They still haven’t published on github or fdroid yet, and as the only update available is on the Play store, and I won’t install from there, I haven’t tried it yet.

Added the ability to select an action when starting playback (for example, you can choose to continue playback from an interrupted position), providing more control over the playback experience.

We have been able to do this in previous versions at least back to v17…

Improved AV1 support is welcome, and the ffmpeg change as well.

Unlike other clients, it concentrates on albums.

Trying to wrap my head around this. In the context of music on Linux, I listen to albums exclusively. Am I an outlier?

Oh and use powder of you can - liquid has way too much water in it, they’re ripping you off

Where I live, if you don’t use the powder up in a month, it clumps or worse from the humidity. I swear by powder in the US Northeast. Here in Central America, I have to buy liquid.

Plus doing 60 in a school zone can absolutely get your ass handed to you in a very real and legally binding way lol

Was in traffic court with a relative years back, and a woman was arguing that going 37Mph in a school zone when buses are unloading wasn’t an issue because she was A) on the other side of the road from the school, and B) paying close attention.

Because she contested it, and likely because of her poor defense, she got higher fines, court costs added, and IIRC, a penalty like safe driving school or suspension.

BTW, her being on the other side of the road was because she swerved into oncoming traffic to put her there. Great times hanging out in traffic court in big cities…

My GF would definitely disagree with you there. On my worst days, she stuffs her face into my pits and is practically intoxicated by it. Turns her on.

Sidenote: my pet cat (female) also goes nuts for it. She’ll root her nose into my pits and get all lovey. If she finds a soiled shirt out of the basket, she goes crazy, and her brother had better steer clear when she’s “high on pits.”

ETA: I agree with you, however

Keepass is free, and has no limits that would cause you to research alternatives. Keep the passwords database in a single cloud location, or keep separate copies and merge them occasionally. I see nothing in your post that would lead me to recommend an additional paid service.

As a resident of the Caribbean, I offer my condolences. High taxes, cold winters, and a captive sailboat to boot? No thanks!

Agreed. This is not a concern worthy of modifying your behavior over. Update or don’t, but don’t worry about the max writes of your phone storage unless you happen to be serving Wikipedia or running a public DNS server out of your pocket.

Jesus. Why Eurogamer didn’t just link to the statement is beyond me. It’s longer than the original article, and somehow, says nothing.

Where can I find the last build for xxx device before support was dropped or its LineageOS version was deprecated?

• In short, you can’t. We don’t build more than 2 versions usually (exemptions were made when major hurdles prevented a large amount of devices to receive a newer version) and we don’t keep old builds around for a multitude of reasons, the largest being that we won’t keep old, insecure, potentially broken builds around. Additionally, we don’t have the server space (or the space on mirrors) to do so

But you may find what you’re looking for here: lineage-archive.timschumi.net

The same reason people buy the cereal their grocer places at eye-level, and buy their cars from the stealer: marketing

“I read a thing where someone said this. I don’t have anything to add, either in opinion or fact checking or even context. I’m just going to quote what I read, without sources, and paste it here.”

Weird indeed.

Reviewers (at least) report the code is mod-unfriendly

ETA: Quote from GOG reviewer:

There’s no SDK, no modding tools and based on a report from a programmer, the game is coded in a way that makes it especially difficult, if not outright impossible, to mod. And that’s the biggest shame because an active modding community would have fixed the game.

OP asks about HDD technology, and somehow you found a way to ignore the main ask of their question, AND offer a response including a discussion about a hypothetical home renovation.

“I see you want to know X, but I know about construction, so how about Z or Q? Eh?”

Bravo.

OP, WD Red NAS drives are usually 5400 with low cache and go at least up to 10TB. Might have to buy soon, as I don’t see much new stock.

More than 7,000 years ago, people navigated the Mediterranean Sea using technologically sophisticated boats, according to a study published March 20, 2024, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Juan F. Gibaja of the Spanish National Research Council, Barcelona and colleagues.

Many of the most important civilizations in Europe originated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. During the Neolithic, communities clearly traveled and traded across the water, as evidenced by watercraft in the archaeological record and the presence of settlements on coasts and islands. In this study, Gibaja and colleagues provide new insights into the history of seafaring technology through analysis of canoes at the Neolithic lakeshore village of La Marmotta, near Rome, Italy.

Excavation at this site has recovered five canoes built from hollowed-out trees (dugout canoes) dating between 5700 and 5100 BC. Analysis of these boats reveals that they are built from four different types of wood, unusual among similar sites, and that they include advanced construction techniques such as transverse reinforcements.

One canoe is also associated with three T-shaped wooden objects, each with a series of holes that were likely used to fasten ropes tied to sails or other nautical elements. These features, along with previous reconstruction experiments, indicate these were seaworthy vessels, a conclusion supported by the presence at the site of stone tools linked to nearby islands.

The authors describe these canoes as exceptional examples of prehistoric boats whose construction required a detailed understanding of structural design and wood properties in addition to well-organized specialized labor.

Similarities between these canoes and more recent nautical technologies support the idea that many major advances in sailing were made during the early Neolithic. The authors suggest there may be more boats preserved near La Marmotta, a potential avenue for future research.

The authors add, “Direct dating of Neolithic canoes from La Marmotta reveals them to be the oldest in the Mediterranean, offering invaluable insights into Neolithic navigation. This study reveals the amazing technological sophistication of early agricultural and pastoral communities, highlighting their woodworking skills and the construction of complex vessels.”

Garmin has so many different trackers for different niches. Scuba, hikers, bikers, runners, pilots…

I switched after getting my third Fitbit replacement under warranty. Affordable and standard watch band parts, though some high-end trackers are a bit pricey for me.

Just no reason to stay with Fitbit with Google’s history of product longevity and support.

I owned four Fitbit devices, and they all broke in some way. The clip broke at the middle joint. Everything else always was at the wristband to body joint, and they refused to make standard wristbands. I’ve had a Vivoactive 3 since 2018-ish, and it still works for me, plus I can have custom activities, and watch faces, and data screens. I like that my partner’s Garmin and mine use the same charging cable, too.

Disclaimer: I don’t use the smart watch features, like texts or calls or notifications of any kind on my tracker, and the battery lasts about five days still, unless I use GPS.

Well as long as you’re aware of the risk and prepared for it, its not so bad to run in a volatile way like that. I ran my TN box for almost a decade on the same USB boot before I finally caved and picked up three Intel enterprise SSD for the job, with one as a cold spare. Nothing in the vox was critical or would be missed for more than a few beers of crying.
