Cookies and fingerprinting, yes

Gotta prove there was evidence on the phone in the first place, which would take forensic work to do and be not worth the work in the majority of cases

Plus it would annoy them, and that’s the real goal here

If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played

smashing printers with baseball bats

I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

What the fuck is wrong with printers

Premiere Pro runs smoother on Linux than on Win7-10 ever did

After effects felt the same as PP

So far I haven’t run into any program wine/bottles can’t run. Closest I got was needing to install a second program through wine and run them through the same prefix which is not hard at all

best replacement for Excel

I’ve never met a google sheet that couldn’t do what excel did unless excel was being made to do shit it really isn’t ideal for

Yeah it’s another Corp, but you don’t have to pay and you can simultaneously edit the file on 80 devices at the same time if you want

This remains my #1 complaint every time they send me a “how are we doing” survey

I check, then reply:

Your email app still doesn’t support basic functionality like creating and editing filters, something I had to code for a phone app back in high school

Like, holy shit, the feature exists on desktop why the fuck can’t I have it in the app rreeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all

In your opinion, maybe

I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never

Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em

If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video

Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere

Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉

Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?

Just because it’s low priority doesn’t mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes

Most people would roll their eyes and move on

Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to

and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by

this is a website for posting things

Deep, complex reasons

If only there were some save for later button so you could come back later or something

Yeah, figured people would downvote me for pointing out that was a garbage response

Videos don’t degrade the quality of s link aggregator, you’re not required to immediately participate the moment you see it

in my opinion they don’t contribute to the quality here.

As respectfully as possible: huh?

We’re on a link aggregation site, for posting links to things off-site and discuss them in relevant communities

If something is a video or article it makes no difference on its quality or relevance to the community at hand, no?

I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean

You used words that mean something. If your half baked mind has invented new meanings for the word that’s on you, not me

You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now

I never wasn’t

No point discussing anything.

You’d have to be coherent for that first

I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”

ESL or just pretending like you don’t know those are the same thing?

I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.

Theyre literally just using the words to describe what is happening, why are you being weird about it?

Getting hardcore incel vibes from your attitude, might wanna work on that

Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won’t work in a VM, anyway

Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows

Almost like they asked about a specific site and not the concept of link aggregators or something

I don’t have porn just lying around, thank you very much

It’s all seeding for the other degenerates, doing hard work

Did a quick google and the first review that came up shows that’s not true at all, it’s the exact same process on a kindle as it is a Kobo, though you and this review are both really over-selling it:

Getting ebooks from other stores onto the device is also a hassle. You have to plug the e-reader into your computer and drag and drop files (though Calibre, the ebook management app, does make it a scootch easier). But that problem isn’t unique to Kobo. Amazon and Barnes & Noble also insist you sideload books.

The real reason seems to be that the Kobo is cheaper, honestly, don’t see why the kindle is that much more

Use VLC to view the video feed for your cams, better experience overall for that

It is, I think?

It also does button mapping and supports Corsair shit out of the box, so it’s what I use it for. I planned to use it for the RGB portion as well but it didn’t support other devices and OPEN RGB is right there so I use that for lighting and CKB for mouse buttons and DPI config, smooth as butter experience compared to ICUE never fucking saving anything to memory no matter HOW HARD I TRY WHY ICUE WHY
