It’s a machine. It doesn’t understand the concept of consent or anything else for that matter.

The permission request has to do with spectrum not launch. The title is just crap.

??? My 2012 MacBook Pro had FireWire, that’s the year Lightning came out…

Wha?

AFAIK FireWire is part of the Thunderbolt protocol, you can get FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapters. Apple even used to sell one.

Did yours have the little sticky bit at the top back so you could “pin” it to your shirt too?

I’ve been in software development for 15 years and never had a manager that wasn’t at least a little bit of a micromanager. The reality is that it rarely takes 8 hours or more to do the things that need to be done in a day but the expectation most often is still that if my AuDHD ass isn’t in my often windowless office for 9 hours a day then I must not be working.

Any company going this far will almost certainly be requiring device management on whatever device you put your work email on. So if you have your email on your personal phone the likelihood that they can already track your location 24/7 using your phone’s gps is extremely high.

I’m currently moving from a place where my only options are AT&T or the cable company to a place where my only options are AT&T or the cable company.

This is also similar to why there is about a 15 year lag in nostalgic items becoming more expensive to collect. That’s about how long it takes for people to get enough of their own money to buy the things they missed out on as kids. I have actually started hearing people refer to this as the ‘quarter life crisis’ and there seems to be an equal misunderstanding around it.

They are called Gull-Wing Doors and yes, the model X.

Put a clinic there so the citizens will stop getting sick.

I understand where you are coming from. But I am a standard transmission kinda person.

Okay, but writing a .desktop file takes like 10 seconds.

So deal with Reddit style mods and hoops and maybe you can do exactly what you are already doing? No thank you.

The main issue with that is MS made a million different versions of Vista and some of them had significantly higher requirements than others. So you had OEMs selling machines that were ‘Vista Ready’ in the lead up to launch but they barely made the requirements for the basic version. Then you had people going to Best Buy and getting the premium version and having a horrible experience.

I had Vista on my MacBook Pro and it was a a solid OS, especially if you needed 64-bit support. In fact the Pro was PC Magazine’s #1 pick for Vista machines which caused quite a stir at the time when Bootcamp was still new.

95 didn’t even ship with FAT32 support originally. I agree with the original comment that it wasn’t until the OSR versions that it got good. But they never sold those in the box, you could only get an OSR version from a prebuilt compute. So a lot of people never experienced them or didn’t experience the original 1995 version of 95 that still required 8 character filenames.

On Fedora I go to the repo (app store) and install the Nvidia drivers… on windows I have to download them from the Nvidia site. I’m not sure what you are talking about. Linux is easier but it’s pretty much the same process.

For Logitech use Solaar, also available in most distribution’s repos.

I would definitely try it without the KVM at all and see if it still happens.

Paying money to prevent spam is different than paying money to avoid helping people and doing your share in society.

In fact, recreating the computing experience of the Commodore 64 (and BBC Micro as they are a British foundation) was one of the specific purposes of the Raspberry Pi.
