I haven't seen a single consumer targeted 3D scanner that supports Linux. Some may work under Wine, but that's not the point.

Thanks for that. My dad bought a Sculpfun iCube Pro recently without checking if it would work with Linux. Going to have to upgrade is laptop to Kubuntu 24.04, but this may work.

There used to be LightBurn, but the Linux version was discontinued last year.

One thing I miss when using Explorer is Dolphin's split windows. Makes it so much easier to drag a file from one folder to another.

Google Wallet the only Android NFC payment system? I must be imagining being able to pay with EE MasterCard NFC on my Samsung S4 then?

How about some 50fps videos? Actually, I'd settle for 25fps.

Started with Acorn's MOS, then to RISC OS and finally to Linux. Got no plans on going anywhere near Windows or Mac OS.

Not every country uses 30/60fps like the USA, why not release them in 25/50fps too?

Do you honestly think that retail outlets will even consider selling computers without those stickers?
That's a tough question. At first we all assume that the stickers must be pretty important, but my guess (pre-looking-at-evidence) is that most retail sellers would in fact be willing to do just that, since users never asked for those stickers in the first place; they're ads.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. When Windows 8 comes out 'Windows 8 certified' will be all over the adverts and retailers such as PC World and Comet will be expected to say things like "this computer is better than that one because it is Windows 8 certified".

Does Rockbox on an iPod also count?

Don't worry Microsoft can't even release a version of Windows that uses the proper version of English rather than the American version! Favorits, color etc.
