Re: Microsoft Windows Deadline—10 Days To Update Or Stop Using Your PC

[Snyder, Alexander J]

By "Dev Console" I mean that I use the "remote SSH" functionality
exclusively on it for all my Python and shell stuffs I need to do in my
homelab. I don't store anything locally.

Since it's an ARM Based laptop my primary SSH Client (SecureCRT) isn't
compatible, so I use PowerShell to SSH, when needed.

If I need anything "complex" done, I'll RDP into my main Surface Pro Tablet.

I have a desktop with an Nvidia A5000 GPU that I think I'm going to start
using more, as in getting more into AutoCAD Fusion360, and the GPU would be
useful.

Regarding driver's, I tried to install "UltiMaker Cura" on it to slice a 3D
printer STL file and the install failed because it needed a newer version
of OpenGL driver, and the specific Snapdragon SoC driver just wasn't
available, but there were loads of Reddit posts of people complaining about
it, LOL, so that was helpful! 🤣
