It does not rally matter if there is a conspiracy behind or not. You can't buy a phone that has a new powerful processor, dual-sim, sd-card and 3.5mm jack. It is just does not exist.

As user I don't care if it is a cartel or just "more profitable", but if this situation destroys companies that makes business from consoles or pc-gaming. Then it will be the colapse of the industry. First will be the hardware, once the hardware is gone, will be the software...

Ramson notes must be coloured so that it is clear it isn't a scam.

I am in the same boat, every time I like something, it is a commercial failure. They should really hire me to check if I like whatever project they got in mind and if I do, cancel immediatetly and save the losses from being a failure.

I like the idea, but would like to be able to select a language and see the small web of that language. There are more languages than English, and this tool could make them thrive.

Also somehow if they are clever, they could use this for those translation system they are using, but please let us select our own language without feeding automatic translation like youtube does).

Here could some European company that already makes tv to step in and create something good, with no ads, and even better if they promise to open the sourcecode, bootloader etc... Something like Philips for example. But I guess they are too busy making lightbulbs to notice that they could fill that gap on the TV market space.

I do, it is indeed. I'm always surprised that a single developer in javascript managed to do it.

Adding a text that has a couple of pixel white borders is something possible in GIMP, yet a nightmare compared with photopea which just copy cs2 way of doing it.

And that is without having to edit the text in case you made a tipo.

Now, if we are talking about doing batch image editing in python. Gimp us the best tool I've found.

I never understood this UI problem.

Because... You can copy the UI of the leader and problem solved.

There you have GIMP with an absolute nightmare UI to use, but people keep saying, just get used to it. On the other hand, a single developer, in javascript, made a copy of photoshop, and most people I know prefer to use that over GIMP...

Just copy the UI that works, if you can't research your own UI.

I believe (as it's open source) there is nothing impeding anybody else to compile grapheneOS in a samsung S10, which would not be as secure, but should still work as any lineage

However I haven't seen anybody try

Dealing with Honor support is a pain. They don't understand absolutely anything and is impossible to get them out of their script if you have a problem.

I have a Honor 200 pro, and the software is buggy and constantly replaces user configurations with their defaults every 3 or 4 days.

I would avoid anything Honor in the future at any cost.

Where I work, I can't give anything is not a word document to anybody else in the company. A python notebook might help at creating the figures for example, but I can already do that with QGIS layouts.

If the working environment allows for checking/reviewing within the notebook, I guess this could help automatise things.

ISP with the right to football goes to court to report themselves (not a joke) about piracy happening in their networks.

An old man judge which understand technology as much as I understand biochemistry (nothing) decides that they need to stop piracy, His solution is to give laliga the power to block those illegal streams, that all ISP must comply for the time that a match exist. The judge covers himself by saying, that the blockage can't affect third parties.

All ISP happy comply. It does affect third parties.

Cloudflare (third party) puts a recourse to say that it is affecting their business. The very same old man, decides, that is not going to proceed with that investigation.

So cloudflare needs to to through a different slower legal procedure.

Meanwhile, we have a company with the authority to block what they want thanks to corruption.

I am willing to try an image officially supported but definitely I am not building my own to run a computer for my mom given that w10 supports ends, don't have the spoons nor the time for that.

But I guess it is best to have the option that not to have it.

I have just checked, and Aurora Linux does not offer support for any Nvidia card older than 16xx.

Looks like they used to, so they have removed the option.

The easiest way is with a programmable plug, it does not have to be smart, just set it up to charge the phone for 1 or 2 hours at the cheapest, or available by solar, the rest of the day the phone will use battery as usual. Is the battery cooked? Then set it to be half an hour every 4 hours or so.
