I talk about the Surface Pro X I got at the beginning of the year and what the pro's and cons of it are. More at www.knightwise.com Twitter: twitter.com/knightwise Added by Ken when posting From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Surface Pro X is a 2-in-1 detachable tablet computer developed by Microsoft. It was developed alongside and was announced on 2 October 2019 alongside the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3.[1] Updated hardware was announced alongside Surface Laptop Go and Surface accessories on October 1, 2020[2] and September 22, 2021.[3] The device starts at $899.99 USD / £849.99.[4][5] The Surface Pro X comes with a Microsoft SQ1 or SQ2 ARM processor, which the company claimed has three times the performance of an x86 MacBook Air, whilst also having a 13-hour battery life. This is due to the increased power efficiency of ARM processors compared to traditional x86 processors.[1][6][7] Microsoft has previously used ARM processors in the discontinued Surface RT and Windows Phone devices. Microsoft now offers a Wifi-only version of the device as announced at their Surface Event on September 22, 2021.[8]

As we saw in the last lesson, DOS uses directories to organize the files on your disks. That means we need to use directory commands to create a structure to store our files, and to find the files we have stored there. This tutorial takes us through the various commands you can use to do this. Links: https://www.ahuka.com/dos-lessons-for-self-study-purposes/dos-lesson-10-directory-commands/

In this episode, Martin and Chris discuss init systems and Chris outs himself as a systemd fan boy (Devuan followers take note :-). Even Linux and other FLOSS OS geeks not interested in what happens when you flick the power switch on a computer may find this episode (vaguely) interesting as some light is also shed on the philosophy of the different system architectures and their history (Ever wanted to know what an /360 IPL really is? Then stay tuned...). Disclosure: The following text may resort to regular expressions to keep things concise and simple. Some of the PCRE-challenged readers may take offence - you have been warned.

Introduction Hosts: MrX Dave Morriss We recorded this on Sunday March 6th 2022. The last time we set up a chat like this was back in March 2021, almost exactly a year ago surprisingly! Note on the title: we spoke a little on the subject of the Scots language in the show - when speaking of the current census - so the title uses a Scots term. Topics discussed COVID: Losing track of time Christmas: A quiet time for both of the hosts, with some family time Dave’s family matters: Son graduated after doing an MSc and got a job quite quickly last year Daughter had graduated from an MSc the year before and also got a job this year. Dave had a bout of shingles in early January, which lasted about 6-7 weeks overall. If you can get a shingles vaccination as you age, get one! UK heating, boilers, etc. MrX’s in-laws had a boiler failure during the cold weather, and a gas leak! Dave had a leak in his cold water tank in the attic which flooded the room below. He decided to completely upgrade the heating system, remove all tanks and put in a new pressurised condensing gas boiler. See the Wikipedia page for an overview of central heating systems. Old-style plumbing; coal fires, back boilers and dampers. The era of coal: Gas poker used for starting domestic (usually coal) fires Coal gas made from coal, superseded by natural gas Gasometer storage device for coal gas Internet connectivity: Dave has transitioned from ADSL to fibre since the last show Fibre to the Premises, with up to 1 Gbit/s if desired New router using Wireless 6 MrX has Fibre to the Cabinet Dave’s new router doesn’t allow the Pi-hole to work at the moment Chromebook: MrX has acquired a Chromebook since our last show It is convenient to use. Made answering the online Scottish Census quite straightforward. Census and Scots Language: The Census asks about the Scots Language, whether the person can speak and understand it. Dave follows @lenniesaurus on Twitter who introduces a daily Scots word. According to Wikipedia: Scots is recognised as an indigenous language of Scotland, a regional or minority language of Europe, and a vulnerable language by UNESCO. In the 2011 Scottish Census, over 1.5 million people in Scotland reported being able to speak Scots.

NVMe SSDs: Everything you need to know about this insanely fast storage NVM Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCIS) is an open, logical-device interface specification for accessing a computer's non-volatile storage media usually attached via PCI Express (PCIe) bus. The acronym NVM stands for non-volatile memory, which is often NAND flash memory that comes in several physical form factors, including solid-state drives (SSDs), PCI Express (PCIe) add-in cards, and M.2 cards, the successor to mSATA cards. NVM Express, as a logical-device interface, has been designed to capitalize on the low latency and internal parallelism of solid-state storage devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express

Discussing the interesting oddity that is the meatball; its origins, and some misconceptions and coincidences surrounding the tasty "traditional" dish of spaghetti and meatballs. Historical context and explanations were provided by the article "Is Spaghetti and Meatballs Italian?" by Shaylyn Esposito, published in Smithsonian Magazine.

One key to working with DOS is to understand the file system. This is not just about organizing files, though that is certainly a part of it, but also about keeping your system running smoothly and recovering lost files in some circumstances.
