Yeah, and besides I need to see the latest ad for esm support.

I like this idea.

I have an appliance that resets the time to midnight when plugged in. I had an idea to connect a smart plug to it on a schedule to set the time automatically.

I recently learned that SSDs do not reliably store data for long amounts of time when unpowered.

The only Windows reinstall I’ve had to do in years was when I unplugged my monitor’s integrated USB hub and somehow that completely broke Windows recognizing it.

Linux though? It’s typically user error in my case.

My HP printer has a special mode where it pretends to be a CD-ROM drive with the driver files on it. One time it entered this mode and I had to use a Windows machine to kick it back into normal printer mode. Couldn’t find any Linux way to do this.

The rest of printing from Linux has been smoother than Windows though. I have a Linux machine run CUPS and that makes printing from Windows easy.

The apple music app checks for a specific binary. Could be something like that.

I just want a consistent name for my home dir

Assigned system configuration at birth

Or when the app has different limits than the webpage!

Sometimes the limits they tell you are wrong. Sometimes they truncate your password without telling you. Sometimes the app has different requirements than the website.

The university here had someone change a building name to Bladee Hall and no one ever fixed it.

Kog = dog with KDE?

What about other products-as-a-service? And on what grounds? I think it’s unwise to use/rely on these services, but I’m not sure how they should be regulated. At a minimum your data should be freely exported in bulk on request.

This is the biggest issue for me. No idea what we can do to get those companies to switch. I think it would benefit them in the future too. Autodesk had that cloud-vm version of fusion for a while, but I’d imagine that was costing them more due to Windows.

Isn’t that both a feature and a potential difficulty? I’ve never used it, but I would think that’s part of the appeal for some people/use cases.

Never had something break on Linux that was not my fault (outside of running hardware so old I had to fix some boot options). Meanwhile, using Windows feels like I’m back at my bug test job. Issues persist for years with no solution!

Could it be a power issue too?
