No it pauses the timer. Once I dismiss the popup I can see that the pause button icon has been replaced with the continue/play icon. Clicking it unpauses the timer until the popup pops up again.

Microsoft had made a product that has for decades been used to run other people’s software. They’ve unintentionally made windows a “monopoly” in the sense that no other os can run windows only software perfectly. Most consumers will probably think Linux " is just a terminal and too advanced", and the others who can install a distro might still be locked into using windows because not all software can run under wine.

So to you they might seem overconfident in that you can switch, but for some they’re shit out of luck in the department of alternatives. Microsoft knows they can exploit their users, and they will do it

I’d imagine it’s to force me to sign in to use the timer. Shittify the version that can’t track as much, and force the users to use it logged in

From my experience I’ve had to deal with their software adware for which I’ve had to close pop ups and upsell ads before I could do anything with their printers, so that might be why it takes long to print a simple page

Im generally against hate, but I do think that Google, Microsoft and other numerous companies should go to hell for their shitty practices :3

I used to dual boot pop os and windows, but stopped once I had too many issues trying to run non Linux native software trough wine. Once I’ll get my workflow Linux ready, I think I’ll use some distro with KDE

I’d say it fits for both as I’m leaving windows for some Linux distro

I have moved my laptop over to kubuntu for a while now, but I have too many workflows that rely on windows ) :

Here’s one of the Norwegian sources

I think our government is finally pushing back after the constant bullying and sabotages Russia have been doing to our infrastructure.

If you had decent hardware for Vista, it ran like a champ. Those who upgraded from xp running on base specs had a hard time

Grew up using Vista

Imagine if the Google cards get discontinued half way into the game 💀

I assume you’re talking about kagi. I pay for their $5/month subscription and it’s great

I got my childhood game, crysis 3 up and running with wine, so I’ve been plying that again. I can’t belive it looks so good and runs so well compared to all the other “modern” games out there.

BeOS?

Break em up! Break em up!

Maybe building one yourself might be a good idea. I found someone’s old desktop with an 8th Gen i7, 32gb of ram, mobo and Gtx 1070 gpu on the side of the road while on a road trip. Thing was sitting in the rain and slightly rusted, but when I cleaned off the corrosion, stuffed it full of hdds and set it up with truenas scale it’s been running flawlessly with an uptime of almost a year. Been running like that for about 5 years now with the occasional maintenance.

It’s not about the death. It’s about if it’s going to die. I’ve seen smart errors weeks before a hdd died which gave me time to back that data up.

I’ve had a usage tier for storage that looks like this

Temporary storage

• SD cards - unreliable storage you use temporarily to store pictures and videos before inevitably moving them to a more reliable and permanent solution.
• USB drives (hdd ssd etc) - used for when you you want to move files faster or more conveniently than over a Lan.

Permanent storage

• Nas, internal drives, tape drives, etc - for when you want to store a lot of data with configurations that allow you to use redundancy.

The issue with super high capacity SD cards for me is that they’re still fragile and prone to failure. When you allow someone to store that much data, it’ll be used as a more permanent medium, and since it has a lot of storage capacity you end up with a bigger data loss when it dies. Imo having 30 128gb SD cards would be better because if one dies or breaks, you lose 128gb and not 4tb.

Tldr I think 4tb micro sd cards are stupid.
