Now go back and watch Hilary Clinton's Between Two Ferns interview, and let the layers of that joke unfold

I got burned by this too. I feel your pain.

Dad figured out that if we hosed the concrete driveway, it made a better seal, and handeled bumps and impetfections better.

It was a glorious 3 minutes before the water started to seep in to the concrete quickly. The Typhoon nosedived and tore its skirt.

0/10 would not hovercraft again.

The time it took you to write this would have been better spent reading the article:

Because Android isn’t technically “installed” on the Switch, but rather an external microSD card, you can switch between the default system and Lineage at any time.

Running Lineage is a big deal for those of us who have a switch laying around that no longer have a use for it.

  • It can be an android tv device replacement
  • Buy a $20 goose neck tablet mount, and now it's a way to play streamed steam games or use the android tv jellyfin client to watch/play stuff without using the main TV
  • Bedside clock/radio with loads of extra features
  • Dedicated HomeAssistant remote

Or, the basic use case - Play emulated games on a neat handheld package with a decent screen on a plane or something, without needing to carry or buy another device.

Newpipe has to be the choice for android. Also, Tubular is a pretty neat fork that adds sponsorblock and return youtube dislike

S3 is what people actually think of when they think of sleep mode, or modern standby. The running state of the operating system is stored in RAM, in low power mode. All context for the cpu, other hardware like disks and network is lost and those devices are completely shut down - bar the RAM. Basically, you close the lid at the end of the day, and you're nearly at the same charge level the next morning.

This saves a lot of power. On my older 8th gen intel cpu laptop, it loses maybe 1-2% charge per day in this mode.

My new 13th gen laptop still has deep sleep, or standby (s3) as a hardware function, but it's technically not supported. It actually doesn't work when enabled, and just falls back to s1 (sleep, everything's still on, just in low power mode). It loses about 2-3% per hour in this mode

S4 (Hibernate) does roughly the same as S3, but the OS state is stored to the disk instead of ram, so that can be shut off too. Now the device is completely powered off, losing no charge while 'asleep'.

S5 is off

S4 sleep takes much longer to wake up from than s3, so was less desirable. In the modern computing world (especially end user devices), commonly there's full disk encryption going on, which adds a layer of complexity to resuming from disk, as you would when waking up from hibernation (s4).

Making it resume without putting in a decryption password for example (using a TPM), isn't simple, and breaks a lot when you do system upgades

Let me introduce you to an interesting theory.

Chef Boyardee and Heinz Tinned Spaghetti.

If I’m doing a grocery shop alone, I can’t be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesn’t make it.

Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know I’m a monster.

No. Being valued at $39M is not a success story, it’s a mental disease.

I mean, maybe test the water supply? Odds are there’s something very wrong with it these days

I’ve got a family member on one running mint.

I’ve run debian and fedora on the late 2013 model. Trackpad gestures used to be handled by libinput-gestures (found on github), and would handle tap double tap and swipe up to 4 fingers - though I think there are some gestures that are just handled by some window managers these days

Edit: added link

Calibre is the way to go. It’ll convert quite happily to epub, html, whatever. I just converted the Linux From Scratch book pdf in to epub and mobi for my kindle.

If you just need to edit a pdf and change some formatting on a line, try LibreOffice Draw!
