I used Gentoo on a K6 laptop and it "only" took about three days to rebuild the entire system. Updates were not a serious burden.

LibreOffice isn't as good as mickeysoft office, it's way better. The only thing Ms does better is that excel has live pivot tables

Run along, coward. I have people who are only stupid to mock.

I've bought all kinds of stuff because people bought it to use with one Windows version and the very next version didn't support it. This is usually due to literal malfeasance on the part of the maker, not Microsoft. The new devices speak the same protocol and WOULD work with the new driver, but either the driver is coded to not work with them or even just the inf file doesn't have the right vid/pids. You can sometimes make them work with hackery but your average user can't do that. The idea that Windows has good hardware support is very stupid, but there's no shortage of stupid people here.

No, he means Notepad. Now with Copilot!

Hahahahahahahaha

Tech literate

You guys are hilarious

Hajahahahahhahahahaa

Things just work

Tell us you know nothing about Windows without telling us

People may simply be used to the cinematic look, but it might also be objectively better in some ways, hiding some defects for example.

I support this idea but it's not trivial to implement, some bills are big and cover a lot of related area for legitimate reasons (whether they have bullshit tacked on or not.)

Perhaps they simply don't believe that copyright terms should have been extended, and that culture belongs to The People, as copyright law used to acknowledge with its original period. Maybe the extremists are the ones that think that culture should never belong to The People, like you.

You can't trust that a Chinese RoHS label is legit, Chinese companies are slapping it on shit like shoelaces. Meanwhile China has an essentially impossible to comply with RoHS standard for goods sold in their country, where you are taking responsibility for the content of your product, and you cannot simply cite your suppliers' specifications.

30% (I know those are not real percentages but anyway) of Slashdotters would have turned in Anne Frank

And Clinton was happy to sign it. You don't just sign bad laws, you send them back and make the opposition pass it over your head if they have the will.

DJI drones phone home with location information as part of their basic functionality, so for these devices it's a valid concern.

Outside of these custom all-in-one ready to fly drones, drone motors are ALREADY like that. They come in well-defined sizes, they are rated by kV (thousands of RPM per volt) and they have standard mounting holes. If you just don't screw with the fully preassembled drones up front you can easily get that kind of parts interchangeability. You can also buy controller/radio combos which provide the same or superior range to what DJI offers, so the only benefit to buying a prebuilt drone is that you don't have to do anything, and it comes with a number of down sides.

I built my first quadcopter for under $200 all in, including a Devo 5 radio which I could load alternate firmware and an additional $10-ish radio transceiver module into so that it supports all of the major protocols. That's a price with regular range and without FPV, but the point remains — you don't need DJI.
