I did the same thing with grayjay. I paid for it cause I wanted to support them… Then all this stuff came out and I’m pretty sure I said the exact same thing as you… Fucking hell…I hate it.
I started to try out Morphe but it’s not really the same as Grayjay.


No problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Access_Card
Essentially it’s a physical token containing a certificate. I can then put that card into a CAC card reader and authenticate with it and a PIN that I setup on my card.
I can then also sign PDF signature blocks with the cert on the card. I have only found this ability in Adobe Acrobat. The signature block in Adobe is different from just their regular sign location for digital ink. I’ve never made a PDF with one of those blocks, I’ve only just signed them so I’m not sure what exactly that kind of signing block is called.
So bottom line, it’s a physical card with a certificate loaded on it. Adobe can read that cert and use it to sign signature blocks inside a PDF.


I don’t suppose you’re able to sign PDFs with something like a CAC card right? Is that still wholly in the realm of acrobat?
Literally the only thing I need another software to do so I can finally uninstall the last Adobe product from my VM. I’m running Linux so getting this functionality in Linux would be ideal. But since no one else has done it, I assume Adobe has some kind of stranglehold on that process?


I use Mailspring. Thunderbird was crashing a lot for me a few months ago but I had used TB for a long time so I will probably move back to it soon.
Son of a BITCH! I’m so fucking tired of this… Everywhere you look you gotta examine EVERYTHING about a company/group because they might be fascists now…I love Grayjay, it was working so great and I loved the proclaimed mission…I was even trying to get FCast to work since I lost casting ability when I moved to Linux…
I’m just gonna take a break over here for a bit.


A combination of Yubikey and Enpass (I got Enpass back when it was $15 for perpetual).


I need to root my Kindle…


That’s part of why I’m here. I’ve been following linux on surface’s installation guide and I’ve updated my post with the errors I’m currently running into. I’m not sure if the errors have anything to do with the touchscreen/pen issues though.
I did run the lspci -nn -k command. I can put it in here if you’d like but it’s a long list. I don’t see anything in there specifically talking about the touchscreen or pen however there are a number of Microsoft hub devices. It could be one of those, I just don’t know.


So I did try to install their linux kernel but I ran into an error regarding mkinitcpio and nvidia. I updated my original post with the errors I’ve run into.
To your second set of questions. It’s a bit multi-layered. I’m wanting to move my main laptop, a Surface Laptop Studio, off of Windows and onto Linux. The linux on surface project also supports the SLS. I game on my SLS as well so a gaming focused distro is where I’m targeting. Additionally, at some point, I’m going to build a full PC with high end gear. From what I’ve heard, Arch is good for high end/bleeding edge kind of hardware. So with all that combined, I figured I should probably start learning Arch’s idiosyncrasies as I’m coming from debian mainly when I do use Linux. I have an old Surface Book 2 and thought it would make a good testbed for this process which is how I ended up using hardware as old as that.


Yeah I did check their compatibility matrix and the SB2 is fully compatible except for the IR in the camera array. The only requirement is that you need to use the Linux-Surface kernel which I did install. I updated my post with some errors I’m running into trying to get troubleshooting done. I don’t know if the errors have anything to do with the touchscreen not working but they are something I guess.


Corrected my original post. I’ve also updated it to reflect that larger context as well as the content in the “…” menu option.
Selecting the “Cancel Download” within the “…” menu only stops the download for that instance. When the Store rechecks for updates, this will pop back up. There doesn’t seem to be a way to tell the Store to ignore updates for that product.
If there’s isn’t a way to disable specific updates, then I’m not sure what I would want to do as I also have PowerToys installed. That also get updated via this context and I like that streamline so I’d prefer not to turn off ALL 3rd party updates if you even can.


Correct. I had mistakenly stated Windows Update and I meant the updates via the Microsoft Store. I’ve updated my post to correct that mistake and added some clarifications.


No, I used CSP’s installer not via the MS Store.


So I couldn’t find anything for 3rd Party Apps. I found GPO settings for disabling Automatic Updates which doesn’t apply in this situation because I already have it disabled. Where are the GPO settings for 3rd Party?


Any idea how I could check? It doesn’t say anything any that I’m my carrier account…


Fair. I think I had previously uninstalled Gemini when I first got my phone so maybe that’s why the app isn’t present? But the way that they are talking about it in the article, since Gemini seems to be replacing Assistant, maybe new settings will appear for me to mess around with…


It’s rough…I still have another 13 months I think. But to the article, I don’t have the options in my phone that they’re talking about. Do you? Or has it just not rolled out to me yet?


I really really want to but I can’t for another year because I’m still paying off my pixel. It’s still carrier locked and I can’t unlock it till it’s paid off.
And DLSS5 wasn’t generative AI… Ok grifter
