I was asking myself the same thing. The way I see this, creating a FlatPak is kind of like we used to compile with static linking; all the dependencies were there because they were included in the binary. It made for huge binaries but sometimes you didn't have the right to redistribute libraries so it was your only option.

Maybe I'm missing the point of FlatPak...

Well, I'm sure everyone is thinking it: who's the person who had this dumb idea?
Resetting passwords after a hack is one thing but making them all the same? This is an epic blunder

They should probably lock every account now and start a reset of password with unique ones for each account. I'm not sure how you would go about this, I don't know their system but there has to be a way.

Anyway, let the hacking begin.
Have a great day everyone!

...because it rarely works out in favor of the customer.

It's sold as "It will make sure you only pay for what you use and in the long run saves you money" but then they start to nickel and dime you for just about everything.

Of course by the time you realize that, the subscription version is the only version you can get and are stuck paying more than what you were paying for your old license.

Whenever possible, I avoid subscription software for this very reason. When I can, I switch to a more cost-certain way of buying software.

Just my view.
Have a great day.

Comment I don't know if I can trust that CPU list... (Score 1) 236

I don't know if I can trust that list of CPU that Microsoft says won't run Windows 11 for a very simple reason: According to their website, my CPU (An old Intel Core i7), should not be able to run Windows 10 20H2 and yet it runs it just fine.

Could this be a case of "it will run but is officially not supported"?

Comment Not a big fan of more touchscreen (Score 1) 187

I'm not a big fan of more touchscreen in a car for one simple reason: a touchscreen offers no tactile feedback and I have to look at it to make sure I'm hitting a screen "button". A physical button offers tactile feedback that I can feel with my hand without having to look at it.
My car has a touchscreen for the radio but it also has physical buttons that I can use if I don't want to look at a touchscreen. Volume, tuning up and down and mute. Yes it is duplication but it also gives me options. If I want to do something more complex like tuning a specific station, I have to use the touchscreen to enter frequency numbers directly but I can do that later when it is safer.

Just my opinion and no one else's.
Have a great day

Comment If my (censored) ISP supported it... (Score 1) 390

...I'd be more incline to do the move myself. The problem is when you ask if or when it will be available, you get the long pause and the "We don't know". My ISP, who shall remain nameless at this point, doesn't appear to have a plan. FOr the size of their organization, you would think they have a plan or at least are looking at it but their front line makes them look amateur-ish.

I will not name my ISP but I'm in Canada and they are based out of Toronto...lol. (This should tell you who they are...)

We should start calling them once a day and politely request IPv6 support once a day every day. (Politely because I'm canadian...lol)

Here in Toronto, Rogers does this on a routine basis. Tried to get them to stop this sh*t but the person onthe phone was either too thick to understand or simply didn't care enough. Sucks really bad. Rogers used to be this great company but they are sinking to new lows every day.

Quebec ISP To Terminate Subscribers Over Copyright 290

An anonymous reader writes "Quebecor, which owns Quebec's biggest ISP, has thrown in with Hollywood interests by arguing for the 'graduated response' approach that would kick off subscribers based on three allegations of infringement. The company told Canada's telecom regulator that net neutrality rules are not needed since content blocking has social benefits, including the potential for a three-strikes-and-you're-out policy."
