That’s impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•[RESOLVED] How can i see the file size of a page, counting media?English6·9 days agoDown at the bottom of the network tab, it will tell you the total size.
The first column is the total size of the page, the second is how much was actually downloaded. That will be smaller if the web server uses compression or if any of the files are already cached.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•Lorde Fans Are Complaining That Her New Translucent CD Won’t Play on Their CD PlayersEnglish27·10 days agoHow is that even supposed to work? The laser beam has to be reflected back down to the sensor in order to read the CD.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•How's is Thunderbird? Does anyone even use it?English2·11 days agoIt slows down when you have tens of thousands of emails in one folder. Archiving old emails by month helps keep it running smoothly. For some reason, it won’t let you do that with gmail accounts unless you archive to a local folder though.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.English6·12 days agoDual booting on separate drives is safe, especially if you unplug the windows drive while installing Linux so you can’t accidentally mix them up. Just don’t mess with the windows drive from Linux. It’s probably encrypted if you’re running windows 11 anyways.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•Let’s Encrypt ends certificate expiry emails to cut costs, boost privacyEnglish3·13 days agoSometimes they fail to update. I would imagine that there are quite a few people who don’t bother setting up monitoring software to let them know if the certificate fails to update.
Some MediaTek WiFi cards are not supported. I had to replace one in a laptop.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user baseEnglish71·13 days agoMaybe, but only if everything you do is in a web browser. Google is much worse than Microsoft when it comes to privacy though.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•Let’s Encrypt ends certificate expiry emails to cut costs, boost privacyEnglish72·13 days agoThere will probably be a lot more websites with expired certificates soon.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•HDMI 2.2 spec released with 96Gbps bandwidth and 16K supportEnglish8·17 days agoOK, let me know when I can buy a TV the size of an IMAX screen to take advantage of that resolution.
Mod Organizer 2 works great with wine and proton. Installation is a bit complicated though. The recent versions of MO2 require wine 9 or newer.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•We solved the Smartphone Keyboard problem back in 2013… It’s time to bring this concept backEnglish16·20 days agoI would much rather have a slide out keyboard.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on UbuntuEnglish7·21 days agoEdit from MS-DOS still came with Windows XP and I think it was in 7 too. Did they remove it in later versions?
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux onEnglish1·24 days agoI ran Damn Small Linux on it about 15 years ago. That worked pretty well and it would even run a web browser. It would probably boot Tiny Core Linux, but there wouldn’t be much RAM left to run any programs. The motherboard supports 128MB, but it’s not really worth the cost to upgrade it though.
I may see about resurrecting that computer. I’ve got an old Motorola police radio that I would like to reprogram to operate in the 2M ham band and I think that PC will run the programming software.
cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.zip•Makers of air fryers and smart speakers told to respect users’ right to privacyEnglish5·24 days agoDon’t install their apps either unless it’s on an old phone that you’ve wiped all of your personal data from.
If you only need 2D, there is LibreCAD.
