I'd take them apart, figure out which ones were savable and put the good sound cards, video cards, HD's and such I had back into them to make them usable again and then installed the current version of PCLinuxOS or Linux Mint on them each and every time. [02:57] schestowitz[TR2] I never had an issue even once. [02:57] schestowitz[TR2] Every computer I installed them on was a Frankenstein of hardware from other computers and Linux recognized the hardware every single time. After I was done I gave the computers away to someone who couldn't afford a computer of their own. I lost count of many I gave away. I had a lot of fun and learned so much along the way, it's amazing. I helped the people I gave them too learn about their new systems, got them up and running and [02:57] schestowitz[TR2] bang! They were on their way. A new Linux user out in the wild. [02:57] schestowitz[TR2] Doing that pointed me towards discovering LXer on the internet one day (twenty years ago) and that eventually led me to having the position I have now as Editor-in-Chief of this great website.

    One Exercise Technique Is Especially Good For Building Muscle, Experts Say
    [13:04] schestowitz[TR2]
    [13:04] schestowitz[TR2]

    Compound exercises use multiple joints, so you can generally lift heavier weights than you could with isolation exercises. Lifting a heavier weight means you can build muscle strength more efficiently.

    [13:04] schestowitz[TR2]

    One study divided a group of 36 people into two. Three times a week, one group performed isolation exercises, while the other group did compound exercises.

    After eight weeks, both groups had lost fat. But the compound exercises group saw much better results on measures of cardiovascular fitness, bench press strength, knee extension strength, and squat strength.

    Ubuntu's App Center Now Finally Supports Installation of Local DEB Packages
    [14:28] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:28] schestowitz[TR2]

    When Canonical replaced the Ubuntu Software Center with the App Center application, which acts as a graphical interface to Canonicals Snap Store, in the Ubuntu 23.10 release, it removed the ability to handle locally downloaded DEB packages.

    [14:28] schestowitz[TR2]

    This problem continued with the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release, namely that the App Center application would not allow users to install packages in the DEB file format downloaded from the Internet, apart from other issues it came with like the inability to update all the packages at once to the newest version.

    Solving newcomer data science challenges with Canonicals Data Science Stack now in beta
    [14:36] schestowitz[TR2]
    [14:36] schestowitz[TR2]

    Data science is one of the most exciting topics of the last century. With its utility in industries of all kinds, its easy to see why it has been rated as one of the top 20 fast-growing occupations in the US, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics. However, entering this fast-growing space isnt easy: newcomers face significant challenges in setting up their environments, dea [14:36] schestowitz[TR2] ling with package dependencies, or accessing compute resources. Given these obstacles, its easy to see why a talent shortage persists in the data science field, and why overcoming these challenges is vital for teams and companies.

    [14:36] schestowitz[TR2]

    This blog will walk you through the most common challenges that data science newcomers face, review popular data science platforms, and take a look at the bigger picture of how open source is used in data science. With these insights, you will be able to more easily choose the right tools and options to simplify your work and focus on upskilling in the data science field.
