#No #idea

It’s right there at the top:

Wow it’s almost back at feature parity already! Only 4.5 years after release!

At night.

This was neither a good attack, nor a good false flag attack. It’s just a nothing burger.

my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen

Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the “Keep Window on All Desktops” mode.

Weidel, not Wiedel

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

A movie is not software. It can’t control the device you own.

Ha you have no idea. They use new BluRay releases to distribute key revocation databases that block your BluRay drive from decrypting disks with older host keys.

Edit: I suggest starting here if you want to know more: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray

All the other discussions I found on Lemmy dismiss it because they find the idea of a second phone ridiculous. Or because they don’t buy into the “dumb phone” concept.

Looks like OP made a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Microsoft is being a dick. Booting from an external USB-attached SSD works fine once you work around the installer limitations.

When I did this I ended up basically partitioning the disk manually with diskpart and installing Windows manually using the command prompt. I used this blog post to guide me:

But I remember I had some issue that made me start over… what the heck was it. Something like the modern Windows 10 image being larger than what the author had encountered. Ah - I think the issue was the WIM file was over 4GB and wouldn’t fit on the authors 4096 MB “Recovery Image” partition. So make that one larger (check the iso for the wim file’s size) if you plan to create a recovery partition.

Another bookmark I made at the time was this, I think it was mainly for the command listing the SKUs supported by the WIM file, but no guarantees, it’s been a while: https://gist.github.com/Alee14/e8ce6306a038902df6e7a6d667544ac9

Good luck if you decide to try!

That’s for MBR partitioned disks, where they fight over the first sector of the disk which is used as the boot sector.

Computer models starting from around 2013 should support UEFI boot. If you boot in UEFI mode you use a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI System Partition. In there Windows does not overwrite grub. In mine for example grub was in the ESP under /EFI/fedora/ and Microsoft found the ESP and put its stuff in /EFI/Microsoft.

The worst I’ve experienced is that Windows puts the Windows Boot Manager back on top of the UEFI boot order, to fix that, I wrote a comment before, that I’ll just link here, if it’s really just the order you can also just change it back in the UEFI menu.

Another bad thing is that some laptop UEFIs, especially early ones are utterly broken. They ignore your boot order, or your entries in the UEFI boot manager, sometimes they just load the fallback path defined in the UEFI spec, which is \EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi, but that’s the OEMs fault. I’ve seen both Fedora and Microsoft write their loader to the fallback path. I’m not sure if they clobber the other ones if it exists already, because I never boot from that path, so I wouldn’t notice.

you can only run executables on the primary boot partition

lol

Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

lmao

Emergency thermal shut-off is a very common function in various pieces of computer hardware. And if throttling doesn’t help it should indeed shut down, rather than cause damage.

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.

Yes there is also device managment for them. Our company uses Jamf. Not sure how it compares to AD group policies in power but some restrictions, settings and updates get pushed on the regular.

So much.

• Window Management, especially fullscreen
• Alt Tabbing Behaviour
• Default Keyboard Layout
• The Dock with its forced defaults (Finder leftmost, Trash rightmost etc)
• No volume control over HDMI
• Power Management (no manual hibernate, closing lid always sleeps)
• File System Support
• The reactions that auto trigger on webcam
• The Global Menu
• Unchangable limit to virtual desktops
• Default apps being hard to change in some cases (mailto: links for example)
• The weird software installation process with dragging icons to a special folder
• That I can’t temporarily disable a system management profile
• The way the BSD tools are slightly different than the GNU ones, with grep slower for certain patterns
• No Package Manager by default (unless you count the App store with forced accounts)
• Weird filesystem setup, far from FHS

I have installed various pieces of third party software to fix some of them, but still, those are things I dislike about macOS.

No, instead I’m forced to use macOS at work.

And Microsoft Teams, which is terrible, but somehow still better than Cisco Webex, which we had before.

The pictures of the people look generated too, so it seems likely the same person would generate text too.

That was actually preinstalled by IT at my workplace! It’s a pretty nice little archiver. Seconded.

To make the desktop experience bearable: AltTab, Forklift, Rectangle, Ukelele, MonitorControl, Amphetamine, Firefox, Thunderbird, qView and duti to set the latter three up as the defaults.

As a package manager I’m pretty happy with nix-darwin, now I get all the CLI tools there, and what isn’t packaged, like wireshark for example, I get through my nix-controlled homebrew.

Coming from a Linux userland you might want to replace some coreutil packages with their GNU variants. I ran into one case where the GNU grep was much faster than the BSD version preinstalled in macOS for example.

What I haven’t found a good solution to yet is Filesystem support. Both NTFS and ext4 are missing. I currently have a Linux VM just for that. I think Paragon sells a driver, have been meaning to look into it more, but haven’t.

Edit: To be fair to macOS the App called Preview is a pretty good PDF reader in my view.

PS: If you ever need to use dd on macOS, be aware that there are /dev/rdisk handles instead of /dev/disk for the un-buffered access. Its significantly faster for dd shoveling.

PPS: You will probably have to turn off what they call “natural” scroll. macOS inverts the default for some reason.
