They’re fine for certain things on an evolving menu etc, but not anything where a tactile sense might be needed to avoid distraction. A lack of volume knob is the thing that pisses me off the most in many vehicles, including my own.

Also, power should be a physical cutoff and NOT a soft button for head units. The one of my car is a software toggle and when the system started glitching, froze and also put out high volume noise with no way to kill it except to shut off the vehicle when I could safely do so

100% this. If they’re judging you based on your fucking phone, then THEY are not worth pursuing

I do but it’s certain circumstances where it make sense (on aircraft or when I’ve got a good pair of wired earbuds/headphones on me). Sometimes I use Bluetooth, sometimes wired but I appreciate having a CHOICE!

The common thing I’ve seen in more well -knowncases was the abuser striking up a relationship and pretending to be somebody younger, getting compromising details/photos from the victim, then threatening to release those to family/friends unless the victim follows their wishes (which often providing further sexual images/acts).

Not sure if that might be the case with a service like Omegle, but it was essentially what happened in the Amanda Todd case and other similar cases.

Funny, I was very much in camp NVidia until the RX480, which ran just fine. So did my Vega56, and my 6900 as well as numerous APU's (one was a bit annoying for overscan on the attached TV). No driver installs, just what came with the OS.

I've also got a tablet with an Intel Iris chipset that works fine with the in-kernel driver, and a laptop with an Nvidia chip that most of the time worked but periodically after a kernel update fails to output video requiring me to manually piss around with it and figure out why the stub didn't build properly.

Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you

Sounds like they probably last used AMD devices shortly after the ATI acquisition, and yeah for awhile the drivers were absolutely shyte (as they were with ATI).

The second possibility it's - as you mentioned -, running bleeding-edge (i.e. trying to run a video device just released). I got a 6900XT early when they came out and drivers were a bit finicky for maybe the first 1-2mo. I think I had to manually download the firmware files to get it running. However, I've had the same issues - or worse - with other vendors in that regard.

Apart from that, then anything in the last half decade shouldn't require any driver installs and minimum to no tinkering. It's all

I’ve had windows do this to me randomly before, especially if it’s an interface that comes up a bit late. Be careful that it doesn’t change back on you

I’ve tried to deal with several vendors regarding abusive domains and it’s pretty terrible in general. Everything is a webform with a generic responder - if any at all - and then weeks or months or nothing. Even domains impersonating proper commercial entities.

• GoDaddy: here’s the real domain, now here’s the domain registered via you, cloned from the real domain (including text, corporate logos, etc with some additional chinese crap) and being used for phishing/scams. Their response: “fill out this bullshit form that goes nowhere”
• CloudFlare: “uh, we don’t actually host the site (just the DNS and “protection” service that hides who does) sorry” Google: “we’ll continue showing the scam/phishing domain in top search results after your reports because apparently accurate search results aren’t actually our thing”

A good joystick or even gamepad can help a fair bit with the control. Keyboard sometimes felt… complicated

I hope the opposite, because I bloody hate how everything is a huge package. I don’t want to download a bunch of massive packaged apps just because one library needed to be updated, or have one packaged app with a persistent security flaws because - despite me updating the library in my system - it’s still running an older version.

I hate that shit doesn’t work because the monolithic container conflicts with local security policies (for example, when I couldn’t use separate browser profile directories).

Everything is huge now and while drives are bigger these apps are taking way more then their fair share

I hate running “mount” to see my partitions and seeing a dozen freaking snaps.

It may be a useful solution for a few key apps - similar to the “portable apps” on Windows but I don’t want everything to be a damn snap and personally wish I had more choice as to what was (but in make cases they’ve supplanted native packages entirely).
