Every time someone cries about hardware not being supported, you find out they didn’t care to look up compatibility. You can also ask the vendor, if you’re lost.
It’s like you buy a Diesel car and complain that it it’s annyoing because it breaks when you fill in gasoline.
My HDDs run 24/7 without spin up btw. I’m just talking about the costs. My drives don’t fail that much as yours. The recent drives that failed were WD Blue that were very old and only used for backups. And yes, all backups were still readable, even the drive was reported as failed. Compare it to SSDs that often fail “spectacularly”.
There is a lot of power to waste for the savings you made, when not buying expensive SSDs (20€ a year is not much). Where we use HDDs, we don’t care about noise. Durability? We use huge RAID systems with lots of redundancy.
I personally like to swap new drives after 5 years to avoid failures. So when you find a 16 TB SSD for 350€, you send me a message.
That’s why it’s also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.
Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can’t be, either.
Most antivaxxer think flu is a cold.
This doesn’t seem to be a problem with snap. Canonical probably tried to show vendors a way how to distribute software commercially. But vendors are on the level of cavemen and don’t know shit about Linux even after serving a solution. Or they simply don’t care about building up a market opportunity.
I don’t want to defend Ubuntu. I don’t like Ubuntu especially, but it might be a simple explanation.
Mariokart: “Am I a joke to you?”
The exact group which is officially declared as “evil” does not matter. Using a scapegoat is the point. Hiding complex problems and present “simple solutions”. People are scared of problems they cannot solve themselves. They want someone to solve them.
It was getting better after the circuit board came off. (also: gifs that end too soon)
Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it’s crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.
I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.
I read more about the case and it seems it’s not about the store itself. The real issue is that behind the stage Google makes individual contracts with companies. They agree about fees etc. This is really not fair.
I mostly use lightweight virtualization with containers and jails at home. I have one BHyVe VM, but I plan to eliminate virtualization completely. It’s a waste of resources for my setup.
That doesn’t make sense, because Android is quite open. You can literally download apps everywhere from the internet.
The only thing that you’re not allowed to do is to take advantage of the Google store and circumvent their microtransaction system. If you want to have own microtransactions, do it on yourself.
Many people have f-droid installed. And you can freely download Android apps from the internet and install them. Where is the anticompetitive behavior?
No wait. They should elect Putin, then invite him for a celebration.
Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI…
I’m a total newb when I use GUIs. I need max automation… I don’t really know how to do this. Also… I never had issues with drivers. And on Windows there is almost nothing installed. You need to install stuff by using a browser … horrible.
