  • Mercedes-Benz scales back electric ambitions as EV pessimism grows

    跳过

  • Finally someone sees common sense. EV's simply do not make sense. Petrol is the way to go. Just make the engines cleaner and leaner.

    For the majority of the planet, petrol is far more accessible and affordable than electricity.

    I'm sticking with petrol no matter what they say

  • They seem to be doing more on that side than Canonical is. But I agree, it should be MANDATORY that the developer is thoroughly vetted and approved and the code run and checked before publishing.

    I hope this is a wake up call for Snaps and Flatpaks.

    Apps from the repo have the security, which is why I always default to the distribution repo

  • Scam bitcoin Snap app!

    跳过

  • That's is the genuine one. There is a genuine company called Exodus for Crypto. The problem is that a scammer made their own clone and nobody verified whether they really are from the Exodus company.

    If you check the manifest on Flathub you'll see they verified it belongs to the real Exodus

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    跳过

  • Settled on Linux Mint Debian Edition.

    I just want reliability, a beautiful desktop and great support. Plus 100% community based - Debian + Cinnamon.

    No corps like canonical or red hat and no heavy maintenance routine like Arch.

  • Smartphone Keyboard Information Bonanza: What's available and what's best for your needs

    跳过

  • I've been through quite a few keyboards both open source and closed and they pretty much all suck. In the end I found Gboard to be the only viable option.

    I did go into settings and disable all the data sharing, uploading/downloading options so in theory it should send nothing to the cloud.

    It's swipe typing is also best of the rest at the moment. I swipe type 99% of the time

  • Thanks to OpenAI, it's never been clearer that Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer

    跳过

  • I agree. It's time Sundar hits retirement and they put someone more visionary at the top.

    Google has become seriously stale.

    I was just remembering how back in 2010 on my iPhone 4S I could receive a text message while driving and tell Siri to read it to me, with no internet connection. And it would, and I could reply by Siri as well

    But my current Android phone (I love Android it's really great overall) cannot do that if I don't have an internet connection!

    Why??? Why haven't they baked certain basic offline capabilities into Assistant and only need internet for search queries? Makes no sense but it's one of those small indicators that Sundar is not paying attention.

  • I'm working on a distro recommendation flowchart/ list for newcomers and need your input please! (Post is not only this picture btw and is mainly text)

    跳过

  • As long as Mint is at the top I don't care what's underneath 😁

  • Is there a downside to Flatpak?

    跳过

  • It's HUGE. That's the biggest downside for me. I'm always use a deb/native package first because they are way smaller.

  • I'm ready to install Linux, but I'd like your opinion first

    跳过

  • I'd say avoid Wayland for now. There's no real benefit to it at the moment and at least your card works with X11. If the Linux Mint team are happy to wait and just test it out at the moment, that tells me that is the way to go.

    Not sure what bloat people mentioned but Linux doesn't have bloat. The distro chooses their preferred apps which they hope everyone will like but it's easy to remove them if you don't and use the app you want. If it's a system app (.deb, rpm etc) it will barely take up any space anyway. Only flatpaks and snaps take up huge amount of space. I wouldn't recommend using alot of those as you'll be pressed for disk space

    Linux doesn't require maintenance. It typically just works. It's not like Windows where you run a cleaner every so often. Just just use it normally and don't work about it.

    What I wish I knew at the start: Linux Mint is the best distro. I wasted a lot of time distro hopping only to realise I just want a stable distro that gets out of the way but is thoughtfully put together with nice touches. Mint is that. I use Linux Mint Debian Edition because I don't like canonical.

    It's been rock solid except for when the kernel broke my WiFi, but I had a time shift backup so in 5 minutes I had my pre-update system back and working.

  • The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years

    跳过

  • No offence but I don't think this phone will be any good in a few years because of the CPU choice.

    If it's already sluggish now, what will it be like in 5 years? Unusable.

  • Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News

  • Very ironic.

    That's why I just tell it to be full by morning because I purposely bought a phone with a great battery . Why would I want to hamper it by 20%???

  • Instead of using robots to replace menial jobs and help humans who have physical labour jobs, they've invented a tool that will get rid of all white collar jobs, forcing us all into manual, low paid labour jobs.

    Taxes will fall off a cliff and life will get really bad because the state won't have money to maintain the country. Companies making Ai content won't be able to sell it because no one can has money to buy it. In general all product sales will fall off a cliff, except for food, and many companies will close, resulting in mass unemployment and eventually collapse of society .....

    Great job morons!

  • Cisco to lay off more than 4,000 employees to focus on artificial intelligence

  • Another idiot company who seriously thinks this will work. All that will happen is the remaining employees will have to work twice as hard to keep things afloat but the CEO will give Ai the credit....

  • They talk about Apple but Sony phones have had this feature for a while. In the settings you can choose whether the phone is always 100% charged, or whether it charges to 80% (or a custom %) or whether you want it full by the time you wake up.

    I use the 3rd option. It stops charging when it gets to 90% and I tell it when I'm getting up, and just before it will charge up to 100 %.

    Best of both worlds. Only ever having 80% to start is not nice because you get less juice during the day and need to charge by the evening. Plus battery anxiety. I'd rather have a 100% full battery.

    Clearly newer, better battery tech is needed. Plus replaceable batteries.

  • Apple is ahead but Qualcomm is not far behind. Plus even the current chips are already powerful enough for this stuff. A Snapdragon Gen 3 should be able to power a headset I would have thought.
