It is absolutely Broadcom's fault, but it's also still the state of things.

Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.

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 don't get too technical with the court reporter software. They have their own license and receive direct support from their vendor. What I have seen is that there is an interpreting layer between the stenographer machine and the software, literally called magic by the vendor, that is a bit like predictive text. In this situation, the stenographer is actively recording and interpreting the results.

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.

Thank you, I did have that wrong.

If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.

As others said, you can disable swap.

Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It's significantly less resources.

Finnish them.

You will probably only see issues if you are using conversion cables, like from HDMI to DP.

I have seen issues with Tripp Lite not detecting video signal on a DP KVM if the device isn't selected during boot, but the issue is resolved once you hit Windows.

We just finished. We were 0-10 on knocking on doors. Eventually they gave up and kept on trucking.

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.

Yeah, that was my reaction as well. It's so onion flavored I can't believe it.

Donald Trump ate my baby.
