Do banking apps work normally if downloaded from the aurora store? I'd very much like to fully degoogle my next phone when I get to replacing it, and it's the last stumbling stone

Good one, added it to my Powershell profile for the occasional giggle so I can invoke it on demand, feel free to reuse it

function Insult { (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://cheswick.com/insults") .ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("p")[2].innerText } #Outputs a random quality insult!

Note: delete the space behind insults") Formatting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn it, I just realized AWS online exams for certification are pretty much the same if you read the TOS, I just might book a exam in a physical exam center. Too many unknown ifs and I don't have to expose my machine.

What other raid could he have on a two drive NAS? I have the same setup at home with some push to the cloud and have the peace of mind that if one drive fails I can recover from it with a rebuild of the other drive

Well VPN is off the table as almost all of them will be blocked by russia's regulators

I have a hunch if they remained on android core and specifically prevented sideloading it would spark more backlash than simply switching to another platform. This way they gain complete control of the ecosystem with less backlash. Less tech savvy people will buy it, and more tech literate people will skip it altogether as they couldn't profit off them anyways.

I totally interpret this as a move to prevent any sideloading and ensure data collection and ad injection are being done on their part. Can't easily prevent those on something that's not a fully baked Android.

There's the odd game that uses registry for the purpose of save files for some reason, which is stupid when you have several PC's and want to sync progress for the odd session. There's one example with a very solid puzzle game (Lyne; https://store.steampowered.com/app/266010/LYNE/) that used registry but I see they now have Steam cloud on the profile page but back in the day I had to export registry keys to not have to replay the same puzzles, not fun.

Care to share that one?

It's actually worse, they pulled the legacy version from the users and forced the (effectively) downgraded version to everyone. Even the owners of the legacy version were shafted as they forced a update which removed much of the functionality of the legacy version. To this date still the best version was the pre-patch one for everyone who has the original installers and the latest pre-upgrade patch

Yeah, the irony in that one is great

It's probably just WebView but from the UI and elements it was obvious that it's IE-based. What's also interesting is that for the manual's videos Flash was required which now obviously doesn't work as it was removed via cumulative updates on W10

IE is used in some unexpected places, one of the weirder ones for example a ingame display frame for the ingame wiki of older Total War series games. They'll need to update the game and replace it in some way else ingame help will be unavailable when they remove it via an update.

I don't opening it at any point before decomissioning it completely is even an afterthought with that. They just write off any failures and roll with it as long as it's viable.

Anybody care to make a Archive snapshot of the article?

"Hello Computer" seems pretty neutral, it reminds me of this sketch from IT crowd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu88J5JL8Hw

The ages old AMD philosophy, shovel more cores at it? With such low TDP it might work

Also a stellar Photoshop alternative is Paint.NET https://www.getpaint.net/

I wasn't happy with GIMP's interface since way back but this one fulfills pretty much my every need, and I gather would for most other users too (excluding heavy professional users). Give this one also a spin

Do you have an example article or resource for such a use? I'd like to carry over notifications to the IM instead of cluttering my e-mail needlessly.
