This actually exists, but for a different operating system. The AS400 (aka iSeries) had a command line where programs had a standard way to specify parameters, so that pressing a prompt key (F4) would allow you to build the proper command line by filling a form. I do miss that, pity it doesn’t exist for Linux.

You can get Mint on a “Live” USB flash drive, so you can boot it up and see if it handles all your hardware before you install anything.

Sounds like sleep. Hibernate is when it turns completely off, such that you can leave it unplugged for a weekend and still have battery when it pops you back into your session. It takes longer to save and restore the session than sleep does.

But obsolete jobs do become hobbies.

When you have a few inches flat at the end, fold it over and tape it. Repeat as needed.

There will probably be a new app for the new chairs. You’ll have to upgrade the chair to keep using the app support.

Wilson manufactures many types of sports balls, including basketball, volleyball, tennis, and golf. The one in Castaway was a volleyball.

Nearly all such software support CUDA, (which up to now was Nvidia only) and some also support AMD through ROCm, DirectML, ONNX, or some other means, but CUDA is most common. This will open up more of those to users with AMD hardware.

I really miss home and end on my laptop keyboard. (Hate needing to use the Fn+Home key each time.)

Some nations would be worth more per person to a data broker than others. How many billions have no Internet? How many have little money to spend on the companies the data broker sells to? Americans and Europeans would be at the top of the list, per capita, and could easily exceed $1000, and the total would just barely top 1 trillion.

Many more recent cars will do this automatically at high throttle conditions, such as acceleration to pass.

You can set up a command line to start VLC using the OS’s built in task scheduler.

All true, but nothing reflects 100% even in the best case.

If they are wearing white, all the better to see them, and use a variety of guns on them. Besides, no white is perfect, even when clean, (which won’t last long) so the laser would still chew them up.

It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.

Should be better since they usually don’t have an uplink capability. But be real careful of any model that has Internet for any reason.

The rights in the fourth amendment are generally a limit on the government, not what a third party does when it has a TOS/contract with you allowing it to do things.

The voter registration itself is technically a public document, as well. (Political campaigns get lists of all registered voters pretty easily for their mailings.)

To be fair, customer support is often the way hackers bypass these protections.

The SMS vulnerability is not because of your apps. It’s because of the LTE protocol itself. It can be intercepted or redirected without touching your phone.
