I've just bought it. It's normally batteries and chargers that go first on most laptops I've had. I think the first thing I'll do is invest in a spare.
Thanks for the recommendation. 👍

I mean I see why this is happening, the authors of the programs don't care about Unix, only a small piece of it.
Both MS and Apple and, since recent times, Red Hat and Canonical only want first-tier access to FOSS devtools.
The reason why OSX...

If you plan it right (end of financial year), you can get some really cheap ex-business surplus Lenovo/HP/Dell laptops.
Following on from cracauer@ 's recommendation, I agree, my regular goto has one going very cheap (£168).
(If you can get...

Earlier in this thread (post #10) I said I have never had a hardware failure. I shouldn't have said anything. There is now a slight rumbling coming from a fan in my box. It's either the fan facing the floor on the bottom or the fan in the power...
Interesting but it should be noted that the costs are completely arbitrary and are not dictated by any kind of technical limitation. Next week they could be completely different. Higher or lower.
In a gold rush, the costs are dictated by the guy...
I designed a medical computer in 1992. Before that, to upgrade any hardware, they had to throw away all the electronics inside the machine for any upgrade. My design had small, pluggable cards that allowed upgrading of everything by just swapping...
Symptom of bad quality software. Whoever wrote the software (that requires special terminals) didn't think about requirements, usability, integration. They wanted to quickly solve their own problem (installing software on a Mac, using an AI to...
It would have more sense to virtualize Windows, than stacking another layer adding Linux too.
Indeed. Just use Wine on FreeBSD like you did on Linux, it's a cleaner and better solution (especially performance wise).
Why not wine? It's on ports. And it's better integrated with the graphics stack of FreeBSD for windows programs.
By default the linux compatibility layer (rocky linux 9) will only support OpenGL (with patches/hack vulkan works, cuda maybe)...
Back in the Usenet days there were posted rules and article about postings and having good, descriptive titles. Now I see this in all social media but notice it here more often lately. A thread is started with a title such as "Computers" or "Is...

Machine Learning (ML) is a type of AI for how a computer organizes data, often for a next step in AI to process this data. It is described as how a computer predicts how data is to be organized. Data is retrieved through sensors, like cameras...

Maturin, please re-read my post, I thought I explained what I wanted to achieve, ie the use of labels in fstab in a MBR based system and how to set them.
It looks like I can't do this using gpart BICBW.
After adopting GPT as my partitioning scheme years ago have forgotten about BSD slices but am trying to change an fstab entry from /dev/ada1s3a
to something which uses a label.
gpart modify -i 3 -l freebsd-main ada0
does not work. What should...
I really wanted to make this article short … but I failed miserably. At least I tried to organize it well so one may get back to it after ‘some’ reading because its not a short lecture. I wanted to title it Why FreeBSD? but when you type that...
Anthropic's Mythos Preview writeup from 7 April was pretty upfront in several places about the cost of finding their exploits, at least in terms of API pricing (the true cost may be higher, of course - but also bear in mind the long-term trend of...

I observe an increasing tendency of TUI/terminal software that needs special "advanced" terminal emulators.
Homebrew on macOS is an example. If I am on FreeBSD in an xterm and ssh into one of my Macs, I can't directly run homebrew commands to...
I know this is old, but does this still hold true for Emulex which is now Broadcom? Looking at `ocs_fc(4)` which seems to be a generic driver for all Emulex cards?

Is there any way to download these built files from anwhere?
It will probably take me a day to build them and errors are likely to arise which will mean a second or third attempt at building them.
Big centralized data will take over the world. A few multinationals hijacking all public knowledge. Pretty much phase 2 after ending piracy which is actually freedom of information.

That's great to hear! It should be showing up in Quarterly very shortly... I saw the package successfully build last night but I don't know how long it takes to complete the entire package set.

There's FreeBSD port audio/spotify-qt. It gives me error: ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/qt6/libQt6Svg.so.6: Undefined symbol ObjectPrivateC2Ei@Qt_6_PRIVATE_API"
Private API?
This link works: https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/
Anyhow I thing the whole thing is closed source since Spotify does not provide any source code.
I can generate a CLI-only USB image of this if you want. Creating it needs the entire build system that also includes a working live X.org. Creating a concept minimal mfsroot-based system of this for publication would take me a few days.
Why does it need linuxulator? Does it rely on closed source components?
The link to a linux client program on their own page doesn't work. Kind of a bad sign, I must say. Who lets that happen?
