It’s the carrier’s phone, not yours. That’s how they offer such low prices.

What is a Trillium?

It’s usually the electronic drivers. They overoverheat and degrade. Most burned LED bulbs still have working LEDs and just need to replace some component of the driver board.

They still do. But projects like bluefin are striving to get rid of it entirely. Flatpak installation is not package management, they are containerized applications.

Only if you have the power to do so.

The package manager way of delivering distro management, updates and upgrades is an archaic and dumb idea. Doomed to fail since inception and the reason Linux never broke the 1% of users in forever. It’s a bad model.

Atomic and immutable distribution of an OS is the preferred and successful model for the average user who wants a PC to be a tool and not a hobby on itself. I don’t think the traditional package manager will ever go away. But there are alternatives now.

Bluesky was an EEE operation. Meant to kill federation by capturing users then forcing an instance monopoly. That’s why it is federated on paper only. In practice no engineering was done to make it actually federated at all. Now they’re far behind the Activity pub and mastodon, and the rest of the fediverse despite having much more investment.

Most common TV mistakes:

• The TV should sit at eye level. Most people install TVs way too high which makes it uncomfortable to watch.
• The size of the TV depends on how far away you are seating from it. Most people can’t afford a large enough screen or mistakenly sit way too far.
• Finally, disable all the common fancy anti-features that smart TVs have. Like motion smoothing, noise reduction, automatic luminance and contrast, among others. This is the one that makes TVs look fake. Known as the soap opera effect. And it can also make great detail and film grain (specially on 4k) turn into an ugly playdoh like texture, turning actor’s faces into plastic.

Ableist, racist white supremacist doing their ableist-racist-white-supremacist thing.

Only for OneDrive. SharePoint documents lock excel tables and only one person can edit at a time. Though multiple instances can see and update the changes as the locked version is updated. Something about credentials.

How, exactly, should you have seen this coming? Elaborate on your thoughts.

You think calling someone autistic is an insult?

No I can’t guarantee it, and neither does Microsoft, Windows, nor any of the software you have ever used, for work or not. Read the TOS. You are given nothing, and all software, no matter how much you pay is “provided as is”. Which means they deny responsibility for bugs or misbehavior of their code. MS corporate contracts don’t sell guarantees, they sell support when something eventually goes wrong. They never promise the software will always 100% work because it opens them to legal liability. OneDrive, to keep the discussion on topic, doesn’t guarantee availability of your files, or their integrity, and even makes you agree to not sue them even if you lose all your data.

Because online harassment exists.

Installing a new OS is not a hassle at all on this day and age. If you can click buttons with a mouse and read at least at a 6th grade level to follow instructions, you can install an OS.

Sad to see. I took the free online version of the course a few years ago. It was really well organized. Although it faltered near the last classes (excessive focus on web site application) it was undoubtedly the best introductory course available for free on the web and perhaps even better than most paid ones. I do wish we could find out who was the secret donor, not to berate them, just to say thanks.

If you’re encrypting and scrambling your own personal data and not properly saving the keys, that L is on you dog.

Always remember that in some places executive just means the dumbest person in the room and most developers won’t lift a finger if it means they get to see the owners embarrassing themselves in public.

Ms 365 just assumes that your company has a Ms azure cloud solution, exchange server or just defaults to onedrive. You have to wrestle the software into giving you a local storage folder browser when picking the place to save a new document to. It’s frustrating.

I’ve tried it. I like that they’re carrying the torch of OpenBoard, but I don’t like that swipe typing requires manually downloading a third party library.
