I want to migrate my dad from Windows to Linux but when I tried it 6 months ago using Ubuntu I couldn't drag a webpage icon to the desktop using Firefox reliably through its LiveCD.

Is this possible on Linux Mint using Firefox and Chromium? The behavior must be consistent between browsers in case he uses one or another. My dad relies on this functionality and typing commands into a CLI won't be convenient for him.

I have struggled with how best to approach my variant of the problem - I don’t switch phones regularly, but I do carry a spare on international trips where they don’t have Verizon stores. I would have to find WiFi to provision the backup phone with the Verizon app.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

If you've spent any time on the Chyrosran22 Youtube channel you'll find IBM's beamspring switch keyboards have better feel than Model Fs. The Model Fs were a cost-reduced version of the beamspring, like the Model Ms were a cost-reduced version of the Model F.

Aside from the higher pitch sound of the Model F over the M, a benefit of Fs is their capacitance design allows true n-key rollover whereas Ms only have 2-key rollover. But Model Fs are more finicky of electrical ground connections.

In five minutes every four hours? Sounds like you're already in the future.

I don't drive 600 miles without stopping. I could, however, completely understand not refueling in that time.

I expect to stop after about an hour or two on the road to use the toilet. After that, about every 4 hours until I'm there. I don't know if you've done much driving in the US, but the vast majority of our highways don't have service plazas such as are common in most of Europe. You actually have to exit the highway and find a gas station (or, if EV, charger). The only Tesla Supercharger in my area is in a place that makes sense from the company's perspective (fringes of an outlet mall parking lot, ready access to high-power lines), and yes, we all have GPS now, but it's decidedly not a minor detour to get to. From getting into the exit lane from the highway to being at the charger is a solid five minutes' drive each way, during which time you will pass two large truck stops that have all the amenities that long-haul truckers need (showers, e.g.) as well as a large selection of snacks and drinks, which the Supercharger doesn't - you'll have to walk to the outlet mall's food court. And once you're at the charger, it's outside and uncovered. Enjoy baking your car in the sun or soaking yourself if it's raining.

Anyway, the whole point from my perspective about insane range isn't how often I use it fully. I don't use up the 600-mile range of my wife's car (what we use for trips) fully, but 600 miles at ~80 mph with air conditioning or heating on probably corresponds to an 800-mile theoretical max range (at most-efficient speed, no climate control used). It's that I can count on 3/4 of that without worrying about it. And since you're going to protect your battery by keeping it between 10-80% most of the time, you're already limiting yourself to 70% of total capacity for typical driving.

I agree that charging that was as fast as fueling an ICE car would go a long way to mitigating that issue, but I still don't want every single bathroom stop to be 15-20 minutes (exit highway, drive to station, fuel/charge, drive to highway, get back on) when they could be ~5 minutes at a rest stop that just has bathrooms, not gasoline. Nor, once I've settled in for some serious miles, do I want to be forced to stop every 2.5-3 hours.

One person has little incentive. A trucking company does, because they drive millions of miles a year and little things add up.

It should say GOP Tariff Tax.

That was his stance until Google "copied" iOS. After that Android was a stolen product from iOS.

It's fine when he does it from others, not when others do it to him.

The CX8, has the ability to be installed in a PCIe Gen5 system that occupies 2 x16 slots through an auxiliary PCIe connection card. This ability began with their ConnectX-6 when they started to support Gen4.

Buy now, before they can afford to throw a cellular connection in there. I have a TCL TV. It’s technically smart, but it has no network connection (my guest WLAN is password-protected), so it’s just a display for my TiVO and my AppleTV. Picture is good. Sound has a strange bug that causes it to go quiet or even silent every once in a while, but a reboot fixes that. I could get a dumb commercial display for 4-5x the cost, but I don’t need commercial durability, just the dumb part.

I downloaded Zen when it was announced and copied my profile over to it. Aside from side tabs, it works the same.

This claim is just silly. I've never seen a clerk record serial numbers with purchases before. What serial number would they write from coins? Oh, of course, the date of mint.

You and me may relish the idea of having our own nucular reactor, but I’ll betcha that many executive may feel skittish at the idea
