Jeez, are they still using mail pigeons?

Because having more ticked boxes than the competition sells. Doesn’t matter if it’s of any relevance.

Jeez, next time just use a knife my dude.

Your typical bike dynamo puts out 6V AC. I bet yours does as well, so that diode sounds like a good idea.

They made it free so they could sell courses and consultancy hours. Can’t do that if it’s all straightforward. It’s the death star of complexity.

But more importantly, e-bikes are supposed to have a speed limiter set to 25km/h anyway.

And then a DBA comes in

I’m convinced that’s a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I’ve never encountered one.

Hmm, I’m fewer sure of that.

It’s the sum total. SSD’s would have become the success they are today if it were localized.

Can confirm, have a cat and don’t have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.

Even LibreOffice can only recover what has been saved. And if autosave is off, there might be less to recover than desirable. Again, that’s a UXD problem.

That’s why I lock my machine before walking away. That’s <windows key> + L for those who don’t know.

Btw automatically saving is a generally undesirable feature as it could reduce the lifetime of ssds, slowdown the system if the file Is big or stored on slow media like network.

I don’t know what kind of files you write regularly, but even the smallest and cheapest PCIe 3.0 NVMe drive can store data at 600 megabytes per second or more. That’s plenty fast enough for my office documents at least. And you can rewrite the entire contents of the drive a hundred times or more before it fails. So I wouldn’t lose any sleep over having autosave on.

Eventually people will have to get new hardware. That’s the moment to avoid nVidia, that’s how simple this can be.

Also, the problem is nVidia giving shitty Wayland support, not Wayland providing no nVidia support. It’s nVidia who has to write the drivers since they themselves opted to keep their implementation details a secret. There’s nothing the Wayland people can do except plea, beg and shame. If nVidia then decide not to care, then I say fuck them.

The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the “climate change is of all times, it’s not caused by us” talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is “yes, we caused it but it’s not a big deal”.

That’s correct. It’s not just limited to computers or only two devices though.

I disagree that it is bad design. It’s cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.

If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.

And if you plan on trying different distributions, use Ventoy. It will create a bootable USB memory stick that you can copy your various ISO files to. When booting from it, you can then select which ISO to boot. Saves you from overwriting the same memory stick time and time again. Or having multiple memory sticks, one for each ISO.

Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That’s much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.
