No BTW in that post. I call fake.

That was my first CD burner. I’ve actually punched cards, programmed on a PDP11 on a tty, loaded programs from a cassette and still have a handful of 8" floppies somewhere, but thank you for the “young one” 😊

12x! DVDs!!?

My first recorder was a 1X caddy unit.

Get off my lawn.

BTW?

Doesn’t having WSL under the hood negate Linux’s inherent security?

I’d much rather have Windows shit containerized within Linux.

Winboat looks nice. I’m planning to play with it today. I’m also going to try distro box etc. Wish me a happy Virt-day. (yeah, yeah, I know where thee door is.)

Microsoft has historically shipped Alpha versions, followed by Betas, in paid software.

I’ve had several French cars, starting with an R4. That one was good, did exactly what it was designed to do. Next I had Talbot Horizon, an american (Chrysler) car with a very good diesel engine. Then I had a Peugeot 505, that had a good engine that was over complicated to the extreme, to the point that the oli overflow pipe litrelly crossed over from one side of the engine to the other, a truly brain dead design. Also the electrics in the back were literally routed under the rear light seals, so a seal failure meant that the electrical system shorted when it rained, the central locking and windows actuators had similar design flaws.

I also had a Xara, which had several secondary ecus, which had to be progressively eliminated , until I sent the thing to the scrap yard, out of despair, despite having a sound body and engine.

I’m in Europe, and I sometimes play the game of observing how many old cars (15+ years) I spot by nationality. Plenty of German, Spanish, Czech, Japanese and Korean. Very few Italian or French.

My daily driver now is a 26 year old Skoda. I do all maintenance. In nearly 500.000 km, it has had zero major failures. A few minor things, starter (Bosch), two window regulators, a CV joint, and the usual, belts, clutch, brake pads… Consumables. I love how logical the engine bay is.

Why didn’t they pour money on Jitsi?

European, mature, FOSS…

I fear grift is there somewhere.

Also, French engineering has a habit of turning sound concepts into messy overengineerd but underbuilt results.

17 years is prehistory in IT years. Basing your comments on experiences from nearly 2 decades ago is just plain useless

I’ve used random Linux based video editors in the past, like 15-17 years ago. They were… Not great.

Would you mind rereading your first sentence?

Random? 17 years ago?

. And players that want to avoid the issue can use the Steam Machine’s DisplayPort 1.4 output, which supports even more bandwidth than HDMI 2.1 (and which can be converted to an HDMI signal with a simple dongle).

So, ship with a dongle.

Us nerds don’t buy laptops?

I don’t either, but there are many in my family and friends I will gladly support.

I have been a Serif user since the early 2000’s and Affinity since V 1

I love the suite, and use it to do pro stuff, mostly typesetting supported by photo and designer.

Tracing is one of the features I really missed. Now I have it.

I have the universal license for V2, and it’s so good that it’s going to be relevant for a while.

The fact that Canva is, for the time being making it free, and not forcing AI, and allowing it to be optional, is OK by me. If I need AI for a job, I can pay for a month, pretty cheap for what I’m going to be paid.

I like the situation.

Canva is essentially making migration from Adobe easy and free, to poach users.

Win Win in my opinion

Logitech requires login and connection to their servers to carry out some configs. I’m a long time user, but won’t buy anymore

Brother, brother.

Why would you use third party inks in an ecotank? Genuine epson inks in bottles for the ecotank are super cheap. I follow the opposite route. Refillable epson compatible cartridges with ecotank inks. Epson quality with third party costs.
