So… now you can’t access quick settings at all with one hand? I’ve managed to avoid the stupid huge buttons so far by sticking with Samsung but can’t do that forever.

Not exactly mine but I’ve used it. I have a fast but data-limited internet connection and a slower unlimited connection. When I need the faster connection to do something I connect to it through wifi while staying connected to the other through Ethernet. Then use this project to bind a specific app to wifi while everything else keeps using Ethernet. It uses LD_PRELOAD to link its own version of network connect that calls the real method. There’s definitely a better way to do this with iptables but it’s a good enough patch for when needed.

I’ve gotten pretty used to DDG’s interface. I’ll try kagi at some point but I don’t know if I’d use it full time.

It kinda depends what you’re looking for. For technical stuff DDG is much better than Google (I don’t know about kagi) but for local information Google still gives better results. Google seems to return what it thinks you want to search for and not what you actually tell it to so for exact searches it’s always worse. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for Google can be better sometimes.

And there goes the rest of my afternoon

If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use ftp://phone-ip on the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.

Let alone Spain has already implemented a system for this which is part of a bigger EU effort. https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-builds-porn-passport-to-stop-kids-watching-smut/

Sadly, I don’t think this is going away.

Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.

Not sure about hangout, meet works fine just without some features. The main ones are sharing a specific tab and blurred/custom backgrounds but there might be some other minor stuff that I’ve never tried.

Imo it doesn’t make much sense to advertise an OS while it’s still required to install it manually. Last time I was looking for a laptop I couldn’t find a store selling anything with Linux or even without Windows pre-installed. How many people will be convinced by an ad to look up instructions online and actually go through the process?

“C is accessible” is not something I expected to read today

The original image said windows where this would be accurate but I doubt it applies to the average linux user

Yeah that’s what I usually do

DuckDuckGo as a default with Google as fallback depending on what I’m looking for. For lemmy the default search of my instance works well enough so haven’t tried external engines.

Also worth mentioning you can copy more files on it afterwards and it works as normal storage too.

I’ve had that issue with windows. Will also see myself out.

Sorry gotta disagree here. I know several people who use Workstation professionally. Even on Linux

If you don’t need many features it’s easier to quickly set up and create a vm than VirtualBox. Well until now anyway. I haven’t tried the other alternatives mentioned here, they might be better in that aspect too.

Sadly that means the second screen not working properly

Honestly, I was forced to use it for a project and then just stuck with it for its simplicity
