Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn’t the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary “evil”.

Here’s the information about it. It’s anonymous and It can be turned off https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
Meanwhile Windows regularly gets hung up for several minutes on the “shutting down…” screen for no fucking reason. Only happens when I’m in a hurry too.
On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.
Ok, but anyone with a monster energy tattoo needs to be bonked on the head. It’s 2024 for crying out loud! I thought we were passed this!
I have a core i3 system with a PCIe SAS controller and 8x 8TB drives in RAID 6. It currently hosts my Jellyfin library, Immich library, and is also my primary fileserver for the LAN. I actually just moved my old 4x 5TB array from that machine over to my primary desktop to hold my Steam library. Pretty good setup if you like to tinker around with stuff.
I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.
It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.
Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.
I’ve had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.
This sounds like a plot from fallout.
I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.
SERIOUSLY. I’m currently stuck with an iPhone and was so annoyed when I found out you just couldn’t define the snooze duration. Like, what?
Because it undermines the departments authority to make decisions regarding the systems they manage. Sure him having solitaire in and of itself isn’t a big deal, but it sets precedence that decisions made by the department can be overridden if someone simply complains loudly enough. This could be particularly dangerous in the case of new or tightened security policy put forth by the department (this exact scenario did actually playout with another individual a few years later regarding password policy)
Yes, unfortunately in the end he got his way.
Some-what related funny story: at my old job we removed the built-in games from Windows as part of our Windows 7 rollout. Most people didn’t even notice, but the director of public safety was so upset that he demanded (not just asked) we put them back on his computer. When we refused he went to his DOCTOR and got a note stating that he needed Solitaire on his work PC as it helped him manage his anxiety. I was flabbergasted.
What would you suggest then? They’ve been unable to sustain themselves via donations alone.
