Went with Kubuntu as I prefer KDE, and it’s not been good on a multi monitor setup (at least with my hardware).

While I did make it further there than on some of the other distros I tried, it was still a no go.

Think I’m going to pave it and give OpenSuse another shot, just have to get some other bits sorted out.

No, there’s a new “Official” The White House app for Android / iOS.

While I don’t / won’t use the slop machines, I’m not entirely convinced that they haven’t / won’t just add a Copilot Free account to my VS or GitHub accounts: They did just this to my (now canceled) Office account.

I do think that a lot of people are missing that it’s just Copilot data that they’re using to train, not all of the repository data hosted on GitHub (or don’t trust that it will be only Copilot data long term).

For me it just means one more thing to move to our own servers (we always self hosted SVN)

Yea, the 2012 build was a 3770k with 16 gb ram, multiple SSDs, a GTX680, etc. So it was a pretty fast machine back in the day.

I upgraded the video card and SSD drives several times, just didn’t have the budget to replace it all at once for a long time.

Minus the case and video card, I have an entire 3rd gen i7 machine sitting in a box that would actually make a pretty good machine for a lot of different uses.

Same … I hadn’t upgraded since 2012, and had some extra cash, so rebuilt in August. Feeling pretty lucky to have done it then, and really glad I went ahead and put 64GB RAM in it.
