On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.

Ok, but anyone with a monster energy tattoo needs to be bonked on the head. It’s 2024 for crying out loud! I thought we were passed this!
I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.
It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.
That’s it exactly. Most consumer camera gear uses H.264/H.265 for video and AAC for audio in an MP4 container and the free version of Davinci Resolve just doesn’t support that on Linux. (But does on Windows)
Unfortunately the free version on Linux doesn’t support H.264/H.265 and even the paid version doesn’t support AAC so using Resolve requires you to transcode if you’re using any normal consumer camera.
Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.
Worth noting that the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn’t support H.264/H.265 under Linux. You will need to use another format or pay for the full version. ($295)
What a nice house.
I’ve had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.
This sounds like a plot from fallout.
I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.
It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.
I found a small Dell B1160W at Goodwill for $5 new in box! Best little printer I’ve ever had and I’m still on the original toner cartridge. My only gripe is that it’s wireless or USB. Would love to have wired LAN, but for $5 I can’t complain!
Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)
They have their uses. In particular they’re useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don’t have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they’re the best “third party” package system available but they’re not great.
App Images do suck, but I don’t think flatpak is much better. It’s more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn’t even in the conversation.
Same I was taught. Think it’s official. Professor was a stickler for following official rules so I doubt he would deviate.
I don’t even shut my computer down anymore. Just lock it and let the monitors go to sleep. Reboot as necessary for updates. Been doing this since like 2004 without any issues. Currently on Linux Mint.
