it depends if the one that’s tech savvy enough to prevent that it’s paid enough for his job, or if the money allocated for that went to fund the yacht holidays of some general

Try to run it on 4/8 gb RAM (officially supported configuration and many brand new laptops still are sold with 8gb soldered) and experience how worse is compared to w10

ChromeOS is going to the Google graveyard, to be replaced by android

(Maybe this is a good thing as Chromebooks have an expiration date averaging 3-5 years where they stop getting Chrome updates, when if it’s android can get updates to the browser for a much longer time AND have Firefox as default)

Wait, you forgot to mention the price, because if they do it for $1399 you’ll complain about it

Realize what? They’ll say “fucking Biden, look at the state he left the country”

fucking photobucket killed all the pics

(also the forum software should have allowed uploading pics even in 2004)

In the end I’m learning how everything works “behind the scenes” with a shock therapy (disclaimer: while I didn’t use Linux as my personal desktop, I have a decade of experience with Linux servers, otherwise this migration would have been impossible to understand for me)

I was expecting for example an easy toggle for dark mode instead needs to set several constants on the terminal (for GTK, for qt, and so on)

Everything needs one hour of searching but I’m documenting everything for future reference in a markdown file

And I had to set home as a git repository because otherwise a literal comma in a wrong spot would crash everything and I wouldn’t be able to revert it

For example I wanted to show the WiFi status on the taskbar (default doesn’t show) and I forgot a comma in the JSON configuration file. The taskbar (waybar) didn’t even start next time and I was presented with a completely empty wallpaper lol

Wait a moment. I always assumed that those were ironic xeets. It’s not a satire account???

Instead of buying a license for a game for $70 you subscribe to a rental service that gives you access to 500 games for $10/month.

Or, instead of buying a $500 console or a $800 PC you just buy a $60 controller and you stream those games running on “the cloud” (=someone else’s console) for $15/month

Problem is that the service is provided by Microsoft at a loss and when they’ll get enough critical mass, they’ll enshittify it.

The economic proposition is good, but I think it’s just to teach gamers that “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”

That data is independently researched or Samsung gave that to the EU and it’s published as-is?

Sorry I put it now

now they try to backtrack by giving another year of w10 updates if the user:

1. logs in with the microsoft account
2. enables backup to onedrive (presumably filling it so they can nag all the time “hey buy our cloud subscription”)
3. uses bing as default

question: if i’m using steam in linux under wine, it counts as windows or linux?

Set up automatic updates

You like to live dangerously, right?

You mean Teams or the other incompatible Teams, with the colors inverted on the icon?

Yesterday I installed cachyos and I was shocked to see that the 3gb install image was actually a net install and I couldn’t install it offline. I used my phone as hotspot thinking “how much data would download it anyway, maybe it just needs internet to do geo2ip for suggesting locale” (it actually does that) but instead it downloaded another 3gb

Fun fact: if Jeff bezos lost 90% of his wealth, he still would be a billionaire

Imagine a country, they spent billions over the last two centuries to build influence and they got to the top. Foreigners are willing to pay thousands of dollars for getting a degree in such country but no, let them go to a different country and get influenced by somebody else

Because it’s completely impossible to create a fake account that worship trump and has a lot of maga posts
