So malware wasn’t enough, Windows wants to be a ransomware too?
Edit: I can already see it now. “Locked out of your files? For a small fee or our premium subscription, you can restore encrypted files that we lost.”

When can we start open sourcing cars?
I picked up an Onn 4k streaming Box from Walmart for $20 that uses Android TV. It supports Bluetooth for mouse and keyboard and with a usb hub can handle additional usb ports.
Also supports more advanced tinkering if you’d like to sideload apps such as SmartTubeNext for ad and sponsor blocking on YouTube.
I think you might also be able to load a third party launcher to de-google it more, but I haven’t tried that yet.
I mean that’s already happening at some big companies now.
Will it last? My guess is no, but they’ll enjoy saving the money that they would pay human beings in the mean time.
My hope is just that they’ll suffer losses due to a drop in product quality and start struggling, but let’s face it, the big tech companies are almost never the ones’ that are actually hurt by their decisions.
Ah I’ve used that too for my Windows machine though it didn’t occurred to me to try it for Linux. I also only just recently learned of Sunlight and was only using Moonlight with Nvidia’s gamestream.
I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks!
Gotcha, but even in that case, what’s convincing most of those average users from picking a different browser? The logo? “Ooh pretty lion?”
Yeah same. I was honestly surprised because I’m not the most advanced user of Linux but literally a few commands later, and boom. I don’t believe I even needed to reboot. Just logged out and back in, selecting plasma wayland from gdm.
Autologin seems much smoother, now I’m just waiting for krdp or something similar, unless there’s already another way to remotely login to desktop regardless of the remote client’s platform. I’m open to recommendations.
I was a bit confused too. So all that’s changed is a specific splash screen during new phone setup prompting the user to pick a default browser?
To each their own, I suppose. This has been my favorite tab management system I’ve used.
I haven’t used Vivaldi in years and only tried it for a short period at the time, but what features exactly are miles ahead or is it just the fact that Firefox requires a plugin to do some of what the competition has natively?
I can’t speak to that 100% but I do remember trying both (albeit briefly) and ultimately settling on Sidebery. Looking at the addons page, TST dev actually mentions Sidebery and a few others in their Developer Comments.
*Edit: It seems to imply that Sidebery is a tree addon with extra features. The most notable of which that sold me was the snapshots. I kept losing all my (~200) tabs if I closed Firefox improperly on my Macbook which was not fun.
Try Sideberry, tab grouping, renaming, dragging and dropping, snapshots, etc.
Thanks, I forgot about that.
Do you know if the smart doorbell is the same? Received one from the in-laws for Christmas but haven’t done anything yet.
What are you basing that off of??
Google is 2TB for $10/month.
$8.33/month with the annual plan.
At my work, I can be probably safely assume there is no such budget and in fact open source projects are actively used to create our own branded products (that may or may not be exclusively used internally).
You probably only need a few guesses at where I work.
True, of course the simplest and easiest solution is the one that takes the least amount of thinking and effort.
My only issue is there are brands that try to build around this but it’s incredibly difficult. I understand iPhones have some kind of smart charging that’s supposed to charge slowly but stop until it learns when it thinks you’ll need it and finish charging just before then. However, that relies on consistent data and consistent routine and I would think that could potentially be quite inaccurate if you have a more inconsistent routine. I don’t think I’ve seen a better implementation yet unfortunately.
It’s just become second nature to me to watch for and charge my phone so certain times. I feel like that’s just a part of owning a mobile device.
I’ve stopped charging my phone overnight which I typically advise people against but also keep a charger at my desk. My phone actually has a battery saver setting that cuts charging at 85%.
I invested in a usb-c game pad for my emulators.
not because they run poorly on emulators, but because your phone, monitors, Steam Deck, and TV are one horizontal screen.
Me looking at my half unfolded Galaxy Fold 5.
Say what you will about the foldables, but I enjoy my versatility.
You could say “I’m thirsty” and though not explicitly asking a question, someone might still offer you a beverage as a solution, for which you would probably be thankful.
