Basically that. I don’t do it much anymore, but it used to be helpful.

Wow, getright! That’s a throwback. I used that in the 90s.

On linux I use aria2c for similar tasks. It can resume http downloads, as well as split them up into multiple threads for faster downloading.

It’s cli-based and powerful (therefore perhaps a bit confusing at first), but there are UIs for it as well for a more get-rightty experience.

I think jdownloader also has some application here, though it’s mostly for getting things from those ad-filled file hosting sites frequently used by those on the high seas

Plus they both play the game. It’s not like a little bribery or murder would weigh on their collective minds

Another random suggestion, I recently got a PC keyboard that can pair to multiple Bluetooth devices.

Now that I can hit a button and switch to my phone, I no longer hate SMS quite so much

I also 3d printed a phone stand for my desk, which it turns out makes typing on it a lot nicer too

Private jet instead of public transit

They are not requesting for info on running their own SMTP service that interacts with the greater internet.

Though even if they were, the difficulty is overstated. I’ve run my own for years.

Hell the X11 GUI predates Linux itself by a decade

Lazy comment

What you describe is literally a skill issue though, if they’re breaking unrelated components.

As much as I hate this saying, it sounds like a skill issue

I’ve done repairs on all my phones. New buttons, screens, batteries, ports, etc. I’ve never caused an unforeseen new issue by doing so.

Wouldn’t easy dragon dick also be a good time?

I’m thinking with dragon dick all times are good.

Perhaps I’m oversimplifying

Some pretty wild claims in there. It’s okay to just not like it without making stuff up like ‘Linux doesn’t support Logitech mice’ or ‘windows can never run a laptop battery to zero’.

Shift +f10 to open a command prompt in the installer

OOBE\bypassnro

It reboots and restarts the out of box experience, but this time ‘I don’t have internet’ will be available as an option

Bonus tip, don’t choose a password either, as it will force stupid recovery questions. You can add that after first boot with net user on the command line.

Dealer’s choice

Agree. And as someone who planted that tree 25 years ago, the shade sure is nice year after year.

yt-dlp is my go to. It’s the open source project most other things use behind the scenes

Small ups systems use sealed lead acid so venting isn’t a concern

Complete nonsense. Enterprise drives are better for reliability if you plan on a ton of writes, but ZFS absolutely does not require them in any way.

Next you’ll say it needs ECC RAM

And if you dont have ECC zfs just might save your bacon when a more basic fs would allow corruption

AI might improve their messaging soon
