Nice. Real fucking nice.

Because they wanna seem quirky and nerdy

Good. Finally they’re facing some actual consequences for their actions.

I mean, yeah, most people probably don’t know what they’re doing but does that mean that no one should be able to fix their own stuff any more?

Yes, but it doesn’t even install properly. There’s a custom fork of Wine specifically for Affinity Photo and it works somewhat but it’s very slow and crashes a lot.

This proactive approach helps to avert potential engine damage

Ah yes, the old “you’re too stupid to do anything by yourself, so we kindly prevent you from trying”

Pocket was always among the first things I disabled when setting up Firefox and apparently, I wasn’t the only one doing that… I’m sure it had its users but I always found normal bookmarks to be more convenient.

Never even heard of Fakespot, though.

We need Affinity Photo for Linux asap… Even on a VM both Affinity Photo and Affinity Photo 2 keep crashing for some reason…

Of course it’s up to you whether you want to use something that, according to Microsoft, you’re not supposed to use, but the only “pirate-code” I had to run was to activate it. The upgrade itself was pretty straightforward. You could use it just fine without activating it if you wanted.

IMO it’s a better option buying a new computer to run Windows 11 officially. I’m not including Linux because I specifically wanted to keep Windows on the Laptop to run apps that don’t work on Linux.

I did an in-place upgrade as well. I was surprised how easy it was; it’s just one Registry key and from there you can just do a normal upgrade.

Way easier than installing Windows 11, which wouldn’t even officially run on my ThinkPad T540p…

I upgraded my Win 10 laptop to IoT Enterprise LTSC recently which is stupidly easy and grants you support till 2032.

Aside from some weird app incompatibilities it’s been working fine.

Mate, every time I go into even small suburban areas I see people driving RAM pickups, G-Wagons and other enormous SUVs.

This is a global problem, maybe it’s not as bad as it is in the US but it’s still there.

I’d fucking love to have a DeLorean; they’re bad cars but that’s where the similarities to the Cybertruck end. They’re just cool.

And because Nintendo likes to sue anyone who uses their IPs

That’s another thing I was wondering about; Google used to design their own Chromebooks, but those always were the premium options and way too expensive for school use.

Google didn’t respond to Ars Technica’s request for comment.

To be fair, I don’t really see why they should. Chances are they didn’t factor in that level of stupidity when designing those things.

Holy shit I love this

Wow, this is super distasteful and manipulative.

Another great alternative to Acrobat (Reader) is Okular; it’s free, open source and runs on Linux, Windows and macOS.

It’s been my go-to PDF reader since switching to Linux, since it already came pre-installed with Manjaro KDE.

Someone once said on here that NEC made TVs like that but I couldn’t find anything
