Thank you for the feedback! I’ve asked because at first I thought of sharing this satire piece which I found very funny. But suddenly wondered if that would have been OK or not – don’t want to ruin what the users expect by subscribing to this community.

Good to know, thank you!

Cheers. It seems the best and maybe only option indeed.

Let me tag you a welcome to the fediverse! 🙌

Thank you. They do say that they get commissions, but I found some interesting VPNs there. Had never heard of Windscribe, and it sounded interesting. Luckily this post gave an important warning about it.

Best option may actually be to do a search on VPN opinions here on Lemmy…

What I wonder: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?

Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…

I hope these evil arsehole moves will span new mobile-phone companies who see the economic benefit of taking side with the users. A little like it happened with Framework and laptops.

My mobile is dying; when it’s dead it’ll be GrapheneOS – and fuck you Google.

Thanks for asking. I think I’ve had it for a week, and luckily no issues so far. I use it sparsely though, I always have on-demand mode. But I imagine Ubuntu Studio has important differences from Ubuntu?

Happy to have helped! I’m myself testing 580 now, fingers crossed :)

What’s written on Wikipedia is no different from what’s written on a wall in some city’s street. No one knows who wrote it, no one knows how much of it is true. What’s written is determined by insistence, not by agreement or expertise. Whether you can get something useful from its pages is a matter of luck.

I don’t know if it’s the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab ‘Additional Drivers’. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

Great to hear! All’s well that ends well :)

Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!

They can be useful, used “in negative”. In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answers to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT are correct or not, and why.

On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can’t use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they’d be going in circles.

But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)

As a bonus, the students see for themselves that LLMs/GPTs are often grossly or subtly wrong when answering technical questions.

Thank you for this comment. So Unbound does only DNS caching, without really resolving? I think I’ve completely misunderstood its purpose.

I’m starting to think that I’ve misunderstood what Unbound does. I thought I’d be a replacement for a DNS resolver (like CloudFlare). But from the replies here I’m starting to think it isn’t?

Thank you for the warning! I’ll know it’s expected then :) In my case I’d like to use it more or less independently of the network I’m in, that’s why I’d like to take a single-machine approach.

Thank you, I see the advantages of a network approach. In my case it’s just two laptops in my network, and I’m also thinking of the case when I’m using the laptop in some other networks.

Can you try the icanhazpdf hashtag on Mastodon? https://c.im/tags/icanhazpdf

X1 Carbons of several generations have been notorious for their Thunderbolt defects, which appear after a while. For instance this or this (sorry for the Reddit links), and there are others related to connecting to screens. Right these days I’m dealing with the Thunderbolt-charging defect in my Gen 9. Luckily still under warranty.

Best of luck with your problem! I suggest you use your warranty if still active (and better with on-site assistance than sending the thing).
