Likely prohibitively expensive, will take a long af time to reach wider markets and most likely never pass trials

All my predictions

I’ll be very interested to hear more, do you have a blog?

Funnily enough, this is what a chromebook was made to do. A computer that was only a browser. Unfortunately, the hardware was severely underpowered, and the custom software wasn’t as flexible as a simple Linux desktop is capable of. (Almost no software support outside of Google)

Yes, but I usually add my public key to the authorized_keys file and turn off password authentication once i do login with a password. On top of that, I have a sshpass one line command that takes care of this for me. It’s much easier than trying to manually type a password for the next time. I save it and just run it every time I think about using password login. Next time I need to ssh, I know the password login is not necessary.

sshpass -p ‘PASSWORD’ ssh USER@IP.ADDRESS “echo ‘`cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`’ > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && echo ‘Match User !root
PasswordAuthentication no
Match all’ > /etc/ssh/sshd_config’ && exit” && ssh USER@IP.ADDRESS

At the next reboot, your system will now only accept key logins, except for root. I hope the root user password is secure. I don’t require it for root because if a hacker does gain shell access, a password(or priv esc exploit) is all they need to gain root shell. It is also a safety net in case you need to login and lost your private key.

Not sure either, and kali did the same. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/361870/what-are-the-practical-differences-between-bash-and-zsh

Of course, someone posted on stackexchange a nicely detailed post.

One of those bigger numbers is better herd instincts

Yes, and if you have an ssd, it will decrease the amount of usage that the limited(albeit ridiculously high) read/write cycles the ssd is capable of. However, it is unlikely you will hit those limits with that kind of usage, lol

Also, memory is faster always, but your usage is negligible. You can disable swap(linux/mac) or page file(windows) to force memory to be used, and your drive is used less. Firefox can be configured to disable disk cache and increase ram cache. Also, it will be noted that this cache is marked as temporary ram cache. any application that needs more ram can delete the temp cache for usage(dynamic ram usage)

But that’s it. The best thing to do is live your life and be happy that you are future proofed for any task that may arise.

Very unlikely unless there is an elevated privilege exploit to use alongside this

KDE’s plasma centered Linux Operating system. So to not be overly pedantic, I stuck with what this lemmy post was about. I didn’t say the plasma desktop environment was an OS.

I said “a linux operating system made by the KDE team” in which the KDE team referenced their OS as Plasma in the Mastodon post, or “toot,” shown in this lemmy post.

I said its a linux operating system, and the whole installation from Desktop environment to the compiled kernel and preinstalled executables was carefully made by the KDE team. They literally said Operating system on their mastodon post, “toot,” this lemmy post shows. So its correct what I said

an linux operating system made by the KDE team

It’s wild to me that 19% difference between the drop of on shore wind and solar to the same price point is massive, like that extra 19% drop in solar is quite literally more than half of the solar previous cost, about $230.

I like blue, it’s calming and makes me thirsty for water

OK, I understand your idea. However, I will have to throw some cold water on you. You did a market analysis, and you saw the margins for low-end gaming PCs were too high. However, what you didn’t do is market analysis on the clients. You half ased it and got burned. From my experience, customers do not do much research or think logically about what they spend their money on. It’s true that people will most likely make bad financial decisions. They will see your lower priced PCs and overthink it. They will believe that the lower priced stuff is also lower quality and a worse deal. There is a range in which they believe a PC should cost, and by undercutting the competition, you estranged your client base. On the other hand, presentation and words matter a lot to people and the algorithms(search engine optimizers). They don’t care about acronyms or technical words. If you look at how Apple and other giant tech brands marker their technology, you will find that specs take a back seat. On the flip side, the experience and capabilities take center stage. Making your clients feel welcomed and meeting their desires without accidentally coming off as “cheap garbage” is a tricky balancing act.

If you don’t want to do this type of marketing and selling, then just make the PCs work for you instead.

Maybe don’t try to market them as gaming PCs and just market them as great workstation PCs. Also, it depends on the market and your inventory imports. If your market is people who can afford current Gen laptops, they will not like your PCs. If you market them as home theater media streaming PCs for those who want something better than a firestick, then it will make a better selling point. Either way, if you have a steady supply of these low-end PCs, then think about multiple markets instead of limiting your client base to just cheap gaming PCs. There is so much more a computer can be. Do some market research on your local or online markets and make the PCs capable of solving their needs.

The amount of money you can gain from renting out your equipment vs. the electrical cost is not worth the effort you will need to employ to make this work. Especially for these entry-level spec computers. The best way to monetize is to liquidate them into cash and churn that cash into something more profitable, which is not easy, but it works for those who are creative and passionate enough. Another method is to make them do tasks that frees up your time, or you can delegate tasks that will help you. Good luck on your monetization efforts

The better approach is to grab the most popular distros that have different DE. See how the made their DE and what is possible. Also, think about what your goals are with a DE because if you are researching it then that means you have a desire in mind or want to know what a DE could do for you.

It’s not a virus, it’s a Potentially Unwanted Programs bundled and it’s common Spyware, Adware, and miscellaneous paid to serve programs. Since windows and macs bundle their own types of potentially unwanted programs, I like to consider this as just larger corporations being hypocritical. Unfortunately, the majority of PUP that get flagged are typically worse than what these larger corporations bundle in their installers or products.

Is it possible to buy a display off some marketplace with the same connector, and hopefully, the display controller plays nice with the motherboard?

It’s a community maintained repo. The possibility of updating it yourself is possible. The master branch is updated to the 1.59.124, which came out a week ago. And was updated around the same time. 1.60.110 was just released 1 day ago. You can update it yourself. After all, it’s supposed to give you a great default state to fall back to, not keep you on the bleeding edge of releases.
