  • If you haven’t done this and need the same ability IMMEDIATELY: reboot, or just shut down

    Every first boot requires pin same as lockdown

    Also: set a nonstandard finger in a weird way as your finger unlock if you wanna use that, then theyre likely to fail to get that to work should you not manage to lock it down beforehand

    Finally: there are apps that let you use alternate codes/finger unlocks to wipe/encrypt/reboot the device instead, allowing you to pretend to cooperate with the cops up until they realize they got played



  • What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all

    In your opinion, maybe

    I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never

    Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em

    If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video

    Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere

    Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉







  • Did a quick google and the first review that came up shows that’s not true at all, it’s the exact same process on a kindle as it is a Kobo, though you and this review are both really over-selling it:

    Getting ebooks from other stores onto the device is also a hassle. You have to plug the e-reader into your computer and drag and drop files (though Calibre, the ebook management app, does make it a scootch easier). But that problem isn’t unique to Kobo. Amazon and Barnes & Noble also insist you sideload books.

    The real reason seems to be that the Kobo is cheaper, honestly, don’t see why the kindle is that much more




  • It seems like a recurring thing that requires constant maintenance

    Well, it’s not, simple as. EAC has a checkbox in its implementation dev-side to enable Linux support, if it doesn’t work it’s 110% on the devs to fix it. There are some workarounds for some games, but it’s honestly a binary yes or no most of the time, and it completely falls on the devs not doing something simple.

    Stuff like Adobe doesn’t even work on Linux

    Natively? No. Install WINE like a normal person and it absolutely does

    The effort and time it takes to get stuff working on Linux usually isn’t worth it

    Totally false ime, the example that comes straight to mind is that Bethesda games took an extra hour or so to mod on Linux (an issue that won’t be repeated now that I know), but the games work and run significantly less shitty and I was able to enjoy them even more. Or installing KDE plasma the other day to try it out, 5 minutes of troubleshooting for a much better desktop experience. It seems like you’re thinking about Linux from 5 or more years ago with this one tbh

    and then there’s hoping that everything stays working whenever something gets updated.

    Not really, but even if you are worried about that then just don’t update the thing you’re afraid will break? Unlike windows you actually get that option

    It’s quite ridiculous how a lot of people on this platform take it as a personal insult though

    People pointing out factually incorrect statements isn’t them being personally insulted, it’s usually annoyance that someone is just confidently blasting crap out of their mouths
