It did not. I think you and OP are feeling this based on anecdotal/singular experience. I can get any old movie I want and am able to download all the latest stuff very quickly using two private trackers. Been on one of them for over a decade and the other one is TL and I hardly ever use TL. 90/10 ratio.
This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.
This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I’ve ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.
Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.
Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I’ve ever owned.
Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I’ve tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.
I’m sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it’s actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.
I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.
Really? Bunch of open source tools like Bitwarden and Firefox support passkey. Are you saying they all use and pay for licensed code?
Pipewire works well enough for sharing screen even though it isn’t well supported by shit software like Slack. Would this replace it?
Oh you meant credit line, not credit? They will quickly shrink that if not used. All the credit cards I haven’t used for a while reduced their credit lines wiltin a few years. Some by as much as 10x.
They don’t give it to you at 0% apr. Most credit cards have insane rates above 20%. They can and will come after just about everything you own.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it’ll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let’s go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
Yup. Been using it for about 20 years now. It is more popular in Europe, but I wouldn’t call it a small player in US either.
This anecdote without any context certainly makes OpenSuse a low key player in OS game.
Desktop config has very little to do with OS since most are running kde or gnome and those handle all that.
OpenSUSE is very well known and had btrfs snapshots for a very long time. I’ve used this feature several times to undo updates and it is extremely easy and best of all works perfectly without user having to configure anything.
I have a split keyboard, but it includes a num pad. To be fair I was mostly kidding. I realize there are as many opinions on the keyboard as there are people. I also write code occasionally for work, but I wouldn’t sacrifice num pad for space.
TKL? That’s your own fault for buying a defective keyboard that’s missing a whole section just because of aesthetics.
Take care of your health in general, but take extra special care of your core. Your back will thank you in 20 years.
The only correct answer is num lock. Caps lock is sort of correct, but it’s a stupid key on anything that’s not a typewriter so I usually disable it so the only correct answer is num lock. No exceptions.
You mean num lock, right? Ctrl actually does something.
My phone translates anything on screen in more or less real time. If the post looks interesting I can read it no matter the language.
Have you tried glances?
