Well, theft has never been the best foundation for a business, has it?

History would suggest otherwise.

I’ve used Shutup10 on my Windows partitions for years. Surprised I didn’t see it mentioned here.

Good control over copilot and any other Wndows nastiness.

Run it after every Windows update. MS loves sneakily re-enabling some settings.

Netherlands is part of the Nine eyes. They know exactly what your activities are.

Whether they choose to chase you down is a different issue.

My password logbook caught on fire, and half my passwords were burnt. I lost the other half when I threw a bucket of water on it to put the fire out. 😟

I can’t order food. I can’t buy things. I can’t get money.

0/5. Send help.

The stupid attempt to have everyone leave bluetooth always on pisses me off. They’ve made the BT quick tile 2 more presses to toggle on or off is ridiculous. It’s not a quick tile.

I’ve just put a BT on/off widget on my home screen.

anything not Google or Samsung is, as it’s always been, software support.

Motorola.has 5 years on most of its new phones nowadays

I had a similar moment of clarity after troubles with Manjaro and a couple other Arch based distros.

I really like the idea of a rolling release, but definitely nedd stability first.

I swung back the other way, and jumped on Ubuntu LTS. And gradually over time I ended up having to get updates from external repos etc, and ended up in the same position where updates broke things or didn’t work.

Currently running Ubuntu, and I just do an upgrade to the latest release each 6 months - after waiting a month after release date for everything to settle down. The upgrades to new releases have gone smoothly, I get updates to newer versions of software, and it’s been very rare anything breaks. Being a popular distro also means a big community to help with any issues as well.

Dammit, it’s like I just wrote an ad for Ubuntu!

I.asked grok to extract some it’s code to use:

if text contains ('elon' or 'hitler') then
replace 'bad' with 'good'
endif

Can you show an example of one from 3 years ago?

Because my experience was that most ROMs were based on AOSP/ LineageOS , which supports very few Samsung phones, and no flagships since the 2018 S10.

And even of those, many didn’t support IMS/VoLTE/VoWiFi which made them useless in any geos that didn’t have 3G fallback for voice. You can’t make or receive phone calls.

You will need to add on the price for a new battery replacement on a 3 year old Sammy lol

Wait, are we moving on from vim vs emacs?

Reread my comment.

“On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.”

That’s why I have to manually remove them to choose a better nvidia driver.

I can’t say it any clearer

You misunderstood what I wrote.

I didn’t manually install anything.

On my machine, Ubuntu upgrade/install AND sudo ubuntu-drivers install BOTH flag the drivers Ubuntu installed as manually installed.

When you go to the Additional Drivers, it says you have manually installed drivers and all options are greyed out.

Why do I want another driver? I found the open driver Ubuntu chose to install was flaky and provided substandard performance compared to the proprietary driver.

And I have my commands to remove drivers, and for reference, the commands you give won’t help a noob, and your steps are incomplete for earlier Ubuntu versions.

Ubuntu Additional Drivers offered me a choice between 11 different nvidia drivers.

nouveau,and then a mishmash of nvidia versions, open, proprietary and server.

Like OP was probably trying to do, had to manually remove the existing driver before you could select anything. All those options were greyed out because of a ‘manual installed driver’

And guess what did this ‘manual installed driver’? Me? No. Ubuntu’s own uograde or running the command for ubuntu to select the ‘besr driver’.

Fortunately, I’d been through nvidia hell several times, and knew how to manually perform the removal and install, but felt horrified for any new users that might stumble into this. With changing versions, it can be difficult when searching to work out which results are actually relevant, and which are obsolete.

Always remember anything with a wildcard is your enemy. Triple check before you can trust it and hit enter.

No, they said it was Felicity in chocolate

Sheesh!

And people are celebrating it now being able to record your screen 🤣

Been using Magic Earth with Android Auto, and it’s been working great. I prefer it over Organic Maps. While I prefer Organic’s privacy focus, it was laggy on my phone and search also was more fussy and difficult to find things.

I love offline maps. I only have data enabled when I want internet access.

Magic Earth can do directions for walking without data enabled. Google Maps with an offline map still requires data to generate a route for walking.

My job here is done 😉
