Google’s post also added that a few Privacy Sandbox technologies that have seen broad adoption would be retained.

"We will be continuing our work to improve privacy across Chrome, Android and the web, but moving away from the Privacy Sandbox branding,” a spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Seems like it’s not completely dead.

Mint was the default suggestion for people switching from Windows until a few days ago, and then Zorin popped up.

Feeling lonely? Enable Copilot and feel paranoid instead!

It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.

I was planning to use rsync to ship several TB of stuff from my old NAS to my new one soon. Since we’re already talking about rsync, I guess I may as well ask if this is right way to go?

You can disable that

• On the Xbox home screen, go to “My Games and Apps.”
• Then, go to “Apps,” “Settings,” “General,” and “Personalization.”
• Go to “Games and Apps,” then scroll to the right until the three boxes below “Choose whether game hubs open automatically from the following places.”
• Uncheck the boxes on all three options: “Recently Played List,” “Groups,” and “Installed Games.”–

Including Fortnite Crew in Game Pass Ultimate is a terrible justification for the 50% price increase. How many people who play Fortnite enough for Crew to be useful also play other games enough for Game Pass Ultimate to be worthwhile?

When was the last time you checked? A client was added to the WebOS store maybe 2 or 3 years ago for recent models, and support for older models (like my C9) came months later.

Since people don’t seem to realize that vim has a help system: You can get to this information with :help quit or :help exit

The setting is image.jxl.enabled for those who want to try it.

To be more precise, q means quit the current window. If you’ve split the window, e.g. with :split or :vsplit, use :qa to quit all windows.

His people didn’t make their own engine; Borderlands 4 is built with UE5, and based on the performance complaints it sounds like they’re using wrong (not that UE5 is super performant when used right).

lemmy.ca upgraded lemmy an hour or two before your post. Maybe one or both of the instances you’re looking at also upgraded recently and the problem has something to do with that.

How are you even alive if a tiny mistake like that is enough to give you a stroke?

Microsoft got companies like Samsung, HP and Lenovo to make WMR VR headsets that require the WMR Windows components. There is official support for Steam VR, but the headsets don’t work if the WMR components aren’t there, and after November there will be no officially supported version of Windows with those components. From what I’ve read it’s basically impossible to get WMR working on 10 LTSC, and I assume the situation is the same on 11 LTSC.

Separately, Microsoft warns that Windows 11 version 23H2 will reach end of support on November 11, 2025. Users must upgrade to version 24H2 or 25H2 to continue receiving security updates.

Windows 11 23H2 was the last version that supported Windows Mixed Reality. They’re really in a hurry to kill WMR.

I actually like this strategy, they’re taking hope away from people who think Windows alternates between good versions and bad versions by announcing they’re going to follow up a bad version with another bad version.

So, your complaint isn’t that you were unjustly banned, just that Reddit is actually good at detecting ban evasion?

They left it until the very end of the article:

Early research on personalized pricing isn’t favorable for the consumer. Consumer Watchdog found that the best deals were offered to the wealthiest customers—with the worst deals given to the poorest people, who are least likely to have other options.

It’s in the comics too.
