Once upon a time, it was called changing boards on a forum.

I guess from a consumer perspective, it can be more convenient (e.g. wireless charging in a car)

For me, I see it as a way to reduce wear on a charging port, or as an alternative if the port does fail.

I like it for the latter as I don't like my devices to be inefficient but it makes me feel better that should the USB-C fail on my phone, it's not game over for my phone.

Broken BIOS on a PC. You can basically throw out your motherboard

Can confirm, bricked a Latitude E6420 trying to put coreboot on it and completely missing an instruction in bright red bold text. Had a parts machine thankfully, and had to swap the boards.

Tab A7 Lite

Huh, that makes two of us. Hated every second of dealing with OneUI, back when I got it, GSIs were around but there was no straight forward guide. Now one does exist and oh boy, it feels like a completely different device with LOS and no gapps.

This announcement is for Brave hosting their own repository to host the Brave browser on that's compatible with F-Droid, rather than the Brave browser being added to F-Droid's official repository.

Otherwise, perhaps you meant that you did add their repo and it's still not showing up.

Both are accepted spellings, tire in the US and tyre in the UK

The fuck? First person I've met that objects to this. Even the sushi places usually throw in soy sauce for your spring rolls

Damn, I over thought it. I got "Imaginary cube sum of apple pi" before seeing the answers here.

Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.

I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is my pick.

I've got two study laptops and apart from Tailscale giving me some grief very recently with DNS resolution, I literally haven't had any problems with either machine. Both have been going for 1.5 years.

I like the LMDE route for the DE already having pretty decent defaults and not requiring much tweaking from the get-go. Xfce (as it ships by default in Debian) absolutely works, but I end up spending an hour theming it and adding panel applets and rearranging everything so that it... ends up looking similar to Cinnamon anyway, because default Xfce looks horrible in my opinion

 

Text description (for those with screenreaders):

A portion of a prime number checker written in the Rust programming language, where the first few lines are written correctly including the first if statement in the program. However, the following if statements are written using Python syntax instead of Rust, as the author slipped back into his native tongue.

 

I actually intended to post this to Reddit but I thought I would contribute content to here instead to get the ball rolling here and do my part.

Anyway, this is a Windows XP-era machine I have at work for testing, and I had just this monitor plugged into it and saw the CPU fan trying to spin. I spun it a bit myself and it just kept going. I disconnected the HDMI cable and it stopped.

The monitor is actually DisplayPort, with a passive adapter to HDMI which then goes to the HDMI cable connected to this PC. The GPU is just PCI-E. The computer has some old ~2007 AMD CPU in it. The GPU actually doesn't seem to work anyway, the PC posts normally but there's no image from either the GPU or onboard, but when putting either another GPU or no GPU, there's an image from the appropriate output.
