For some reason New Pipe just doesn't work on my me device

Ad blockers are useful for more than just YouTube. So they are not going anywhere. However it will be a bummer if we can no longer block YouTube ads.

On android I have to endure the ads but on desktop I never see them.

I highly recommend 1Password. It's cross platform, including Linux, and it's not only a great and sort l super secure password manager, but it also does 2FA codes and if you use their auto fill tool, it will also paste the 2FA code to clipboard so you can paste it in seamlessly.

Everything is full encrypted and needs a really long, unique to you, key to decrypt. So no one will be hacking this anytime soon. Even 1Password cannot open your vault.

I don't like this Altman guy I've bit. He's a punk. I think it was a mistake on Apple's part to partner with him.

Let's hope they can offer alternatives in the near future.

Cyprus. Also in the EU but no official sales or support. I'm sure it's the same in most countries in South America, Africa, Asia and the Far East.

I have a great pocket camera but it's not practical to carry it wherever I go. Most photos are taken spontaneously and for that reason you want a great camera on your smartphone.

Also, most Android phones cannot capture RAW.

😂. Good one! Touché

Tell me about it. An over 3 year old chip and still flogging it as if it's new. Which means all the phones in that segment will still be only as powerful as 3 year old budget phones.

That is disgusting. Shame on them.

I understand. You have to do what you have to do to survive. In that case make the best of the Windows pc and do your work to their satisfaction. Making a living is more important than what OS you use.

Sounds like they are giving you crap hardware. Also, the IT guy should set up the VM and make sure it works.

Also, as a dev you should INSIST that you MUST HAVE Linux available as well. You are the dev, you know what tools you need, it's not up to the IT guy to decide what software you need

I say this as an IT Tech/Admin who was responsible for running all the IT at my company offices. I had about 350 users/PCs to administer plus servers, printers, telephone system, door entry system, switches, WiFi system etc...

If a new guy started they told me what software he would run and what spec was needed and I'd get the right pc for the job and deploy the software needed. Not tell them what to use.

I'm not saying that because I like iPhones.

You are in the US so pixels are widely available and cheap. As is the FE series.

Where I live, outside the US, the Pixel is not sold nor will Google let you buy it. So pixel is a no go.

The Fan Edition Samsung costs virtually the same as the regular edition where I live, if you can find an FE. It costs €700+...

99% of our population can only afford €250-300 phones. €700 is out of reach unless you're single, hehe a great job and still live with mum and dad. Or you are the 1%.

So at that price ALL the android cameras are shit, shit, shit.

So, if I import from the UK a used iPhone 12 it will cost about €350. At that price NOTHING can touch it below €700.

Everything below €700 is Chinese cheapie and Samsung cheapie, also known as crap phones.

 

A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.

 

Pro photographer Olle Nillson goes out on a forest stakeout to capture stunning bokeh shots of birds. The results are stunning.

If you're interested in seeing how other Xperia models perform, check his other videos. Production value of off the charts.

I promise you they are well worth your time.

 

I'm struggling to find good offline, preferably paid or with 1 time in app purchase, games for Android.

All the popular ones just want to milk you on IAP. I prefer to make 1 payment and be done.

I'm looking for something along the lines of Double Dragon but optimistised for modern screens. Some arcade action adventure with a story and progression.

Can't find anything.

 

I was impressed by how light the RAM usage is on Linux Mint 21.2. I made a live usb and at cold boot was around 745MB which was only slightly higher than MX Linux. Very impressive considering how much more modern Cinnamon is and how much better it looks.

I was on Ubuntu which was using 1.6GB at idle and since my machine has fixed RAM of 4GB, I thought it best to switch to something lighter.

So I installed it and couldn't be happier. It's very snappy, looks incredible and works intuitively.

Great job Linux Mint team 💪
