That's the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don't need a separate addon for that.
Ublock Origin -> Settings -> External Filters -> Annoyances -> Tick all
Privacy redirect is unmaintained, not updated for 3 years, switch to LibRedirect
I use these ones frequently:
- Quick Currency Converter - I'm interested in a better currency converter, its UI is not nice, but otherwise usable, and I couldn't find a better one
- Open Page in Private Window - Adds button to rightclick menu
- Want My RSS - RSS button in the url bar
- Viewhance - better image viewer, zoom with scroll wheel, etc
- TWP - Translate Web Pages - Like the built in translator, but online only, works with more languages, translate selection in rightclick menu
- PersistentPin - I don't know why FF forgets pinned pages, but this solves that
I'm not familiar with linux mint, why?
Also they can switch to debian base relatively easily
I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:
“This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking …] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.
But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”
Maybe stability is not a frequent issue nowadays, and they need the new kernel to support new hardware more quickly?
E.g. I can imagine a new linux friendly laptop can't be sold with ubuntu preinstalled because the old kernel is not supporting some parts yet, but it's already merged upstream. Or something like that.
My bank's 2FA works only via their app or via SMS. For SMS I would have to pay per each received SMS.
The app perfectly works without safetynet, with microG, rooted with magisk but hidden by zygisk, so I'm lucky. At one update they added a popup at start after login about asking to add my card to Google Wallet (or whatever it's called nowadays), and it's not implemented in MicroG, so I can't open it since that version. I just downgraded to the last working version and blacklisted its upgrades in Aurora, and I hope they won't block my old version in the near future.
It's a very progressive small local bank, I will contact them about this issue if they block my old version to make that dialog optional.
18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.
Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.
For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.
How do you make old people happy by messaging on signal? What makes a text based messenger "fun"?
I enjoy speaking with my friends on signal, because - you know - they are my friends.
My use case with stickers: when they were a new things, I saved like 3 packs, and I never felt the need to look for a new one.
About links: there are far better tools and services to store your bookmarks than a text messenger. Personally I use self hosted wallabag, but there are a lot others, and all web browsers has some bookmark feature, I don't know why you want to store them in Signal.
The stickers are not in the app for privacy reason. This website is not run by the foundation, but by the community. Read more about how stickers work in the blog post: https://signal.org/blog/make-privacy-stick/
I think you have a preconception about what you want, maybe it's discord, or I don't know which service you think about as "ideal UX" or "for young people". But if you start to think about that all that bells and whistles are actually just distractions. The only important thing in the long run will be communication, and Signal is good with that.
Why should a text messenger be fun? It's a communication tool, not a game...
The stickers accessed via the sticker button left of the textbox. You can add stickers by going to https://signalstickers.org and click on add stickers. And you can add them some way if you receive a new one from a contact.
What is a list of links? Links you have sent/recieved previously?
Search for "vfio single gpu", It's possible, but it has drawbacks. Iirc you have to run everything as root or something like that.
Another recommended way is to run a headless linux as host, and passthrough the gpu to a linux guest next to a windows guest, than you just switch between the guests
Yes that is another option. I know 7zip works there, win11 is mostly the same as win7 under the hood, but I would install a supported frontend instead of fiddling with the registry, tweaks like that can break after updates
I don't use windows personally, just set it up for others. I don't care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions
File explorer's built in archiver is still lagging behind, while it's mostly usable, last time I tried to open a password protected rar, and it didn't show a pw dialog just failed silently. 7zip opened it correctly
7zip doesn't support the new win11 rightclick menu (yet), nanazip is a fork with full win11 support:
It's a 4chan thread. It should be an image not a video.
Other free services I had good experiences with:
Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.
I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it's a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.
For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.
In the last 10 years they were struggling, the Williams family finally sold the team. There were some news about how chaotically they manage car parts, everything was in one big excel: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/03/formula-1-chief-appalled-to-find-team-using-excel-to-manage-20000-car-parts/
Lawson missed a race for this reason indirectly, they didn't have enough parts to fix the Albon's car, so Albon raced in Lawson's car in Australia at the beginning of the season.
It's a Fujitsu W26361 There isn't a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.
You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:
You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It's impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant
Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.
If it's an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:
You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:
If it's not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:
