I mean, that’s fair.

Adobe does anti-consumer shit. More at 11.

I’d laugh if this wasn’t affecting me directly.

What would you suggest then? They’ve been unable to sustain themselves via donations alone.

Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn’t the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary “evil”.

I just recently had a wfh user ship me one of his monitors back because we had exhausted every thing I could think of troubleshooting-wise. When it arrived I unboxed it, plugged it in and the damn thing worked fine. I followed up with him and finally realized he had been trying to push the damn power LED instead of the actual power button.

Meanwhile Windows regularly gets hung up for several minutes on the “shutting down…” screen for no fucking reason. Only happens when I’m in a hurry too.

On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.

I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.

It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.

That’s it exactly. Most consumer camera gear uses H.264/H.265 for video and AAC for audio in an MP4 container and the free version of Davinci Resolve just doesn’t support that on Linux. (But does on Windows)

Unfortunately the free version on Linux doesn’t support H.264/H.265 and even the paid version doesn’t support AAC so using Resolve requires you to transcode if you’re using any normal consumer camera.

Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.

Worth noting that the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn’t support H.264/H.265 under Linux. You will need to use another format or pay for the full version. ($295)

I’ve had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.

I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.

It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.

Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)

Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.
