  • This is probably hardware-specific, but I installed void linux on my thinkpad x1 last week, and it can't shutdown or wake up from sleep until I disabled tpm 2.0 from bios. Very weird. Other distros I tried so far didn't have this problem.

  • windows 11: doesn't work without tpm 2.0

    (some) linux distro: doesn't work if tpm 2.0 enabled

  • Cops in japan literally has nothing to do. I bet they're excited to finally see some action.

  • Unihertz rarely mentioned in discussion about small phones. I wonder why.

  • Not sure if it's possible on the latest version of gnome anymore. Maybe try turning off lock screen notification because those sleep warning notification would often shows up when the screen is already locked?

  • This phone seems to have the biggest external display compared to other flip phones. So it's completely usable with just the external display? No issue with apps when used from the external display (other than being small)? Can you type and reply to messages and place calls from the external display?

  • I never thought flip phones to count as mini phones. Does people who want small phones actually buy them? I always thought people who want small phones do so because they prefer small screens that can be easily operated with one hand while still maintaining practicality. A flip phone's external screen is too small to be practical as primary screen, and the main screen is even larger than most phones screen.

  • You can temporarily set it using sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576 . How to permanently set the value will vary depending on the distro. iirc on debian and fedora, you can create a file under /etc/sysctl.d/ directory with content vm.max_map_count=1048576

  • Ford says in documents filed with U.S. safety regulators that fuel injectors can crack, and gasoline or vapor can accumulate near ignition sources, possibly touching off fires.

    Dealers will install a tube to let gasoline flow away from hot surfaces to the ground below the vehicle

    Wtf? Ford is essentially saying "fuck these cars" here.

  • Assuming they're still using silicon tech, it probably won't be that much better than top of the line laptop from today. Maybe more ram, more cores, more storage, more battery capacity, better screen, but roughly the same single core speed.

  • Actually, get one with more pins. The one above is for charging only.

  • I kinda assumed anyone who know how to install Linux on their laptop wouldn't have too much problem figuring out how VM works

  • I guess there is no way to escape the extra stress to the port. Maybe using this kind of detachable magnetic adapter can help with reducing the strain? They don't conform with usb specification though, so while it may reduce strain to your port, it may carry another risk like making it easier to accidentally shorting some exposed pins.

  • Try running those adobe apps on a windows virtual machine. Use KVM with virt-managet instead of virtualbox. If the performance is acceptable for you, now you can use Linux as the primary os and only use the VM for adobe apps. VM boots faster too because you can just hit suspend and resume it again later.
