I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

This is just a theory, I don’t have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.
This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.
The same wasn’t observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they’re being caused by telemetry
Uhh do we know if this extends to sites.google.com?
My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can’t wait to send this to him.
I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could’ve gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it
I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don’t want my home folder to be called "myema"il@email.com
Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!
Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖
I’ve since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I’m extremely excited to see this news after I’ve slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.
I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well
You’ll always have the option to keep it blank. Meanwhile other (myself included) like to have some information at a glance that doesn’t require us to unlock our phones
Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work
As far as I’m aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you’re always stuck with Roku’s ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI
Roku is not android based, and doesn’t have an accessible ADB interface or similar
HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away
I’ll have to look into this a bit more. The guy at the end of the comment chain says his chromium stuff is still flickering, but I’ll give it a whirl when I don’t strictly need a working dev environment :P
Installed neon on an external drive. Liked it so much I cloned it to my internal drive. Spent 4 hours trying to diagnose why I was being dropped to a grub shell every time I tried to boot. Apparently the bootloader ID was fine being “neon” on the external drive but had to be “Ubuntu” on the internal drive or grub wouldn’t find it. Fucking infuriating, but I like plasma 6!
Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes
I can load a pirated copy onto a modded console, does that mean that Nintendo is liable for their software being used for piracy?
Well this isn’t the news I wanted to hear from this…
SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support
