Fonzie!

I’m running (Ubuntu based) Mint Cinnamon. My laptop came with Ubuntu pre-installed and thus the BIOS pre-configured.

If I put the laptop to sleep and wake it from sleep again, it messed up the fonts but only VEEERY occasionally.

The fingerprint scanner doesn’t work with any of the drivers/software I’ve tried, which is a huge bummer.
When I dual-booted Windows on it for software for school, I noticed it worked splendidly on Windows without any installation.

The battery life went from 11h to 40m during my normal usage, this happened in a span of 4 years.
I’ve replaced the battery with an aftermarket one, which also went from 9h to 2h battery life in about 2.5y.
I’ve rarely had the battery drained below 5%, but it did run until the last percentage the few times it happend (on the original battery)

I’ve never had black screens or screen flickering like you described on this laptop, but putting my desktop PC to sleep on Linux Mint does cause it to wake up to an unrecoverable black screen.
My laptop’s also never had the connectivity issues.
Nor anything else.

My experience has been really good, and I plan to continue using this until even a new battery won’t do good.
That might be due to Mint’s pre-installed software, I don’t know.

I could remember wrong, but doesn’t it just use symlinks?

Not even that, Android is enough of a Linux system they really just needed a repo of natively compiled apps.

Ahh I didn’t know that’s what it’s from!

That’s cool, thanks!

I know right? English spelling/pronunciation makes no sense!

How did this remind you of that?

My vote goes to Arctic Blast

I’ve had that once, as well as some websites running inexplicably slow on FF.

I changed my user agent to a recent Chrome one and that solved it issue.
Moral of the story? Websites are discriminating.

Ew, no, it’s chewy.

I’ve worked in a small company’s small team of 3 devs before, it would not have been great for the company if two or all of us went on a holiday at the same time.

As a centrist, I hate how I get smack from both sides. Rightwings hate me whenever I have leftwing opinions and leftwings hate me whenever I have rightwing opinions.

Or let you down. Or run around, as a matter of fact.

Me too, the synopsis sounds nice, I might check it out!

FWIW, at least Nord and Express explicitly put on their terms and conditions that you’re not allowed to use their services illegally, Nord mentions a few usages including unblocking content that should not be available in your region.

They also give influencers like YouTubers and Twitch streamers scripts telling them to show how you can unblock content, but apparently the T&C weighs far heavier in court.

Just Duck it!

Sir, this is a Bing.

Sing, sing, sing with me!

Which makes a very odd choice for a knife.

(two B’s or no two B’s)

Yeah, I’m wondering as well.
