quantitative analysis tools - Lemmy Today

I’m (finally) moving our organization towards more decision-based risk analysis rather than just “it’s risk! omg!” Starting with software reviews in the acquisition process. What are folks using for quantitative modeling? I’m thinking simple models that take into account organizational track record (aka number of x incidents in y timespan), industry track record (average of z incidents) and some kind of weighting factor. I have a few options. I can hire a contractor to build some excel models for us. I can spend some money on a software tool, with some work if it’s more than $1k. Or I can invest in books / pluralsight / etc to teach myself quantitative analysis, which will take longer to get done. What’re you folks using for this kind of stuff?

Way to stay on Nvidia 550 w/ Fedora 40? - Lemmy Today

Been running Fedora 40 for a few months, and having a hard time keeping Wayland as the desktop environment. Just did a fresh install, and the Nvidia driver updates to 555.58.02. I really want to stick with the Recommended branch, not the New Feature branch. Every update, Wayland breaks. How do I rollback to 550, and switch to the Recommended Branch for updates?

Looking for good USB ear buds - Lemmy Today

Hey smart peeps, I’m a remote worker who attends a lot of virtual meetings. I also sometimes create training videos or host training sessions, and my current earbuds are some $15 amazon cheapos. I sometimes get feedback that people can hear my typing or the squeak of my chair. I have about $200 budget to spend on some nicer headphones. When I search, I look for ‘noise canceling’ or ‘background sound suppression’, but only see more cheap headphones or some over-the-head headsets. Are higher quality earbuds possible? What’s out there that’s a good product y’all might recommend?
