a new james bond game was just released, which is based on the hitman stealth style

But you can punch your way out of various situations - it's "crouch near stuff until you're close enough to hit them" rather than pure stealth.

I was there when entertainment became available. 1 or 2 kids dissapeared inside, watching or playing on the new PS1/N64. Slowly more and more got PCs. Playing online.

thats cool, I have the problem alot because I switch languages multiple times per day

it is too noisy, we just run a custom pipeline which scans with osv-scanner/trivy for critical


its the normal cycle of sports gear


Actually pretty good. I wish it would not minimize applications when switching. (a sick workaround would be to hide single window applications)


does wifi work yet? last year it didnt for me


Wifi has been working out of the box for close to 20 years now. On some computers with old Broadcom cards, you have to enable non-free drivers. What model are you using?


WiFi works fine if there are drivers for whatever WiFi chip you have.

Unfortunately there are no standards for OS to talk to WiFi devices like exist for many other types of hardware, so it’s not possible to make generic drivers.


Did you forget your WiFi password?


Wifi and Bluetooth are pretty decent now. As far as I can tell the biggest blockers are:

* Laptop battery life. Still in the "it's fine; I get 5 hours!" stage.

* Wayland & graphics. It's still a mess. Getting there though. Probably will be ok in about 5 years I'd guess.

* RAM management. I don't know why nobody cares about this but when Mac or Windows run low of RAM I don't even notice. With Linux it either hard freezes and reboots, or hard freezes for like 5 minutes and then kills a completely random program. How is that ok? My solution here was to upgrade both my computers to 128 GB of RAM, but that isn't really a viable option today!

* Generally bugginess. Both KDE and Gnome are just not as rock solid as Windows 11. I know I'll get downvoted for this but I haven't experienced a single crash on Windows 11 (and no ads or bloatware because I did research and used the LTSC edition). In KDE, much as I love it, the taskbar crashes regularly and I cannot make head nor tail of the completely random order it wants to put windows in. You can't even drag them into a sensible order. Gnome was not much better.

Still KDE is a lot better now than it was in the kidney bean days so I reckon in another 5 years it will probably be pretty solid too.

Not on ARM, though! Getting 8-10h here easily.

Agreed, since I switched to Linux, I am getting regular OOM on my 16GB laptop.

Fwiw, when I had a 16GB Linux laptop I upgraded it to 32GB, enabled zram and a ton of swap. That improved things a bit (but didn't completely solve the issue).


yes


extensions create so many bug reports, I would do the same


apple SDK already can return underage/adult


In early typescript I was too lazy and just set an inital value and then zero the list
