When windows XP went away I got 12 more years of updates on my old dell laptop - with Linux of course. The laptop died before 32 bit support did.

 

Hopefully nobody tells them about the raspberry pi..

Or 3 branches..

I prefer to just delete the whole .git and start a new repository with the new version. We are pivoting the project, new name and new repo

The great windows 10 shutdown is coming in a couple of weeks and I still haven't upgraded my wife's laptop! The main holdup is backing up, it turns out that hibernation need to be disabled in Windows 10 to do a proper backup, otherwise there is some sort of encryption on the backup. I wasted 2 days on this already copying 500GB just in case upgrade fails.

Upgrading to mint of course!

I'm guessing not - Google probably wants the data for itself.

Does this apply to Android studio?

One of our neighbours has his set to "SAPS Surveillance Van" - "SAPS", South African Police Services.

Ours is named after my son's YouTube channel.. free advertising!

I would say go straight to bass - and expect to be invited to join a band in 6 months. Bassists are rare.

At one point I was a semi professional guitarist, so answer based on experience

So I had an e-reader once but left it in the drawer because I found reading on my phone (dark mode) was so much more convenient.

I use librera which has tts and I alternate between reading with my eyes and listening to the robot voice narration (eg while driving). Those language packs have come a long way!

I think your isp could probably infer this all already from your internet traffic

Came here to say the same thing. The entire company would be cancelled.

I was just joking sorry, I just found the concept of AI doing fake static humorous. Forgot my \s

It's actually really cool to see this and it brought back memories - I do wonder if they just looped a short bit or recorded the full 2 hours

 

Battery on my Android Tablet died, so I upgraded it with 18650 replaceable batteries. Tutorial with pics

 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)
