Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

Looks like we’re finally able to use the mech!

Did it covered by warranty though? I’m probably ok with the foldable screen cracking every once in a while as long as the warranty fully covers it every time it happens.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. Not everyone will switch to Linux, but those who do must be introduced to it somehow. My first experience with Linux 18 years ago was very painful yet I eventually made the switch a few years later.

Let him go back to Windows. You already planted the idea of using Linux in his head. Next time he gets tired of windows for any reason, he knows there is an alternative and he’ll consider switching to Linux on his own.

Generally yes, but keep in mind that apt packages are maintained by canonical, while snap packages could be maintained by canonical, the apps’ original developers themselves (e.g. Firefox snap is maintained by Mozilla), or a 3rd party unrelated to canonical or the app’s developer (i.e. random dudes packaging apps into snap and submit them). If the snap packages are not maintained by canonical, there is nothing stopping the snap packagers to use a different versioning scheme, though it’s unlikely. In general, it’s a good idea to check the package entry on snapcraft.io to figure out who packaged them so you can decide if it’s trustworthy or not.

Transreflective lcd doesn’t look great though, especially when viewed at angles, or when the room is bright enough to light the reflective layer but dark enough to require the backlight.

Ah sorry, I got it backward. Nvidia is dragging their asses on implementing “implicit” sync, so Wayland devs and nvidia ended up with a compromise and implemented the explicit sync protocol. IMO it’s just another example of Nvidia doing whatever they please and forcing everyone to do it their way or highway.

Unlike AMD and Intel, they don’t get along with the open source community well and generally do whatever they please, which is why they earned the ire of many linux developers. For example, they’re really dragging their asses with implementing explicit sync.

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it’s not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they’re playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.

How long until we get Microsoft teams up with Mountain Dew to release xbox verification cans 2FA devices?

Heck, Japanese manufacturers even sell $15K EVs in Japan (e.g. Nissan Sakura) but they don’t seem to be interested in selling them elsewhere.

Are you living in the same country as those that complain about ads in windows? From what I understand, this is not rolled out globally yet.

Microsoft always treated linux and foss with such disdain while under Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Their current CEO is an outlier, openly embracing and extending foss and linux. After years of abuses from Gates and Ballmer, many people in the linux community won’t be so quick to trust them.

Big corps love A/B testing, slow rollouts and geo-restricted features. You might be in a different group than people that get all these ads.

Just turn off “show scores” in your profile and you’ll be happier. It’s a meaningless number anyway.

I highly doubt phone companies would astroturf on lemmy though.

You’ll be able to lock the screen of your phone with just your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device. This buys you time to recover your account details and access additional helpful options in Find My Device, including sending a full factory reset command to completely wipe the device.

Does this mean I can troll my friends by locking their phone while they’re using their phone?
