GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.

Cadmium, on the other hand.

Did I misunderstand something about the scenario here?

Wordpress foundation is a non-profit that develops and hosts installation packages and updates.

WPengine is a for-profit company that sells wordpress hosting.

All WPengine installations constantly look for updates and download these from the wordpress foundation. I'd bet they probably rack up half of their bandwidth costs.

WPengine can of course freely use wordpress' GPLv2 licensed stuff, but it sounds like their leeching of resources was the main pain point.

To either contribute or host their own installation packages sounds like a fair request at the scale WPengine has been operating.

Hetzner, for comparison, sells virtual private servers running Debian. Debian is free, under a similar license as wordpress. Hetzner is a Debian partner and coughs up dough. Hetzner hosts their own mirrors to reduce load on Debian's repositories.

Be like hetzner. Stroke the hand that feeds, or are least don't tug at it.

Sounds like a prompt for generative AI to sink its teeth into.

edit: Here's a starting point if someone with photochop skills wants to bring it to the finish line.

these emulation handhelds – which often come pre-loaded with hundreds of games

I can only speak for the retroid pocket I have. It's not far off from a stock android phone, sans camera and modem, plus d-pad and sticks.

It only came preloaded with a few open source emulators available on play store for free in addition to GApps (with official play store support).

I thought identical twins usually had like a dozen of so diffing mutations by the time they reach adulthood.

I'm not familiar with 23andme enough to know if their markers would pick up on it.

INFO: What filesystem does your source drive/partition have?

Sega Master System. Bought mine used for 200 Finnish marks. Sold it to buy a karate gi.

Bought an SMS2 in 2009 and RGB-modded it. It's been hooked up too my CRT ever since.

I spent a good few years with it. It's been ten years since I sold it. Those games really shine on a retroid pocket with upscaling.

It's not retro in my mind, but I'm old.

I do wish the cables were male and ports female (think Lightning)

There's a reason 99% of barrel connectors have power on the inside. I'd be nervous too fry a USB port or charger with the live end of a cable with power exposed.

Apparently lightning cables have an authentication chip in them, because of course they do. I'm guessing this chip also protects against short circuits between power and the other lines. I don't think the USB implementers forum would like to add that kind of over-engineering to their specification.

I've only physically broken one USB-C receptacle, and in that instance the whole port got ripped off the circuitboard.

For an external display I'd bet the case is the hardware driver for the panel.

At least my 17" Powerbook G4 with a massive 2560x1440 display does it in the software display driver. I'm sure some laptop panels do it in hardware as well, but seems there's some very janky shit going on at least with laptops that have both integrated and discrete GPUs.

USB-C is clearly superior. You can plug them in either way

With USB-A it always takes three tries to get it plugged in.

My PowerBook G4 might be a bit dated, but running other resolutions than native is quite heavy on that thing. Your built-in display can handle one resolution only - anything else will require upscaling.

Your GPU can probably do that upscaling for cheap. But cheaper than rendering your desktop applications? 🤷‍♂️

You'll have to benchmark your particular device with powertop.
