I use an HDMI switch and it works fine for me.

I assume someone accidentally hit their yubikey while logged into the CMS.

It runs Minix, as I recall...


> Lawyers want this all to work in Word.docx

You've got some bleeding edge lawyers if they're using Microsoft Word. The legal industry is one of the main reasons that WordPerfect continues to exist.


The entire publishing industry operates on Word too. https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2013/10/why-mic...


What do you mean "still" here? It seems like it's as bad as it ever was to me.


I do think that in Europe at least, it seems to be better. A bit more fencing it seems but the quality seems to be better than during covid from what I heard.


What do you mean, is a company named “TIFHSGFN” not normal??


I'd imagine that the Linux users who report success are probably more selective when it comes to hardware. It's been my primary OS for 25+ years and I've seldom faced compatibility issues, but I also do my research and buy accordingly.


I have never seen an 18-inch Chicago style pizza (assuming you mean the thick "deep dish" kind and not the thin "tavern style" kind). I've had them in a dozen places there, but I've neither seen nor heard of one > 14 inches.


When I applied for a business visa for India earlier this year, I had to submit a business card as part of the application process.

Since my company doesn't issue them, I created one of my own. I even printed it in case an immigration officer wanted to see it when I arrived there.


Was Texas the victim? If not, why shouldn't the actual victims get the money?


when someone litters on my lawn the administrative fine goes into the local/state budget, not my pocket.


When Illinois won a judgement, I received a check in the mail.


when someone steals your tv, the restitution is paid to the victims.


Restitution is payed to the victims; fines are payed to law-enforcing organizations.


You split the money up among the users, everybody gets a $1.50 check in the mail that costs $0.50 to mail out. Most of the checks will get tossed in the trash. Might as well just burn the money.


1.4 billion $ / 30 million people = $47/person.

Do the math before being generically cynical?


the $1.50 is after administrative fees ;)


This is the real answer why manufacturers don't serve this part of the market


I recently bought a NOS Samsung Note 10 Lite. A quarter the price of the S24, has the wonderful S-Pen and a headphone jack. And even though the battery is ostensibly not user replaceable, it is an easy job that can be done in five minutes without risking breaking anything else.


Similarly, I now have a Samsung Galaxy A52, which has a headphone jack and a microSD slot (but no user-replaceable battery).

I'm not particularly price conscious, so I feel like Samsung lost out on an opportunity to sell me a flagship phone because those no longer have these features I care about. Luckily, this much cheaper phone still has the two that are most important to me. When they stop offering them at all, I'll be done with Samsung.


You just explained something that I've been noticing more and more lately. A decade ago, the early adopters and nerds would have the flagship phones, and everybody else would have the cheap phone. Today the power users are using the absolute cheapest phones and the general public has the flagships.
