they should rebrand it as Konnekt.


Legacy KDE apps used to follow this naming convention until the late 2000s, early 2010s.

You had apps like Konqueror (web browser, file manager), KMail (email client), Kompose (music score editor), KImages (later rebranded to Krita), and KDevelop (software dev IDE).

Modern KDE apps dropped the 'K' prefix and moved to a more recognizable scheme, like: Falkon (web browser), Dolphin (file manager), and Okular (document viewer).

As you can see, its now a mix of whether the app keeps the 'K' in the name. Some do not.

Wow, what a coincident that parent just happened to suggest the identical naming convention. What are the chances?


Also spectacle for screenhshots... It took me a while to not try find kscreenshot


Spectacle pops up as the first result in KDE's app launcher when I start typing "snipping tool." Props to whomever decided to add that alias.

Zero props to whomever decided that punctuation from the outer sentence should be injected inside quotation marks.


That's a bit harsh.

The recovery partition has some value. But in an OS reinstall scenario Windows.old is a much more helpful feature.

However, these features won't used by someone installing Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC Evaluation (Evaluation just means that it's 90 day free trial version). This is because to aquire the non-trial version of the OS you must either be willing to license Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC from Microsoft, or crack the activation. If you crack Windows you do not need the 90 day free trial! And any company which has institutional knowledge of what an LTSC edition is, is capable of running the 90 day trial in a non destructive way (pro tip: put your new OS on a new drive and keep your old drive in a drawer).

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is the best version of Windows 11 I have ever tried, no contest.


I guess because it's a risc-v hypervisor and the author expects you to run it on an x86 machine.


Thanks. Good use of a turtle. (Turtles all the way down)


IIRC the US-UK CLOUD Act Agreement extended the jurisdiction of each parties warrants onto the other parties territory.

I have not looked at the US-EU agreement.

You don't need an agreement.

Tthe EU commission has tried to create schemes bypassing the issue, and twice they were dismantled by the EU supreme court.



From the same Wikipedia article:

> It was later revealed that Farage's account was closed in part as Coutts felt that his beliefs and values did not align with theirs. In an internal dossier, Coutts wrote that he "is at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists" and considered a "disingenuous grifter".


I guess that would be an NPU combined with LPDDR. Basically any Windows Copilot Plus approved device.


Wrong! Tons of "regular users" want to transfer their image library from their phone to their PC. This is usually dozens of GB of data. Very often the tranfer (from iphone to cheap windows laptop via oxidized cable) is not even completly successful.

My usual recomendation for these people is to buy icloud storage ($$$$) and sync the images over the web, because this is faster an less error prone.

EDIT: therefore the average amount of times anyone who buys a non pro iPhone plugs it into a computer with the intent to transfer data to it is almost 0


iPhone photos are usually in HEIF, and an on-the-fly conversion option that fails after hundred or so photos is enabled by default. Image transfer on iOS works half decent after you find that toggle.


What toggle? To not store them.in heif?



What are you trying to say? The link confirms what I said


Only if you assume that the supposed advanced ancient civilization oxidized large amounts of fossil hydrocarbon.


So what you're saying is there was a massive technologically advanced civilisation which didn't build buildings, didn't carve stone, didn't mine or refine metals, didn't deforest, didn't farm, and didn't use oil?


But there are other chemicals that a civilization might produce that are also visible in the geological record. Fertilizers would also leave a mark.

> Terra preta soils are found mainly in the Brazilian Amazon, where Sombroek et al. estimate that they cover at least 0.1–0.3%, or 6,300 to 18,900 square kilometres (2,400 to 7,300 sq mi) of low forested Amazonia; but others estimate this surface at 10.0% or more (twice the area of Great Britain).
