The device is being used in America against citizens. It is 80 year old tech. As reported by unesco

Well maybe they should receive praise for changing their mind. I get your point but they could have doubled down.

Because that was the point.

Use Rufus it'll disable hardware requirements, without hassle. You will need an iso. If you know someone with 11 have them download it. Otherwise download the generic.

Looks like that's a response to Linus and Linux community saying that Qualcomm chips I weren't able to run Linux what hey it's good though at least now there's internal support

If I were 20 I'd agree. Dark mode is better on the eyes

I love KDE connect. After install I turn off things I don't want, but I have options. Works better than any similar app. Connects essentially and system. I pair it with tail scale or zero-tier depending on needs. Multiboot, all major os's mobile. PC, Mac all have ports. It's under rated

Schizophrenia is genetic. So you're born with it. This makes zero sense. Maybe you mean shizo-effective which usually has to do with traumas.

You'd be surprised at what you find during moving season. Chinese students for example can't import laptops back home, plus they've had a taste of freedom and can't let them be scanned. In my spare time one summer I was making like $40 an hour with a full time job. $4000 handbag can't be travelled with, sold. Etc

New comment by damion6 in "The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source"

Yes, yes I can. Also does most of everything. WSL has severe issues with hardware translation.

If your at work, it's probably a Windows shop. Use windows. At home you can chance a bad update, and probably also have access to windows. Can always use a VM, wine is great in some cases, like WSL. Both don't meet every use case.

Great they can stop killing people. Only place I ever worked where the ambulances came 1-5 times a day to save the old people they abuse

I think he did well. Seemed thoughtful, can't expect him to totally buck the system. But he got it moving along again.

Seems like an unfair advantage in a market they control. Exercising monopolistic control

It'd be nice if folks stopped using a religion as a catch phrase. If I included Jesus in a catchy title people would be offended

The only issue I had was minor and had to do with updating and breaking my system. That was easily solved with one command after update so script. That issue was just fixed.
