I'm kinda not mad that he's crazy AND vocal. What I'm more worried about is when maybe when he older and wiser he shuts up and just starts funneling all that money towards his nutto crazy talk. At least now you can hear him coming.

Yup, just switched to this. It's not quite as live as I was used to with life360, but it works for what we need.

Chocolatey here.

Sadly doesn't appear to be usable for SMS by Google Fi users who have web sync enabled. Guess I'll be holding off.

Thanks for this, switched from Weather Underground

Yeah, sadly a good color e-ink screens seems like one of those techs that is always a couple years away. It seems like maybe the demand just isn't there for R&D with everyone having large form factor phones these days.

This was my fear, thanks. When I saw what they were doing with it I was like come on, who needs to take notes in color.

I really REALLY love my Kobo Libre 2, it's a fantastic reader. I would like to move the Color version, but they didn't actually show anything like a graphic novel, guess I'll be waiting for reviews, not sure why they wouldn't show the most common use for one of these unless maybe it's not great at it.

I just built a 13700k system for a lab box. My plan all along was undervolt (stable .130 undervolt) and limit max PL2 to 175w. I probably get 85% or better of listed performance and it runs a cool 60° even under max load, which I will frequently run for 24h at a time. For me, cool and stable was always the goal, sounds like this is just bearing out my decision.

Note, I would have gone AMD, but I needed quicksync for Plex.

I'm mean, they are both methods to do the same thing (get smaller sized videos) and it doesn't have to be one of the other, both can be used. With better compression you can stream higher resolution.

I'm convinced that part of the reason of this over processing is because of streaming. You can compress a movie or show far FAR more when colors are smooth and uniform (I know this from compressing multiple hundreds of movies and TV shows). So now that everyone is "streaming all the things" they have to look for ways to get 4k out the door and to the normal consumer who might only have 100mb internet.

Edit: not defending it, just sharing my observations as a media enthusiast.

I would guess probably not soon. Windows still needs to be able to comply with many industries needs for compliance (ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, etc etc.) If they remove the ability to control this, they cut themselves out of their largest profit area (corporate licensing).

So many headline readers. To be honest, 99% of these problems that folks rage about could be resolved with a group policy (local or domain). The problem is, Windows is like 73% of worldwide OS usage, so like it or not, there is a lot of trying to protect the user from themselves. Team Linux can't fathom that because they come from the perspective that they can build thier experience from the ground up to be exactly as they like. The VAST majority of people don't want that, they want something that works and they don't really care what happens behind the curtains. I would wager that 90% of users could care less what browser they use (or would even notice if it changed!) as long as they still had access to their bookmarks.

I would like to share a positive experience from this new driver the article is about. I use notepad++ and setting it as the default was kind of a pain in the butt. It would work sometimes, but not consistently, and often depended on a registry hack or symlink to work. Now with the new interface for default apps, as long as I have the new Windows Notepad app installed when I change the defaults for "open with", it just works! For all the file extensions, all the time. Honestly it's a much better experience and it's ACCESSIBLE to the lay person.

Set it via group policy (local or domain) and forget about it.

Not sure who's down voting you, but socks are meant to be in shoes and shoes are meant to be in contact with the ground. Shoes have rubber soles, socks are cloth. One of these things is much more durable than the other.

I have 90% hardwood floors and my socks get destroyed if I don't wear slippers of some sort.

Making my point for me. Those short form videos have very little chance of being right or accurate. They may have you going to some sketchy link and download and app that is supposed to do it for you etc etc.

My point is the people at risk don't know they are participating in a risky activity. (not if they successfully rooted their phone or not).

Watch out son, don't you know your in Linux land (Lemmy)? You're likely to get shot for them thar words. /s

You've won! Thank you for changing my mind.

Just use the classic control panel if that's the case. It's still there. You'd probably still recognize parts of it from Windows 3.1.1.
