Don't threaten me with a good time!

23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn't realise he was in one of the other photos.

Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

I've never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I'm not an Instagram user.

The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn't see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they're all stupid expensive.

There's a period at the end of it. Remove that and it'll work

I can usually read them, though issues can range entirely from nothing to entirely broken. I otherwise haven't tried creating a .docx file on Linux (I would usually use .odf instead) and seeing how it renders in MS Office, but when it comes to an assessment I'd prefer not to test that.

I moved from Manjaro to EndeavourOS and was been pretty happy with that. Unfortunately my study mandates things like .docx files, Visio drawings, things that just are more clunky to do if I'm trying to do it under Linux, so I've been actually using Windows 10 on my daily driver.

However I have LMDE on a second machine which I have been pretty happy with, although I am more of an Xfce guy than Cinnamon.

There'll be a modloader in the next 5 years that will have you load .js scripts as mods

I still have my iPhone SE 1st gen with the perfectly ratioed 16:9 display, so nice not having black bars, while also having room to put my thumbs while I hold it in landscape watching a video.

My main phone, a Pixel 7a, is better in every way but my goodness holding it while watching a landscape video is terrible because my fingers keep occasionally touching the edges which are registered.

I did pretty much exactly this on a Galaxy S1 (i9000) that was old even when I got it, but my uncle who gave it to me said that to make it usable I needed to install Cyanogenmod.

I thought I fully bricked the phone trying and it actually sat dormant for years afterwards until I re-found the Odin backups I had taken, and was able to fully fix and restore it. Unfortunately by that time, nearly no ROM existed that was both up to date and a usable speed.

I moved from Manjaro after a couple system updates just borked something like X11, but those happened over a 3 year course of using Manjaro.

As insightful as it is to find the root cause of a Linux problem like that, on my main system it was just not something I wanted to deal with or risk having right when I need the PC.

I looked at this at first and thought "What? 1.3 million? That's crazy low what the heck" then I saw "in thousands" and I can't help but agree.

I mean the minute you see "Copilot bad, from windowscopilot[dot]news" should surely raise some flags

Hey, I have a Latitude 7280 which I believe should be the 12" version of yours. A year or so ago I tried running Linux on mine (I believe EndeavourOS but also tested with Debian) and I couldn't get sleeping to work right. When the laptop would wake up it seemed to just stay on a black screen and I'd have to hard power it down.

Was this something you ran into with yours? I've been forced to use Windows on this laptop since because I never figured that issue out and couldn't find anyone else with it
