Fair, I also have a brother laser printer and have never had issues. I was in IT Support for many years and boy were printers ever a problem.

Even cheap ear buds / headphones and mice these days seem to be perfectly stable wireless though. They may break physically or just have shitty performing hardware, but the wireless part itself has been pretty good these days

I agree with the wireless being solved part, but printers still suck lol

I guess we do, because I have not seen any window management improvements at all when switching to linux.

Did you last try windows 20 years ago or something? Windows definitely has touchpad gestures and robust window management. Dont get me wrong though, I don’t like windows anymore either. Switched off it a year ago

It’s a free security upgrade that the os gives you the option to use. There is an enteprise version that includes technical support, but that is an extra addon.

There is no fee for personal use.

Whats wrong with ubuntu pro?

I have the wired version of these Hearprotek earbuds, and they are amazing. The earbud is so small it doesn’t reach past my ear, and they are some sort of soft silicon, so they dont bother my ears when sleeping on my side. I went through dozens of “sleep earbuds” until I found these. https://a.co/d/0a7kYUM

Windows Defender is actually quite good these days. The main reason an enterprise would use a 3rd party AV/Firewall would be centralized management of said av and firewall. If IT needs to install apps and make them work, they also need the ability to manage the AV/Firewall.

I have only ever had two pairs of sunglasses. The first set when I was a child, and the second set that stays in the car. I dont really go anywhere that would benefit from sunglasses, so that has been enough for me.

To be fair, the people that dont use discords search function also wouldn’t use a forums search function. If discord was more effort as you say, people wouldn’t use it.

I meean, if it was really important, it’s very unlikely you would forget it. We use that saying a ton here

Flatpak is the default in ubuntu though? Atleast it is for me in 24.04

Hah, never thought of it like that. I went from 0 to 2 linux desktop machines shortly after joining lemmy.

Yep, you could fit wikipedia with images and some general knowledge books into about 110GB of space. Perfect use for it lol

To be fair, that isn’t a song its just music, so they were right lol

Well for one, ISPs are not the government, and two, if any CA was caught doing this, browsers like firefox would drop them. Hopefully google would too, but who knows. Thats an aweful lot of risk on their part.

These days, it is often misused by ignorant people because it sounds derogatory.

FTFY

I have tried it out a few times in the last couple of years and inevitably run into sites that just won’t work with it. Especially at work. I keep hoping it gets better, but it never seems to.

Wasn’t aware of that last one, thats not great…

Im not married to brave and would switch if i found something better, but the first two points seem like a non-issue to me tbh. The auto complete is coming from their free search engine. What do you think happens when a service with ongoing costs is free?

As for the second one, I did mention to just turn off all the crypto stuff… The way they do it is fairly common with general donations elsewhere anyway.

I just find brave works well on all my devices, and has a good cross device sync. Nothing else I have tried could match it.

Nah brave is fine. Just disable the crypto stuff like everyone else
