It works perfectly fine with user agent switcher. Apple just blocked Linux to be assholes.

The data is encrypted and can't even be recovered unless you create a recovery key. Some people don't want their browser phoning home and others just don't want to store their data on someone else's server.

Why not just use bookmarks in Firefox with sync enabled? You can self host your own sync server if you are worried about privacy.

Most of my drives are EXT4, but I started using BTRFS a couple years ago and will be using it on all new installs from now on. I really like being able to make snapshots and compression reduces the install size quite a bit.

It would have been nice if they came up with something shorter like .lan.

All you need to do is enable DoH or DoT to prevent the DNS hijacking and spying.

It doesn't matter to me if games that use rootkit anticheat don't work on Linux. I would never install anything that requires a rootkit.

It's either 2K or 4K video. The bitrate needs to be high because any compression artifacts would be very obvious on a huge screen.

It's rather hard to open source the model when you trained it off a bunch of copyrighted content that you didn't have permission to use.

It's packaged with two DOS emulators and a large amount of scanned documentation, that's why the file is so big.

I'm not sure what features it has that makes anyone want to still use it instead of a modern program. I certainly wouldn't want to be limited to an 80x24 character screen when editing a large text file.

It's a closed source program. There's not going to be any source code unless somebody goes through the massive effort of reverse engineering it. That effort would be much better spent improving a clone such as WordTsar.

Firefox currently has no plans to drop support for manifest V2. It also supports the WebRequest API in V3, so ad blocking would continue to work if they do discontinue V2.

OLED displays are very bright, but running them at full brightness will reduce the life quite a bit and make it much easier to get burn in. The best option is to just close the curtains if there is direct sunlight glaring on the screen.

That depends on the ISP having backup batteries for their equipment. It will usually only last a couple of hours. 5G will usually stay up for a few days. For longer outages, you will need satellite internet and lots of fuel for your generator.

I would be more worried about that fact that the AI enabled device likely needs an internet connection to function. That means the manufacturer can take away features or brick the device whenever they want to.

Thank goodness there is more than one browser available.

It looks like work is still being done on Coreboot for the Framework. They got it running on the AMD version. It's not ready for use yet, but at least there is some progress.

If you suspect it has been damaged, you should try to get a replacement. Considering what has been happening with them, I would suspect damage if there were stability issues in Prime95.

If you do get a replacement, don't use it until the microcode has been updated in your BIOS.

They are just trying to leech out as much money as possible before the go the way of Digg.

There is no reason to support all distros. They already have an appimage, they could have dropped support for everything but that.
