It's not hers. it's one of my computers that i am deploying to her house for her and her family to use.

It's technichally for my neice but the rest of the family all also have access.

no one in that household has expressed a specific preference of operating system. other than my brother in law texting me to tell me one of the old games he tried to install doesnt work (i did promptly offer to "make it work" but he declined).

I have no problem with them installing windows on it if thats what they want. they wont be coming to me for technical support if they do though.

pretty sure it's already available without perscription.

My ex just walked into a pharmacy once and asked for it.

he's still coming round to the fact he's not getting security updates soon due to lack of a TPM module.

He'll be running mint too by the end of the year

i installed linux mint on my sisters household PC last week.

my dad did his usual grumblings about "it should be windows" and i just said "i've been out of the windows ecosystem completely for the last 5 years and partially for another 3 years beyond that. i no longer provide support for windows, if you want them to have windows you need to support it"

he went quiet after that.

cabovers are almost exclusively used throughout europe and asia. it's only america and australia that tends to use the big bonnet american style trucks.

there no real reason for it

yep, a lot of apps are just repackaged chrome running a web page.

which begs the question to companies that require use of the app instead of just having a working website i can use on my copy of chrome/firefox that's already on my phone...

why do you need hardware access to my device?

if you're vaguely interested in and understand basic programming you could get into software QA.

it's fairly easy to get into in my experience, you're generally not bombarded with ludicrous CS questions at interview and you can move into other software roles later if you wish.

confident coders in QA are like gold dust imo.

That said the tech job market is in kind of a slump atm though so do your research

Perhaps i'm misinterpreting candlestick charts but earlier today i noticed that briefly HE1 dropped to 0.08p before jumping back up to essentially what it was before, that is a huge drop if true.

what happened?

i'm not serving this anywhere. it's just in a html file i'm opening locally, and it uses ChartJS. I'm trying to create charts for each day of a given csv of data so i can complain to my ISP about their DOGSHIT service. for some reason only the last chart is rendering and i can't figure out why, there's nothing in the console. I'm not a frontend guy so could be something very obvious.

I have 4 days of data so there should be 4 charts. The actual amount of data is much much larger than the subset i have posted below; over 6000 datapoints per day

I saw other kentish towns (see [email protected]) had communities. so thought i would create one for Maidstone too

 

In b4 "You wont make a profit"... i know, i want to use my computer to heat my apartment. i figure that even if i'm making a "loss" each month on the mining it's still cheaper than running my apartments electric heaters when you account for the sold (or not) bitcoin.

I've been doing well keeping things warm by Folding at home on the CPU but apparently AMD GPUs aren't supported for that and i want to put my GPU to work too.

I briefly mined some litecoin in like 2013/14 when BTC was just about popping off. other than that i have no mining experience (and i would have been using windows back then)

Need to sort something soon, Jan and Feb are probs the coldest months in the UK and i have gotten this far this year without using the heaters

I currently own two canon cameras, an EOS M10 i bought around 2017/2018 new for around £150 and a secondhand EOS 1300d i bought last week from a second hand electronics shop for £110 (body only, i already had lenses from an old EOS 200d)

Spec wise they seem to be extremely similar cameras just with the 1300 being larger with better lenses and more manual features

My dad mentioned that he was thinking of buying a new camera as his one was bought way back in like 2010 and wasn't a particularly up to date model at the time so i am considering selling him my M10.

looking at ebay though they seem to be going for £200-400 which i find a bit strange for a camera that first hit the market back in 2015 and is way more than i paid new (although reduced to clear) from John Lewis.

Am i missing something? How much is the M10 worth? and is it really worth more than it's newer (2016) DSLR counterpart?
