I was gonna buy an HP omnibook with a snapdragon processor but I googled to see if it worked with my rollo label printer. It doesn't.

Even linux support for these chips isn't great. I was interested in the qualcomm laptops, but qualcomm's lack of support for linux made me lose interest. I am so tired of arm hardware with poor vendor support.

Snapdragon has been great for me, I've been dailying mine for about 16 months now. People like >>107697328 will meme that software doesn't work because they haven't actually used one recently. Nearly everything "just werks" without any special config. The only limitations I've found involve software that's legacy and/or niche, such as an ECU tool for a 20 year old car and the firmware updater for Innoasis MP3 players.

For a laptop, ARM gives you both battery life and thermals (the fans almost never spin up). In the rare occasion I need to do something ARM can't handle, such as the Innoasis firmware updater, I just use my desktop. If you need to run a lot of oddball software and it's your only computer, ARM probably isn't for you. But if you're doing fairly regular things or have other computers (like most of /g/ presumably), ARM is ideal for a mobile device.

If you want an arm chip that just works for $500 then you won’t do much better than a second hand M2 MacBook Air. User experience, performance and software support will be infinitely better than a $500 windows arm laptop

SP1 made XP usable, SP2 killed raw sockets and enshittified half open connections (which can be fixed with 3rd party patches but still). SP3 didn't feel like much of a change at all even though the changelog was massive.

It took a few years for 2000 to actually get proper 3d hardware acceleration support, which back then was about the only reason for XP's existence as far as I'm concerned.

Over time, though, 2000 support diminished and XP became the absolute minimal requirement.

Today I daily drive POSReady 2009 and I've never been happier.

I liked 8.1 because at the time you could have it connected to internet as a daily os and it not update itself without permission (digital rape), but if you're gonna have a VM with no network adapter like I've got you may as well use 10.

Why is this fucking allowed?

Everyone around the office fucking loves the sysadmin and I've even seen people leaving chocolates and presents in his private office (yes, the motherfucker gets a fucking private office) while my developer colleagues and I are forced into open seating like pic related with help desk sitting in front of us and project managers behind to keep an eye on us, also we're viewed as "those weird programmers".

In my experience, sysadmin is one of the most thankless jobs in tech.
Even when the fuckup is not your fault, everyone points fingers and think you're an idiot.
Even when the fuckup is actually fault of some idiot programmer, the entire office thinks it's your fault, and even when you end up fixing the jeet programmer's fuckup yourself nonetheless the worst they get is a slap in the wrist.
If OP's company is like he says and treat their sysadmins with some dignity they're an outlier

A mistake on any app can affect thousand if not millions of users that will trust less the entire company when happen and shit like that should be caught on DEV/QA/UAT, if it arrives on Prod there is a serious problem with your development process.
A single office without internet (its not an excuse, should have redundant services) only affect the productivity of 100~500 employees at much, depending on the type of failure.

If you're just in it for the money, chances are you'll be better off in Norway. But CPH is a really nice city (much nicer than Oslo imo), the people are friendly, coffee and bakeries are amazing, food is top notch. Then again, as a norwegian you probably enjoy the mountains a lot, and we have none of that here.

>If you're just in it for the money, chances are you'll be better off in Norway.
It's an interesting job and a nice opportunity to work abroad (but still relatively close to home). If I just had a generic job back in Oslo, I would definitively go for it. However, my current job is something I've worked long and hard to get and I've reached the point where I have so much seniority and trust at my current company that I can pretty much decide exactly what I want to work on at any give moment.

I enjoy Copenhagen a lot every time I go there, but of course all tourists enjoy going somewhere new.

>Then again, as a norwegian you probably enjoy the mountains a lot, and we have none of that here.
Sadly, I don't enjoy the mountains as much as I used to. Used to do it a lot more when I was younger, but it's kind of a hurdle to leave town to go to them.
