I was mostly joking, but KDE Connect has made phone-to-PC transfers much more convenient for me. I’ve only tried it between Android and Linux, but once connected, it basically nounts my phone as a drive that I can browse or copy/paste to and from.

Generally, I only use a cable to charge, and I rarely need/want to transfer files at the same time as I want to charge.

Google is trying to pick and choose who to filter out of results.

The SEPM claims that Google was preparing to test a scheme that would exclude articles from specific media outlets with which it is in dispute over rights to online news content.

You could use KDE Connect and do it wirelessly as well. Who needs cables for anything but charging these days?

One downside here is the kid is going to be told, at least as far as he can understand it, that daddy didn’t want to go. And the kid, not understanding the nuance of the situation, won’t understand that it’s because mommy fucked up their relationship.

If it were me, I’d go and do my best to enjoy the trip. Babysitting duty doesn’t sound so bad when it’s your own kid and you get to share travel experiences with them.

Orphan Black was great. The most insane part was how you could tell which character was pretending to be another character even though they look the same. Tatiana Maslany did fantastic work on that show.

They brought back the paper edition of the Onion and also gave the writers more freedom to write random shit. It sounds like they liked what The Onion was and want to make more of it.

I think for the mos part it’s fine, but Windows doesn’t seem to like sharing NTFS drives. So keeping an old NTFS drive with all your games is generally not a problem, but sharing an NTFS game drive between Windows and Linux sometimes causes issues.

I don’t know how to do it, but I know it’s possible to get your motherboard’s HDMI port, if it has one, to display the output from the GPU. Might help you hold out if you’re not otherwise looking to upgrade.

Not to excuse literally anything else Israel has done, especially lately, but literally every country does this. In this case, they just got caught doing it. It just looks worse because Israel has been in the spotlight for the last year due to the genocide they’re committing.

So when you pronounce every word wrong, you can make it sound like something else. Neat.

I’m not sure of the answer, but I feel like other commenters are just guessing.

My reason for doubting the dongle is that Bluetooth is designed to be ultra-low-power. We’re talking in the low milliwatts range.

I don’t know how much power a 2.4gHz dongle uses, but I would be surprised if it was less than Bluetooth. However, in terms of laptop battery life, it’s probably not significant enough to really matter. It’s not like either one will cut your batteey life down a noticeable amount.

Yes, sorry. I confused them for some reason.

There was a crossover with Strange New Worlds.

SNW S2E7, Those Old Scientists.

These are test launches. There’s no way they’re launching armed warheads on them.

Even better, that splash screen was only 16 colors.

Perhaps they own a business that pays for their employees’ phone service,

1.5 pounds of uncooked bacon turned into 6 ounces of cooked bacon. I’d say it’s edible, but probably not palatable.

That’s worse than just not maintaining code. They could stop maintaining it, but keep the current version active. Instead, they remove it entirely, and now a physical object that was purchased becomes ewaste.

Why do you like to use this site if you know it’s trying to abuse you? There are countless others out there.
