With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.

I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.

Its the best when you buy an LP and get a download code for the album as well.

I listen to LPs mostly when I want music to be the primary thing im doing. There is a whole ritual involved with putting a record on. Whereas, sometimes I just want to listen to something while I’m doing dishes or driving, and then playing an MP3 over a Bluetooth speaker from my phone is just infinitely more convenient.

Should the machine’s operating system be calculated in the storage too?

I’m positive that David Cronenberg had no idea what a video game was when he made that movie

Thats a really nice cell. I dont think they’ll be going to a place like that.

To be fair, comparing terminal to the registry is not comparing apples to apples. The registry is more like a complicated config file full of barely documented options. Still miserable to work in, but that’s beside the point.

The terminal equivalent to windows is Powershell which id say is much more favorable.

Honestly, with the unfathomable amount of money he was set the make from that deal, I dont blame him for doing it.

It’s a good message too, if you ignore who said it and why.

How?

I dual boot and use the command line a similar amount in both. cmd and powershell in windows are super useful for troubleshooting things that don’t work, or setting configuration options that are just not possible from the GUI, like disabling the hiberfil

Windows error messages are usually something to pay attention to if they generate a popup. But you can ignore most errors and warnings in the event viewer.

Linux is the same. If you get a popup, look into that, but if you see warnings or errors in a logfile then they can most likely be ignored if the app is working

If I understand the US system correctly, even if this does become law, its still up for interpretation by the supreme court, so it’ll still likely favor Republican interests.

Yes, Tank Girl is absolutely cyberpunk.

Its dystopian, the bad guy is a profit-motivated corporation, and the heroes belong to an alt-subculture

The first release of windows 11 LTSC is supposed to be out sometime this year too.

Much like the 10 version, I expect it to have most of the bloat removed and only require a couple tweaks.

Well thats just patently untrue.

He has plenty of respect for himself

“Choose LVM and encrypt that volume, you little slut”

This is the kind of thing I’d like to see a lot more of.

Lobby groups in the US cant be trusted to offer sensible regulation of themselves and congress doesn’t know the industry so they cant be trusted for sensible regulations either.

Id be far more willing to trust the US Congress if they knew at least a little about the things they are trying to regulate

It’s hard because the advertising somewhat subsidies the price.(Ie: they want the ad revenue so they will sell the display at cost with the intention that they’ll make all the profit back from ads)

Yo can absolutely find commercial displays in that size and resolution, but you’ll pay a much higher price for them.

Snatcher is the halfway point between Blade Runner and The Terminator. It’s fantastic.

As for versions, I’m not sure about the differences between them, but I played the SegaCD version FWIW.

I’ll switch to Wayland once it becomes the default in the distro I happen to be using that month. Not before.

The point I was trying to make is that if you ever want to do something that is not covered with an out of the box install, it’s typically far harder to do in Linux than in Windows (although my ~15 years as a windows sysadmin probably bias my opinion)

Windows is turning into a telemetry nightmare because about 10 years ago Microsoft figured out that they could sell ad space and monetize user data, so I’m trying to get off the platform before my LTSC install hits EOL. But I have to admit it’s a hard path.
