You seem to ignore the fact that changes take time. There are entire governments in the EU with workflows built around Microsoft products that have no real 1:1 alternatives. If a governmental procedure stipulates that a ministry uses Window

Anyone not in the US feels this even more since so much online is US hosted, 300ms for every little interaction adds up quick. Don’t know about that, pretty much everything is hosted on Cloudflare, Azure or S3 these days and all of them h

RIP, every once in a while I rewatch the segment in Computer Chronicles where he attempted to take apart an IBM PS/2, one of the funniest things ever.

No problem, glad that got sorted out :)

I have a question: It seems that all the preview PNGs and the WSZ files themselves are fetched from hxxp://webampskins.org. When I go to that website directly, I get redirected to some shady looking website pushing crypto and gamb

I got used to that one, but the other day I was checking Outlook in the web browser and I ended up on outlook.cloud.microsoft , I couldn't believe my eyes.

While I get your point, I can't think of a free email service that wouldn't also be a gate to other products. Whether it's Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc. you always get an "account" as well, something that connects

QR codes are used in direct account-to-account transactions. They encode all the data like the IBAN-based account number, bank code, requested sum etc. that you may find on invoices in a way that’s much more convenient than typing over by h

Awesome, this must be a recent thing, when I last checked about a year ago the latest drivers from restricted were a couple versions behind. Many people always complained about it on reddit, AskUbuntu etc, which is where I found out about t

I’m curious about proprietary Nvidia drivers. Ubuntu normally comes with fairly outdated, if not obsolete ones, but there’s a semi-official PPA with more recent versions. How does Debian handle this?

Thinking about it, I probably wouldn't remember to change my fingerprints to the new ones with all the services I use, I'd probably have to carry my "legacy fingerprints" wherever I go for some time to avoid a lockout.

You put your child in the driver’s seat and expect others to make sure it doesn’t make a wrong turn? Did you really have to give it the keys to this hypothetical car instead of, say, LEGO?

I have the exact same problem, except it affects my cheapo keyboard. Almost every time I move from my desk, the Num/Caps/Scroll Lock LEDs flash up as the controller restarts. And since it's a PS/2 model, if I'm hold

And they say Linux is inconvenient because you have to open the terminal every once in a while.

Pretty sure that for Meta the impossibility to moderate E2EE was the point. It’s cheaper to shrug than pay content moderators.

I'm curious if this would really be considered unlawful access, since only pure idiocy and no hacking/scamming/etc were involved.

You have a point, I've seen a fair share of Github projects where they asked you to join their Discord if you wanted documentation/support/tips etc.

Wouldn't it also be a performance nightmare? The energy bill for scanning through the terabytes of metadata would be comparable to that of several months of AI training, not to mention the time it would take. Then deleting a few millio

Do you mean that new action button thingy above the volume controls? You can reassign to perform something else in the settings. Only a few options to choose from, but it's totally possible. As for powering off, you can tap the ⏻ symbo

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. You could always edit system files with notepad, that was something that the program always excelled at thanks to its simplicity in both how it looked and behaved. And i fail to see the n

No matter how open source something is, as long as you can only run it on a non-rooted Google or Apple device, and it’s hardcoded with remote attestation features exclusive to these two platforms, it suddenly isn’t much better than a bro as

I don't imagine this was a 100% their decision, it's more like a response to the epidemic of all the world's governments suddenly coming up with adult verification schemes. Discord has already required it in some countries, a

I tried using Hotmail as my primary for a while a few years ago and I've never seen more legitimate mail being entirely dropped with no explanation. It would never reach the inbox, it wouldn't be in the junk folder, it was as if t

That's right, and Microsoft Authenticator isn't.

Pretty sure the same applies to all the passwords/passkeys/2FA codes stored in the Authenticator app with cloud backup on.

Pretty much all the Renderware based GTAs have issues these days that only community made patches can mitigate. A recent example is that in San Andreas, the seaplane never spawns if you're running Windows 11 24H2 or newer. All of it du

I think you're mixing monitors and TVs together. CRT TVs only supported vertical refresh rates of 50Hz or 60Hz, which matched the regional mains frequency. They used interlacing and technically only showed half the frame at a time, but

That wouldn’t seem so much out of the ordinary, long-term thinking CEO is an oxymoron these days.
