Switzerland participates in Schengen and the european free trade association while not being an EU member state. The UK doesn’t do any of those things.

Enshittification intensifies.

Mandatory Fuck Spez comment

I am more shocked by the fact that that motherfucker reads books at all.

I’ve been linux-curious on-and-off for years. I’ve toyed with it several times but always gone back to Windows eventually. I have a laptop with a 7th gen Intel CPU that is not supported on Windows 11, so I decided to wipe it and threw the latest version of Linux Mint on it. Everything (except for a fingerprint reader) worked straight out of the figurative box, and I’ve been happily running it on that machine for about 6 months now. I think Mint is a good choice if you want a simple windows-like experience.

I still have a desktop PC running Windows for games and Adobe Lightroom and stuff, but I won’t be going back to Windows on that laptop.

Also, insane people calling in on the phone.

Same shit happened when the Steam Deck released in 2022 as well. A bunch of them disappeared into FedEx. Fortunately, Valve promptly took care of anyone who was affected.

Lots of those floppy drives in industrial and lab applications (as well as the retro computing enthusiast space) are being replaced by things like GoTek devices, which are essentially floppy emulators with flash memory.

Several Kotaku writers quit and launched their own operation recently, named Aftermath.

Same. Battery life gone to shit on my SE since WatchOS 10 too.

The ads I see on my kindle lock screen all seem to be for garbage AI-generated books.

The only movie I saw in a theater in the past couple of years was Oppenheimer, just because I had some friends that wanted to go. I way prefer watching stuff at home. I have a nice setup and I can pause to go take a piss whenever I want, and I don’t have to deal with obnoxious idiots in the room.

Something tells me that you would also have found yourself quickly dropped from the team.

If they can afford the power bill for all of that A/C maybe.

Hold on to them and sell them in the future when scarcity makes them valuable again.

you can set separate resolutions for your laptop’s built-in screen and your external display, unless you’re just mirroring the display to both.

just never connect your smart tv to the internet

Amazon added epub support to Kindles a while back, and deprecated mobi. It still has some issues with epub formatting though, I’ve had to tweak some files using a Calibre plugin to make them render properly on the kindle.
