The seafront at Swanage. It was cloudy and cold, and honeslty I would not have had it any other way, because that's how I remember the seaside back home.

As it's work purchased it has to have certain things installed, which limits distros. Annoying but that's the situation.

I don't think I ever got it working in Arch. It's just a camera, but still. Supposed to be fixed in 6.10.* But it ain't.

And while you don't *need* an OEM install from the factory, some of the newer ones have some very picky hardware. The XPS 13 9340 we tried only had camera support with some Dell PPA enabled and Ubuntu 22.04. Upgrading to 24.04 broke it again.

Their configurator didn't allow linux without some insanely expensive spec, so I will probably throw a distro on there as soon as I have time

Got a replacement Dell 16" precision for my old one which died just out of warranty. Dell somehow made it even bigger and heavier, which is impressive. It's like billet steel.

It'll come round in about 3 days at this rate.

I'm thinking of going back again in late Spring but will need to smash the piggybank 🇬🇧

3 weeks ago today I was out in the West End seeing Coogan's Dr. Strangelove. Time goes so fast.

Okay dude

AWS quite frequently send me these emails warning of deprecating a service, and I have *no* idea what on earth they're talking about.

@Jackiemauro We used to work together at CMU. Well, I worked for you, more accurately.
