I have been using Linux since 2007. I have never had to update video drivers manually.

Sure, I don’t do gaming. But neither do most grandmothers.

That’ll be so handy because your system will break itself automatically!

Oops, missed that typo. Sorry I guess…

You see, parents are a motor to innovation. (/s)

Hopefully the patent runs out soon…

I have a Sony Reader PRS-350 since 2011 and honestly the battery life never has been great. It’s discharging too quickly when powered off and even faster when on standby.

As far as I know there’s a web interface to sort out all that kind of stuff.

I’m going to attempt moving to wg-easy on Docker which is supposed to be, you know, easy…

Look, I don’t mean to be disrespectful at all. I just wonder. And yes I do think that perhaps it would be nice to have more diversity in the kind of software that people develop. I just noticed there’s a flood of note taking apps and I wonder why this is. But ofc it’s up to the developers to decide what kind of software they want to work on, mostly sacrificing their free time. That being said I’m very thankful for everybody who’s developing useful foss software!

ANOTHER one?? Why tf are there SO MANY note taking apps for Linux?? I just don’t get it. They all do the same thing, more or less. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

To save them some more time: Wayland isn’t supported yet, unfortunately.

I had a similar issue on a new out of the box HP Prodesk. Independently of the distro I was running it wouldn’t want to wake up from standby. Turned out to be an (firmware?) issue with the SSD. After replacing it everything worked fine.

Sorry, aber dein Rahmengenummere macht das echt anstrengend zu lesen…

About a year ago I was lucky on eBay, winning an old Acer Switch Alpha 12 for ~95€ including shipping. I think it was released about 2016.

Even if it shows a lot of signs of wear, it is still a very good device. I received it with Windows 11, but of course I didn’t want use it like that. 4 gigs of ram aren’t enough for that anyway.

So I installed Fedora. (Had to rename the uefi boot entry for it to boot from disk. This is described elsewhere online but if you read this post and wonder how to do it, please dm me and I’ll be happy to help.)

Now this is my primary device for when I’m away from my desktop PC. Gnome is stunning on 2-in-1s IMO, much better than Windows would ever be.

Hardware wise everything works just fine out of the box, apart from the rear camera which isn’t recognized, but I wouldn’t use that anyway.

Honestly, the Switch Alpha 12 is the poor man’s MS Surface and I think it’s a shame that Acer has apparently given up on this device class. For now I’m happy to use this pc for as long as I can.

Sehr cool!

Sag mal, ist bei dir der Lautstärkeknopf auch so empfindlich? Ich habe das Gefühl, das Radio lässt sich deutlich lauter einstellen, als sinnvoll ist… Ist das vielleicht eine Alterserscheinung?

I use Recoleta (in the alternative version) for my personal stuff. I just like the look of it and it’s IMO good for both body text and headlines. I also like the slight 70s vintage style.

Wie praktisch! Ich überlege derzeit selbst, mir ein neues, größeres Bett zu holen und verfolge diesen Post mit entsprechendem Interesse!

Ist es denn wohl richtig, anzunehmen, dass die Testergebnisse sich einigermaßen auf 120er-/140er-Betten übertragen lassen?

Es dürfte mein Tandberg Portable 43 Radio sein.

Gebaut irgendwann in den 70er-Jahren, Made in Norway. Ein Freund von dort hat es mir im Zuge der dortigen UKW-Abschaltung überlassen. Ich halte es in Ehren!

Ist echt so. Wie ich Mitte letzten Jahres mein Konto bei der lokalen Volksbank zugemacht hab und zu einer Direktbank gewechselt bin hat mich die Dame in der Filiale schief angeguckt und gefragt, ob fünf Euro im Monat wirklich den Unterschied machen.

Fünf Euro im Monat sind sechzig im Jahr, davon kann ich einmal mehr im Jahr meine Freundin zum Essen einladen. Zudem ist die eine App der Direktbank um ein Vielfaches besser, als die drei Apps, die ich bei der Volksbank brauchte und ich kann zu allen Geldautomaten gebührenfrei gehen.

Und nein, ich brauche keine Filiale, die ich in fünf Jahren nicht besucht habe.

Especially, what are some modern examples of these, but from known brands. Not some shady off-brand “brand”?
