If you smoothened out the earth, how high would the water level be?
This sounds like a question for XKCD. Along with how could we flatten it out.

Nova Launcher could soon add a proactive AI assistant that sucks up all your data

Octopi Launcher is damn near a replacement. Learn nothing new, muscle memory for swiping up or down on dock icons to open other apps.
Those were my requirements and it nails it.

I have an idea! What if we made a show where everyone sucks?

A fully local RaspberryPi-friendly voice assistant
Is this the last part I need to actually now bin the Google Home devices?
I use them to switch lights, listen to music and change the temperature.
With this, could I use that as the voice commands into home assistant for example?

If we clearly have to pay for.something, instead of it being wrapped into a license of so many things, I will push for us to take Zoom.
It just works better.
Annotating on screen is worth it alone, instead of trying to talk the screen sharer to what part of the screen you want to talk about.

All of his videos are like that.
The one that sticks with me is Apple Glarse, his renaming of their Glass UI design.

100k rows is a small data set for a lot of what I look at, but that is at work.
Let me split it down.
For work use, 100% has to be Excel. For personal use, either of the FOSS is more than enough.

Updating BIOS via Linux ?
Reply in thread
I think they, and others, are telling you the manufacturer has given you the choice of use Windows, or dont update.
And I get it, that is a not a great choice.
But if you want the update, use peoples suggestions.

It is laziness on my part. I want to tell the Google home to play music.
I should just get a Bluetooth speaker and do this, shouldn't I

I made an alternative to Gmail.
Will this be a paid for service?
We all need to realise, check what you are looking at and their business practice.
If it does what you need and does not exploit you, pay for the service!
Best of luck to you.

Octopi Launcher. Until I found this I was ignoring all the red flags with Nova.
Found this, ran away from Nova.

No, the US Purism phone is not 100% American.
They have a different supply chain for it where European manufacturers are used for some parts.
But some things are only made in China. So I think what was said is Purism source some of the raw materials for these items and have them made to a higher tolerance for reliability.

An Airbus A320 Neo recently lost all 3 hydraulic systems at the exact same time while in cruise. They are supposed to be redundant. How come Airbus hasn't grounded the A320 Neo?

The series seems to be held up as this pinnacle of gaming that we should all be grateful to pay through the nose for.
The latest release or one from 5 years ago.
Milk that reputation.

Personally, it never occurred to me. I had been using Google Podcasts and even before they announced it was EOL, it was getting annoying.
Spotify was there, had everything, so I used it. They keep putting their prices up and I am ready to leave.
What podcast app would you recommend?

If you can block all DNS traffic on you router, you can them redirect it to your own DNS server.
And PiHole seems to be the one many people use for that. Lots of guides for it, pre-made list on what to block etc.
