That’s a good point to hit. Our system encouraged everyone to get a university degree to find work/career, but it doesn’t have to be the path.

Lots of skilled trades out there that offer lots of opportunity to move up while earning well.

My example, I went to Uni because that’s what you do but ran out of my own funds year one, so had to go back to work to save for next round. I started working on the shop floor at a tooling place. They had openings for designers in engineering so I got in there and learned tooling design using CAD/CAM software, they offered apprenticeships so night school was free. As tooling became more automated it led to learning hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical wiring and controls. Later into Lean philosophy for plant efficiencies, etc. Along the way you are in charge of the project and manage time.

Now after 35+ years and changing jobs, my role is often as a consultant and includes mentoring engineers on how to use various software offerings (auto or industrial), or going into companies to conduct audits and produce reports that hilight what they can do better.

It was an organic path, where each learning step along the way led to something new opening up. So rather than a long paragraph like above I think its important for them to not be to anxious; because you can change paths and make choices along the way and end up with something enjoyable of your own making.

RAM will be an issue if they want a Desktop Environment. It would be good to find out max RAM that machine supported and purchase a replacement stick.

If you can get at least 2gig you might have an OK platform.

If you can’t increase RAM then there is a cool project called HaikuOS that is super lightweight, they have some popular packages for it, butitd is not a Linux distro with tons of availabe apps. Its got a late 90s feel to it.

You’re from Android ecosystem right?

These are excellent

I like coffee flavour and the habit of it. But every once in a while I quite drinking it for months, and waking up in the morning feels so much better. There’s no morning grogginess, or oveall tired feeling, just wide awake instantly and ready for the day. Caffeine really does make us dependent even though it is subtle

Xonotic still has players :)

Powershell is actually really good a manipulating large amounts of data and outputting it how you want, the trouble is the commands are too lengthy and convoluted to remember, so I have to check web sources. While Linux commands are simple and short.

Red Star OS has a meta data capture and reencode feature so North Korean authority can check who a picture was created, and access, or shared by.

Need that kind of image locking, without the fascism part

I used delve – with emdash on occasion – in sentences.

AAA first person shooters. At some point new releases are just are a rehash of the exact game mechanics.

I have to concatenate off reports for part of work duties. The GUI tools in Adobe or other PDF editors are slow.

The solution was add Linux WSL2 in Windows. And use qpdf

I can now just open the Linux terminal, type qpdf --pages File1.pdf 1-z File2.off 1-z (etc) – Outputfile.pdf

It is instantly concatenated.

And next report time its just grabbing command from history and editing file name or page numbers needed

UV cured resin could be any type of material cures by UV, so different plastic resin types are possible

I guess I was thinking of the many Linux users I have encountered that sets same user and root password, or has sudo as passwordless. SMH

Understood

Yeah, less vectors are better

Are you using the CLI importer tool?

If they can place exploit code on my machine, I think its already game over, regardless of that bug

So a non issue unless somebody has physical access to the machine?
