Doom 2016 plays well on almost anything. It was the beginning of the self scaling graphics and rendering to maintain high frame rates.

Same monitor, just rotate it.

Same but different. The site sold out and made some changes that were good for investors, but bad for users. It also happened to slashdot. When that went bad, we all went to digg.

Looking back, I'm surprised reddit lasted as long as it did. Digg and slashdot still exist, but aren't what they were in their heyday. I'm sure reddit will continue in some form.

The device manufacturers have to send the driver to Microsoft to get them signed. Windows needs some sort of drivers available out of the box. Might as well keep them up to date with the signed versions.

It's been this way for some device types for at least 20 years.

I'm some ways yes, in others no.

They've been slowly removing power user things that once set Android apart from Apple. For example, a few versions ago, they stopped allowing apps to disable WiFi. I liked having it off when away from home.

Th Galaxy S5 and the Active versions before it were waterproof and had a removable back to get to the replaceable battery pack.

As an added bonus, the back had a rough, soft plastic surface so you could actually hold onto it without a case.

It was early in wireless charging, but the back could be replaced with one that haf the charging coil.

I think the didn't have a full time HR until recently.

From the picture, it's just the context menu key with a new key cap.

Is the windows partition is still there? You may be able to use one of the repair options from the install media to re-add windows to EFI instead of a full reinstall.

The kernel has drivers for very old hardware. It was news last year when support was dropped for i486. That is a 25 year old CPU.

Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

Post Quantum Cryptography

Except they can be hosted by the person/company making the software. This always seemed more trustworthy than AUR to me.

Of course there are also community PPAs that would need the same scrutiny as AUR packages.

I think a more important difference is that Apple isn't involved in the transfer of the card from one person to another.

It sounds like Roblox is involved in each transfer and could cut off access to the third party site once they find out it is actually a gambling site.

I had a couple crashes.

It might have something to do with the update haveing changes that require Lemmy 0.18 and Beehaw is still running 0.17.4.

I assume they're waiting for the 0.18.1 version that restores support for captchas.

Isn't that good though? What's left to add? I don't want another UI change just because.

Welcome to the Garmin Vivosmart family. 😀

I think it offers not having to know enough about each of those pieces to pick one of each and set them up.

Would Truenas fit as immutable? I guess it doesn't stop you from changing things, but doing so might break the next update.

Configuration can be exported. Disaster resolution of fresh install and restore configuration has worked for me. No data loss and even the Virtual Machines started right back up.

I'd go for remoting in as not root as the first (and maybe only) step for better security.

From there, running the services in VMs would probably be the next step. Docker might be better, but I have gotten into that yet myself.

As for hypervisor, KVM has worked great for me.

Competitive (professional) gamers?

Seems there are diminishing returns, but at least some gains are measurable at 360.

Maybe true for just dumping you into it unexpectedly, but once you do know how to use it, it is a much safer interface.

I much prefer having the podcast or music app integrated into the map interface with big buttons. The alternative is spending a lot more time with eyes off the road to switch apps and hit small buttons.

If I need to get to the normal interface when stopped, it is just a swipe away.

Everyone trying to reuse names...

Starfield as a mod for Kerbal Space Program.

Phones are not like computers (unfortunately).

Others mentioned, but I wanted to point this out more specifically. Each phone model is unique and will require a different ROM. Generic instructions won't work. Sometimes different ROMs are even need for carrier specific versions of the same model.

It is being discussed because we're in the middle of the transition from X to Wayland. Before there wasn't much discussion. In a few years when it settles out there probably won't be much discussion.

Windows and Mac have never had a choice. There might have been significant changes to a window manager layer, but it would have been part of a larger version upgrade. Like between windows 3.1 and 95 or OS 9 to OS X. The visible changes would be closer to desktop environment like KDE and Gnome in Linux.

Could we call it a "sandbox" if each game is in it's own wine prefix?

It is amazing how long a phone lasts without many apps installed. I put Lineage with gapps on my old pixel 3 and didn't install much. I think it would last a couple weeks if I just changed it up and left it alone.

Windows 10's end of support is October 2025. I wouldn't use an OS on the internet after security updates stop.

Is it on a network share? Excel has sharing support built in. When turning on sharing, there is an option to auto save and reload at a specific interval. It will also keep a history of changes for a configurable number of days.

Some of the dialogue is sort of a cut scene. Pressing escape skips the current statement. This is good for when you've already heard it, but bad for pausing in the middle.

On low, but pretty well.

Are you managing it for yourself?

I've been using it for a long time and haven't needed to do anything with family link.

There is no passcode, but it does support daily timers per app. I haven't used that in a while, but do use focus mode to disable apps during work hours.

Maybe these features are still only in the beta version even after years of being in beta.

I've been pretty happy with the Garmin Vivosmart line.

Which instance is that? The only one I see seems empty.

There was a payment app (maybe wallet?). Then they killed it and forced everyone to Pay. It was terrible, and everyone hated it. They gave up on that and brought back Wallet. They are now ending Pay. This is a good thing.

But dust puppy was cute.

I thought they got rid of that years ago. I used it for a bit after they killed Android Auto.

HP actively supports their printers in Linux. Debian 12 is not listed though, only 11.

Edit: Added the bit about Debian 12
