White out marker the Steam Deck?

I like how you say this and your instance is “sh. It just works”

“federal court decided that police officers can make you unlock your phone, even by physically forcing you to press your thumb against it.”

How so, at least with this article? It mentions a couple times things like:

what she hasn’t done is disown the current tariffs on the imports of China, which have also been harmful.

if Harris wins and resumes Biden’s supposedly more strategic approach to tariffs, tech companies already feeling heavily burdened expect they would be stuck with extra costs under her administration

Harris hasn’t been clear about her plans for tariffs if elected

It’s unclear how quickly prices would rise if Trump or Harris expanded tariffs.

It feels (at least to me) pretty balanced on this that they will rise if either one is elected, they just can’t say how much under Harris because she hasn’t given details about it, which they point out many times. Trump has declared his intention, so that’s why his amount is shown.

Trump’s threat of a 60 percent tariff on all Chinese goods is perhaps the clearest worst-case scenario for tech companies preparing to adapt as administrations shift.

Just randomly wondering, which distro did you use on what hardware?

Practice and dedication.

You are right, those are not compatible, didn’t realize that. The speed specs are the same, just a series block. With the worst part of this being that these are all going to be 10 years old when Win10 is completely unsupported, which is better then the non-Linix alternatives (MacOS, ChromeOS(?), Android, iPadOS).

The difference is you now need a TPM 2.0 chip. That’s pretty much it. Hardware requirements were the same as Win8.

If you are using a desktop computer, all you need to do is buy a $20-30 TPM 2.0 module and install it. It connects to a few pins and your done. It’s cheap, simple, and easy to do.

The issue is most people now have laptops and quite a few didn’t have that chip or that version (some have TPM 1.2, which isn’t as secure anymore.) and you can’t install it on a laptop motherboard. TPM 2.0 has been available since mid-2016, but some manufacturers might have cheapened out and not added it to save costs as it wasn’t a necessary part. So basically, any laptop that is 9 years or older (or the manufacturer cheapened out) won’t be able to upgrade to Win11.

This isn’t the first time ARM has gone to court over licensing. In fact, the last time was against Qualcomm and its fees dealing with its Nuvia.

It really did.

FYI, ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machines.

Again, they have a court approved document. As per the lawsuit filing:

Recognizing the value of Wiwynn’s custom-tailored solutions, on September 24, 2014, X Corp. entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with Wiwynn. For nearly eight years, X Corp. sourced and Wiwynn provided unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions for X Corp.’s data centers, based on forecasts provided by X Corp. The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers. To ensure that products could be manufactured on the strict timeline X Corp. required, X Corp. specifically gave written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the custom products being made for X Corp., and expressly assumed liability for the procurement costs.

And a master purchase agreement is a legally binding contract.

They have one, the contract signed in 2014. As is mentioned in the quote I shared.

When you read the article, it also points to another article that goes further into this case.

…in 2014 it contracted with Twitter to provide “unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions.”…

Seems it was already approved in 2014 for such a long-term relationship in writing. It seems that Elon just didn’t want to pay for it even though Twitter was contractual bound to pay.

Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and then an HDMI cable would do that, but more things to add.

The regulation requires all phone makers to abandon proprietary Bluetooth coupling standards that may interfere with hearing aid compatibility. The FCC will require all handsets to ensure universal connectivity between smartphones and hearing aids, including over-the-counter devices like the recently approved Apple AirPods Pro 2.

I wonder how Apple will try to handle this, as we’ve seen with them and the EU app store business that they will take malicious compliance to the extreme to fight against having to lose any control over their devices.

It’s hooked to a Mac, so most likely on Thunderbolt which would allow it internet access with the video feed. So it’s possible they didn’t have a choice. (This isn’t limited to Mac though)

Present day. Present time.

No. It was a completely different product. It’s like trying to claim that an iPhone is an iMac because it has the “i” in the name and is made by the same company. Similar branding to help tie it together, but completely different devices.

The Kindle Fire was an Android tablet, not an e-reader. Completely different products.

I don’t understand what the point is with having an e-reader with a colour screen when the screen is so small. Anything I read that would benefit from a colour screen is either a PDF or a comic, and those suffer from tiny letters on a screen under 10 inches.

Or is there a lot of newer books that have images and such that aren’t PDF/CBR based?
