Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

Pretty scant on details, something to move the stock price up a notch?

If I was to guess I would say we might get ai tools in the page builder interface next, urgggh

Don’t tell my wife! I’ve been looking for an excuse to move her onto Linux for years. I’m the IT guy for our company and frankly if something goes wrong with Windows I’m stuck.

Her laptop “won’t work” with Windows after October, ok?

If you don’t open external files there is no problem? We paid for it and it does the mail merge so that’s what we use. Been looking for Linux alternative with the same functionality and no luck so far, LibreOffice is almost but not quite good enough. Nobody else does mail merge from spreadsheet?

Also I’m guessing it will be more secure on wine

I looked it up there was an issue with btrfs just after they started Linux version which was why I stopped using it. That was a long time ago you are right, seems to be resolved now.

If it’s anything like Linux desktop the apps you really need (for me, WhatsApp) are going to be available in 10 years. After that it’s a short slide to “if you don’t have Linux (why not?) by the way here’s how to install on android/iOS if you must.”

At least that’s my experience as an early Linux on desktop adopter. Yes Linux is a niche thing in mobile at the moment but the truth is the developers are the ones who make it happen and they are already there.

This is actually a big comedy moment in South Africa - look up “Die Groot Tsek” on social media!

I have this exact situation with my wife’s work laptop, which can’t upgrade to windows 11. The requirements are pretty simple, something that runs Chrome and Dropbox as well as Microsoft Office 2007.

I’m going with Mint Cinnamon for her (I use arch & kde btw) - was pleasantly surprised to see Dropbox now has Linux support actually, haven’t looked at it for years!

Almost everything she uses her computer for runs in Chrome.

Theres a flatpak for that.

I suspect that Trump offering asylum to Afrikaners has more to do with USA being pissed at SA for the Gaza case than him thinking there is a “South African Genocide”. He’s just trying to stir the pot but generally South Africans don’t take this seriously. Some people on here though…

Played with my kid yesterday - event is over just get the latest update and Sober is working again

Sober works by emulating android with a few hacks to make desktop use better. Actually great and up to date flatpak

Yeah I was 100% Opera on desktop and mobile until they switched to chromium and broke everything from before. Still pissed about that, lost all my bookmarks and notes at one point.

Libreelec on raspberry pi 4 (Kodi) works for me but it really needs a new YouTube app. That’s the only issue really

What like OpenAI?

Deepseek api is down today - probably a result of their viral success recently…

Actually capacity exceeds the original spec. Battery indicator seems accurate though.

Thank you that was the idea, In the missing tutorial I explain that I used batteries from a power bank with a broken usb. So yeah re-using stuff, this tablet should last 10 more years at least! https://www.circusscientist.com/upgrade-your-tablet-with-replaceable-batteries/

Really? It never happened to me even after shorting one once… There are some super cheap ones at the local Chinese store I was thinking of trying out, the brand ones are pretty reasonable already though, so that’s what I use. Maybe will give the cheapies a miss at least for indoor projects

You are correct - I forgot to link to the tutorial page on my website where I’m pretty sure I explained that I’m fully aware of the risk and nobody should do this
