanish communities

Still has a keyboard that's way too big though. See him having to use the very corner of the mouse mat in order to use it comfortably.

Torvalds could assemble a system by collecting old outdated electronic junk from a trash heap and make it work

Tech Bro needs to convince million dollar investors (or his wealthy parents) to finance his latest setup in order to install the latest Windows or Mac OS ... without money to buy new shiny things and proprietary software, he's totally lost

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He built this, in a cave, with a walking desk!

B but sir. Im not Linus.
