I wonder why they didn’t go with something more supported, like a Realtek chip. They’re not the best (I’d prefer Intel or Aquantia), but they’re cheap and widely supported. The Framework’s Ethernet expansion card uses a RTL8156 which is supported practically everywhere.

Does this have a way of sharing a directory publicly?

So its not being charged for everyone, only those not running on Azure (which is a huge number of folks). However, Microsoft giving preferential terms to MS software running in Azure

They probably bundle it into the cost for Azure customers. That’s really not Azure-specific; any server provider could offer complementary hotpatching if they bundle it into their Windows licensing cost.

Did you read the article? It’s specifically about hotpatching (patching the kernel without rebooting). You usually need to pay for hotpatching on Linux too, for example using a provider like ksplice or KernelCare, etc.

I think OP means “just work” as in the OS is preinstalled. Framework do support Linux but they don’t preinstall a distro for you.

Having said that, I’ve got a Framework 16 and it’s very nice.

What Ethernet chip do they use?

I’ve got a Framework 16 and all components work on both Fedora and Debian without installing custom drivers, so I’m surprised it’s still an issue for some laptops.

Even if it passed, that’s not going to stop Trump from doing what he wants.

Haven’t watched the video yet, but in theory you can do anything in Excel on Windows since it can load COM/ActiveX components written in C / C++ / whatever language you want.

Let’s say you get 50K miles out of a set of tires.

Note that most EVs get nowhere near that. The faster acceleration, higher torque, and heavier weight chew through tires.

So a flat tax on tires would results in EV owners paying more even though they don’t damage the road significantly more than petrol vehicles.

I hope that goes well for them. It’s hard and extremely expensive, which is why there’s so few good search engines and half of them just use Bing’s API.

Do you have a source for that? I think it’s nowhere near 95% of sites given there’s several major providers that aren’t AWS or Cloudflare (eg Hetzner, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Wordpress.com, and a bunch more)

Definitely true. I’ll have to try it out. Is Ecosia better than DuckDuckGo or Kagi?

Google was best in the 2000s, but things were different back then. They were still a young company trying to improve the world, SEO spam wasn’t really a thing yet, there were far fewer websites, and most online discussions were archived and searchable (compared to today where there’s platforms like Discord that aren’t indexable in search engines at all).

I use it for document summarization and it works well. I use Paperless-ngx to manage documents, and have paperless-ai configured to instantly set the title and tags using Gemini as soon as a new document is added.

I chose Gemini over OpenAI since Google’s privacy policy is better. I’m using the paid version, and Google says data from paid users will never be used to train the model. Unfortunately I don’t have good enough hardware to run a local model.

It’s been common ever since magnet links were created, since you can post a magnet link anywhere (even in a plain text file) rather than having to upload a .torrent file somewhere like in the old days.

This is available in the UI too - there’s a tab labeled “Web”. Sometimes it’s hiding under “More”.

Adding it to the search provider URL is a good idea though.

Ecosia still uses American services though - they use Google, Bing, Yahoo and Wikipedia for search results.

Culturally, the “western world” includes Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world

I’m talking specifically about companies that post a loss every quarter, like Backblaze does. Backblaze’s net profit in Q4 2024 was -$14.38 million. Their net profit is going up year over year, but it’s still negative.

in the west

Specifically in the USA to protect the local car market… Chinese EVs are popular in countries like Australia.
