Unfortunately these install instructions also look complicated.

If you read the instructions, it’s literally just downloading the binary, and using balenaEtcher to flash it onto the SD card.

My, neat!

I swear if someone looks at Nova and simply went “yeah let’s replicate its functionality 1:1”, it would become number one in no time

Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.

System and all the “important” apps that I expect to use during the day - dialer, chat, email, maps, browsers - follow the automatic schedule.

Everything else are on perpetual dark mode. Especially the Lemmy clients. Helps me to touch grass when I’m in the sun, instead of doomscrolling…

Omg thanks for asking this, and thanks to the people that responded. I sincerely went through other alternatives around 5 years ago, and none of them were close to Nova in terms of folder customisation. I’m glad the landscape had changed quite a bit!

Put them on a tray, spray with olive oil, sprinkle some salt, bake in oven. Spinach chips! Mmmmm

No. This does not need a 13-minute video.

• Don’t plug in ethernet if you’re using one.
• At the wifi setup stage press shift-F10
• Type oobe\bypassnro

There, saved you 13 minutes

There’s many aspects of Solidworks that are CPU-bound. Worse, they’re only utilising a single core. It’s ridiculous for 2024.

Desktop vs laptop doesn’t matter much for any given CAD software. Just make sure you hit the recommended specs.

There’s truth in this, but also caveats. I work with a bunch of mechanical engineers. In the warmer months, while working on really complex drawings, they need to take frequent breaks.

It’s because laptops are designed to be compact, by sacrificing airflow. So when they run anything heavy, the CPU would heat up and start throttling itself.

On a desktop, easily solved by slapping on a semi-decent cheap cooler. On laptops, well, you take frequent breaks.
