Ah. The way they wrote that seemed an exclusive…

Nice for gnome, so, when I wanted to set xrdp on debian a couple years ago I cried and almost gave up.

It’s just support, for people that can afford it or want it. The bonus software is all free or foss, the rest are wallpapers or other gnome themes that can be get otherwise

Xrdp server enabled with a toggle instead of messing with the terminal for 1 hour seems unique

I really don’t think people is reasoning “yes I definitely need a computer that exclusively can browse the web no matter the price” because otherwise, if price is no objection, they would buy an ipad with a keyboard.

This considering that a Chromebook instantly loses the resale value as soon as you pay it and it comes with a time bomb which is known only to hyper technical people. Chromebooks on discount have just 1-2 years of updates left or in some cases they’re already EOL. It’s crime against the environment that a Linux machine with a browser has a EOL date when it could receive browser updates indefinitely without any issue.

Windows, without any security updates, without firewall and without the antivirus.

It uses an index that really works and doesn’t take ages.

It’s what search should have been if the windows indexer was written correctly

Fuck

So now I have to contact all the family members where I removed the bloatware and replaced with the smt apps, uninstall them before the “just 39 euro per week for adfree” subscription scam starts, find suitable replacements, train people to get used to new icons…

Of course not. They install Facebook that has one ad every two posts, ads in WhatsApp is nothing

They don’t seem good at all, long and weird

I don’t know what text the LLM sniffed, but those aren’t average at all

English word + four numbers

They’re continuing the embargo for what? I see no danger coming from Cuba nowadays

Post more from humans, no ai content

Actually, the guide doesn’t mention how to dual boot, it’s how to install Linux bare metal as the only os.

Otherwise they wouldn’t have removed the possibility to easily boot Linux from the windows boot manager instead of grub

I’d like to set nautilus to show hidden files, but I can’t stand the amount of “trash” there’s in home

Everyone is thinking “my app is the best, it totally deserves a ~/.myappisthebest directory”

But meanwhile lose all credibility. If you don’t want to commit to a specific piece of hardware, don’t sell it. A $5000 whiteboard with a $600 yearly subscription AND that requires paid Google workspace subscriptions for each user (100 employees=$12000 each year) will NEVER be ultra popular. They already knew from the beginning that they wouldn’t be possibly move millions of units of this and they would just cash in from the subscriptions.

All files generated on this devices are proprietary and saved on their servers. As of now, it’s not possible to get them and open on a computer. When they pull the plug, they’re all gone.

For example, when Twitter died and they sold all the forniture at the auction, they had more than an hundred devices like this. https://bid.hgpauction.com/past-auctions/herita10216?term=Jamboard

Maybe the new management kept some of the boards, but here they spent half million in hardware + 60k yearly for the software licenses + another hundreds of thousands for the required Google workspace accounts for the users. And for what? For e-waste that ends with no drop-in replacement. Now corps need to quickly find an alternative and they need to pay extra to convert the generated files to the new platform.

Behaving like this will definitely hurt future sales, as Google will be labeled as the supplier that suddenly disappears without a drop-in replacement.

There are a lot of other companies that discontinue and render the purchased hardware a brick within a short timeframe, for example Cisco, but at least they have an upgrade path and not “we exit the market, good luck”.

Reading this comment seems like they cater the Japanese market and the rest of the world is an afterthought

They call them surveys but at the end of the 100 fake questions they ask a credit card for “verification” - at that point you’re silently forwarded to a different website where you subscribe to a scam service at 49 euro / month with a 7 day trial for 1 euro. This fine print is written in grey on a grey background, the victim at this point is tired to read from the 100s of fake questions and just says yes to everything. Chrome credit card auto fill helps the process by requiring just one extra click instead of typing the numbers. The user just want that manual/game/document and ran out of patience from fake countdowns and fake loading bars “checking if the file is available”

OMG always assumed that -c always stands for “compress” and I always placed .gz at the end to remember to place -x when extracting

A protocol that doesn’t exist, so the link wouldn’t be clickable and Google indexer wouldn’t consider that fake page as valid

The purpose is to trick the user in to clicking the fake link and waste 5 euro for the fake “survey” with those fake waits and fake countdowns leading ultimately to an error 404
