What's the circumvention tool ? Just a simple yt-dlp ? Look mom, I'm a hacker !

That's what ? 5000m altitude ? A lot of people have taken their phone to the summit of Mt Blanc...

Nope. I drive like a grampa. I actually spend way more time on my bike. Which doesn't beep at me. Yet.

Some things like an unclosed door signal are super useful, but some things are so annoying... Last time I rented a car in the US, I had to stop and read the manual after a mile because it was unbearable: it beeped when a car was passing me, it beeped if I didn't use my turn signal *after* passing a car (who does that ?), it vibrated in a scary way if I got close to any line, it beeped if I got 1mph over what it *thought* was the speed limit (many streets were wrong), and so many other things. I spent 15 mins in the manual to disable it all, and it was like 5am for me due to jet lag.

I want to note that it's long been possible to make a solar fridge at night. You know the solar ovens that use a parabola of mirrors and heat water or a sausage at the focal point if you point it at the sun ? Well, if you point it vertically at the night sky on a clear night, the black body radiation emitted by your water at the focal point will all flow to the sky and it will cool a lot faster that if it was simply lying on the ground.

That's the thing: it's a matter of preference. I like that on KDE I can put the task/menu bar anywhere I want. I hated that on Windows it HAD to be at the bottom; well I don't care anymore because I don't even have a remnant of Windows anywhere. On those long narrow screens I put it on the right and it it's a VM it goes on the left, so this way if I'm in a maximized VM I know immediately.

If the bank where you've had an account for 20 years without overdraft doesn't trust you, then who will ?

I could never get over the fact that if you've never borrow money and never used a credit card, you have a shit credit score...!?! It should be a perfect credit score instead ! I borrowed money for the 1st time when I was 35 and I had only ever used debit cards before and I couldn't find anything better than a 17% rate loan. What a fucking ripoff.

Wasn't the portable Windows market already dead and buried 20 years ago ? Or was it more ? I can't even remember the name of that version of Windows !

I remember looking at ReactOS in the early 2000 when I wanted to wean off the MS tit, but I found it severely lacking and decided to just jump completely to Linux, Gentoo first and then Kubuntu; only keeping an XP in a VM. I don't know how much it's improved since then...

I too have never heard of this. Maybe it's the crap that's on the 'Left 1st page' or whatever it's called, that I disable first on any phone I own or get my hands on.

Ha, okay thanks for the info. I don't use Wayland because I haven't been able to get VNC to work with it for remote connections; and I haven't found other solutions than X11.

I've never heard of "plasma login manager". I've had SDDM on various machines for quite a while (don't remember what it was before); and I've been using KDE for well over 2 decades. I just searched for it in the kubuntu repo and couldn't find it.

No, they pay for themselves at 10x the price other countries do. That's what you get for having a rich country, in parts, but mostly this is due to shit 'health insurance' that grift their customers, and in turn get shafted by the drug companies. Vaccines (and 90% of drugs) are cheap in the rest of the world.

How are you sure that selecting B&W on your printer won't print the yellow dots anyway ?
