Connect your phone via USB and share the connection, on Android that's the USB Tethering setting. That'll allow you to download balena and the ISO of your choice.

anyone have expand-on-hover thingy to recommend? can't close an item in the sidebar with minimal clicking.
they are widely available and cheap.
yeah, those are too big. was hoping to score an ITX-sized abandonware for cheap and retrofit it with a 10 TB or so drive. I had this thing many moons ago:
it could fit a drive, with some wiggling and swearing. so I figured maybe something similar exists. building it from new parts is way, way out of budget.
edit: this is how it ran for close to a year.
figured, thanks
Obligatory "this some young people shit".
Young people do and say stupid shit to come off as edgy and the vast majority of them don't actually mean it and regret it later in life.
As to your question, that's why you date people, to see if they're good, for you and otherwise. You don't go "red flag!" -> napalm!!!, you evaluate contexts and repeat occurrences of perceived wrongs.
I have a ton of the bottom three laptops, wanna trade for the shitty one up top?
My thinkpad is also light in the connectivity area and I absolutely adore the $30 dock I got for it. Click the laptop in place and LAN, displays, audio, power, keyboard, mouse, external storage are connected instantly; if I had to connect each one separately, multiple times per day, I'd go insane.
this isn't addressing the technical side per se, but consider your user's rebelling factor, i.e. them passively resisting using the stuff you provide and sticking with corpo-crap.
not to go into details, but I've got a number of opensource solutions in place for various clients. we have ~~huge~~ some issues with users who need to be corralled and coerced into using the provided messengers, web portals, and such. some resist out of habit, other's because they prefer the infinitely more polished UX of assorted spyware as opposed to the janky feel and rather rudimental features of opensource alternatives (think gmail vs roundcube).
don't you need ROCm drivers for that sorta thing? I know you need 'em for OpenCL, Blender, etc., so I assumed it's the same for ffmpeg, so I never bothered to try.
no help to you, but my god is it convoluted and complex; every year or so I look up if there's been some change in that regard and every time I stop reading halfway through the setup instructions. maybe next year...
hell yeah! I just bought a Macbook Pro 15 2011, Core i7 for a whopping $10! according to the seller, "it just died", so I got it to transplant the screen to a MBP 15 2010 i5; way cheaper than the $30-40 ask for a replacement screen.
turns out the fucker is fully functional, the keyboard is shorted somewhere and that's causing the problem. replacement keyboards are like $10, so I'm presently installing and tweaking Fedora 41 and this old boy (fully kitted out - SSD, 8 GB, Radeon works, 90% battery health) is getting dragged into 2024 kicking and screaming.
edit: is there a lemmy community that's into repurposing, fixing and upgrading old laptops, phones, etc.?
