  • Discussion: Samsung kills the MicroSD card slot for their latest Midrange/Budget A-Series phones. What do you think about the future of MicroSD Card Slots? Will other manufacturers all follow suit?

    Jump

  • First SanDisk, then Samsung. The Samsung ones usually lasted a bit longer.

    I think the Card that has held up the longest (still in use, currently in some Raspberry Pi) is one from SiliconPower. Also, some Samsung 128 and 256 cards (from their Endurance Series I think) that I gave away to a friend who uses them in her camera.

  • I gotta admit I don't really care. Back when I used MicroSD Cards in my phone, they kept dying, and even midrange phones now have more internal storage then I need.

    I can see why people want the option, but I personally haven't missed it.

  • Needed a new phone charger. Bought European

  • Didn't know they where German. My main association with them is that their stuff is kinda ass.

  • YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.

  • Recently needed to set up a Win11 VM. It worked after removing the network adaptor from the VM setup, and then using the bypassnro command.

    Fucking Microsoft.

  • European SSDs

    Jump

  • Kinda depends on what you mean by produced. From what I can see, the modules are assembled in Europe, which makes them more European than other RAM, I guess.

  • I don't see why today's chicken would necessarily be more stable than a chicken precursor. If you look at the way chickens changed in the last few decades, you'll probably find that it happened much faster than ever before, making them less stable, I'd argue.

  • I see these MFs on a daily basis

  • I'm sure it's a common enough occurrence in a community with lots of computer nerds.

    I do recognise that there are a lot of usecases in which Linux isn't currently the sensible choice for most users, but I also feel the ready/not ready thing is quite as clear cut. While I'm obviously rather biased, I do genuinely think that there is a subset of casual users that would do better with Linux than with Windows.

    I could talk about how Windows has been a lot more problematic for me than Linux, but that has been mainly down to driver issues with a specific network adapter, and we both know that isn't the reason I prefer Linux anyway.

  • I've put Fedora on my mum's pc after it became clear that Win10 will EoL soon, and that Win11 would refuse to run on it. Have had significantly fewer support requests since then.

    Her work is mostly done via Citrix, which has an official Fedora Client. Everything else happens in the Browser, or sometimes in OnlyOffice, which so far has worked as a drop-in replacement for MS Office.

    As always, it really depends on the use case.

  • Also, KaWeCo. Not quite as big, but really neat fountain pens.

  • Honestly - I think end to end encrypted email isn't that important, as long as you don't ensure that your recipients are also using end to end encrypted solutions. Still, one should keep in mind that this isn't, which limits it's use for sensitive applications.

    On the other hand, end to end encryption for file storage seems vital to me, and the only thing I'd use these 3 tb for is already encrypted archives and backups.

  • Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?

    Jump

  • I don't think the average user thinks much about the platform they're on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.

    Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren't really - you'd have to actively go search for them. People just aren't likely to do that, I don't think.

  • Multiple Teslas set on fire in Germany

    Jump

  • Yeah, sure. Just don't look at the last election results.

  • Oops, something went wrong!

    Jump

  • In theory, maybe. In practice, I've had a lot of errors in that vein that very much wouldn't go away, and where made much harder to diagnose by their obtuseness.

    Honestly, I even dislike the mindset. Just make a big header with the generic error message and a little one below that gives some details. Having users interested in how your software works is not a bad thing.

  • please and thank you

  • Yeah, I get it. But I always feel including outfit elements I like on others for myself is really fun.

  • Maybe you should wear more suspenders.

  • From what op wrote, they have a list of brand names they wants to avoid. Asking about doritos, and searching for it in a table, would have about the same result from that starting point.
