Buying a new NVME for my desktop has shown me people miscalculate PCIe Gen versions and the throughput you get. Gen3 x4: 3.938 GB/s Gen4 x2: 3.938 GB/s Also think about GPUs and how much (or little) memory they have... Gen3 x16 is 15.754 GB/s

Impressed with Linux on the desktop. Got a new monitor that does the fancy USB C stuff, plugged it in to my laptop running Debian Stable and everything just worked perfectly. Also super nice now only having 1 cable to my laptop instead of 5

Depends on how the YubiKey is configured and what modes of operation. Also on the enterprise end. I used to let users bring their own key but can see why admins might not want that.
Ugh a bug in Android 12 means my settings app bombs out when going in to a certain menu😢 Seems to be here cs.android.com/android/platf… that compare call with "android.text.SpannableString cannot be cast to java.lang.String"
