I have had windows users tell me that a projector needs a usb adapter. While HDMI worked perfectly fine and I even got crazy high resolution (after configuring it myself in KDE)

Vga-hdmi adapters are trivial
Lol, apt changes your system in place and is pretty likely to break it.
Atomic upgrades are fast and reliable.
But windows updates break FAR less than a messy package based distro does, especially if you actually have package changes (i.e. not a stable distro, or a version upgrade)

Like with passkeys (getting better though) and encrypted RCS messages, this is a proprietary standard that still sadly offers way more security.
It is token based afaik and the secret is never shared or even readable by an attacker. This card can be stolen with a single swipe, all that is protecting you is the banking system being overly cautious and expecting their systems to fail, so you need to enter a pin code on higher transactions or your card is simply locked.
Paying with VISA card online is insane from a security perspective, made slightly less bad by requiring authentication with a proprietary TAN app.

1·1 month agoAV1 or HEVC (previously) seem to only be uses for high resolution video like 2K.
As there the difference is biggest, and lacking hardware support is fine.
I only use AV1 if possible, recent-ish Intel GPUs and phones support it fine.
Btw, my soon to be EOL Pixel can encode 1080p AV1 at 0,5x speed or so, using svt-av1 (the better, but software, encoder).

Like a very slow and unique site for downloading BluRay decryption keys. essential for playing them with VLC and potentially extracting the contents too.
There is a torrent for the current archive to prevent DDOSing the site further and make sure the incredibly valuable keys dont vanish forever!

Just choose anything. But really, you will be disappointed unless you use KDE on NixOS

You use a water cooker or an electric stove I guess, also you probably use a pot and dont heat it up in your hands
Or something, that metaphor makes no sense
