  • Does your motherboard have a boot menu option?

    I haven’t done 2 Linux installs in this way, but for Linux / Windows I don’t really “dual boot”. I have two separate drives, with two separate installations. I can boot into either one, even if the other drive is missing.

    I did each install with all of the the other drives removed from the machine to keep things clean. Then I can just select whichever drive I want to boot into from the motherboards / UEFI boot menu.

    The only downside to this is that I do have to select a default boot drive, so if I’m not paying attention, Windows update will reboot into the Linux installation since it’s the default drive.








  • While I don’t / won’t use the slop machines, I’m not entirely convinced that they haven’t / won’t just add a Copilot Free account to my VS or GitHub accounts: They did just this to my (now canceled) Office account.

    I do think that a lot of people are missing that it’s just Copilot data that they’re using to train, not all of the repository data hosted on GitHub (or don’t trust that it will be only Copilot data long term).

    For me it just means one more thing to move to our own servers (we always self hosted SVN)



  • Haven’t been really into the scene much in a few years, but this seems to track.

    Over the years I’ve built several kits, and a couple of partial / fully custom boards (including one hand wired), but my current daily driver is a Keychron, and I’m super happy with it: Between the build quality, case and switch options, QMK, hot swap, backlighting, etc, I really haven’t missed my older boards (although I still want to build a split 1800ish layout someday), and I’m sure I’ll dump more money into caps at some point.





  • Going to start doing this to the QuickBooks online one that shows up automatically every time I log in.

    Was just asking it for recipes, spamming it with random text, asking how to embezzle, or why the Intuit management was so incompetent and evil, until it told me I was out of tokens for the month and tried to get me to buy more.
