We wish the security issues were what killed flash, but it had more than twenty years of security issues failing to kill flash. Flash died because it was replaced by newer technology.
For all y'all talking about the old private internet, it's having a bit of a renaissance. Neocities is on of the big ones, but lots of people are straight up selfhosting them too. It's not like you actually need anything more than a phone to run a static website for the tens of visitors you might get each month.
Here's an example of one. Check the post dates. And the webrings. And the Glitter. And the, well, you get the point.
That's a solid option. I've been running Mint for a couple years now with no issues in my chosen games. BF6 is the only one that comes to mind when thinking of modern linux-incompatible games. (EA specifically blocked it)
There's also the LTSC version of windows 10 which gets security updates until 2032, if you're not trying to deal with windows 11 or EA bs for the next 7 years.
You should be able to find instructions for enabling hardware encoding in your bios by searching for it with your specific device model.
*edit
Handbrake does a bad job of explaining the difference between software encoding and hardware encoding. Or at least, it felt that way to me when I last used it. You likely were trying to software encode your videos, which, while theoretically makes the end result better quality, definitely won't be quick on an n100. You'll want to pick the option that has intel quicksync/qsv in it in order to get the most speed out of your handbrake encodes. https://www.reddit.com/r/handbrake/comments/z2m814/comment/kxu2a8x/
Basically, once Google had most of the regular users, and had convinced many of the XMPP users to switch to them, they just cut off support for xmpp, effectively neutering any growth it may have had without their influence.
To compare that to webp, it would be pretty easy for them to fork their webp into a closed source "2.0" and most everyone would be switched over to that version without even having a say in it. Sure, original WebP would still exist, but since nobody uses/supports it, it's basically dead in the water anyways. This sounds awful and unlikely, but it's literally in their playbook, and it is a thing they have done several times. Android, chrome, XMPP, etc..
It's just as likely that Google keeps WebP as open standard for all time as it is that Google remakes it into a closed source tool that only their closed systems can use. The fact that they have a history of being awful is why we need to keep competing standards around, even if they're just not as good or as widely spread around.
No, exactly. That's the problem. You can't really advertise ergonomics without it looking really different; so everyone just says "wider and thinner than ever before" and calls it a day. So we're here; with everything the wrong size and shape.
The most comfortable phone I ever used was similar to the middle phone in this picture; except the buttons were raised even higher, and the middle key wasn't a scroll wheel, just another simple button. It was also thinner, and had less rounded edges.
Y'all appear to have forgotten what phones felt like before things got to this extreme.
It was for ergonomics; it's easier and more comfortable to hold a phone when it fits better in your hand. The phablet phase broke this for most people by making the screens super big, so they tried to correct by making the phones thinner.
A reasonable size phone that is thin enough would be perfect, but marketing doesn't like it when they can't advertise a bigger screen number, or a smaller thickness, so here we are.
The screenshot is bad enough that I can't tell if this is a troll where they took a picture of the back of one, or where they actually collected that much dog hair for a joke photo.
Yeah. The companies you mentioned are rare novelties because they chose to advertise very little. That means the thing that is normal is when a company advertises. Ergo, having a good reputation usually requires marketing.
Good insights, and not just software developers, really. We don’t like ads, sensationalism, or anything reeking of bullshit
Its a big list of major assumptions by someone who never bothered to verify if they're even true. He's mad he had to work with a heavily marketed product that his boss liked, and wrote this about it. Check out this quote from the article;
And the really fun part is that “astroturfing” a thread about your product on Hacker News or Reddit is just about impossible. If you go to the places where developers hang out and try to promote your product, you will be shot down faster than Mark Zuckerberg at a privacy conference.
Dude. Reddit is practically more bot than person at this point, and its impossible to know by how much, because of how good they are at fooling everyone. https://www.clrn.org/how-much-of-reddit-is-bots/
I specifically know who these guys are because of their massive youtube advertising campaigns.
Krispy Kreme, tesla
Please. Walk outside. Or watch cable for a bit. Just because you don't personally see them doesn't mean they don't also have budgets for advertising as well. Tesla in particular straight up gave up on the strategy of word of mouth once their product stopped being known as quality, or at least, higher tech than anybody else.
Exceptions to the rule, like Stardew valley, which prove the rule. They are famous as not having a marketing budget because not having a marketing budget is weird and unheard of.
You can't really have a "reputation" in this day and age without marketing. The fact that things like Stardew valley exist really only prove the point.
Find a car that fits your needs and then pull the fuse powering the sim card before it leaves the lot. If it breaks, put the fuse back and don't buy it.
My 2019 corolla lost the right speaker and mic access when I did that. I fixed the right speaker by crossing some wires, and the mic hasn't really been needed enough for me to dig deeper to fix it.

For what it's worth, the ID check means this makes it harder to buy ammo than it would be from a store with a person in it.
