Sometimes I do that on purpose for the noise canceling.

Advocates Warn of ‘Forced Labor’ Camp for Homeless People in Utah Designed to Enforce Trump Order
Forced Labor is just a euphemism for enslavement.

Trump assessed by 22 medical specialists at latest checkup; The White House has declined to identify the physicians.
That seems like a completely normal amount of medical specialsts needed for a routine checkup.

Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch
Reply in thread
No they do not have copies of every Bitlocker key.
Bitlocker by default creates a 48-bit recovery code that can be used to unlock an encrypted drive. If you run Windows with a personal Microsoft account it offers to backup that code into your Microsoft account in case your system needs recovered. The FBI submitted a supoena to request the code for a person's encrypted drive. Microsoft provided it, as required by law.
Bitlocker does not require that key be created, and you don't have to save it to Microsoft's cloud.
This is just a case of people not knowing how things work and getting surprised when the data they save in someone else's computer is accessed using the legal processes.

What’s a good terminal emulator for windows to connect to ssh and WSL?
Microsoft Terminal supports tabs and custom profiles.
It can host Azure CLI, PowerShell, CMD.exe, and Bash.
Windows ships with openssh that is usable in any of the supported cli.
I use it all the time for work to ssh into systems.

Ex-Microsoft engineer rebuilds Notepad in 2.5KB using nothing but stuff Windows already had
I just uninstalled the UWP Notepad and use the old one. But I guess some people need hobbies.

The Jolla phone
Reply in thread
SailfishOS's underlying system and applications are open source. Jolla has a proprietary UI and android compatibility layer they run on top of it. The UI can be replaced with open source community ones. Its similar to Android in its open source nature.

That is true, don't even need to change icons.
Years ago when I lived with my parents I had my mother's desktop setup with a dual boot testing things in KDE 3. Went to get a snack and came back to my mother sitting there playing kmahjongg.
She spent two hours playing kmahjongg and kpatience before she yelled wanting to know where her microsoft picture-it was. Never even noticed she wasn't in Windows.

Looks more like generic political campaign fund raising spam than Hakeem Jeffries inviting him to dinner.

Wine 11 brings huge WoW64 overhaul, NTSYNC boost, and better gaming on Linux
Already downloaded and built it on Slackware.
Was able to get Fallout 3 running on it without mods or community patches. Working fairly well, as long as its run windowed fullscreen I can tab out and back without it crashing.

Its difficult to vote to keep people from voting. When people are allowed to vote Republicans lose elections.

Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’
Reply in thread
Sure.
I have a cheap $250 AMD APU based mini pc I bought off Amazon running SteamOS. I just used the Steam Deck restore USB image to install it. I imagine you could use the Steam Machine image the same way when its available.
