I meant the USB power coming from dock to charge port on laptop. If you mean USB (thunderbolt) out for display then it migtht not be bidirectional for power. My HP has a USB-C thunderbolt but the power cord has the USBC and barrel power in one plug since the USBC can’t charge the laptop.

USB Cable connection, power failing? Is drive set to power down on idle and then falling off the radar?

WSL is fine for doing ssh type stuff or simple things but it is wonky for full distro use experience.

I have an HP zbook. Fan did that a few times, almost like it didn’t recognize power control and defaulted to a higher fan speed. Booting to windows and then back to Linux fixed it. Not sure why.

Is the office and thee charge rated at enough wattage, and is the USB cable a heavy duty power cable intended for the machine or some cheap cable?

Lenovo did this when they bought Iomega NAS devices. The final firmware before they ended support added google ads to the web admin interface. So now I have it booting Debian and OpenMediaVault, bye bye Lenovo.

SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

Hawaii. Beautiful scenery, culture, food. Florida has a beach yes , but also ugly cities and some terrible. floridians

I Bussed tables a long time ago. Plate stacking was helpful if the patron did it as plates only, but some patrons try handing you a stack of plates that have silverware sandwiched in between and it makes it precarious

Unless you have lots of cash, then you just come in to Quebec via the investor immigrant route, get your PR and move to another province

This is my favorite reading of it. Gives me goosebumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESWzPhZWYeI

“Silence deafens everything.” At first it seems counterintuitive, but being silent can “deafen” those around you (or society) to an issue or problem.

And my friends dad commented on his wanderlust need : “It doesn’t matter where you travel to, you will never get away from yourself”

BLINX! Thanks. I loved that game. I don’t think I have played Sands of Time. I will have to try that.

What was that Xbox game where you had rewind time as part of the gameplay…the character was Buzby or something…a animal creature with a vacuum cleaner type weapon

Income is income. Crypto is traceable, cash is not. Not sure how people think crypto is anonymous, there is a literal ledger of transactions

Both my parents were longtime smokers, my dad quit cold Turkey after 25 years. My mum quit cold turkey after about 45. They both seemed fine with it, maybe some nicorette gum at first but they dropped that quickly. With my dad having 20 years smoke free ahead of my mom, his health is way better. He is active. My mom needed some heartwork done.

Nope, my experience has been mostly positive.

Doctor is amazing, and when my biopsy came back negative, he said It says it is not cancer been I think it is wrong, we will reorder the same biopsy. He was right.

Got pulled over for doing a Uturn to help a stray animal. Cop reviewsed my driving record and recognized I had zero infractions, so gave me the website link to research Uturn rules in an Industrial zone rather than a ticket.

Had some great teachers. One was a great mentor and we stayed in touch with over the years. One teacher volunteered to stay after school when admin said our Dungeons and Dragons club had to have a staff member involved.

Go by her lead. She will tell you what she wants if she wants it, and you guys have open communication. Don’t over think sex, and sex performance

Its not you/your country. The cost of living has vastly outpaced wages almost everywhere.

I feel bad for this generation and the struggles faced.

There are apps like Fiver where you can connect with people (around the world) needing your skills for short stints. Maybe try that until you find something permanent.

I find a little bit of work pressure keeps me in a higher state of awareness/interest. Day goes by much quicker too.
