For your last question: some people still do. For the rest: Bluetooth remote, Bluetooth speakers. This was back when the Bluetooth emphasis was on range, versus now its on power savings. Building materials are still the biggest issue affecting the range and quality experience, but reaching the next room or two was usually no big deal when this thing was made.
Holy shit, I’ve repaired a couple of these. Somehow, both were personally owned by different professors, who each opted to have the repairs done in their respective buildings on the same university campus. These were only a couple months apart, maybe less.
I don’t even remember the parts I swapped, or if they were particularly easy or hard to work on inside. I seem to recall one of the Alienware gaming laptops with the removable GPUs I found surprisingly easy by comparison, but that doesn’t mean anything in an era where HP and Dell were both turning out SFF and not-so-SFF desktops that would have both the weirdest accomodations AND gotchas when it came to repairing them.
EDIT: Thinking it was the Optical Drive, in both of them.
These comments are full of people like you smugly assuring us that “because Linux” and “a firewall” are enough. Lotsa firewalls out there running on Intel chips, and there have been no shortage of other mainstream firewall appliances found to have vulnerabilities and backdoors over the years, nevermind all the cable modems with built-in wifi and SPI Firewalls.
If you don’t know enough to teach your kid basic security practices(all good security, and the EASIEST, MOST CONVENIENT FORMS OF IT - all starts at the physical level - pick up any textbook on the topic), regardless of mitigations you may or may not have implimented, you don’t know enough to be having this argument.
Its not the people with properly-configured networks demanding to be convinced to cover their webcams. Also, our PCs are generally not the devices we’re slapping into DMZs and VLANs with either no LAN access, no internet access, or a bajillion blocked(or whitelisted) ports.
Personally, I’m far more concerned about my phone, but google has had my family’s data by the balls forever now anyways, nevermind my kids’ school-provided chromebooks.
Intel and AMD firmware’s have been having exploits discovered all over the news in recent years. Yes, for older processors and chipsets, but tell me, is all your hardware brand new?
When the variable name is the description that should be in the comments.
Idea: Comments that automattically populate the end of any line a given variable is invoked on, including spelling out formulas from that line. ie:
float y=mx+b // (cartesian y value)=(slope)(cartesian x value)+(cartisian y-intercept)
“Duplicated” coments not actually in the file, but specified witt the creation of such variables and spread around by the code editor /IDE.
Metric uses those for numbers less than 1, a situation that doesn’t arrise in computing. There is nothing less than a bit, whether its set to 1 or 0.
That’s my initial impression as well, but it also seems that they just don’t care, and will refuse to until its made clear to them just what a bad look this is, and nothing short of an accusation of impropriety has done the trick yet.
I doubt english is their first language, but more importantly, it seems like there’s a culture disconnect versus mainstream western pr bullshit … which actually serves a useful purpose for once, in this instance.
The context menu would literally say “Move To”/“Copy To” and open either a further drop-down with potential destinations:
… or a pop-over dialogue something like this:
Originally Windows pointed this feature to users’ Downloads, Pictures, and Documents Folders, but as you can infer from the screenshots, the menu was configurable.
I do not need and probably wouldn’t impliment this feature in a mobile file manager app, but I would be telling the OP I just don’t want to do it because its my app with my aesthetic/sensibilities in mind, NOT gaslighting/trolling them that its already implimented.
That’s not what they are requesting.
No one cares. It does NOT have the feature requested in the OP:
X-plore File Manager does:
I’m sitting here like, in my old age I’ve seen things these script kiddies are apparently unaware exist. They will lie to your face and insist its not lying, so long as they can’t be bothered to learn any differently.
All these idiots insisted the requested feature is in the app, so I tried it and found … MaterialFiles doesn’t have Move-to/Copy-to. It’s not a feature that even makes all that much sense(if any) for a mobile app, but damn, they should just say that instead of insisting its a feature their app already has.
I have like eight different file-browsers on my phone, as each has one or more features the others won’t, or can’t impliment. ES File whatever - the only one that can set a file as a ring-tone. X-plore File-Manager - let’s me sort media files based on length, not just age, name or file-size … and also happens to be the only mobile file-browser I’ve seen with the feature requested in the OP.
For my day-to-day, I use fx File Browser, and I couldn’t even tell you why. I’m of an age where I stick to what I’m used to until I’m forced into an alternative, and even then that one feature usually doesn’t make for a new daily driver. “Dev’s” like are crowding this thread are doing their best to make sure it stays that way. I’m ready to jump ship to a Linux phone because there are fewer (shit)devs writing apps for them.
First off, your link doesn’t work. Do you know how to use Lemmy?
Second, no, Material Files does not have the “Move To” or “Copy To” features OP requested, although I’ll agree, its a weird feature request for an android app:
Still, it IS a feature in the android app X-Plore File Manager:
Please, in the future, bother to try to understand even the very basics of that on which you speak. okthxbai
No, they are requesting a drop-down menu option, or menu-bar option(not familiar with this software, but normally such options would go under the Edit menu), one that either opens a further drop-down with likely destinations(a built-in feature in Windows file manager of all places, some twenty years ago) or a whole pop-up dialog. If anything, they could stand to be more specific with their request, as they undoubtedly have a preference.
Don’t confuse UI requests with underlying functionality and technical capabilities. Tell them their UI request won’t be implimented for whatever(keeping things uncluttered maybe?) reason, but telling them their requested feature already exists is simply untrue, and leads them to believe you don’t understand what they are requesting.
Based on your replies, they are not wrong, OP either doesn’t understand, is being obtuse, or is just trolling them as OP has nothing better to do. Want to mock people for “wasting your time”? Don’t be the one actively wasting their time AND your own.
Which side of the conversation are we mocking here? Guessing the user is unaware they can select multiple files at a time … but I’ve also found the menu options they are asking for useful in the past.
Rick Astley for the new Ipsum Lorem!!
Looks like it won to me.
