  • Google keep used to (don't use it anymore) store your notes "backed up" by email. You could view all your notes in gmail.

    Maybe it was something like that?

  • Depends. If someone is gaming with new hardware, don't use a distro that doesn't update the kernel quickly and regularly.

    Almost every problem with hardware on mint is solved by going through the process of updating the kernel or switching to a distro with up to date libraries.

    It's fine for a lot of people, but it doesn't "just work" outside of the use case of only browsing the internet and word documents.

    This is coming from someone who used mint for 4 years. There was about a dozen times where the software on the software center was so out of date that it simply didn't work and I had to resort often to using random ppa's which often broke other things. Definitely not user friendly.

    That being said, Cinnamon is probably one of the most user friendly DEs for people switching from window. It is very nice.

  • The steam controller is absolutely my favorite shape and feel for the controller.

    The one big flaw is the plastic bumper mechanism that has broken on 3 of my units, 1 I was able to send back, 1 replaced with PETG 3D printed part which is less clicky, but more durable, and 1 still intact.

    Still, I have exclusively used those for years when not playing on Switch

  • People have hit on most of them here, but here is another big one:

    Fitness apps. Mainly calorie tracking, workout tracking and heart rate tracking

    Health app

    Sleep as Android

    (No, gadget bridge is not a replacement for 99% of cases and doesn't even support the gold standard for heart rate tracking, polar H10)

    For calorie tracking, the massive food databases required, barcode scanning, and crowd sourcing are generally not compatible with the open source community's privacy ideals. OpenNutriTracker has promise though!

    For workout tracking, none of them have any device support and most of them are dead and abandoned. Not to mention heart rate zones, stats and training trends, etc... FitoTrack and Opentracks are good starts though.

    And then a google fit alternative. Something that can integrate sleeping, workouts, heart rates, sensors, etc.. Data all in one aggregates place. It is a huge task and it makes sense that there is no open source alternative for it. Especially when the components aren't individually there to aggregate.

  • Title of the book? I am looking for some fantasy or sci fi to read.

    Or I guess that might be doxxing yourself...

  • Starter playing "To the moon"

    Great game so far, but I wish there was controller support and it could be fullscreen instead of a small box. It makes playing on the 32" TV difficult

  • Opensuse Kalpa KDE Wayland the internet access blocked and it is a terrorist org if you want a hug 😅 sorry it has been very busy

    • Heliboard english

    Dutch doesn't autocomplete sentences, just spellcheck

  • He means weeks, not days

  • Sadly it doesn't work almost at all with the *arr suite even with flaresolverr.

    I have had to move mainly to the small private tracker and knaben because torrentgalaxy and 1337x both stopped working in prowlarr because they had to up their bot fighting game...

  • Does inkscape have diagram connecting? One of the best draw.io features is the wide array of premade shapes, styles, and auto connecting for flow visualization

  • I will go out on a limb and say FreeCAD and KiCAD specifically in examples. Right now you have to search forum posts and videos to find out how to make something work and it is always an older version completely irrelevant to the current version.

    For other things that need note basic general and setup documentation:

    Traefik: It is only decodable to experienced people right now. I tried about 15 tutorials a few years ago and SmartHomeBeginner was the only one that actually was able to connect to the internet and didn't "rest of the fucking owl" it

    Authelia could also use some documentation updates specifically around the area of integrations.

    Libopencm3 also could use some more complete documentation instead of basic API descriptions, but the project is not very active anymore

    Opensuse Aeon and Kalpa could also use some documentation love, especially Kalpa.

  • But exactly, that is the difference between a drill and spinning sharp metal at high speeds.

    If a drill breaks, it isn't going to send shards of metal-cutting fiber disc 20 meters per second at your face.

    If a saw sucks ass like the one I used a few days ago, you can't safely cut through wood and you end up doing dangerous things like putting your body weight on the top of the miter saw to get it down all the way, gripping the piece closer to the blade to try to get it to cut better with less tear out or to not slip, etc... which can easily lead to a finger being cut off. It is MUCH more expensive in the US especially to have to deal with a dismembered finger than the cost difference between a chinese amazon $100 miter saw and $200 entry level 10 inch dewalt.

    There are a ton of people who can't afford that. That is fine. Then spend $100 on good quality assorted hand saws. a $40 japanese pull saw, $30 for a Spear & Jackson hand saw, $40 for a pair of bacco chisels, and an angle cut box and you can do a lot more than that $100 miter saw much more safely at the cost of it being at half the speed.

  • Sorry, but this only applies to drills and sanding machines. Maybe a bench grinder also you can cheap out on. Hand tools are fine to cheap out on also.

    Circular saw, table saws, miter saws, angle grinders, etc..

    Any spinning blade, if you cheap out, don't be surprised if you get life-alteringly injured when you "use it enough to break it". I was just helping some friends renovate where they had a dirt cheap miter saw and it was just about the most dangerous experience of my life.

    If you are doing any big renovations, at least get makita, Milwaukee, or dewalt. You can get a TON of cheaper stuff second hand. Quality at a lower price. I got a professional older model hilti hammer drill at a tiny fraction of the price.

  • Miele C3 Complete

    /thread

    10x better than a dyson. Great attatchments, never clogs, very good particle filter, powerful as fuck, attachments have hair grabbing fabric used on old anti-lint brushes so scrubbing at spots matted with hair (dog on a welcome mat), everything is made of very thick plastic that won't break off, head is fully rotatable (as long as the head fits under furniture, you can completely vacuum under).

    We have even used it sucking up dust and stones in our renovation sometimes and it hasn't affected it at all.

  • True, but the UI reflects that they still use source forge lol. Still the best open source camera.

  • I live in Belgium. I think I count on 2 hands how many people I have seen with an iPhone, and I have a quite young workplace.

    Surprising that apple is top. Literally every public place where you are where a phone rings or an alarm goes off, there is a 90% chance it is the default Samsung tone/alarm and almost everyone in the room immediately checks if it was theirs lol.

  • What are you talking about?

    This is a completely separate company. The company you are looking for is HMD global which is a generic foxconn phone company which licensed the Nokia name.

    Nokia makes high speed networking hardware like 5G stations and public infrastructure stuff. Completely unrelated which is why Samsung is looking at buying them: because it is a sector where Samsung isn't dominant.

  • Even the most passive, neutral reporter in the world in any other case could/would say

    "Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war killed by Israeli airstrike."

    That is just 100% fact without a shadow of any doubt at all. The airstrike created the shrapnel that killed him, launched by Israel.

  • Bandcamp has so much vinyl that I want from artists that I want to support, but shipping it overseas double or triples the cost (even if you buy 10 different LPs at a time, shipping is seperate for many of them) and I can't afford it. AFAIK, there is nothing like band camp on this side of the ocean

  • True, meanwhile my HP printer had a hell of a time trying to work on windows much less finding an actual downlosd for the scanner tool on HP's websitr for a printer ovrr 5 years old and on Linux I typed yay HP, 1, then I was ready to print and scan.

    Plus KDE discover is the convenience if the Microsoft store was actually good.

    Settings are ACTUALLY in setting instead of being split between settings, control panel, individual tool auto diagnoses, powershell, and registry edits.

    KDEconnect works seamlessly and I can also locate my phone if I lost it in the house.
