They’re advertising alt-cigarette products, right? Probably from their parent companies alt subsidiary.
I vaguely remember in the '90s they used to have slips like that in the UK. Can’t remember if it was advertising or things like “Collect 100 of these tokens, get a 20 pack for free!”
That’s surprising, as I think the first Windows TCP/IP stack was ported over from BSD by Spider Systems (pretty sure that’s why it still has things like “/etc/hosts” - albeit under System32). Wonder if the bug was in BSD and never backported (cross ported?).
Newcastle still covered from yesterday morning.
There’s a bit of nuance here. Mad cow disease (BSE) was a big deal, yes, but vCJD (the human form) was not prevalent - as of a few years ago, I think there was less than 200 cases in the UK, and less than 250 cases worldwide - ever. As it can be dormant for decades they believe, it’s why the UK population and visitors at those times is not allowed. Keep in mind, in the UK we do still donate blood - we don’t have to import it from elsewhere. But as it’s such a horrific disease, it’s easier to just say “No one from the UK can donate blood.” it’s not like it would impact other countries blood supplies, and keeps them a bit safer.
I mean, I did quote the partial sentence from the link. You can look that up.
with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3
Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?
They hired the man behind systemd (controversial, I know, but he does have a vision). I hope they listen to him and/or he starts directing how they should do things from the ground-up.
This is kinda how I feel about Windows these days. It’s interface, directory structure, shudder the registry, user specific apps (from MS Store or Winget), buttons being inserted into the menu bars on some apps, but not others, button sizes being different sizes, some parts still using the Metro interface. The whole thing either needs a re-write, or should be dropped and something new to replace it. Don’t even get me started on things like the eventvwr hanging for 20 seconds after it opens, event tracer API, their in-house abandonment of powershell modules once powershell was open sourced, Windows containers being a disaster, etc.
raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn’t an OS. It’s a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.
An OpenVPN profile generator with valid client certificate and the private key never leaves the client workstation.
I don’t think you need to learn it, you just need to use one command. Even from a CMD prompt you can invoke powershell and a powershell cmdlet in a one-liner:
powershell send-mailmessage -from "me@somedomain.co.uk" -To "me@someotherdomain.co.uk" -subject "Test to me" -smtpserver My.Mail.Server.co.uk
Is there a reason not to use PowerShell?
In the UK we tend not to tip if there’s a service charge.
Yep, I check the background apps fairly regularly ('cause I’m paranoid about this battery). I’m on 14 already, strangely, I did notice a difference for the first couple of days - but back to draining quickly after that. I use Firefox as my default browser too (with ublock, yes) - I don’t browse on my phone a lot.
I took my phone off charge (100%) at 17:30 last night, used WhatsApp to text some friends off and on (like, 10-20 messages total) for the next 3-4 hours and it was at 50% by 22:00, I was not using my phone, I was watching TV. It went into DnD at 22:00, and then when I got up at 07:00 it was at 25%.
So that’s 75% with very light usage, with DnD for ~9 hours, in just over 12 hours.
7a here and the battery is the worst out of any phone I’ve ever had. Like, I’ve seen it go from 100% to 66% in 3-4 hours when it’s not even in-use. I’ve actively told people not to buy this phone because of it. Which is ridiculous, as it’s a decent phone. I had a 5 before this and was getting days out of it still (after 2.5-3 years)
Can you reformat that drive as exFAT? That should remove NTFS as being a reason to keep Windoze around (and even if you do need Windoze, it should be able to read that format fine as well).
Code storage. They’re keeping bugzilla.
Bard to the rescue (or it’s just flat out lying, it does that a lot to me, with confidence).
Which version of stat do you have? I get the same blank result locally on ext4 and btrfs filesystems (not over nfs) using stat 8.30 on an rpi4 (raspbian, 5.10.103-v8+).
Seems to work fine with stat 8.32 on xfs on a spot instance I have, running Rocky 9 (5.14.0-362.13.1.el9_3.x86_64).
I thought there might be more info in the changelog:
