  • Cheap Portable USB Touch Monitors - any experiences?

    Jump

  • I had a small one like 1024x600, it was powered by USB-C (that carries the touchscreen signal) and it was mini-HDMI. It worked first try in Windows or Linux, nothing special to do, just plug 2 cables. It had stereo speakers too, a rocker switch on the side to set volume, brightness, etc with a menu like TV.

  • 35 difference in Terrebonne riding in QC, Liberals won.

  • China tells US to ‘cancel all unilateral tariffs’ if it wants talks

    Jump

  • That Chinese people buys lots of american stuff like trucks and all ? I guess?

  • The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G will get updates until 2031, but it already feels outdated to me

    Jump

  • PoCo F3, it is 4 years old, was a bomb at the time for ~$400

  • Another Con Text…

    Jump

  • We do not have them in Québec, mostly because CON is a lost cause here, and anyway they would write SMS in english, it's an automatic red flag here to receive SMS in english.

  • budget phones have a bad reputation.

    They are slow as hell... A quick reference is antutu benchmark... this brand new A36 has a score of ~550k, my 2021 old phone has ~800k and it is still snapy and all, but no more update, so it's a choice...

  • i use edit.com, notepad and geany btw

    Jump

  • yup, used pico with pine 30 years ago (I'm old) and switch to nano of course, I still use nano about daily (linux maintaining, config file, etc)

  • I hate these new lights on cars so so much, instant flash bangs.

    Jump

  • In Canada we have mandatory DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and often, cars use high beam with a low voltage or PWM. When people replace their standard bulbs with LED bulb, it means during the day you are flashed by high beam in your eyes, even in full summer at noon you can be completely blinded by cars coming towards you, it's fucking annoying!

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Nickelodeon Slime Edition

    Jump

  • I still have my old HP Mini311 netbook, AntiX or Linux MX 32bits works well on it.

  • China retaliates against Trump in trade war with 34% tariffs on US imports

    Jump

  • So AliExpress will be dead for USA?

  • We should talk more about air-conditioning

    Jump

  • Of course, but there would not be millions/billions of people at that latitude without A/C

  • We should talk more about air-conditioning

    Jump

  • It is a vicious cycle, yes, but I think it changed the world. Without A/C we would not have SOCAL, Florida, Texas, etc. or India or others.

  • This is the Motorola Edge 60 Pro

    Jump

  • How many years of security/os support?

  • U.S. Puts Its Stealthiest Big Bombers in Range of Iran and Yemen

    Jump

  • USA does this to own European?

  • Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?

    Jump

  • I'm using MX Linux AHS, it is Debian based, it is always up to date, like latest firefox a few hours after it's out, kernel 6.12.17 as of today, etc.

    It has no systemd, no snap, no flatpak. It just uses the good old .deb and everything is working fine.

  • China’s defence ministry warns Taiwan ‘we will get you, sooner or later’

    Jump

  • China just want the land anyway :-/

  • China’s defence ministry warns Taiwan ‘we will get you, sooner or later’

    Jump

  • How this ends is of course unclear

    ??? It is pretty clear, unfortunately, China will take Taiwan in the coming months/years, and USA will do absolutely nothing.

  • Will this Lenovo Thinkpad (AMD) work well with linux, or should I go intel?

    Jump

  • It should work pretty well, I have a AMD 5600H and runs "MX Linux AHS" for 3 years now

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • Got like 3 feet of snow in 3 or 4 days, I stayed at home, good :)

  • What's your favorite DE, and what does your workflow look like?

    Jump

  • old school here, started with X Terminal and motif (mwm) and played with twm of fvwm last century. I have always like Xfwm/Xfce because it is simple and it works. I have the start menu/quick launches, the button bar where windows appears, and the icon area, a little bit like windows 95. No icons on my desktop.
