They might rely on parts that have non open sourced drivers or firmware. Perhaps different parts of the code were authored by different people and they need everyone approval.

You mean “formerly”

Mhm yes, is this going to fuck up older games?

I did the exact same thing. IceWM with XP skin, Firefox with an extension that changed the name in the title bar to internet explorer + a IE theme. Then Thunderbird with an outlook theme. For years they used it like this and no longer did I have to clean out viruses or remove IEs additional toolbars that plagued that era.

Occasionally I would run some updates and that was it.

Criminal matrix needed you to buy access for thousands of dollars, cool matrix is free and open to anyone. Technology isn’t even the same.

I plugged in a monitor yesterday on my work laptop 's HDMI port and it did nothing. After some troubleshooting I apparently had to unplug the USB-C dock for it to work. Let’s not pretend Windows is smooth sailing all the time.

At a meeting I was given some kind of remote dongle to duplicate my screen to a monitor and it did nothing. Had to run some exe first. Again, not plug and play.

But there was always a workaround.

I don’t know enough about electricity. Electrician told me I have 3 phase 400v and it wasn’t common. Not sure what that means or what benefit it gives me.

Odd, maybe it’s time to try again? I use CanvasBlocker, very apt name 😄

Just to be clear, I use Firefox.

You could also whitelist websites probably, so it works unless you explicitly tell it not to.

Yeah, but which…

I installed such a plugin after reading about fingerprinting many years ago and have not ran into any problems yet. What issues have you encountered?

Surely the communication of the device could be monitored and analyzed?

Just bought “old shit” 7th gen and 8th gen intel PC’s, complete, for 350, with gtx1080 cards. These are still pretty good. My own pc is a 7th gen intel with a 1060 and it still does everything I want with ease. It never feels slow, except for, of course, the latest games. Which I can now run on the PC’s with the 1080. I wanted to bridge a gap and found these are actually very capable for anything I throw at it.

We are trialing off brand docks. Wouldn’t be a trial otherwise 😄 these work perfect btw.

We bought some for work to trial and they cost 65€, so hardly hundreds

There’s always a MAC address, it’s just the dongle’s then.

You chose netinstall iso?

That’s simply a matter of numbers. More people = more content, but people can’t seem to get past the fewer content so they don’t join/stay.

I’ve always watered the top because a recipe had it as a step and now I know why 😄

They both have 16GB RAM.

The one with Windows 10 has a i5 7600k and GTX1060

The one with Windows 11 has a i7 7700k and GTX1080

Both with nvme ssd storage samsung evo (cant remember which exactly). The 7600k machine even has hdds and ssds via sata extra.

The only reason I’m on 10 with my main pc is because the 7th gen intel in there isn’t compatible with win11. I have another pc that is 7th gen, which I put windows 11 on and there is just something weird about it. When I do anything on that machine it doesn’t do it immediately, it sits for a few seconds before actions are done. Really aggravating. Clicking on a program on the taskbar takes a few seconds before it opens. File explorer, firefox browser, settings pane, … Once programs are running it’s fine to use said programs, but I wonder what they did to make it feel this way.

I have Linux on both machines as primary OS and they are super snappy, it’s not the hardware.
