Tbh, get a Brother printer for any OS. At least they don't buy into the shitfuckery that HP and others do with ink and firmware updates.

This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn't even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

I didn't go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn't tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and 'one') and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

no such thing as a quarter in Oz. So 20c. But I remember watching the 20c games go from that to 40c, 50c and then $1. For games like KISS, and Playboy none the less! (Other 70's style pinnies never got passed 50c because they were not popular enough, and newer ones were shadowing them in the 80's.

"video games" were mechanical, and you interacted with targets by manipulating a metal spherical pixel using, hand eye coordination, timing and physics. You were rewarded with multiple "pixels" if you were good enough.

They cost 20c to play and you only got 3 lives.

The DEC VT200. What a classic.

Anyone still using LibreSSL and not OpenSSL, has only themselves to blame. Or their company or whoever is forcing it on them.

The only people that will really suffer from this is businesses. They will have to buy W11, and they will need to get supported hardware. However, businesses usually have rolling upgrades in place in the IT and have probably rolled out many already.

As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy. I can tell you now, this won't affect as many people as you imagine.

  • 1: W11 is free to download from M$. You can choose whether or not to buy a licence. W11 cracks already exist, M$ is still using key management services, so something like KMSpico still work. There are also tons of activator scripts on github (lol, since M$ owns this!).
  • 2: Grab a copy of RUFUS. Use it to take the W11 image and remove all restrictions, and dump it to USB.
  • 3: ???
  • 4: Profit.

I dont know about a "private" Discord, but they have shut everything down.

Read their homepage.

Also nothing will stop Yuzu from existing!

Could have simply said "GIMP Toolkit" and "GNOME"...

Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I'd expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).

Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.

As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn't just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer
