Thats's a shame, I always considered brother one of the better makers of paper manglers.

Best answer.

Extra tip: You can combine the two last commands with: systemctl enable --now <unit name>.service

Each will send their old or excess stock, or newly manufacturer weapons.

Some of the old stock may include weapons bought from the US previously, but it's very unlikely Europeans will be buying new weapons and supplies from US to give to Ukraine. France, Germany Italy, Spain and the UK all have significant arms manufacturing ability and have ability to scale up quickly. (Reference)

Many European leaders (including business leaders) are extremely reticent to enter into new supply deals of any kind with the US given the recent trade volatility.

Still the linux sysadmin's language of choice!

Bad news sells.

Plenty of evil has been done under the name of communism and socialism too. It's not capitalism's fault, that's just the tool that's being used in these cases by evil people to achieve their ends.

Interesting.

The EU & UK would consider that age discrimination and illegal. You can't be forced to retire at a given age.

Strange that America uses it - especially given the age you allow your presidents to be.

More information: It's been rolling out to Android 9+ users since November 2024 as a high priority update. Some users are reporting it installs when on battery and off wifi, unlike most apps.

App description on Play store: SafetyCore is a Google system service for Android 9+ devices. It provides the underlying technology for features like the upcoming Sensitive Content Warnings feature in Google Messages that helps users protect themselves when receiving potentially unwanted content. While SafetyCore started rolling out last year, the Sensitive Content Warnings feature in Google Messages is a separate, optional feature and will begin its gradual rollout in 2025. The processing for the Sensitive Content Warnings feature is done on-device and all of the images or specific results and warnings are private to the user.

Description by google Sensitive Content Warnings is an optional feature that blurs images that may contain nudity before viewing, and then prompts with a “speed bump” that contains help-finding resources and options, including to view the content. When the feature is enabled, and an image that may contain nudity is about to be sent or forwarded, it also provides a speed bump to remind users of the risks of sending nude imagery and preventing accidental shares. - https://9to5google.com/android-safetycore-app-what-is-it/

So looks like something that sends pictures from your messages (at least initially) to Google for an AI to check whether they're "sensitive". The app is 44mb, so too small to contain a useful ai and I don't think this could happen on-phone, so it must require sending your on-phone data to Google?

They're two very different things. One is supernatural one is simply unknown.

Statistically, yes, life on other planets probably exists in some form as there's just so many. But whether they've contacted, visited or even known about us - I don't think so. Conspiracists will think secrets are being hidden but that's what makes them feel important.

Ghosts - nah. There's no proof beyond human imagination.

Yes, on top of trumpet winsock.

It's all so much better now.

Best is Framework in every regard. Works 100%, great Linux support, specify exactly what you want and it's fully repairable. (They're also by far the most satisfying machine to unbox, given you have to plug it all together yourself)

Lenovo and Dell are okay, in my experience. The odd thing but generally fair quality hardware and reasonably compatible. (Thinkpad quality isn't what it used to be, so don't pay a premium thinking it'll last, Lenovo are trading on its past glories)

Avoid HP - shoddy flimsy things now, and with a lot of bespoke drivers (graphics and audio, plus function buttons in particular)

There's quite a lot of random-branded Chinese laptops around now. I've no direct experience of them, but I imagine they're exactly how you'd expect them to be. Cheap, tailored for the OS they ship with, but will probably work to some degree. Linux is past its initial hardware problems (and to be fair, hardware is problematic now)

There's another thread that's a few years old, but still contains some useful info - such as "Check the Arch Wiki"

The Baz Lurhman's Sunscreen Song is correct in every way.

I don't think it's blind devotion - most of us would acknowledge the guy can be a bit of a dick sometimes.

But we're also grateful. Without his silly idea in the 90s, linux wouldn't exist. Computing today would be massively different - big, commercial, massively expensive unixes like Sco and Solaris dominating the industry. My main hobby for 20 years would be very different. My career for six years wouldn't exist.

That Linus has stayed an actively contributing member whilst not selling out in any way at all for 34 years is... wow. Could you do it? I'm certain i couldn't. I have neither the ethical strength nor moral compass to do it. And I'm certain if he dropped out, some of the massive egos that satellite around Linux, or the monetizing businesses would seek to take over and twist it to their needs.

And, y'know, on the matter of technical detail like this. He's nearly always right. Seriously, look it up. He's not polite, he's not diplomatic, but he's nearly always right. And when he's not, he'll admit it. Again, not your normal human.

So yeah, that's why we respect him and, when he talks, we listen. Even if it's not something we're involved with, it's usually an interesting ride.

That milk forms such a big part of western diets considering where it comes from.

Sometimes questions like this are tests to see how you'll react when asked to deliver the impossible.

(I mean, it's not in this case, but if that's totally how I'd answer if I'd posted it and was challenged)

Love what these guys are doing.

There's also a mainboard case, so you don't need the whole laptoppy thing at all if you don't want to

Medusa rules apply - just grab a shiny shield.

Spez was a total musk fanboy during the early Twitter changes and said that he used him as an inspiration when changing Reddit's api, breaking all the decent phone clients. I don't doubt he'll do anything to join the big boys club.

Surely it's up to the advertisers to choose where who they pay money to use?
