  • Does linux support from manufacturer really matter?

    The tuxe laptop convertible may seem nice and if she wants to draw on the screen then you are going to be limited on other options. But I would be worried about that intel gpu.

    If you want to do 3d modeling you will need something that is gaming grade. I would rather game on a crappy card than model using one. But i also confess i am not up to date with the last few years of developments in that space.

    In my very humble experience with digital art a proper dedicated drawing tablet beats any kind of touchscreen drawing.

    So if you comfortable installing a chosen linux distro from a usb. (It really is not difficult, ai and YouTube can guide you trough it) and she is not already adept at touchscreen drawing i would suggest:

    Lenovo Legion Both my partner and their mom have one with a different graphics card. Most of this line have nvidia rtx cards and all of those will do the job. Naturally more expensive models will have newer/faster cards.

    Wacom intuos i am biased to call wacom tablets great because i have never used any others. I can say the intuos line is much nicer then the older bamboo pen and touch/fun line. Models come in different sizes











  • I never specified correctly read data.

    I don’t care weather they read it by microwave the tape and provide me a transcript of chef and dinner quest first reactions to it. Or if that ends up actually useful. But its interesting to know wether or not specific data is at all requestable.

    When it comes to things that are deemed public, all the information around it should be too, regardless of intend or use.

    In essence, everything is information, it would be a mistake to discriminate on perceived value because we never know what future science can accomplish or what specific aspiration someone may follow.

    Practical Example: While its reasonable that most people assume The text of the Declaration of Independence is what is important. That is not the case if you happen to do a historical study of hemp genetics and want to learn what strain of the plant was used for the declaration.

    An officia office should to my opinion put as much effort into being helpful against requests of both kind.


  • So its the citizen that has to go to court over it, shame.

    I still propose that in cases like the above tape we should try and request any information about it as possible.

    What are its exact dimensions?

    From what materials is the tape build? Can we get a description of its smell?

    Any text of markings on it or the box/closet it is stored in?

    What facility is the tape housed?

    Is there a record of who has previously seen or borrowed it?

    At some point someone may actually get something useful they can start tracking with.







  • Are you familiar with Jellyfin?

    https://jellyfin.org/

    If you can set up a server of this then its as easy as making the library folder the output folder for yt-dlp

    I didnt even have to write me own script. I gave chatgpt a notepad with channel urls and just told it to write me code to load these urls one by one and download the Last 2 videos. (Trust me you dont want to accidentally download a whole channel). Yt dlp can maintain a log of sort so videos aren’t downloaded more then once.

    I run this script on a schedule and delete the video when i am done with it. Nice and clean. I can also recommend trying to run an invididious instance for general video browsing but mine took some twiddling to setup right.
