  • I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.

    That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.



  • I work in judicial tech and have heard questions of using AI transcription tools. I didn’t believe AI should be used in this kind of high risk area. The ones asking if AI is a good fit for court transcripts can be forgiven because all they see is the hype, but if the ones responding greenlight a project like that there will be some incredibly embarrassing moments.

    My other concern is that the court would have to run the service locally. There are situations where a victim’s name or other information is redacted. That information should not be on an Open AI server and should not be regurgitated back out when the AI misbehaves.










  • If it keeps saying your drives missing, and you hang replaced your drives, then the next step is the main board.

    I would inspect the m.2 sockets carefully. It would be easiest to use your phone macro setting if you can.

    You might also have a heat issue. Check your airflow to be sure you have sufficient flow over the drives and it exits.

    Depending on your board, the m.2 lanes connect directly to your processor or possibly your chip set. One of those may be defective. You should check your board documentation to determine which.

    If you think it is an issue with the m.2 process you could consider says SATA SSD. It’s not as fast, but it’s still plenty great compared to spinning disks.
