The bottom line is and always will be in almost any industry some variation of “we already set up hardware that was developed solely to use this ancient thing that’s a standard. Once this new thing becomes industry standard, then we’ll switch.” With the big issue there being, the industry standard will never change until somebody makes the first change and nobody wants to risk the amount of money it would cost to switch.

I do, but live in the US, so I get to see everyone over there enjoy those fancy third party app stores.

Here’s hoping there’s a similar case after this against Apple.

Valve is one of the few companies that I would believe could actually be doing this for the betterment of everyone and not to just Microsoft a competitor to death.

Definitely think bringing on someone who “sounds like Chester” would have been a big mistake and seen (probably rightly) as a cash grab by many people. I like the idea of this being a continuation and not a replacement.

Let’s be real, it’s in those companies best interest that we never know even if they are seeing that. As soon as someone got a DMCA notice because their Roku told the government they pirated Deadpool, there would be a massive amount of damage control required.

You guys had savings?

We switched from Dell to Lenovo at work and the amount of times I’ve had to totally reformat a computer for something just randomly not working right and not being able to find another fix for it has gone to almost zero. Before, with 20 computers, every couple months we had to reformat at least one laptop.

Not a single person has complained about missing Dell in two years.

We did bug collections in 7th grade. Anyone that caught these guys was immediately the coolest for the week. If you caught more than one, you could trade for pretty much any other bug someone had caught.

The first time a kid caught one the teacher would put it on the projector and spent a solid 15 minutes fat shaming it and pointing out its little tiny wings.

I loved AsusWRT-Merlin back when I used an Asus router.

Cybertruck would have been prevented from ever happening with stronger regulations. And as bad as that launch is going, maybe that wouldn’t have been a bad thing for them….

So, the Kindle OS is really basic.

If you’re able to jailbreak, look at installing KUAL and KOReader and that should change your experience enough to not need an entire new OS.

Kindle Fire was the original name of Amazons Android tablets. They later became just “Fire Tablets” and dropped Kindle from the name.

You’re seeing a lot about flashing the Kindle Fire because they still come without Google apps installed and some users believe that makes them very hamstrung. A custom ROM like LineageOS makes it a “real” Android tablet.

I love Dashlane, someone tell me why it’s bad.

But during game time, best possible choice.

Does this mean I can stop paying rent? Because if so, bring on daddy Satan!

I still randomly see myssid 4 (or some other random number) on Windows 11 with no explanation.

I’m a cis dude and sweat a boatload. I tried shaving some of the areas I sweat the most from and, other than helping cutting down on the sweat, the feeling after shaving is phenomenal.

Code snippets are “filets.”

Dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 on my parents desktop.

I broke the boot loader so many times that my mom learned what GRUB was just so she was sure she could yell at me and it wasn’t just our ancient desktop finally dying.
