I setup Fedora Silverblue for my son a few years back for his first computer (he was 7). It worked well for his simple needs and was very low overhead in terms of management for the obvious reasons. An immutable OS may be overkill but it wa

That is a good compromise however most people I know that collect physical media like to keep the whole package not just the disc in a wallet like that. It is a good alternative to mine though and a lot cheaper :D

I get the point the author is making but keeping all the DVDs also isn't the answer IMHO. At least it wasn't for me, it was just annoying to find a place to store it all, to move it when we moved country would have cost money for

Question. Why a laptop if you're plugging it into a monitor and therefore using it like a desktop? Does it have to be a laptop? If you just want something portable you can take from place A to place B and use with a monitor have a lo

I enjoy the HomePod mini we were gifted in the kitchen. It sounds fine for what it is but Siri is basically a glorified kitchen timer as it fails at least 70% of the time at answering a question or even turning lights on and off. Is it too

Because they got rid of that over a year ago in these models.

Having now read through some of this persons comments on the thread it seems a huge area of regret for them is that they didn't export the content before they closed their accounts. That I can understand is upsetting much like not havi

What I mean by "less sticky" is that it requires more slow moving precision when aligning against an edge in order for the sticky window feature to activate. This is annoying for me when using a trackpad. They're still "

This is where we disagree I guess :) To me they made the sticky window feature worse . It is still there but it is more finickity to use. I don't want to have to slow down and gently bump the window against another in the hope it work

by satysin 4y ago
Yes but this is very different to how it has always been in the past. If you wanted to avoid the window sticking in the past you could hold the option key while you dragged the window, making it less sticky seems kind of strange.

I don't know if it is a bug or a design change but something I cannot stand with Ventura is that "sticky windows" are less sticky. In all versions prior to 13 when you move a window to the edge of the screen or against anothe

I picked up a mini pc for my son a few weeks ago. €439 for a Ryzen 5600H, 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 500GB NVMe SSD. It comes with Windows 11 Pro and boots in ~10 seconds. Fedora runs great on it as well, booting in around 15 seconds, with the exc

I am interested in understanding how anyone could think a social media platform where you can't post your social media accounts is a genius move :) This is basically Elon realising he can control what is on Twitter but not other social

Wow. How will the free speech absolutists twist this as being pro free speech? This policy makes Twitter the least free speech social media platform available. I wonder how this will work for official Twitter accounts for those other social

This 100%. HR is there to protect the company. Sometimes that aligns with protecting the employee but when shit hits the fan ask yourself does HR work for you or for the company? I know I sound a bit 'down' saying that but it is a

Ask if there are VRIF (voluntary reduction in force) options open to you. Most of the time there are unless you have some kind of "special" status. I've never known a company that is in the process of layoffs not jumping at t

I think OP may mean: trope of programmers having low social IQ (aka EQ)? There is certainly a stereotype (reinforced by the media of course) of programmers being awkward, geeky, poor communicators to non-experts, emotionally a bit “weird”,
