The WiFi still works on EndeavourOS on my 2012 MBP but even then I couldn’t use WPA 3 on my router. I could tell the writing’s on the wall for that chip so I got a tp-link USB WiFi adapter that’s recognised straight away without any tinkering.
I get to use modern secure protocols and feel confident nothing will mess up because I haven’t had to tinker or try anything to have it working.
Also sometimes with a wireless issue there’s an easy workaround.
The ancient Broadcom WiFi module is the most problematic aspect of my 2012 MacBook Pro, but I got a fully Linux compatible tp-link USB wifi adapter for about £10.
I wrote that it was people who sneeze “super loudly” that seem to be doing it for attention, not just anyone who makes any vocalisation at all.
Some people feel the need to turn every sneeze up to 11. Saying like a cartoon character is a good way of putting it.
You’re totally normal and in fact it’s the people who are, consciously or unconsciously, choosing to vocalise the “ah-choo!” that are the weird ones, at least in my book.
It actually really bugs me when people sneeze super loudly, I swear some people just do it for attention.
I didn’t buy an aeropress for years as I had a coffee machine and was like, surely that’s better.
But finally got one, and my god. The simplicity. The ease of cleaning. The nice coffee.
It’s basically my sole way of making coffee now, despite more pricey alternatives at my disposal.
The Settlers II… what a game.
I’m still desperate to find a port of the Mac version, the DOS intro just doesn’t hit the same.
Encona hot sauces are some of the most readily available in the UK, reasonably priced, and they generally slap
Wanted to just chip in and agree that EndeavourOS deserves enormous praise for how much it gets up and running for you straight off the bat.
I run Linux on a 2012 MacBook Pro, more as a hobby than as my main computer.
It’s about the only distro that actually near-enough just works on that particular Mac at this point, with Linux Mint a close second. If I install it from the live image then change my network settings to use WPA 2 security rather than WPA 3 then I have a fully working computer.
Most distros fail to even boot to a working live image on that Mac. And if they do, then I can’t for the life of me get the WiFi working after that.
Being “terminal centric” scared me off at first, but I finally realised how little you actually need to know to install software and keep it updated once you’re up and running.
It’s an amazing distro.
Installing tuned-ppd (I think I’ve got that right) fixes this for a lot of people
Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.
All three are very good, very moving documentaries.
I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more
We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say
Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Ok, so… she’s a dog

We’ve taken way too many things that don’t need to be plastic and made them plastic
I wanted to give OpenSuse Tumbleweed a go yesterday, but the live USB got stuck at “Loading basic drivers” so I couldn’t even get to being able to install it.
I guess nothing’s changed then haha. I have a 2015 LCD Bravia. No longer my main TV, but it’s been awesome.
But the delay between turning it on and being able to switch inputs… Jesus.
As a young child I didn’t know I had to wash between my toes, and I got athletes foot.
If only a kind doctor had cut all my toes off when I was born.
