5.25" floppies were obsolete for years before they even installed the system in 1998. They could have been using compact flash cards by then.

Yes, you do have to log out for group changes to take effect.

The older versions were rather buggy on Wine. MO 2.5 and newer work great, but they need Wine 9 to run.

I just wish they would start making them with a sub pixel layout that works with sub pixel antialiasing. Text looks awful without it unless the monitor has a really high DPI.

They shouldn't be locked at all. If the phone is included with the contract, it probably requires you to pay it off if you cancel early anyways.

The orange indicating gel is less toxic, but it's still not good for you. Don't dry any indicating silica gel in the same oven you use for food. The clear silica gel is non toxic, but breathing the dust can cause silicosis.

I would return that shit immediately. There is absolutely no use for smart functionality in a computer monitor. I would suspect it's a TV sold as a monitor and will have the same issues as using a TV as a monitor.

It was buggy and crashed a lot, but at least there was no telemetry.

You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.

Yandex is extremely useful for finding obscure stuff that doesn't show up on the usual torrent sites.

That's the same way it works on the fediverse. You post something publicly and anyone can see it regardless of whether you block them or not.
