I feel like everybody is overlooking the fact that this person is getting an ad, to watch ads, after already paying for Premium.
And was a dancer. And was a competitive diver. And was a fencer (the stolen goods kind).
To your point, he honestly made me appreciate how actors have lives outside of the set.
You can tell that this is just a cash grab, as opposed to a technical or administrative motivation, by the mere fact that Simple/Select Choice plans will be migrated to Magenta, while Magenta plans will be migrated to Go5G. So Magenta isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
Also, of course, by the fact that you can opt out of the "upgrade."
I switched to T-Mobile a few years ago and, coming from AT&T, it had been hands-down a positive experience. More features, unlimited data, better customer service, better speeds, all for less than what I was paying AT&T. I even have a line or two that was added for free, no strings attached.
But then there were the many data breaches and the announcement they would add a surcharge for credit card payment. And now this.
Looks like I came on board just in time to witness the enshitification
Please tell me it fixes scaling issues on Wayland.
Uh oh
Was the next Dropbox breach due already? I forgot to set a reminder.
The --hold feature was introduced with snapd v2.58 which was released as recently as Dec 1, so less than 9 months ago. So I would consider this a relatively new feature.
Furthermore, as best as I can tell from the documentation, there isn't even a way to configurably hold updates in general or for a specific package like can be done with apt-preferences; refresh.hold only allows 90 days out.
I think it is a perfectly valid criticism that the snap developers didn't implement this feature at all until well into the life of the product and then, even then, done begrudgingly at best evidenced by the minimal implementation.
Now, I feel like I did my research, but feel free to let me know if there's something I can do better or if you have any other general life advice for me.
I loath Plex. A year or two ago I tried to switch to JellyFin but there was no app for my then 2-year-old LG TV but there was for new versions. Apparently that was too old, and that's just a natural manifestation of a non-commercial app.
Maybe I would have better luck with a Roku but it's hard to beat the integration of built-in apps.
It's unreasonable for FSD to see a train? ... that's 20ft tall and a mile long? Am I understanding you correctly?
Foolproof would be great, but I think most people would set the bar at least as high as not getting killed by a train.
In what way is it not ready to use?
To me it seems you just spent three paragraphs answering your own question.
can't even see 50 meters ahead
didn't understand what it was and how to react to it
FSD is not a finished product. It's under development
doesn't mean it's obvious to the AI
If I couldn't trust a system not to drive into a train, I don't feel like I would trust it to do even the most common tasks. I would drive the car like a fully attentive human and not delude myself into thinking the car is driving me with "FSD."
I get that the comment is almost surely circlejerk, but it is also honestly the only real answer to OP's question, isn't it? To switch OS?
So it's kind of hard to get mad at their comment when it's the only viable option. Is your problem with Linux or is it the fact that it brings you anxiety to know MS is in control of you? What if we substitute another OS for "Linux"? Does that make you feel any better?
I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk; these are honest questions. That's probably saying more than for OP, though; they, of course, knew the answer before they asked.
I used BlueProximity for a number of years and it was great.
It eventually became defunct, but that link appears to be a fork to bring it somewhat up to date. I have not tested this new version though since I work from home now.
Gentoo.
Gentoo helped or hindered me.
The infotainment system in my friend's truck would periodically get wonky and he would have to pull over, turn the truck off, wait a minute, then turn it back on.
We always joked that he had to do a Ctrl-Alt-Brake Pedal.
For most utilities (water, electricity), there's a relatively linear relationship between the tangible value provided (energy used, water dispensed) and the cost to provide it (coal burned, water sourced/treated). Even for wind- or hydro-powered electricity, the amount that everybody uses has a proportional amount of wear on the system and consequent required maintenance.
But not so much for ISPs. Instead, you're basically paying for a "fictional" amount (speed) of a non-tangible product. Granted, there is a linear relationship to the amount of electricity the ISP uses to provide each bit, but it's negligible.
Instead, what you're paying for with internet is essentially to recoup the fixed costs of the provider's equipment. They do need to upgrade every so often to accommodate more capacity and faster speeds, but this is proportional to speeds provided and not data volume used.
Completely true. And I would dictate my driving characteristics based on that fact.
I would drive at a speed and in a manner that would allow me to not almost crash into things. But especially trains.
In my experience, performance of snap apps is just abhorrent. The consume a huge amount of disk space and, whether it's due to that or not, they have extremely long load times.
Principles aside, this just makes them unusable for me. I use flatpak when there's no other option, but strive to use deb either natively or through PPA.
Is this the new GM infotainment system?
Yeah, I was scratching my head at that as well.
"Unfortunately"? Be careful, your wording makes it sound like you would rather people be legitimately punished for letting the flag touch the ground or disposing of it improperly.
I tried interpreting your comment in different ways and hope what you intended to say is that it's unfortunate that he is the kind of crass person that would abuse this important freedom.
But it's important for us to make a distinction between those that exercise a freedom and those that abuse a freedom. We should be free to criticize or ridicule those in the latter group for the same reason that they are free to abuse it.
Why do you say "drive(s)"? Is this or similar happening with more than one drive?
If the other drives are working fine, then you might already have your answer. If they're not, it sounds like the enclosure.
If you think it's drive, try putting it in the freezer for an hour to see if anything changes. It wouldn't be a permanent fix but, if the problem temporarily goes away, it'll make clear that the problem is the drive, possibly due to add solder joints.
Upvote for FF.
I've heard that exact sound used on some computers (lottery maybe?) in gas stations in the US. I'm not sure why they picked that exact sound, but it's definitely distinct and recognizable.

Try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before trying to read the data. Or heat it up slightly.
This is an old trick I've used to recover data from a hard drive or two. I suppose it could help if the problem with the SD is some kind of microscopic fractures.
It should be emphasized that this is just a temporary workaround at best.
I suspect what they meant was copy and paste from the console and not a terminal.
I don't know how else somebody could do copy and paste at the console. And I don't necessarily know that tmux can do this (I still haven't graduated from 'screen'), but this interpretation makes the most sense.
If it can do this, presumably with just the keyboard, that's a pretty decent feature.
Ah, okay. That makes sense.
I think this satire whooshed most everybody who replied.
The Turris Omnia is an open, powerful router that comes with OpenWRT.
Turris adds an additional UI and features beyond that, but the OpenWRT UI is still available and the stock firmware can be completely replaced with OpenWRT if so desired.
It's a bit pricey but has great specs (1.6 GHz dual core, 2GB RAM, 8GB eMMC) and is an excellent device for tinkerers with headers exposing UART, JTAG, GPIO, and more. It has three internal mPCIe ports as well.
I am not affiliated with Turris but just happened to stumble upon a new one at a garage sale a couple of days ago. Lucky find and I'm excited.
My C.H.I.P is still rocking in a special project sitting on my desk.
For those that don't know, it is like a RPi but smaller, cheaper (originally $9), more I/O, and had WiFi & Bluetooth (whereas the RPi2 of the time didn't). DIPs (aka hats) were available giving HDMI, VGA, and other capabilities including the PocketCHIP which turned it into a handheld computer by providing a display, button-keyboard, and battery.
While the project is now defunct, kept alive only by the community, there was an attempt to resurrect it in concept and form-factor as the Popcorn Computer on Kickstarter. But that one didn't fund so, alas, it is now an endangered species.

I should have been more specific. I was hoping this fixes an issue with LO not scaling correctly when using multiple screens with different scaling factors. Unfortunately this is still an issue.
The console is the virtual terminal (VT) seen initially at boot before the desktop login starts up, or where you land if there is no desktop, and where the kernel spits its raw output. It could even be configured to be a physical serial port.
I'm using the term in a similar manner to describe the virtual terminals spawned at boot (typically 7 of them) and occupied either by a login prompt (getty) or the desktop session, and switchable with Alt-Left/Right or using the chvt command. These are analogous to the real terminals of old such as VT100 or even typewriters.
This is in contrast to what we normally call a terminal like xterm or Konsole which runs in the GUI where it is resizable, zoomable, etc. The console, and virtual terminals, are pretty limited in the interactivity they have. For instance, there's no mouse interaction or copy-paste functionality, at least not without some exotic setup.
*edit: replied to wrong comment
Gen 10 checking in, still works flawlessly.
You can't beat the ease of firmware updates either. lvfs/fwupdmgr take care of updates for both my laptop and Lenovo TB4 docking station.
