Yeah, no point supporting something that has become obsolete. Foss community often puts effort in as passion, but a business will not want technical debt and move on to the next hardware support
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t suffer the trots from spicy food. If I make a Thai Curry I will put 5 Thai chillies in it. Could just be what my body is used to, but could also be people who struggle might be combo of not used to spice in their system and not eating a lot of veg or iber then have an Indian lentil meal or something?

Windows11 is trying to do just that; having a minimum spec chip, so they could eventually drop support for a lot of older hardware. But PCs are so modular that you can pretty much add any hardware together and the OS (such as Linux) can figure out the packages you need to make it all run…but even Linux has dropped a lot of 32bit support in the last few years. So it happens, just at a much longer time frame

Add Stract.com it is a little behind in web crawling of current info, but the results are like how google used to be around 2010. Just relevant content info, no ads (yet) and occasional randomness

As a former Brit, we like crunch in sandwiches by adding potato chips to them.

You usually have to go barefoot to get traction while not ruining the membrane with shoes. From your breathing the ball gets humid and sweaty inside, they end up stinking like feet. You hope you are the first person to use it at an event and not the last

If you like the smell of feet

Hey, why are you hating on us old guys, I enjoyed Pokemon…and its precursor Ingress.
Its more about each human is unique.
Our neighbour sometimes hangs out with us, we are mid 50, they are 30. We are younger minded and they are older than their age, like they go home and knit etc.

- Comment on Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable - The Oatmeal 1 month ago:
This is for colour printers for sure, to prevent counterfitting. Many black and white only didn’t have fingerprinting, previously anyway. The printers serial number and manufacturer is coded. They don’t need to change anything, its done by the printer (serial, Mac, model)
- Comment on Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable - The Oatmeal 1 month ago:
This is not why printers are terrible. Printers are terrible because they don’t follow a standard protocol.

Ha. I had a coworker gift me a high end amp because the volume was all crackly. Opened it up sprayed electronic cleaner on the volume rheostat thingy and gave it a few back and forth turns. Perfect sound. I offered it back but he’d already purchased a new one. :/
- Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons 2 months ago:
There are a few distros that make gaming on Linux a bit simpler to setup. Bazzite is one, but there are others. You should read up on WINE, Vulkan, Lutris and maybe STEAM/Steam-tricks. There is a list somewhere of game titles and peoples success with gaming on Linux. Some of the ones that expect Windows Anticheat hooks aren’t going to work. If you aren’t wanting to fiddle till your system is setup to game nicely, there is a W10 LTSC version that will still be supported for some time.

Craigslist–> Forsale–> Free section. Sometimes it is junk posted, but often there are great things people just want to give away knowing it will go to good use. We have given and received from there.

We are lucky, we get two free. Technically they aren’t true static, its tied to MAC of your modem, or your router(s) – with ISP modem in bridge mode. You can pay for true static, but I have probably had the same IP for 5 years, and same with the modem/routerbeforre this one.

Compared to Proprietary Closed Source that has its own security issues, malicious code, and also leverages Open Source too. Guess which one is better and transparent

This is why a government needs an actual technical expert. What UK has done is make icloud less safe for everyone, while the “criminal” activity they seem to want to be privy to will force criminals to use another method of data transfer/securing.
