The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.
From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn’t get it ot work.

Drms need to be installed and enabled on the browser. Drms like widevine and others.
If the drms aren’t enabled and installed on the browser, and able to communicate to the service it’s “safe”, spoofing the user agent won’t do anything.
I have no experience for this matter, nor a lot of Linux either, but there seem to be some interesting choices here (there isn’t best and worst, it’s just a list, and the most adapted to what you need).

Obviously the minimum system requirements should not be your max amount of ram. You need to account for apps or tools you’ll run.
8·10 months agoI don’t understand some things in the water consumption.
Why do they need to humidify the air for the datacenter?
Why is there water consumption for cooling? Aren’t they recirculating water used for watercooling? Or are they using f*ing tap water then throwing it out?
Water for electricity production, kinda, yes. Could be indirectly attributed to their water consumption as they are using the electricity produced by the sources using water.
This meme looks ai generated.
Scam/wish text is back and some elements looks off in the picture (hand, eyes teeth…).
Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?
I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.
It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.
There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.
Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I’d say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren’t that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.
Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.
The mx5 only support sbc (minimum to support) aac and LDAC. They dropped aptx to only use their own high latency (and not that much better) codec. The headphone has BT 5.3, but does not support LC3 (an extremely good, low latency codec integrated in base bluetooth).
If you want to check what codec is used in windows, or change, there is a tool : https://www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/
Not sure if it’s free or free trial. But they also have a software allowing to check what is currently in use which is a free trial.

(great ceo choice, she has experience in communication, which is the main thing a ceo has to do for gnome. She doesn’t need to do or participate deeply in development.
And shaman, well whatever, why do you even care?)
Don’t know, not using ublock origin. I use enhancer for YouTube on Firefox, and still not seeing any pop up.
Tho I have it set to allow ads for subscribed channels. Tho the setting seems bugged as a feature where most video ads get blocked, but some of them still run sometimes at the start of the video. The square adds on the side aren’t blocked either, but they are not a hindrance.
There are some useful things in there, but it can get complicated. If i could get to Linux I wouldn’t need a lot of this stuff, or at least I wouldn’t need to think about it.
Tho I can’t get to it yet (and no I’m not willing to do a windows vm), because of 2 things :
-
I’m playing warframe, and sometimes I open alecafrale in the background with the overlays to know what reward to pick. And it seems they overwolf and the app is not compatible with Linux, at least from what I could read.
-
I am using gpu virtualisation to share my pc occasionally with my brother. And on Linux, there is an alternative with LIBVF.IO. but sadly, not compatible with newer amd gpus, or at least from the tutorial and arch wiki, pretty complicated to make it run, if even possible.
When these 2 things would be fixed, maybe I’ll consider it, if i don’t have to switch to windows every 2 days…

61·11 months agoIt works on the website. But some (or many) apps don’t seem to use the tag.
Well the battery in my phone lasted longer than my laptop. The difference : one stayed a long time at 100% the other one is constantly pliged and unplugged with 100%-20%-80%…, but also battery tech and management would be different (maybe).
Letting the battery at 100% stresses it and does degrade it with time, charging and discharging also degrades it. But it would be better for the battery health to keep it in the 80-20%.
However if it is easier to let the device plugged in, maybe check if it can run without a battery, and if not maybe it can be changed? Tho not sure if you can find replacement in some years.
Tho maybe the battery station could also be designed to stay at high charge? It isn’t the easiest thing to know how it works and how it is designed.
I have no real idea, only suppositions :
(I’m not treating Ukraine as the enemy, this is a full supposition).
The real hard part is costs and time. If the soldiers pushed the front lines, and there is no risk of enemy attacks behind the line, there can be multiple things in the way :
The terrain may not always be good for fast travel. With difficult terrains or mud and water.
And because front lines aren’t perfect, there is always the risk of enemy attack behind, destroying supplies.
Now why exactly Russia did not send supplies to their soldiers, no real idea. They only know what they chose to do.
Ukraine is huge, giant. Going up to the front lines takes time and money. And well I very much guess that Russia just sent soldiers without care, maybe even now they doing that. They underestimated Ukrakne’s defenses and the support they get from other countries.
I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.
For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.
I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.
Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.
