That was my plan, but since GrapheneOS is based on Google’s Android 16 code I’d expect it to have the same bugs.

Not surprised Apple’s market share is improving.

I bought a Pixel 10 and Google’s software quality control is laughable. Ridiculously simple things just don’t work properly. For instance Google has broken Bluetooth for some common devices, USB won’t connect at all to some computers, and audio players are killed to save battery even when the phone is plugged in.

Never thought I’d consider an Apple but an Iphone my will be my next purchase.

Haven’t tried that yet. For now I’ve blocked most of Roku’s BS with Adguard Home.

Roku is every bit as bad. They bricked all customer’s previously purchased TVs by implementing a new user agreement through their UI without warning. It couuld not be bypassed. Opting out required first opting in, agreeing to those new terms and then mailing a letter within a very short window with explicit, detailed requirements.

My next TV won’t be connected to the Internet and definitely won’t be a Roku or Visio product.

This is the best flan we’ve ever had. It’s also the best our friends in Mexico have ever tasted. They had thirds.

The only reason Microsoft is doing anything is their enterprise customers have had enough of their BS.

HP is a garbage company. My laptops typically last until the hardware is well past obsolete, but not HP’s crap. My HP X360 laptop’s motherboard failed completely and the hinges just fell apart for the 2nd time. This POS didn’t last for 3 years of occasional use. Never again.

Next step: When a 3rd party cartridge is detected HP will degrade print quality just enough to make them unusable while blaming the cartridge manufacturers for the problem.

When I get to 20 or so I have to start closing some tabs to keep track of things. How do you find the tab you’re looking for when you have that many open?

I’m running Mint on an 8GB laptop and I’m surprised by just how much can be running at one time. Right now I’m running Firefox with 10 open tabs, Waterfox with 8 tabs, Thunderbird, Keepass, Calibre, Signal, a Whatsapp client, Syncthing, Libreoffice Writer with 2 open docs & Calc with 2 open small spreadsheets, a couple of terminals and Gedit, and didn’t even notice it until came across these comments. A friend who uses Windows 11 says 32GB is recommended now.

Microsoft must be thrilled with age verification being required at the OS level. What a great way to lock people into their Microslop garbage.

The tech industry will get to keep refunds of the of tariffs they’ve collected AND will make more money automating the distribution of those refunds to themselves.

Sounds like the tech industry is in tariff heaven.

I’ve spent years there and have direct, personal experience. You’ve maybe seen a headline, likely haven’t ever been there (or out of the country for that matter), and want to play pigeon chess. Not going to waste any more time on you.

There is always someone online who claims to be an expert on subjects he knows nothing about. Today you’re an expert on Mexico because of reasons.

You know people are regularly abducted and trafficked from major cities around the world, right? Right?

These AI features won’t come cheaply, with Windows 12 set to debut a new hardware requirement just as its predecessor did with the TPM 2.0 requirement. This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.

Requiring new hardware for AI when there’s already a serious SSD and memory shortage caused by AI? What could possibly go wrong?

Next up: Microslop will file lawsuits to shut down Linux distribution.

“Better Off Ted” is really funny and still holds up.

There are extensions to enable copy/paste when a website has disabled them. I’ve been using Don’t Fuck With Paste (Github) for a long time and it mostly works but it hasn’t been updated in years. There are other options in the Chrome store.

Sorry I wasn’t clear - I should have worded it differently. I meant to infer that I was referring to whomever did.

Does “the feds” include Amazon?

Gotta laugh at the downvotes. Maybe you’d like to be her tech support?
