I did see another report that it's just a component in Edge. Unfortunately I don't have that link handy right now.

There’s basically nothing categorical that can’t run on Linux...

From a desktop standpoint, I agree. From a business server infrastructure standpoint, I disagree completely. We run tons of software that doesn't run on Linux. Maybe there are alternatives, but there are other aspects in play (integrations with other services, vendor pricing, etc).

It's not just desktops that people worry about.

That doesn't make it right.

And not everyone can dump Windows for Linux. We run a lot of software that requires Windows. Changing is impractical if not impossible.

It's only as insecure as you make it. It's an option, it needs to be used responsibly.

Look into editing the sudoers file. Add a line that allows you to run openvpn with the NOPASSWD option.

I strongly recommend not using that for everything, just the specific commands you need to run non-interactively.

Is that it's update check?

I bought the 512Gb OLED, and within two months decided I needed to upgrade the storage. I replaced the drive with a 2Tb drive, and I'm much happier. That said, I download a ton of stuff and keep it on there. I don't often play a single game straight through, so I like having the ability to have a wide variety at any given time. Replacing the drive is trivial if you're handy at all.

I would buy direct, I wouldn't trust getting something second hand. I'm sure plenty of people are selling their LCD for an OLED, but I would rather go direct unless you're getting an amazing deal and have some level of purchase protection.

"No lawful way..."

I just finished saving backups of the games I bought using my (hackable) Switch, and I'm planning on setting it up w/ Yuzu on my Steam Deck.

And no one's going to stop me from fairly using my stuff.

Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

emphasis mine

How do you interpret that?

I read the man page, but I didn't see the answer to your question in there.

I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they're separate filesystems, probably aren't included. You'd have to run a separate dump for each one.

Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.

Same here. Seems like Google did a pretty good job with the eSIM registration in their app. I've swapped phones a number of times with zero issues.

I just got a Steam Deck, and I bought Baldur's Gate 3. Pretty sure I'll finish it on my deathbed. It feels like the hour here or there that I manage to play is not getting me anywhere fast.
