I use Open Camera on my device, there are some very rare instances where it shows an obscure error saying it can't find a gallery app. Most of the time though it opens Fossify Gallery just fine
I'm rooted and Google Photos was removed from my device before a single photo was taken, so never seen or heard even a peep from it
Ouch, I remember when this was integration was announced a few years ago.
Glad I stuck with a locally managed library, however this must suck for those who have gotten used to the convenience of having one big music library...
When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework
banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles
They definitely put their money where their mouth is, unlike a lot of other places around the world that are all bark but no bite where phasing out combustion engines is concerned.
From the article...
It also effectively slashed the customs tax on imported cars: The tax on gas vehicles was up to 200% before they were banned, while the import tax for fully assembled EVs is just 15%, according to the country’s finance ministry.
Wow, they weren't playing around... 200% tax on gas vehicles? In addition to fuel shortages mentioned in the article too
The lower rates are also spurring more local EV manufacturing. Hundreds of the vehicles were assembled by Ethiopia-based Belayneh Kindie Group using parts imported from China
Ethiopia is leaning hard into EVs in part because importing fuel is expensive, and 96% of the country’s electricity comes from clean hydropower – a dual win for the country’s finances and the environment.
Seems pretty sustainable, and glad to hear that they're able to do some of the manufacturing locally, somewhat ensuring there's local knowledge on building and maintaining these computers on wheels.
Hope the transition goes smoothly for them, looks like they know what they're doing 👌
I have to admit I'm not entirely convinced these requests are coming from a compiler...
Is it possible for you to virtualize an non-networked system with your GPU passed through? That seems like the best option IMO. Next best thing would be to set up an airgapped machine just for this, but not everyone has a 2nd machine.
Personally when I was trying out local LLMs I used a virtual machine, mainly due to the known code execution vulnerability related to Tensorflow model data being saved in python's Pickle format. I believe the recommended save method changed twice since those days though.
With the Firefox stuff I'm assuming you've also checked their enterprise config options too (which are admittedly difficult to find and piece together online), so not too sure what else you could do except aside from continuing to block them. Librewolf however provides documentation on how to disable the extra requests sent from their browser in their FAQ, and covers some preferences on the subsequent page linked at the bottom
ATX power supplies are literally some of the safest power supplies to exist, and a GFCI breaker would prevent this scenario from even happening IMO lol
Nothing concerning for me here personally. However, if you have an issue with Firefox's 'QoL' features dependent on Mozilla infrastructure, you could consider Librewolf instead as an alternative.
As for the reverse lookup requests, those are targeting local multicast addresses on your internal network, except the last one which is for the Fastly CDN service
And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.
AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.
Can't think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area
Minetest (specifically Mineclone2) is an impressive feat, and a very faithful reproduction of the original. I pretty much used the Minecraft fandom wiki to progress through the game. Hours of fun was had without handing money to M$.
I only really stopped because the redstone functionality wasn't fully implemented.
Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.
A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not
I was interested in a steel but they're hard to come across where I am - most likely going to go with a Bangle.js instead for the always-on screen, long battery life and programmability
AFAIK on Windows the physical disk containing the partition needs to be marked offline in Disk Management, and the disk or a partition given exclusively to VirtualBox running as administrator, otherwise access is limited to read-only
I would suggest checking some other sources as well, just in case this has changed over the years. If you do successfully pass the physical partition into VirtualBox read-write, you might need to set up a virtual disk with grub to boot into your physical Linux partition
Platforms like Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon etc make it so easy to support creators outside of YouTube, while also giving creators a larger share of income compared to Adsense.
There's YouTube Premium... but I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to give Google a single cent of my hard earned cash
NewPipe is more vanilla, primarily focusing on the ability to watch videos without signing into an account.
Tubular takes this a step further, integrating Sponsorblock and RYD. More recently the ability to view full comment threads was added, and the dev has plans to allow sign-in to bypass the more agressive bot checks that YT has been putting in place recently
