It's concerning that you insinuate that 20 year old hardware just works in Linux.

Just because a 20 year old sound card happens to work in your favorite Linux distro doesn't in any way mean that it will work forever or that there are drivers for all 20 year old soundcards.

Where does it say that it's not allowed to create a Windows driver for a 20 year old soundcard?

Both sides produce propaganda so it will probably take months until we know whether this is true or not.

We know that they have no respect whatsoever for human life, whether it's civilians or their own soldiers, so if they could they would have used it long ago in this way.

So yeah, I'm not going to consider this as trustworthy until there are sources confirming this that aren't Russian and like Iran, China, India and South Africa.

So they got hacked / ransomwared?

So going to work on the commuter train will be A LOT of buzzing on your phone?

Sounds like there's more to it than that.

So if phones essentially are BLE beacons I fail how Apple/Google plan to detect unwanted trackers.

All I have to do is register a new playstore account and use that to track a specific tag/phone.

Someone care to explain what I'm missing here?

So Intel, Apple, every other company that develops ARM based processors, AMD and Nvidia has just missed this technology ?

We're talking about trillions of dollars in just R'n'D investments and this technology just flew under the radar?

If it sounds too good to be true, it is probably too good to be true.

The draft, submitted by a lawmaker from each of Russia's two houses of parliament, describes the 1954 handover as arbitrary and illegal because no referendum was held and Soviet authorities had no right to transfer territory from one constituent republic to another without consent.

I'm pretty sure that there was no consent when Russia attacked Ukraine in 2022.

So how's it going to be? Is consent necessary or not when determining if land belongs to Russia id or not?

Orban / Lukasjenko.... Same shit, different names.

You want to have both hands free while moving or an extra dose of speed to go faster? With the Mobility Plus Package you can activate a variety of clever additional functions in the Mobility App.

With the Mobility Plus Package you can increase the support speed from 6 km/h to 8,5 km/h and benefit from the Cruise Mode that allows you to keep a permanent speed with only one deflection on the push rim.

Holy fuck!?!? The wheelchair is actually actively crippled if you don't pay?

If you are able to crack software, this is the time to stand up and do actual real good for humanity !

This makes me so angry.

...and shitty business decisions there are plenty of.

I had to check if I was alone on this...I wasn't. First hit on a quick Google:

So yeah, not alone... this is the hill I'm dying on😁

You're free to whatever opinion you might have but it's not a secret that Google used to change their search page to a more limited one if you were using Firefox.

Hence people created add-ons to change the User Agent to mimic Chrome when accessing Google.

Edit: I just reread your comment and noticed that you only quoted the part about Windows.

I'll just let my comment remain but it's okay that you're having an opinion that spoofing OS when accessing websites is not needed.

I've been a regular user of Debian and Ubuntu for the last 20 years and even though I love the idea of Linux taking market share from Windows the article doesn't in any way analyze the reliability of the statistics.

Statcounter says it gets its desktop operating system (OS) usage stats from tracking code installed on over 1.5 million global websites generating over 5 billion monthly page views.

So... How reliable is this actually? There are a millions reasons for me to fake which is and web browser in using. Some sites actively sabotage the user experience and usability if the OS is not identified as Windows or the web browser is not Chrome/Edge.

I've been working IT since the 90's and there's not a 4% market share of Linux when I look at my friends and colleagues that works IT. The ones I know that doesn't work IT definitively don't use Linux. Att least not in other things than Steam Deck and Android (Linux as in "modified kernel") and maybe some premade img for RPi

Link to the UN report. You will find a link to the report in the bottom of the page.

Touch screen, Vibration feedback/Color change or not, means that you have to look at what your hand is doing and not on the road.

A physical button means you can keep your eyes on the road and find the right button with easy.

So let's be honest. At this point, touch screens are chosen by car makers because cost and not design. So essentially, safety is less important than cost for the car makers.

Don't worry. There was some little minor thing about a vent but is reported as fixed since it was discovered.

Just finished the last season of For All Mankind yesterday and it can be seen as a sort of prequel to The Expanse.

But then again, you never know when the service you rely on will be canned by Google.

How many Instant Messengers have we(yes, I'm an Android user) been through now?

Even if this was the case, it's still not good:

"The one who controls the AI now controls you."

I still don't get "There's some things imperial is just better at...We as people can perceive imperial temperatures a lot better than metric."

I can remember -17.8°C and 37°C just as good as Americans can remember 32°F and 212°F. So in that sense there's no difference, just different scales.

However, Fahrenheit based 0°F on the lowest outdoor temperature he could measure in Gdansk (Poland) during the winter of 1708/1709. He then based 100°F on his own body temperature.

Even if you were able to perceive human body temperature without a thermometer, there's no way you in any way can relate to the winter of 1708/1709.

At this point using Fahrenheit is just a principle and nothing else.
