I made the mistake of letting the 13yo use my laptop. Now he wants to keep it..

Anybody remember this?
This was the Sierra Wireless AirCard 300 that enabled wireless dial-up remote access connectivity over CDPD networking on laptops at roughly 9600bps. Great for Outlook email or accessing small files over SMB.

I have a laptop at home with GeForce GTX 960M and I cannot find out if the chip is better supported by the nouveau or the nvidia driver on Linux. AFAIK it's a Maxwell chip, and Maxwell chips are supported by nouveau. But does it re-clock? How do I find out?

Content warning: Lots of assumptions

Is it odd to feel rebellious for *not* doing/liking something that the majority of people in some group you belong to do/like, and which they maybe think is a sign of non-conformity?
I don’t like metal/heavy music (even though most of Finns who aren’t into horrible tango/schlager do).
I don’t put stickers on my laptop (like most FLOSS devs/fans do).
I have no tattoos.

@… my laptop is definitely missing a font capable of showing the cuneiform glyphs, any suggestions which one I could pick?

Turns out that desktop computers don't survive a power outage the way laptops do. I suppose it's good to be reminded about things like that.

I am so hard on headphones. I am semi-picky and prefer over the ears for my Chromebook and laptops. For the cell phone I have and use ear buds.
Well, I have broken my third bluetooth headset and these are not cheap models! For some reason the spot where you adjust the fit broke. I try my best being gentle when putting them on or take them off, but that is a weak point. The wired sets are still going strong after years of use, but I prefer going wireless.

Bought Xreal One AR sunglasses. Basically a virtual oled screen strapped to your face, but I quite like the experience so far. Might have to try out coding with them and the steamdeck too. They can present to a laptop as a ultra wide screen which seems nice.

I love the Framework 13" laptop I have, but I'm not gonna lie: the Lenovo X1 that I have is just the perfect Linux laptop. Keyboard is amazing to type on and the Ctrl key is even in the right place on this model.

GMail:
"Be careful with this message.
This message appears to be sent from your account but Gmail couldn't verify this. Someone might be impersonating your account. If you're not sure the message is from you, use caution when clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information."
I sent it while logged in to GMail using multiple authentication steps from my home network using a secure laptop. What are they talking about? Serious question: how could they not verify it? It's either an idiotic engineering problem on their end or I'm terrified that security is meaningless. Probably both.
