Jokes on you buddy, I've ditched my HP printers because of this nonsense. They literally locked me out of a printer all of a sudden after an update, deciding my cartridge bought from HP was no longer valid. Not to mention, just sitting there the inks use themselves up, I'm guessing just drying out from crappy design.

Same as you, in IT forever, ...I switched, and I'm never going back. It's fast, and it's brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.

Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there's obviously another motive here...sweet user behavior data?

I've been a customer for decades, including large format, and my newish HP is waiting to be recycled. It's print quality wasn't great, and the HP ink I bought that worked well for months stopped working due to what must be a chip error. Who has time for that nonsense? I won't even sell it, I don't want to push the misery on someone else.

If you use vscode, you might look at the thunderclient extension.

Queen, news of the world tour, opening with "we will rock you". Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.

Thanks, can we also kill off copilot before it arrives uninvited?

It's because out of the box there's often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it's been fine ever since then.

Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It's been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it's all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining "feature" update, I really doubt I'll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I'm just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.

Pwobably

I tried this out and it's a good launcher once configured, but it's time to look for a new one now. Msft is working hard to lose long time customers.

An old I Love Lucy episode comes to mind, it's got to be tough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZV40f0cXF4

Click bait, designed to rage engage, don't fall for it

Apple only, anything for the droid?

Both are bloated, but I'll take flatpaks, as snaps have given me a lot of problems on multiple machines. I now just remove it entirely.

Beef would be much more expensive if not for the huge subsidies, it's artificially cheap. Maybe we just stop doing that and see how it goes.

My guess is a credit card reader

You might try "new"..."hot is specifically for upvoted content.

Given 103 million viewers last year, I wouldn't call this a "great opportunity" to win either...unless you are running the sweepstakes, then it's creating a mailing list goldmine.

Yes, the confusion that results when things don't work because of isolation.

I remember Dell had an option back in 2013 on the XPS laptops...

Pushing "machine learning" as "beneficial AI" appears to be a ploy to build profiles of everyone using all the data that can possibly be gathered up about them. The claims will be for better ads and better experiences, but the reality will be something quite different.

Thanks for this! SearXNG is great, and took just a few minutes to spin up the Docker container.

I played the games. I think the show's sets and designs are good, but I can't get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.

Looks like a tug or two is in use...maybe that should be required from now on for areas where a screw up can take out major infrastructure?

Annoy and Stay Resident...like a lot of apps that can't be removed, where data can't be deleted, and the the app only disabled.

Aren't these ships so slow to turn and stop, that most entries into ports and narrows require tugboats? With such valuable cargo as well, wouldn't insurance companies also?

Bixby sad now

Thanks to you, cinnamon toast cocktails are a thing I have just now learned about

FYI...It looks like they are doing the "explore your discovery queue and earn a card" thing, but at least for me the new PC client doesn't let you know you have a new item in your inventory.

Same here on a lower end Samsung, it's fine. IMHO I also think if people flock to apps for just a UI, it can take away some of the motivation to improve a site.

Thanks for spamming new by posting this so many times at once

Consider that what we read online as news is becoming close to 50% generated or created by bots. Dipping in now and then, but mostly avoiding doesn't seem an unreasonable approach, and breaks the dopamine machine.

They "can't even do tables"!!!
