I started using my own laptop instead of my assigned one like a week after i started and no one cares. I RDP into my work laptop when I occasionally need windows software.

To be fair I am one of 8 people in our IT department so your mileage may vary with this tactic.

linux is becoming too mainstream we all need to scatter to the BSDs and Illumos

Use OBS to capture your screen and manipulate it however you want and then use its virtual camera feature as your webcam for the meeting. If you want both your face and screen you could easily do a facecam in the corner in obs

Ahhhh that seems like a good way to do it I’ll try that

I’m only trying to make the top down projection right now because that’s the only part that needs to be dimensionally accurate to the original

Unprintable ruler, destroys your printer if you try to print it

When would be the time to use sign language instead of typing? With voice recognition you can use it while doing something else with your hands, but what could you be doing that allows signing but not holding your phone? It seems like a good feature I’m just having trouble imagining when specifically you would use it

I bought an old laptop to install libreboot on and I’ve been messing with Gentoo. I see the appeal now that I’ve tried it. It took me a couple days to compile librewolf but assuming your laptop isnt from 2013 I imagine things would build a lot faster for you

Isn’t this what google captcha did for a while too?

they never did thats a false memory planted in your head by hyundai

I’ve never been to england but I know curry is a big thing there and curry massively outranks every food in the comic

i have room to keep the rock, where would i even put the stick

one bathroom for specifically that, one bathroom for everyone who wants an actual toilet

I have too many old cameras

But almost everyone already has a laptop, so they don’t need to buy anything new. And if you really need more performance, you could spend the console budget on an external GPU for your laptop.

I guess if your only current computer is ARM or you have a low end chromebook it could make sense?

I guess that makes sense if you already have one. I don’t see why anyone would buy a console for the first time now though. My 13 inch laptop is just as portable as a modern handheld console and if I had a TV it would be easier to just connect my laptop than deal with an extra device.

Plus there are thousands of PC exclusive games spanning over 40 years plus basically every console exclusive before the current generation via emulators vs what maybe a hundred exclusive to current consoles?

Plus steam DRM is easy to remove if you want a drm-less copy. I keep backups of old versions of my games playable this way

For games, just about anything that isnt intentionally made to not work in wine works. For other things, it really depends on the program. You can usually look up online if anyone has gotten your specific program to work unless its really obscure

Yeah I’m perfectly happy with my flac files from bandcamp. If I really want a CD I can burn one
