I had to have at least 6.12 to have drivers for all my hardware, and Debian is even now still only on 6.11. I'm using 6.14 now because that's the newest that will work without making other changes, and I've been uninterested in figuring it out as this is new enough for my purposes otherwise.

Back in times of yore it was normal to build your own kernel, and today Debian and Linux together make it very easy once you get through the long-winded documentation, as the files you need to make the debs are in the kernel sources. Especially if you are willing to go version by minor version, but often even if you want to skip a number of them, you can usually just make oldconfig and hold down enter...

That's exactly why nobody should be pushing updates to anything against your will.

My dear, fine friend, your logical fallacy is the ridiculous example.

AIs don't have genetics, tool.

Any human who would write that tripe deserves to be considered a bot.

Yes Intel contributes a lot of code, but so what? How much of it is Intel-specific? I still remember how they made Moblin worthless on non Intel hardware, ensuring that nobody would use it. It died on the vine and its corpse became Meego which also died.

Because they are doing it for money so anything else is fraud

Hahaha I see the Intel investors are still trying to protect their shit investment in clown fucks

(blah blah blah low effort AI bullshit)

Get fucked with your robot daddy

Intel's "Form" that made them famous was having superior process technology and parlaying that into superior performance.

Intel no longer has superior process technology. They have roughly equivalent tech, except that their yields are trash. Or, they use someone else's process technology, in which case it's still not superior.

Intel's Next-Generation Panther Lake Laptop Chips Literally Could Not Be A Return To Form doesn't have quite the same ring to it as the headline you used here, but it wouldn't have been ignorant fuckery.

This is one of those examples of people coming back later and modding my posts down to try to make me STFU.

Check my karma bitches, it ain't workin'

They were cost reduced out of the package. Costs went up, in order to avoid raising prices even more, they cut costs elsewhere.

Do you really want their shitty cable and AC adapter? They're both crap.

If you're not familiar with Microsoft's many absolutely unacceptable security failures, then you have nothing of value to add to this conversation, and there's no purpose in engaging with you further.

Once again, since it didn't seem to sink in for you the many other times it's been said in this discussion and this thread, Microsoft has demonstrated again and again that they are incompetent when it comes to security at every level.

Last I looked there was still a surprising amount of acreage in family farms, even though it's steadily waning. Maybe you're right about mischaracterization, though.

Apparently there is. But even putting that aside, having them have access to so many people's computers is a particularly bad idea.
