SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support

I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I’m saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.

My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. If you don’t have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth’s rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn’t make too much of a difference with phone photography. Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

Best of luck man, keep taking awesome pictures

I didn’t intend to offend or insult your work, I’ve usually been able to look at the colors of the image and tell it’s a pixel and verify in the comments, but I was wrong in this case.

This is a picture from my pixel 6. The picture you linked for your pixel 6 doesn’t look like you have astrophotography mode on (Night sight does a significantly shorter exposure compared to astrophotography)

I said it looked like it came from a pixel camera because it has that signature hue that I normally see taken with pixels

Not OP, but I’d put money that this was taken on a Google Pixel

Had to do a demo the other day and looked like a fool because I couldn’t screen share on Wayland

I ripped one on a pew during a Christmas eve service once

This is just a theory, I don’t have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.

This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.

The same wasn’t observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they’re being caused by telemetry

I would check out the inovelli switches. Not exactly inexpensive, but definitely home assistant friendly

Uhh do we know if this extends to sites.google.com?

Actively going through this rn, could use it

I still can’t do half the stuff in the windows settings app that I could in the control panel, and every update removes an option in control panel without an adequate replacement.

Inb4 “use Linux” I DO but Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED (even with v555) and when I’m done with work I just want to load up a game and not have to fuck with drivers and never actually play. Sue me.

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can’t wait to send this to him.

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don’t want my home folder to be called "myema"[email protected]

Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!

Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

I’ve since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

To be fair “potential next president” already answers if someone is corruptable

As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I’m extremely excited to see this news after I’ve slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.

Not sure if you’re referring to telegram or signal. If you’re referring to signal:

Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support

Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.

I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well
