I caught my son using Linux PC and Android tablet at the same time… he was just using the microphone in Gboard to learn to spell out what he wanted to put on his signs in Minecraft Java.

This; works on Mull; there is no submit button, it just constantly refreshes the results and thus is slow AF from continuously juggling the data.

Run the VPN right from the device itself, allowing for DNS blocking of whatever you want. Previously, Blokada was used, now Rethink DNS is preferred.

Employees can daily clean as much of the machine as they can access, and there will still be a bit of black biofilm in there (not mold). The same biofilm lives down in all of your sink drains.

I was recommended by a well-known privacy guide to use Rethink with AhaDNS Blitz, but it seems to fail often; nothing resolves until the VPN is stopped and restarted. Any ideas or advice?

Maybe they’ve finally fixed those problems. In Lakka, I set my controller up once (for each unique controller) in RetroArch frontend, and then it works in any emulator core. I don’t think it’s normal to have to set up the controller in each core (but you can, if you want or need to!)

EmuDeck uses EmulationStation, in which I’ve seen a lot of controller-related problems. Controllers working in the menu but not in the emulators. Controllers working in the emulators but not in the menus.

For a dedicated emulation machine, I’ll once again shill for Lakka, that boots LibreELEC directly into RetroArch without EmulationStation, and has bootable installers for multiple configurations of x86_64 machines and images for loads of single-board computers.

Lots of arcade games and other amusement machines made in the last twenty years run on desktop Linux.

Incredible Technologies games, Raw Thrills/Play Mechanix Big Buck Hunter Pro, Arachnid dartboards, and TouchTunes jukeboxes off the top of my head.

Sorry. If there is a keyboard key or other input event to scroll it, you could set a touchscreen gesture to emulate that input?

This trope is false; frogs will attempt to escape when the water gets unpleasantly hot. They don’t allow themselves to be boiled.

Just saying.

Does double tap and drag work?

Meaning: tap, lift, tap without lifting, drag.

I can’t even get this Brother to scan to a flash drive in its own USB port. It acts like it’s successful; it scans and no errors show up… but the files just aren’t there. Tried multiple USB drives and made sure they were formatted to FAT32 in a sector size that Brother recommended in the manual.

Printing to it from Debian was even easier than expected, though. Plug it in, it shows up as a networked printer, and you print to it.

It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.

I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn’t work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)

I was installing Nobara 40 and discovered that the live session is allowed to suspend the PC during the install process. The system ended up having problems with some basic functions…

This, I tried some newer distros with Wayland and ended up going back to Debian Stable and X11 for gaming. Got Sunshine (for Moonlight handheld client streaming) working for in about a minute.

I always feel old when they’re playing Ramones over the loudspeakers at the grocery store.

USA still has 2G, but 3G is definitely no longer around. Those frequencies have been portioned out for 4G LTE and 5G.

I had to put my wife’s LG-made Google Nexus phone in the fridge to wirelessly back it up without it overheating.

Also got a free 65" Samsung TV because original owner couldn’t stand its blue blotches.

Everyone, race to the bottom!
