My Steelseries Prime Wireless only has basic functionality working. I could run the software via Wine or VM (don’t remember) but it didn’t remember the settings after a power cycle of the mouse or the PC (also don’t remember).

It’s literally in the article: They want to use client-side scanning. The client already has the data decrypted. This is much like what Apple wanted to introduce with CSAM scanning a while back. It’s a backdoor in each client and it’s a matter of time until it will be abused by malicious entities.

The existence of ArchWiki and the Arch User Respository (AUR). And rolling releases, if that’s your thing.

In the early days they would quietly take all your contact info on your phone and send emails in your name that made it seem like you were reaching out to those contacts. Something like “(your name) is trying to reach you on LinkedIn”.

Back then, Android didn’t have app permissions like it does now where you have to ask the user explicit permission for access to certain data. It would only show up on the very first app install and only if you’d be looking for that.

I cancelled my account back then and never looked back.

No issues here with Gnome via Arch on a Framework 13. At 150% scaled if recall correctly.

It’s probably an SSD for a Fusion Drive setup: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_Drive

It seems to check out for iMac in 2019.

Besides the other mentioned reasons: exposure through the app store can be a motivator too.

From StackOverflow:

Switches will send packets to all interfaces when using broadcasts or under extreme conditions (full MAC Address Table). This can lead to duplication if there is a loop between two or more switches and if the Spanning Tree Protocol is not used. So the answer is rarely.

I’ve used FreeCAD for a few months for small/medium-sized projects and it crashes way too often. It’s pretty much unusable for me. I only use it for CAM these days and do my CAD with OnShape.

It seems like this might break the GDPR rules for consent:

Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid.

or if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

I’m not a lawyer though, so maybe a legal expert can chime in.

edit: the jury is still out it seems:

The cost effectiveness difference on the bottles versus sponges is probably much bigger than the video suggests, because a whole bunch of ink is likely sticking to the sponge and never coming out.

It works with my Subscribed and Local feeds. It crashes with the All feed. I’m guessing it has to do with a specific post that it tries to load.
