  • I thought applet came first. Then "web apps" - but i think that's a windows perspective.

    This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/

    The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I'd still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.

  • Even the airline check in person doesn't bother to check/count the tickets.

    Before 9-11 it was pretty easy to get on a plane I guess.

  • Task manager

    Jump

  • At least those are handling actual data you're doing serious work with.

    Chrome is something I'd mostly be using for a few bits (well maybe Kbits) of reference text. I blame the websites as much as chrome itself. I assume the OS is smart enough to cache that somewhere though when I want the ram for something else.

    MS teams is just siting there eating c.1gb for nothing but to be an annoying pos. Outlook doing the same but not as much resources I think.

    But it's true when I have to kill a task it is much more likely to be one where I've knowingly put several GB of data into ram to do stuff with.

  • Do you still have one somewhere?

  • The ifixit toolkit has it - well with a hex shank.

    But the last time i actually opened that hatch, i had to split a sliver off a wooden stick (coffee stirrer).

  • I'm sure by windows 12 or 13 coprolite will be so good they will get rid of both control panel and command prompt/powershell. The best ui is no ui.

    In any case, the users won't want to mess with settings once the OS already knows which advert they want to see next.

  • Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android

    Jump

  • You have to be careful to get a phone and model supported by one of the projects. Check all compatibility and install instructions before buying a phone. And if you need a manufacturer supplied unlock code, make sure the manufacturer still gives them out . Some will discontinue that service after a few years.

    For graphene os you need one of the gogle devices - i've never tried it but i think its the one most people like.

    lineageos supports more devices usually older.

    I recently got lineageos working on sony experia xa2 - very happy with it. But to get there i had to go try like 6 computers before one of them sucessfully sent the bootloader unlock code over the ADB. For some reason usb is temperamental when doing stuff like that

    It is a lot easier on really old stuff like samsung galaxy s3 or s4 if you can tolerate something that old. Maybe you'll lso end upon an old version of lineage.

    Once you get the bootloader unlocked it is generally straightforward. but modern phones make that fist part awkward.

  • Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

    Jump

  • Personally I'd advise against linux then. even if it means a million downvotes here.

    Windows or actually OSX (if you're ok with mac hardware) or chromeos will work much better for people who don't ever want to do any basic configuration of their system. All of those have their own issues of course, so it's a tradeoff for the user to consider. If doing no basic config is the #1 requirement, then I think that rules out linux as the correct choice.

    If a user would stay maybe 12-24 months behind the cutting edge then they might be ok with a rolling release. The one time I did get a latest gen Wifi/BT card, I had to migrate from Debian to Arch to get it working.

    I belive the only way youll get that experince with linux is with defined hardware - laptops or steamdeck. Linux is never going to cover all possible bleeding edge hardware combinations in a custom PC with no user config effort.

    Until or unless linux becmes bigger than MS, and all HW manufactures get theur linux drivers working before the device goes on sale, as a matter of course. Never gonna happpen unless MS actually goes bust or something. I can't see linux ever competing in B2B market; do all linux distributers combined have the resources to smarm up to a million corpo procurement twats? I don't think so.

  • I see you have only two different answers so far. which is just not playing the game. i'll give you another two; there are at least 15 "best lightweight linux distro". For your use, I'd pick any one at random, try it out on a bootable usb.

    Personslly, I'd try stock debian and choose LXQT for a lightweight desktop.

    puppylinux also deserves a mention, I always have a bootble PL usb lying around somewhere. Its reliable , fast for a usb, very good potato-compatibility, has loads of useful programmes and utilitiea already in there. I've never actually installed it permanently though. Scared of making a commitment to slackware that I don't understand.

    I'd avoid Damn Small and Tiny Core though - unless you really need them. Cool as they are they are well out of mainstream.

  • Montana farmers see Canadian trade dry up due to tariffs

    Jump

  • Unfoortunately, it says prices (presumably domestic) dropped though - that should be good for US consumers, all else equal.

    I'd expect the people in Montana to have more/cheaper food in general at least in the short term. Farmers might make less profits, but even if they are making a short term loss - you'd expect them switch to a lower cost crop rather than stop production entirely.

    In this case it is the Canadians that suffer lower food supply.

    In the long run Montana food supply might suffer if their farmers struggle to get say fertiliser, pesticides, seed crops, bull semen, tractors and so on - that depends on their supply chain for those things.

    Lower income might also impact the state's general ability to import other stuff, exotic foods and luxuries, but as far as domestic food is concerned I'd think they'd be ok.

    A total cunt admitted he would allow American chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of a free trade deal with the US.
