Adobe does anti-consumer shit. More at 11.

This argument is covered in the article.

After 30mins of inactivity my account locks and my screens blank. Few seconds after that my monitors go to standby. That’s it. I never shutdown unless something necessitates it and I only really reboot for updates if they require it. My PC basically stays on 24/7 and I’ve never had any issues. Current build has parts all the way back from 2015/2016 with no failures to speak of.

I think the point they’re getting at Is that you can’t use a self-hosted vpn to hide your piracy activity because the link is registered to yourself.

It actually is available on the website, but like most stores their mobile web experience isn’t great.

That actually made me laugh out loud. 😂

The Lowe’s app is actually really handy. You can look up any item and it will tell you the exact isle and bay it’s in for your store. No more wandering around or hunting for an employee to ask. It’s the only store app I actually keep on my phone.

I’ve been using screenfetch.

This is the first I’ve heard of the MIG. Seems like a good solution for making backups of games for safe keeping on my PC. I attempted to hack my switch a while back in order to dump my games for that exact reason but could never get it to work properly. Thanks for making me aware of this device, Nintendo!

Def not my cup of tea… It looks awful. But if they’re happy with it, that’s all that matters I suppose.

IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.

I dicked around with the VM route for a while and could never really get it working 100% to my liking. There was always a trade-off. I ended up just getting a second PC and tucking it in a cabinet out of sight. When I need Windows I just use remote desktop to connect to it.

Who is Will Biden?

On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.

Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.

It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.

Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)

SERIOUSLY. I’m currently stuck with an iPhone and was so annoyed when I found out you just couldn’t define the snooze duration. Like, what?

They have their uses. In particular they’re useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don’t have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they’re the best “third party” package system available but they’re not great.

App Images do suck, but I don’t think flatpak is much better. It’s more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn’t even in the conversation.
