I can confirm Android users can't uninstall the Chrome browser. I can also confirm iOS users can't uninstall the Safari browser.

Have you forgotten what life was like before windows got UAC? Just because a machine is single user doesn't mean it's a good idea for all processes to run as root/Admin.

It's been years since that was necessary. All major distros do this sort of thing automatically now with GUI configuration tools as a first class option. Even on bare bones distros like Debian.

Ubiquiti is still pretty good for home usage. Their gear is the only one I have used so far that handles 10-15 active devices without breaking a sweat. Other APs I've tried fall apart pretty quickly at that number.

Debian too. Although the fact they use Ubuntu suggests Debian support should be a given.

I bought a Lenovo X1 Carbon expecting excatly the situation you describe so stuck with the preinstalled Windows 10 for some months. I was pleasantly surprised when I summoned up the courage to try Debian. I had no trouble at all with all yo

Loads just fine with uBlock Origin on FF.

I use both Google and O365 at the educational institutions I work at and both platforms works fine across a wide variety of applications. Strange that you are experiencing these issues.

Give us some real concrete examples. This does not match my experience at all so I'm dubious.

That sounds very strange. Certainly don't see that in Firefox on Mac (work laptop) and both Linux and Windows (personal laptop). Try adding the h.264 extension. That forces YouTube to provide h.264 videos which is hardware accelerated

Interesting, I have uBlock Origin and indeed I can't tell the difference between Chrome and Firefox.

by kiwijamo 6y ago
Indeed. Hangouts is one I find works better in Firefox even! But I observe it seems to vary. Perhaps Intel Macs has some quirks that makes it more peformant and reliable in Firefox.

I have strict tracking enabled in Firefox as well as uBlock Origin and I've yet to see a site broken. The only "broken" ones I've seen are badly coded ones that also fail to work in Chrome. Reputable sites tend to be jus

There's a few for ATM withdrawals over 300 a month. Whereas all banks in New Zealand don't charge any fees for this on most if not all account types.

New Zealand too.

Funnily enough it costs more in fees for me to use Wise as my daily account so I've kept my traditional bank cards! I do suspect it varies by country. I'm fortunate in New Zealand that banks generally offer fee-free accounts with

This probably counts cells (i.e. a cell will be a service from an antenna facing in a specific direction broadcasting on a specific frequency) rather than towers. One tower can operate several cells--especially true for 3G and 4G where many

Here in New Zealand, Apple Maps is more or less on par with Google Maps with a lot of variability in different areas. I switched from Apple to Google about a year ago and to be honest even if Google Maps is sometimes better than Apple, it&#

Agreed. mmWave 5G deployment is not that common from my observation around the world. For example here in NZ most, if not all, 5G deployments is in the 3.5 GHz band (with some test deployment in 2.6 GHz in areas where it is not in use for 4

BeOS was ahead of its time, that's for sure. One thing it did exceptionally well was multitasking. Even if you had a intensive task running in the background, you would never notice any lag whatsoever in the GUI. Windows/Linux&#x2

It's almost never the same layout as in proper Word even for simple documents. It's only really useful for shared documents you don't need to print etc.

Interesting, it was the first thing I checked. Loved that feature on the MacBooks so was very happy my X1 Carbon 5th Gen had it.

Perhaps not but we are at the point now where it is not economically viable to buy new IPv4 blocks. Many smaller (and more recently established ISPs) ISPs have given up on buying IPv4 addresses and are now running CG-NAT behind the handful

Suprisely to me even, all these work work fine on Debian. Debian needed me to slide load the intel wireless drivers (a disappointing aspect I grant) but otherwise everything just worked right out of the box. Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Generation.

I've had to on Linux for a very common wireless networking chip. Also for a scanner from a very common printer brand (that ironically has excellent support for printers on Linux). And this is Debian on a ThinkPad--a very common combina

That is strange. Until fairly recently my daily driver was a low end ex-lease HP machine from 2013 or so with an i3 with 4gigs of RAM. Never saw much issue with Defender or the updates. Not unusual for updates of any kind to be all over and

Keep in mind Google is the default browser on Android. Many corporates load Chrome as the default browser as part of their setup process for new machines. For many naive people Chrome is the default browser. It's been a long time since
