(Not OP) Scaleway is quite better at UI and has excellent support in my experience. OVH is a bit rougher but offers more solutions IMO, and has DCs in America (Scaleway is purely European).

That's not how it works. As Google is the default search engine for most browsers (Safari, Firefox), as soon as you hit Google it begs you to use Chrome instead of whatever you're using right now. You don't have to search for

I had a Canon about 20 years ago. Getting it to work with Linux was incredibly difficult and finicky, and required some piece of proprietary software at some point. So my gut feeling about Canon is "never again", though the situat

Probably some dubiously useful features such as a nicer web UI (I never use it anyway), some utterly useless features like "scanning to Dropbox/GDrive", or most probably now some "AI assistant" that tells you how to

I've very deliberately NOT updated the firmware of my Brother printer, ever. I mean, it works just fine (but complains that there's some updates available). What could an update add? Probably nothing. What could it break ? A whole

I've only ever bought DRM-less epub (mostly books from John Scalzi and a couple of other authors). I won't pirate, because I refuse any DRM-laden shite as a question of principle.

This applies to adults, too. When you're really poor, it's actually a reasonable strategy NOT to keep money but spend everything as soon as you hit pay day, for instance on storable food. Why's that ? Because money on your ba

That applies equally to most people having been through war and becoming refugees. I know a couple of people who fled from Afghanistan, and that wasn't exactly a cakewalk. Like "my brother was forced to enroll in the talibans and

This problem isn't limited to hardware engineers, nor to UK. All across Europe, a massive brain drain is occurring, and the way it's going we'll become developing countries in a couple of decades at most.

My most important routine daily activity is 30-45 minutes of callisthenics (abs, push-ups, etc), then going running in the wood for 30 to 45 minutes. 15-20 years ago I used to do that between 7 and 9 (bringing children to school in the midd

The change was made by Caesar's reform of calendar in 46BC. January first was the date of consular elections, and Romans didn't used year number ab urbe condita ("since the foundation of Rome") regularly in daily life,

The year begins on January 1st per Julius Caesar's calendar reform of 46BC, because in Rome the year was called by the name of the elected consuls, and consuls were elected on January first. So basically, up until this change it was co

When I take my breakfast, I'm reading a book. Whenever I lie on my bed, I'm reading a book. This way, I read 30-50 books every year. I don't use any of TikTok, WhatsApp, X etc, that probably helps too.

And don't forget all of the devices that become obsolete under windows and still "just work" with Linux, like old scanners, printers, cards and adapters of all kinds.

Hardware support is so much better in Linux it's not even funny. I mean you can't even install windows server on most PCs because there aren't any drivers ! This trolling is beyond ridiculous.
