Or wait for the patents to expire. H.264 won’t take to much longer to expire it’s around 12 years I believe and yet Google has released vp8.

Audio latency needs to be worked on but other then that virtualization does a pretty good job.
Try Google Fi support maybe.

Re:My macOS keyboard shortcuts on Friday April 01, 2022 @09:30AM (#30877869)
I have control and command swapped in system preferences and the only other key combo I use is the CMD+Tab and Ctrl+Tab[1]. I have no issues this way. I will say system preferences is where I put all other key combos linked to AppleScripts.

Re:Google Fi bricked my iPhone 11 Pro Max (2020) on Monday March 14, 2022 @09:10PM (#30680654)
As a Best Buy part time employee the correct answer is that we don’t sell the newest iPhone models unlocked in stores. Refurbished models are the only iPhones we sell unlocked in our store. Online that’s is a different matter entirely and yes there are some newer models we sell unlocked online but it’s minimal because of fraud.
Re:Google Fi bricked my iPhone 11 Pro Max (2020) on Monday March 14, 2022 @09:07PM (#30680627)
As a disclaimer(I work at Best Buy and) we don’t sell phones unlocked unless they are refurbished which tend to be much older models so something does seem a miss slightly.

They need an emulate chrome option: Match keyboard shortcuts, menu, and compact layout. I have said this before.

The Spectrum Roku app is solid because I use it as an alternative to cable. Roku has a no 3rd party tracking policy(according to the roku rep and from my testing.)
Yes this is true for appliances not so much for electronics. Just follow the apple products as an example. By the time Black Friday roles around we have the newer laptops and the older ones are almost always on sale.
Please correct if I am wrong but schools can start to require them similar to immunizations. Won’t help now but years later we have basically everyone vaccinated.

If you are including YouTube streaming then yes ad revenue from this wasn’t that late to the game, but Spotify and pandora took over a decade to grow any meaningful market share.

Aren’t inkjets better for photos?

The exchanges are much better then nothing but aren’t great. Alternative autoimmune disease so let’s say diabetes(example IBD) are not covered with out huge deductibles. I know because I have experienced this.
So you are saying Medicaid/Medicare? Where do you put all your money into a house?
Re:My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs on Wednesday August 25, 2021 @04:29PM (#28306503)
If you have an Apple store near by they'll set it up for dual boot. If you don't mind do it yourself partition and install the installer to thumb drive.

I don't condone piracy but you can download the old installers(get creative) md5 checksum it and simply reinstall the old OS. I am still running a 2012 macbook pro for video editing with final cut pro.

Buy a Japanese keyboard and you have thumb toggles on you laptop/desktop amoung many other keys.
Forgive me but what is wrong with the AP classes/exams. And yes you can take them with out taking the class(I did.)
You had to have a permit before.

Is it safe if I simply add 2 factor authentication(edit: change password of course also) or do I need to add something else?

Re:Breeze Keyboard on Thursday May 20, 2021 @12:12PM (#27223040)
An ergonomic keyboard can be more comfortable to type on.

If you are just looking for additional keys or thumb modifiers I would go with a Japanese keyboard[1]. They are cheaper and very standardized.

An increased risk of cancer[1] makes this even worse.
