What’s a better product? I use TeamViewer as an individual to help my technically illiterate grandparents who live across the country with tech issues. Would love an alternative if there is one.

Quad9 is a great thing to learn about right about now.

They will though. He’s going to settle out of court. Some amount of money that is meaningless to him. There will be no punishment on a scale he will even notice. And he will continue to do the same shit.

Like 90% of Americans who have android phones use SMS. WhatsApp is more common in places outside the US. Not inside.

Birds’ nest.

They are too big and the corporate contracts are too ingrained in society. They won’t lose anything meaningful over these terrible anti-consumer decisions because they don’t care about individual consumers. As long as the bigger ticket contracts are in place, their income is totally safe.

Wonder if Merlin plans to bypass this somehow.

An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:

If you happen to care, what you were doing with the program Rufus was creating a “bootable media”. Think back in the day when you had to buy a Windows CD and insert that to install or update Windows. This is kind of the evolution of that. An operating system installer can be loaded into a thumb drive (some utilities even let you put many on one drive, and then you can choose between them) and then you tell your computer to read from the USB drive first (which you did via the BIOS boot menu configuration) and instead of booting up your installed Windows, it gives you the option of installing whatever is on your USB drive.

This is fortunately often a pretty painless process, creating the USB boot loaders isn’t hard, and virtually every single Linux distro out there can be installed in this way.

Glad you’re enjoying Mint, and excellent choice for a new Linux user. If you like it, you’ll never need to change to anything else.

Welcome!

That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.

I’ve used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

I give it a few months before the Community tier servers’ data is dumped and sold to an AI model company.

Jesus. I can’t find an affordable apartment in Boston but “Blue grounds” is listing fucking 372 of them on Airbnb…

EDIT: so Blueground is the biggest property holder in almost every city? Or one of the top 5 in the places it isn’t #1. What the hell?

I’ve been using fedora since 2016 and love it. Switched to the KDE spin 2-3 years ago and love that even more. It’s the right balance of fully-fledged OS while still letting me tinker. I don’t have time for Arch-level setup BS, and distros like Mint and Manjaro and Ubuntu felt too clunky and restrictive to me.

Boost on Android. Used it for reddit, use it for Lemmy now that it swapped over.

I believe someone debunked the claim of lossless audio. But otherwise I think that’s all accurate.

I guess maybe too mainline for everyone here but I use an Asus router flashed with the Merlin OS (a painless easy process) and it works excellently. No issues setting up all the things you mentioned.

I’m a techy and a tinkerer. I run Linux on a lot of machines and I self host some stuff, and I also mod and tune my car.

I keep a windows laptop on hand that at this point I literally only use for tuning software. If something goes wrong with the car I don’t want to go through trying to fuck with booting a niche engine tune program in Wine on a Linux machine with an OS that may or may not even recognize the OBD device needed to flash the tune. Too many places for things to go wrong and the end result is a car I can’t drive.

Unless you’re very comfortable with having your car unusable for long periods of time while you troubleshoot things, I’d highly recommend having a windows laptop for car tuning.

Kinda low on alternatives with rarbg gone. Any recs?
