It makes me wonder why the package still auto updates if it detects you're using the driver that would be removed, surely it could do some checks first?
Would be vastly preferable to it just breaking the system.
Gotcha, that does make it significantly more difficult to block outgoing connections from some new executable, as most are likely to use port 443 like everything else does.
I'll have to research some more, I have Fedora on my laptop and it would be nice to have a comparable firewall.
Does the firewall on Linux work like Windows where you allow/block by process or executable name? Because that will stop malware or apps connecting to places you don't like.
Yeah stuff like that, but also the locally synced copy I would not trust no matter what as really any sync software can suddenly delete or corrupt files. Best to have at least 2 actual backups in place that are versioned and done daily or every few hours.
I can't imagine we currently produce enough electricity for every car to be electric.
Plus all the production processes for the cars themselves, and the energy to power them puts off waste heat. Even solar panels benefit from running cooler by having heat removed from them.
Surely there's a way to keep the older driver on Linux, its absurdly easy on Windows.
