I went through all of these, and honestly plugging in a single cable into your laptop and having power, external display, network and input peripherals all connect instantly is pretty damn cool.

It was like 20 years ago, but their sidewinder brand was pretty great, as was the intellimouse.

The point is also to minimize potential damages caused by a bug in the software. Just this year there have been multiple data-destroying bugs in publicly released software. If the app runs as a server it’s usually trivial to have it run as a dedicated user, with just enough permissions to do its job.

It’s just good practice, even though the risks might be low why risk it at all?

LineageOS supports Chromecast with Android TV, haven’t tried it myself though.

I read your comment before the article and I thought you had made the second quote up lol, unbelievable. And people are throwing money at these guys?

OK so this is most likely by design, impressive.

Does the timer “jump” to the correct time after you dismiss the window ? It’s also possible that they didn’t bother testing the app when logged out, and that the popup blocks the UI thread while it’s displayed. In short it could be bad coding and QA instead of intentional enshittification.

That’s because he planted a backdoor into GIT, and now he reviews your bad commits every night.

Same as Windows and MacOS, really. You can follow best practices and conventions, or just install your software wherever you want.

Not sure about US companies, but I’ve never seen an AC plug on European and Asian companies’ airplanes. They do have USB ports but they’re underpowered (barely enough to keep my battery at the same level while playing music on BT headphones) or straight up don’t work. Ask a flight attendant in the latter case, they’ll reboot your screen which might fix the issue.

Yes the Steam deck FS is ext4.

Why ext2 on Void?

Usually the merch stand is still open after the show, so I buy mine just before leaving.

It works on all platforms, I work on mobile apps so I have quite a few Androids and iPhones, as well as a linux laptop and a Mac mini. It works seamlessly between all of those.

How so? The devices page on the wiki lists 171 officially supported devices. I’m writing this comment on a Poco F3 running the official LineageOS 21 release…

Yes that’s the case under GNOME, KDE and sway.

If you’ve got a switch gathering dust and have no interest in using it for gaming again (e.g. if you’ve got a steam deck), it’s nice to have the option to convert it to an Android tablet for the multitude of use cases the stock OS doesn’t support: streaming, a proper web browser, chat apps, …

Works great on my laptop. It takes automatic snapshots before and after running the package manager, no problem so far.

Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?

It’s not new, it started when they released GNOME 3.
