I have had windows users tell me that a projector needs a usb adapter. While HDMI worked perfectly fine and I even got crazy high resolution (after configuring it myself in KDE)

Vga-hdmi adapters are trivial
Lol, apt changes your system in place and is pretty likely to break it.
Atomic upgrades are fast and reliable.
But windows updates break FAR less than a messy package based distro does, especially if you actually have package changes (i.e. not a stable distro, or a version upgrade)

Like with passkeys (getting better though) and encrypted RCS messages, this is a proprietary standard that still sadly offers way more security.
It is token based afaik and the secret is never shared or even readable by an attacker. This card can be stolen with a single swipe, all that is protecting you is the banking system being overly cautious and expecting their systems to fail, so you need to enter a pin code on higher transactions or your card is simply locked.
Paying with VISA card online is insane from a security perspective, made slightly less bad by requiring authentication with a proprietary TAN app.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•I built a 90.7kb tool that bypasses Windows screen capture protection. Should I open source it?
11·1 month agoLol please open source it, piracy is way less bad than you may think XD also note that in “piracy” (in this case breaking software locks to access media you own or rent without restrictions) recording a screen is very much a last resort. This could be used to digitize e-books and stuff, but at least currently, movies are preferrably cracked in other ways, never recorded.
Be careful though, host it on multiple git forges and fully anonymous. Use a throwaway email and tor to create those accounts etc.
Have a look at radicle, make a torrent with the source code and put it on archive.org, stuff like that

Linux@lemmy.ml•For those running Linux with Window Managers (or Desktop Environments too), how do you make sure that on lid close: the laptop suspends and locks?
5·1 month agoAny normal desktop environment should lock, then suspend. KDE does that afaik, never had that issue.
So first lock, then suspend. As the process is ran by the system, it doesnt care if the screen is locked or not.

You use a water cooker or an electric stove I guess, also you probably use a pot and dont heat it up in your hands
Or something, that metaphor makes no sense
