I don't know if it's the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab 'Additional Drivers'. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

Hopefully one can turn off all this new bull in about: config...

Great to hear! All's well that ends well :)

As @tal@lemmy.today reports, it's a known bug. If you disable UBlock and possibly Decentraleyes, then navigate to a page, then re-enable them, navigation should then work normally, at least for a while.

Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!

Thank you again! I'll investigate :)

They can be useful, used "in negative". In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answers to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT are correct or not, and why.

On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can't use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they'd be going in circles.

But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)

As a bonus, the students see for themselves that LLMs/GPTs are often grossly or subtly wrong when answering technical questions.

I'll do so.

May I ask you one more thing? I see that DNS0.eu speaks about setting their DNS resolvers in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Do you know what's the difference between specifying the DNS there, and specifying it in the network configuration (for instance in Ubuntu, IPv4 -> Method = Automatic (Only addresses) & DNS Servers = [list])?

Much gratitude!

Thank you so much for the clarification and for the very useful link!

I'll edit my original confused post – or maybe delete it altogether.

Thank you for this comment. So Unbound does only DNS caching, without really resolving? I think I've completely misunderstood its purpose.

What I wanted to achieve was independence from CloudFlare and other DNS resolvers. But I think I've completely misunderstood what Unbound does!

Cheers, will look into it! I think I'm very confused as to what I want...

I'm starting to think that I've misunderstood what Unbound does. I thought I'd be a replacement for a DNS resolver (like CloudFlare). But from the replies here I'm starting to think it isn't?

Thank you for the warning! I'll know it's expected then :) In my case I'd like to use it more or less independently of the network I'm in, that's why I'd like to take a single-machine approach.

Thank you, I see the advantages of a network approach. In my case it's just two laptops in my network, and I'm also thinking of the case when I'm using the laptop in some other networks.

Completely agree there. New models too often turn out to have some mass-produce flaws. I one waits a little, these problems come out and a little search reveals them. So one can buy a slightly older but safer model. I have one of the very many Carbon gen 9 that turned out to have defective Thunderbolt ports; if only I had waited a little before buying a brand-new model...

@hansolo@lemmy.today @MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone @mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com Thank you for the explanation! Makes complete sense now. I see that several search engines are selected in the settings, and their response time are also reported.

I must say this is a very interesting feature...

Thank you for netobookcheck, great resource! 🙏 So you bought your Z16 for some store? I'll look around too :)

Just inquired, apparently they don't ship to my country :(

This looked really cool and more or less what I'm looking for. But it seems the Z series has been discontinued? Maybe they joined it with the T series.

One problem in the Lenovo website is that you can't filter laptops by pen-capability. They have a "touch" search filter, but that isn't the same.
