I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.

It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.
That’s it exactly. Most consumer camera gear uses H.264/H.265 for video and AAC for audio in an MP4 container and the free version of Davinci Resolve just doesn’t support that on Linux. (But does on Windows)
Unfortunately the free version on Linux doesn’t support H.264/H.265 and even the paid version doesn’t support AAC so using Resolve requires you to transcode if you’re using any normal consumer camera.
Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.
Worth noting that the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn’t support H.264/H.265 under Linux. You will need to use another format or pay for the full version. ($295)
I’ve had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.
This did actually help a lot, thanks!
I just wish Firefox had a “stay running in the background” option like Chrome so that I didn’t have to log back into my Bitwarden vault everytime I accidentally close all of my browser windows.
I use it almost exclusively on Gboard. Works well when you get used to it and in combination with the suggestions at the top of the keyboard it’s faster than manually typing. Not sure how it fares on iOS though.
I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.
It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.
Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)
Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.
They have their uses. In particular they’re useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don’t have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they’re the best “third party” package system available but they’re not great.
App Images do suck, but I don’t think flatpak is much better. It’s more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn’t even in the conversation.
Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor
I love it. My cat routinely walks through the room I’m in every 20-30mins giving me little chips along the way.
