Is that right? Their solution is a single rivet? Can an engineer let us know if this will be enough to hold up for the life of the vehicle?

Every tenth line of code needs a comment break for a detailed ascii “drawing” of human hands

Definitely Gentoo

Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

Weird Al should be all over this.

I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

To add to that, Android is likely the overwhelming market share of Linux-based operating systems in use today. For that matter, an absolute ton of Intel CPUs have Minux installed on them too, but I wouldn’t call this “on the desktop”, just interesting.

Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don’t see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.

They already have a Windows “S” mode or whatever it’s called that does this. People will reject it, even casual users. I had one person ask me to turn off this mode to their kid could play Roblox. They just want to run apps, they don’t care how they work.

Honestly, there are some apps out there they need complete overhauls or to be completely replaced.

I’m of the opinion that MS will eventually get this right, but it won’t be called Windows 11 by the time it does. The redesign, efforts into command-line and WSL, they are moving in a positive direction, but the ads, bloat, spyware, needs to go. If they can release Win12 or whatever its called with the simplicity of Win11, have the features of Win10 (and finally put a nail in the old interfaces from XP and before), they could have another solid performer like Windows 7.

It’s called “right to repair”, if I’m not mistaken.

I was just using an example, but I was thinking something closer to a device “security status” section in the settings app.

I think calling it DRM is incorrect. I think Apple and its audience belief you should be able to tell if a replacement part could be counterfeit, and possibly have a security vulnerability as a result. However, it should be a one-time notice that a user can dismiss and continue using the phone’s complete functionality.

For example, if someone replaces a camera module, Face ID could technically be compromised. That said, the security for Face ID is on the device itself, and replacing the module with a third-party one, as long as they was made aware it may not be as secure as the original part, let them do what they want with their own device.

EDIT: If it were me, I would want to know a part in my phone is not directly from Apple, but I would still want the ability to determine if I want to continue using the phone like that or straight up replace it. It should be the user’s decision.

I bought the LG G Watch when it was on sale for $80 with a free $50 Google Play gift card. I was worth that price, but, WearOS 2 declared watches without buttons dead, only a few months after I bought my first smartwatch. Google has an enormous history of killing off products, and while I know Android will have a solution to wearables, I don’t see Google supporting WearOS permanently.

Yeah I meant VRS. I have VRS on and Freesync enabled on my monitor. I don’t know why you would have problems unless it’s specific to Nvidia, your monitor, or some other software co-morbidity.

M8, I wasn’t talking about you, just the article.

Got it. Sorry for my confusion!

Awesome! CTD are inexcusable in a AAA game, but in 20+ hours of gameplay that isn’t too terrible.

I can’t say I’ve seen this issue. What GPU are you using, and are you using the latest drivers? What is the VRR setting in the game set to?

That’s great. There are others that are having performance issues though. I hope it gets sorted out for them.
