People simply can't have the same expectations of hardware as with Windows. You must select your hardware for Linux support. They make heroic efforts in supporting a variety of hardware but if you have the choice it's better to us

Not really. If citizens see "fines" and think "whew, they got their just deserts", it's almost worse than no fines. But the EU is frequently performative, so it doesn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me

I'm glad we over here have decent public transport, large non-Uber taxi companies, excellent pre-prepared food in supermarkets with high food standards, sidewalks ... If Uber banned me it would be the mildest of inconveniences. Every a

Careful about cheap. Housebuilders were happy to just use plasterboard to separate dwellings in a flat complex for example (or it at least sounds like it. There is zero soundproofing - every sniff, tap, movement etc can be heard)

It's easier just to never believe a company whenever they say "unlimited". It almost always goes away. And never ever truly unlimited as they all have a legal caveat to terminate your services for whatever reason whenever the

This will definitely just apply to social media and the situation won't be abused by other companies even if they have no legal requirement, absolutely not, no sir.

Yeah my TV/movies drive is just mergerfs of two drives. I view it as a cache but I'm lucky to have a gigabit connection. Anything I want to keep I'll make a specific decision and move it to my RAID1 drive which is backed up o

I feel most people have absolutely no idea that the US had its very large boot in the UK's face with our face in the mud for much of the post WW2 period, and still has. We had to dance exactly to their tune. It annoys me no end to read
