Can confirm, in my head op's post meant : "I replaced some old appliance with something quite standard that won't bother me for years". The fizzing is just replaced with the warmth of undisturbed uptime after about 4-5 years

I live in an area which has seen quite a few wildfires, and everytime they are put out with these planes using sea water. Never stopped anything from growing back, and it does grow back very fast !

For some reasons, there are now two models settings pages. One in the workspace, and another one in the admin settings (the old one was moved here). The feature you are looking for was probably just moved in the admin settings page

I went the /e/os way and quickly turned back. Not to dismiss the effort of the maintainers, but it really felt like a frontend on lineage os meant to sell alternative cloud services. I did not find convincing arguments over a bare lineage os and the pretty much forced /e/ cloud was a total turn off.

I went the "real" security / privacy way and switched to grapheneos. Very happy overall, already went thought with 2 major os updates, no issues whatsoever. Only issue would be if you want Google pay (won't work on graphene). You'd need a pixel phone if that's in your budget. The pixel phones are great at photos, but pretty "meh" otherwise

I've not used it for quite a bit, but look at Thunderbird (a mozilla project iirc), it might do what you want as far as email is concerned. However do note that Microsoft is really closing things down in outlook/office these days, they really don't like people using a "real" Linux (they want people to use windows with all their crap and start menu ads, and just have a small Linux VM they call the wsl )

The massive influx of new ratings could also simply be linked to the fact that the game is included in this month's humble choice, adding a ton of new players

I've seen this news published at a few different places, and IIRC they plan to use already existing exploits. You can read a bunch about what could potentially be used on the grapheneos website, specifically on how the modem and cellular network stack is very highly privileged on android at least, and it is very likely that most cellphones are vulnerable to some kind of code injection via a stingray, for example.

That's pretty much what DRM does, keeping us out of the inner working of stuff
