Maybe, I just don’t like “And as long as you have things set up properly and you know how things work then this really isn’t an issue” - you can set things up correctly and then it still screws up. Everything works perfectly until it doesn’t.

I’ve been in the IT business for 26 years and I’ve seen software screw up, even when configured correct. OneDrive have lost many files for people to the point that Microsoft more or less apologised for it in 2015.

Maybe GNOME and Mozilla will consider a separate download/package where it is enabled by default, like gnome-desktop-middle-click-to-paste-enabled :D

That was early windows xp era though

I know AMD had some issues a long time ago with thermal protection. Tom’s Hardware made a video on YouTube where they tested what happens when removing the CPU cooler on a system running Quake 3. As I remember it, all the Intel CPUs survived but most, if not all, the AMD CPUs died, one also damaging the motherboard.

Added bonus is that you always have a screen and keyboard attached in case that you can connect to it remotely.

Good question. maybe I was wrong

Yes, from Debian 12, non-free-firmware is default. Makes it even easier to install.

You forgot the real actual reason: I don’t care about computer stuff. My current computer does what I want and I don’t care to switch.

It is okay not to have the interest in computers. I could probably change the oil on my car but I don’t care and don’t want to do the work, so I don’t do it (the mechanic does).

Yeah, I read this as: YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID, I AM MUCH BETTER THAN YOU

That is really a good way to communicate.

I agree, just have it by project. Otherwise I might have to look in different folders to find something. And what does it add, that something is grouped by language?

I remove files and folders older than 30 days in my Downloads folder. But my work does make me download things that I often only need for less than a day. If I need to keep something, then it goes into whatever folder or online service where it should be. It is deleted to my trash bin and that has another 30 days before being permanently deleted. I haven’t had to pick anything out of the trash just yet.

That is just so sad that it’s the way you have to do business. Constant praising and sucking up.

I disliked that look back then and I still don’t like it now. After being happy for GNOME, I’ve now moved over to Xfce. Just random info from me.

They also have LinuxZip installed

A thought, as I don’t know the answer, but a lot of these VPN providers provide access to VPN exit nodes in multiple countries. So the VPN app could provide an interface to choose the exit node. And of cause other functionality like reminding you that you need to pay.

Agree - I’m sharing files, not databases…

I agree that there should be a grace period after payments are stopped before they delete stuff. But I see no reason that they should provide you with free access to their service - if you haven’t paid, service is cut off.

But that is just my opinion.

If you pay them to store your files and you then stop paying - should they then provide the service for free?

I have tried twice getting a notice of failed payment due to change of banks and therefore change of credit card. But then I gave it the new card’s details and everything was good. However, I don’t remember if I was passed some doomsday deadline or not.

Not saying it’s not an issue and I would consider it bad business for Microsoft to delete users data without proper notifications and a long enough time frame to fix any payment issues. However, deleting data online is not ransomware - if Microsoft deletes the data, then they have nothing to hold ransom.

What ransomware?
