59·1 day agoThis wasn’t even an AI issue nor even a translation issue. They published an article that lacked sources, and still wasn’t good enough once sources were added.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would I improve Wifi consistency within my house?
5·2 days agoInstead of chaining them together, try to put the “router” in a central location and do what’s needed to limit your repeaters to a single hop away from the router. Chaining them together will lead to problems.
A proper mesh system will work better than repeaters. Some systems can use powerline networking to use your existing power outlets as a network, but it’s not always that great.
Some locations such as apartments/condos have really bad interfering neighbors on 2.4ghz. If that’s your situation then using 5ghz exclusively might help.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify?
2·2 days agoThey will close. If you look at how many gas stations there are you’ll see that they are everywhere. I was driving through Iowa and saw an intersection that had 6 gas stations.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions)
2·3 days agoYou can easily search for news on Linux malware. Most recently npm was affected.
Npm is used by a lot of software, so updating your software from valid sources could easily infect your machine.
It’s also dead simple to misconfigure something on Linux, like your firewall, leaving your machine exposed to the internet. Linux doesn’t bother you nearly as much as windows does when it comes to updating and restarting. Windows used to be that way too but had to adapt to the changing threat landscape.
With VMs you can try as many at once as your system can support, with less risk than booting up on a livecd, and the ability to switch between them without having to reboot.
Moving files manually is fine.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions)
5·3 days agoDon’t use an EoL/EoS OS, full stop.
Start up virtualbox or any virtual machine on your windows machine and test drive a few different distributions until you find one you like.
Use windows built in backup services or something like the Veeam free backup agent before blowing up your system.
I would also move my files to a cloud services, even if it’s temporary.
Install the distribution your choice.
Spin up virtual box again and restore your machine into it. You may have license activation issues but you’ll have access your data. Move your data out of the VM and onto your home folder.
Also note that win11 isn’t nearly as bad as people here say.
Linux has malware. It’s just different. Linux supports nvidia, a usb boot would help you determine how well your hardware is supported.

8·4 days agoMS would be wild to expect people to buy a new machine before 2036. Consumer prices aren’t going to magically fall.
Either this is incorrect info, a huge flop, or MS really doesn’t care if home users switch to Linux from all the cash flowing in from businesses.


It’s not like Trump is some mastermind coming up with all these ideas on his own, and Miller isn’t likable enough to get elected.
