This is frequently due to startup apps, not Windows itself. I generally find when I disable stuff like Steam, Teams, Creative Cloud, OEM (e.g. HP) software, etc Windows is usable as soon as I log on. My work Windows laptop has most startup

It should be noted that the build quality of the ThinkPad are much higher than the IdeaPad. I have both and the IdeaPad is more or less on par with other cheap consumer laptops.

One advantage of Windows over Linux is the fact their graphics stack can easily be restarted while the system/apps/etc are running. The screen just dips to black for a second and you're back where you were. You can see this a

Sadly I now see sites refusing to work unless you use Chrome even though there is no technical reason whatsoever why it should break under other standards-complaint browsers. I've seen all sort of tricks to detect non-Chrome-usage and

I've had flash drives go bad after months or even weeks so I'm dubious about your ten years claim. Probably depends on the type of flash chip, quality, etc but still overall worse than the alternatives.

Very strange statement to make given a large mobile phone operating system (Android) has Chrome as the default browser. Also the default in some Linux distros such as the Raspberry Pi OS. And many PC builders bundle Chrome with their usual

Let me try to explain: On routes with high frequency flights, airlines will generally issue a different flight number for each unique departure time to a particular destination. E.g. YY500 departing at 9am to LAX on Mon/Wed/Fri an

They don't operate in Korea but they do provide Korean translations which seems to suggest they consider inbound tourists as a target market. It is quite telling the Korean apps do not.

It depends on the region and which Glacier product you choose. I think your pricing of $0.0036/GB is the cheapest I've seen. However it is for the 'Flexible Retrieval' option. 'The Deep Archive' option is $0.00

I'm not sure the modem makes any difference. I have access four different Android phones and none of them have the option to disable 2G.

Not all Android devices have this toggle. I personally own three Android devices (and have one Android device from work) and none of them have this option. Right now I can see both a Samsung S21 and Samsung A73 provide only the following: 5

Out of interest as I have found IPv6 RA to work flawlessly for my home network (alongside legacy IPv4 DHCP), what advantage (if any) is there in deploying DHCPv6 within the home LAN? Or were you meaning to say DHCPv6 is great for certain (e

I had an Team Group SSD that very occasionally would commit a successful write only to be followed by a read failure several weeks/months later. Eventually it got to the point where some blocks just wouldn't read at all (or just

Wayland on Debian has been rock solid for me for several years now (and much better than Xorg ever was to be honest) using Intel GPUs in my experience. I haven't tried AMD/nVidia however. I use Flatpak which is another point of di

Which is in line with how many other Debian packages work which is again why I think this isn't really a big issue from the perspective of a Debian user. Most of the upset seem to be coming from users of other distros unfamiliar with t

Features that according to your GP was disabled by default. And according to others in this discussion thread, disabled by default in the upstream also.

If it's turned off by default, then please explain the drama. This simple statement makes this drama look like a storm in the proverbial teacup.

At the end of the day the volunteer is a volunteer for the Debian project (not KeepassXC or others) and doing what is deemed right for the Debian project. I agree volunteers should be held to a high standard, although I suspect in this case

I note elsewhere in this thread that all they did was disable an option from the upstream build script -- suggesting this is an acceptable option provided by upstream themselves? I think suggesting a rename is a bridge too far given even up

Which is pretty much what all other Debian package maintainers do. For Debian users it's expected they ensure the software they are packaging fits in with the Debian way of doing things. This is what Debian users want -- if they wanted

It can also work the other way around. When I install Apache on other distros I end up having to disable so many modules -- whereas the default Apache config in Debian is pretty watertight I never really have to mess around with modules. Li

I agree that is unfortunate however I would argue the package should have been built that way in the first place. It's not the best thing to do now but better late than never. I wonder if the Debian maintainer would consider some sort

As a Debian user I like how Debian just includes the basics in the main package and provides optional extras if you want them. I'm not sure how other distros handle it the other way around -- if the main package includes everything the

Agreed but it is worth keeping in mind that Bitwarden's implementation of sync is probably a lot more sophisticated than KeepassXC; and is probably the main reason why one would use Bitwarden. I am a former user of Keepass and I never

Sorry to see you've been downvoted. For those not familiar with the Deaf community, it is correct there is a Deaf culture with many people who identify as Deaf and indeed there is hundreds of years of history.

by kiwijamo 2y ago
Can you explain your reasoning behind putting culture in double quotes. You may do well to remember you also need to justify your use of your own words. The medical industry does not (and shouldn't) have the last word on language relat

People care. Just because you (n=1) don't doesn't mean "nobody cares". It is always good to be openminded and understand other people's point of view.

As someone who has had cochlear implant surgery myself, that is 100% true. Luckily as a member of the Deaf community I knew full well what to expect so I didn't expect to hear straight away and just looked forward to taking my time lea

Depends on your use case. Sometimes I want to send a document and not have the receiver change it at their whims. E.g. quotes for jobs. Simple attachments are great for that. Also I find some people who aren't good with tech find attac
