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.”

My go to is Adele.

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.

I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking “hey wait a minute…”

100% agree. It’s one of those songs that if I hear it or think of it, I HAVE to look up the video and watch it all over again.

I barely try to explain my job to people today, particularly family.

OpenHIIT is a workout timer I’ve used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.

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?

Retarded Fuzz Ball. CHEESE.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!!!

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.

I just started using Konsole and so far it’s ticking all my boxes.

No, he’s thinking of Star Trek Bridge Crew.

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%.
