When I ran dual boot I kept windows on a separate disk to my mint install. I unplugged the mint disk when ever I wanted to boot windows.

Still had the clock issue of course.

my guess would be old.reddit disappearing.

Played UT4 at a few LAN parties circa 2015 - 2018.

Frustrating that they never went back to finish UT4 off after Fortnite BR turned in to a money printer. It felt so close to being ready.

identical environment.

if I tap out words, then they will appear as i hit each letter. if i use swipe, then i get no preview of the word, the word just appears after i lift off and touch another key.

very annoying, cant live without gesture/swipe typing.

I too have mild astigmatism. I used glasses for about 4 years before trying contact lenses. Have been using contacts for 10 years now and i much prefer them.

The non removable Google search bar was one of the reasons I put Graphene on my pixel.

Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.

I wonder if the tasks pane has been added to the new outlook yet. Last time I tried it at work it was no where to be found. I like having my flagged items next to my inbox.

Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.

Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.

I don’t have a search bar on Graphene OS.

This (outsourcing) was already done 20 years ago in my industry. WFH changes nothing.

I have started trialling mega. 20GB free.

So far so good.

One minor annoyance I have had is keepass .kdb files. You can’t just open from mega android, make changes and have it auto save back to the cloud. Have to save out, edit then share back in. There is a autosync app by a third party which I have not tried.

They don’t even provide refunds for purchases where the developer has cut support, degraded the app or removed the app from the store altogether.

I was a long term Nova user also. Have tried a few others since, none of which I liked except Neo, which appears to have issues in 14 too.

Been using android since the first galaxy. Never have I experienced such a fuck up as when I let my pixel 7 pro update to 14. And this is from someone that used to run random custom stuff going back a few years.

Android 14 caused my phone memory to become corrupt and I had no choice but to factory reset, losing everything not synced. Apparently this was due to running two separate user profiles.

Somehow Google was too busy finding ways to get and sell more of our data and forgot to test if this basic feature fucking works.

Not looking forward to Monday when I’ll have to jump through flaming hoops to set up my work micrishaft authenticator / profile / intune crap again.

Other beef with 14, custom launchers are broken. I have never been able to stand the stock launcher, it is like babies first launcher. No customisation options and the stupid search bar can’t be removed. A few apps I use on a regular basis claim to to not be compatible, even though they ran fine for several days in 14 till the whole thing shit itself.

On the UI front I feel as if everything seems to get more bland each release with less interesting customisation than we had circa android 5.

Majority of people here descended from people who arrived well after the colonists. About a third of us were born overseas. Around half have a parent born overseas.

I’ve tried a few times in the past but always come crawling back to windows for gaming.

Last time it was terrible performance in TF2 that did it, this was after battling against fstab, drivers for my sound card and GPU. Oh and USB drives also refused to work.

Next PC build I’ll give dual booting another shot. Will certainly try to get hardware that others have reported as working.

I still run Ubuntu with Kodi on my HTPC and that’s usually good.

I’ll be very surprised if our govt does anything positive when it comes to digital rights. The current shower of arseholes in government supported the previous even bigger shower of arseholes to pass diabolical legislation like data retention and assistance and access bills.

I have one of those keyboards too. The track pad on it is way better than others I have tried.

For controlling kodi though I mostly use Kore from a phone.
