  • You gotta give them props for this go around on everything else, the LPCAMM spec may have been ratified too late in the board design and prototyping phase. That or they reaaally didn’t wanna give up the extreme RAM bandwidth they achieved here.

    Surface devices in the past have also been very Linux unfriendly, necessitating entire online communities dedicated to even attempting to iron out the bugs. So despite the recent announcement for the processor support in the Linux kernel, I’d say temper your expectations for a Microsoft device.

    But if they do deliver a mostly modular, mostly repairable, mostly Linux capable Surface series, and stable x86 emulation in Windows, I will standardize on this equipment in any future IT fleet. There will always be needs for specialty hardware depending on the person, but a snappy all rounder for the rank and file is my biggest desire up front, because RISC will win in the long run, but it has to get adoption started somehow.


  • You remember businesses calling everyone who worked a low appreciation job heroes? CNAs got the shittiest end of the stick on that I think.

    Giant banners calling you heroes greet you as you drive on the lot of the nursing home, and you look at them knowing you’re going to get physically shit on by the patients, and proverbially shit on by the higher level nurses, the administration that now works remote, the family of the patients, and of course the patients again as well. For $12/hr. And you’re extra short staffed because anyone that could find travel work did. Brutal shit for them.
