Ah so that's why I got a random "github-merge-queue Bot removed this pull request from the merge queue due to no response for status checks"

It seems to be random, I tried it a few times during the last few weeks due to people talking about it, and sometimes it lets me use old.reddit.com, while other times it redirects to the login page.

https://openrailwaymap.app/ (the vector tiles version) is much better, I don't know why people keep recommending the older, raster tiles version.

GrapheneOS or other custom ROMs don't solve the actual problem that you can't just buy a smartphone and install any operating system like you can with an actual computer, despite technically being one. Also, GrapheneOS supports de

And it's not just desktop _linux_ that's not allowed, but any desktop operating system, since this only works with "smartphones" not general-purpose computers. (and of course even if they were to support computers, an ag

I've read that in the case of Paks a retrofit doesn't make sense because the entire thing is so old and needs to be rebuilt anyway. However, hopefully, they change the plans for (stalled project) Paks 2, because that would've

That second quote is truly a sentence of all time. It is not possible to use this [computer payment system] on a computer...

This is a very big oversight in that EU law. Allowing third-party "app stores" is completely useless when all apps must be approved by the operating system company. It's also being abused by google (technically, will be, very

The same thing happened to me in school (during a test...), except I tried to type & on a hungarian keyboard, which is of course also altgr+c.

I would be fine with this if it meant CPUs became slightly cheaper, but we know that's not going to happen. And there's been talk that now the so-called "AI companies" will start using more CPUs as well, due to "per

Very weird that this is coming from Google, given that they made their phone platform specifically to not let you install your own operating system. And now, they're making it illegal to install custom apps too: https://keep

They're literally doing the opposite, right now you can't install a custom operating system, but in the near future you won't be able to install custom apps either: https://keepandroidopen.org/

I hate the missing home/end/pgup/pgdn keys more (which is the case on basically all laptops, and you obviously can't just buy a different keyboard for a laptop).

Pretty sure a power supply that just puts out 12V on USB-C without any negotiation is not in spec and should be illegal. As the article mentioned, it would damage anything that wasn't expecting 12V, like most things that take 5V USB po

I knew what video that was going to be before I clicked it. I highly recommend watching the whole series, including more cursed OSs created because windows booted slowly (?): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLec1d3OBbZ

Got one too for the same product, except the entire email is different (even the unsubscribe method!). They must be hallucinating a seperate email for everyone.

They tend to do that in the morning (UTC) for some reason.

There is also another Xbox Copilot missing (though it has been renamed, probably due it not being an "AI"): https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/accessib...

I would love to see devices with a non-destroyed (corners cut off, random hole for the front camera) screen.

I read somewhere that even for the "Copilot" things that supposedly run locally, windows needs to send a request to microsoft to confirm if your input is allowed by their rules.

Note that the 64-bit version is not open source. KolibriOS ( https://kolibrios.org/en ) is an active fork of the open source 32-bit version.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems to be an issue report claiming to be a PR? Where's the patch? Edit: there's actually a PR, but this is one of those repos where for some reason, they require every PR to have an ass
