Yeah, dial-up isn’t the part I miss.
Yeah, dial-up isn’t the part I miss.
I miss the magical time when Compuserve, AoL, Yahoo, and more, all had to compete with eachother, and all you need to use ALL of them was that initial dial-up connection.
Then AoL bought Compuserve, AT&T bought Yahoo, and all along it went to shit in a million different little ways.
Even back when I was in the laptop-repair game, this is the kinda stuff people would expect me to know about their stuff that I hated. I saw too many features come and go over the years to keep track of even half of it on behalf of others.
Depends on the iGPU, but this being a damn near brand-new laptop, I’m sure you’re right.
Maybe if it allowed you to switch to integrated graphics versus discrete, putting the GPU to sleep.
For just browsing, even integrated graphics has been plenty since the beginning of the internet, maybe with some exceptions when Flash gaming reached its pinnacle.
The one usually works best with the other, though.
EDIT: nm, I see what you were getting at in their comment now. Thy also meant downscaling the Text/UI, not upscaling.
In the case of the IMF, its unbelievable how much power and influence they have.
The WTO is probably right. I couldn’t remember earlier, did some googling, and went with what I found. The WTO and IMF together are a global juggernaut. The ICC is … the one that sticks out in my memory, for some reason.
There’s the International Criminal Court, yes, but there’s also the International Chamber of Commerce.
The confusion gives them(the Commerce peeps) a veneer of authority, although as a facet of the International Monetary Foundation that the US/EU requires countries to sign onto in order to do business, they do issue binding decisions versus member countries. That, or the US get’s more hands-on with its meddling.
Realistically, Google and then the other Android manufacturers will stop business in Argentina. Grey market will then be filling that niche, almost cerainly with imported phones.
WTO/ICC Arbitration coming in 3 … 2 …
Honestly, I hope Google just stops doing business in Argentina. Let their courts tussle with phone manufacturers that sell Android devices until they do the same. Not the end of the world if your citizens have to buy such things grey-market or keep using what they already have, or buy devices with other operating systems.
Before you say Apple, Apple would have to handle it pretty much the same as Google if/when they get sued/prosecuted like so.
Yeah … it wasn’t your site, it was my criteria and the ads changing just enough to be confused for results.
She’s an indisputable beaut, now that I get how it works.
Doesn’t work for me on Firefox mobile. Neither “mobile” site or Desktop versions. Hitting “Next/Enter” on my keyboard does nothing, there is no Submit button that I can see, and refreshing the page just resets all fields to defaults.
I don’t want an Intel with 4gb RAM and a 256GB spinning drive, and OS included? No dice, that’s what I’m offered. Without being able to filter results, its just another craigslist/amazon/newegg front-end … a less useful one.
EDIT: Turns out there are zero fanless non-Intel, 16+GB RAM, 1024+GB SSD/eMMC offerings with USB-C to list. Strange no-one is packaging an OrangePi 5 Plus like so, but I haven’t seen a fanless heat-sink sufficient to make that a good idea anyways.
I had tweaked some of the options, but without clearing either-or-both of those last two, especially “fan-less”, all I was getting was the five sponsored “results” the top, which changed just enough to make it seem like that’s all the results I could get.
No, jackass. People that can barely afford their pets often(not enough) realize they can’t afford kids. Getting rid of the pets doesn’t make having kids affordable. Its also a lot easier to figure out who gets the pets when relationships sour.
There’s just so many reasons almost no one is “choosing” pets over kids.
If you’re willing to exploit nearly everyone you meet for free food and shelter, yes, yes it is.
Came here to say this. It’s also remarkably easy to mooch off extended family, friends, even strangers. People usually feed their couch-surfer guests as well, who knew?
… and why would it? Again, I only set it up like so on the Raspberry Pi(2B iirc) due to hardware limitations.
You never paid attention to the screens above the line for the self checkouts? You can see the system isolating faces and gait in real-time.
Not that hard to stop wayland or xorg at the launch of a given application and restart it at that application’s exit. Of course, I only did it on the Raspberry Pi because the hardware lagged horribly running such apps with a gui/compositer/desktop the app wasn’t using in the background, but it wasn’t hard for me to get working, and its exactly how we did things with DOS apps and even some Windows games back in the WFWG 3.11 days.
Basically, there’s no technical reason the host operating system should have to be providing say X, KDE, Plasma, Gnome, Gk, Wayland, whatever, to a flatpack app that needs those things. Yes, the result is a larger flatpack, but that’s why flatpack’s do dependency consolidation.
Unless … Unless, you just really want to to run your games windowed with smooth window-resizing, minimization, maximization, etc.
Nowhere local stocks the parts to repair most second-hand items. Parts for older items are often hard to find because they are no longer made. I mean, you’re replying to someone who builds repairable versions of such items. Why do you think that is necessary?
Do you have the skill-set to do as they do? I do, and yet, I assure you, skills, a 3D Printer and a friggen machine-shop at my disposal can only do so much to compensate for a supply chain that has been absolutely gutted and continually re-worked to force consumption, and of products from the far end of the globe, at that.
