Installing Linux after Windows should be fine without disconnecting drives.
The reverse is troublesome. Microsoft’s installer is all too happy to shit on your drives, even the ones you’re not using for installation. But Linux installers are much more friendly to dual-booting and all kinds of complex setups.
Now that you mention it, yeah, I wonder if they haven’t updated recently.
Isn’t the 7950X3D the best at basically everything? I mean, disregarding value per dollar, it’s still better than any of the other Ryzens for gaming, isn’t it?
https://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a good starting point.
If you want to beat the PS5 Pro in terms of raw performance, you’ll probably want to look at the “great” tier and higher. It’s hard to say now since we don’t have any real-world benchmarks to go by.
$700 seems like a lot for a PS5 Pro, but if it’s really as powerful as they claim then it will still compare well to PCs under $1k.
Same on macOS. Apple has “case-sensitive HFS+” as an option for UNIX compatibility (or at least they used to) but actually running a system on it is a bad idea in general.
What part of this is misinformation, exactly? Seems pretty well-supported.
Haven’t heard of Hiren’s BootCD in like 15 years. Good to see it’s still around!
I keep seeing this claim, but never with any independent verification or technical explanation.
What exactly is listening to you? How? When?
Android and iOS both make it visible to the user when an app accesses the microphone, and they require that the user grant microphone permission to the app. It’s not supposed to be possible for apps to surreptitiously record you. This would require exploiting an unpatched security vulnerability and would surely violate the App Store and Play Store policies.
If you can prove this is happening, then please do so. Both Apple and Google have a vested interest in stopping this; they do not want their competitors to have this data, and they would be happy to smack down a clear violation of policy.
I agree completely.
I understand the motivation here — apps that lack location permission shouldn’t be able to get backdoor access to your location via your camera roll. That makes sense, because you know damn well every spyware social media company would be doing that if they could.
But the reverse is also true: apps that legitimately need to read photos and access all their metadata shouldn’t need to be granted full location access.
I have a different Boox product, the low-end Poke Lite (I think version 4?).
Pros:
Cons:
The newer models, from what I understand, use faster-refreshing display tech, and some even support color.
This is why I refuse to buy e-books with DRM. Amazon should have no say in how, where, or when I read my books.
ebooks.com has a searchable DRM-free section, so that’s my go-to: https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/drm-free
For anything not available without DRM, I will pirate it without a second thought.
Yeah, I had to disconnect all my SATA HDs to stop the Windows installer from shitting all over them.
I’d be worried about Windows updates doing the same thing now, after the the recent glitch that broke bootloaders.

Definitely going to check this out. I’ve been using yt-dlp via command line in Termux but that experience is less than ideal.
It was bought out and cleaned up a few years ago. It’s legit again now, though I don’t think it’ll ever really recover from that fiasco.
Chromium itself will. Other Chromium-based browser vendors have confirmed that they will maintain v2 support for as long as they can. So perhaps try something like Vivaldi. I haven’t tried PWAs in Vivaldi myself, but it supports them according to the docs.
I like the “magic mushroom” theory.
I won’t say I believe it. But I like it.
Ranging from frames per second to seconds per frame.
This makes sense to me. The conditions are right for successful conspiracies, whether they truly exist or not. History is rife with real, proven conspiracies — both failed and successful. That’s what happens when power is concentrated and unchecked.
Debian still supports Pentium IIs. They axed support for the i586 architecture (original Pentium) a few years back, but Debian 12 (current stable, AKA Bookworm) still supports i686 chips like the P2.
Not sure how the rest of the hardware in that Compaq will work.

Some vegan leather is made of mushrooms or vegetables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_leather#Mushroom_leather
Personally I find it odd to call polyurethane “vegan leather”. Seems like a marketing ploy to make it sound new. I’ve always known it as “pleather” or “faux leather”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_leather
We’re comparing it to gen 1 to emphasize how far it is from being competitive.
Not really new; this has been the case with all the Tensor chips. I kind of assumed Google was going to step up their game at some point, but I don’t think Samsung can produce chips on par with TSMC. Google is switching to TSMC for next year’s Tensor 5, so maybe we’ll see a big jump then.
That said, I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker. I’m running a Pixel 7 and it’s “fine”. The Pixel 6 had bad throttling/overheating problems, but the 7 and 8 are better. We’ll see what the Big Problem is with the 9 series. There’s always something.
