They have the Google Pixel 8 which has a 120Hz refresh rate, if you can afford it.

GrapheneOS for the Google Pixel. I’m using a Google Pixel 4 which was like $120 and super easy to flash. I’m from the US, so I understand if things might be different where you are.

LIBREBOOT! LIBREBOOT! LIBREBOOT!

How would you even crack an encrypted database? I guess the hacker somehow stole it from the server and has it in their dump of other databases they’re trying to crack? I don’t do hacking, I’m just curious with how it works.

Well, they’re not wrong. It is ‘open-source’, not Free Software.

I’m just looking to have my users not use JS to shop at my store. I’m not too familiar with web dev terminology.

Oh shoot, yeah I don’t have the money for that lol I’m just a small computer store. Is it okay just to use it for my blog then? Thank you and everyone else for the advice!

Does that mean I can register the name for my business name?

It is, this is my first website so I dont really know about trademark infringement too much.

I appreciate the advice. My boss told me today not to ask again about upgrading the desktop and was visibly angry. I’m planning to email him saying I have a preconfigured Windows 10 replacement ready, but I haven’t touched the current setup as per his instructions. If the current computer breaks, we can swap it quickly. Is this a good approach?

Should I start searching now or wait until I get my Network+? I have my A+ right now, but I’m probably not going to get my Network+ until 3 months later. I have 3 months on the job here so far, I’m 20 years old and get paid $55k/year.

Thanks for your advice. Just to clarify, this is about replacing a desktop, not a laptop. My boss got really angry and explicitly told me not to ask again, but I feel I need to get this in writing for my own protection. This job pays well for my age, and I am worried about getting fired, but I also know this is a matter of when, not if, a security issue will occur.

I’m planning on bringing up a 9020 Optiplex with Coreboot and TianoCore installed. I have already installed Coreboot on some of the other systems and made sure the chip is locked down. I have a fresh Windows 10 installed on it using our volume license USB. The 9020 is pretty standard at our location. It’s $50, but I’ll just do it for my job’s sake. This employee has been asking for a new computer for 2 months, and he really needs it.

Nobody brought up race except you. And ah, I can see now, you’re an anarchist? Enjoy making below $15/hour then chump. Cry about why nobody gives you opportunities, its because your mind is absolutely smooth as butter. I will gladly keep all my firearms, thank you very much for giving me more reasons to do so. I just love how you immediately pulled the race card, that’s how you try to win all your conversations eh? Pathetic.

Yeah but then you probably say you want to ban all guns as well, just so that people can come over undocumented and bring over whatever they want. Again, doesn’t sound smart. What about all the people who did it the legal way? I don’t think having completely open borders is a great idea. It’s why I advocated for lessen the amount of time it takes to become a citizen, so they can do it the legal way and don’t have to get deported. You don’t even want people to be documented? You’re just going to let anyone in from one of the countries with the highest crime rates?

They already are banned. I wonder, why there is a fentanyl crisis in the US?

Actually, Linux is just the kernel, not the whole OS. The full operating system is called GNU/Linux because it combines the Linux kernel with GNU tools. Teaching people about GNU and why it was made is important. It’s not just about using software but understanding the freedoms behind it – the freedom to use, study, modify, and share. Free Software is about more than just open-source, it’s about user freedom, and that’s a crucial distinction. Now, I’m not forcing you to say GNU/Linux, I say Linux most of the time myself, but you should still teach people about GNU.

No, when you have sex traffickers and drug cartels coming over, I don’t think that’s very smart. What I think needs to happen is to lower the limit of how long it takes to become a citizen of this country, that’s what really needs to change.

I just fixed it, thank you for the heads up!
