If you supported the dev you’d pay to remove the ads. Clicking the ads would also support them.

It’s alright to like an app just because it’s familiar. I feel the same way with Boost.

Holy shit, Math Blaster 9-12. You just threw me back SO far. I just had a vivid image in my mind’s eye of the home office I played it in.

Thank you for the throwback.

Same here, to a certain extent.

I was referring only to Linux’s lack of bullshittery in comparison to Windows, nothing else.

Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.

I’d happily pay a one-time fee to be able to use my own cloud service like Google Drive, OneDrive, or iCloud.

You can do that without paying. Obsidian vaults are just plaintext files on your disk. Just make a vault in your GDrive/OneDrive/iCloud sync folder and it’ll be synced.

There’s likely a extra hoop or two to jump through if you want mobile access, but it’s not too much extra effort.

Ah I was just referring to my laptop there. I do still use Android, but with LineageOS instead of my device’s stock image.

How am I the product when I bought it outright and installed Linux before ever booting it up?

I guess I didn’t buy my phone or my laptop then?

To answer your question (and not just recommend another piece of software instead):

Making a cylinder and deleting the cap faces makes what’s known as a non-manifold mesh. To my knowledge this means you can see the backfaces without travelling through any existing faces (in your case, you can see them by looking through the holes you made when you deleted the cap faces).
That cylinder has walls that are theoretically infinitely thin, so you should thicken them up before attempting to print it. You can do this with a Solidify modifier. You can also extrude and scale them if you like, it achieves the same effect.

Given a manifold mesh, your slicer will treat the inside (as in, the direction the backfaces are pointing) as solid, and you can change the density and infill pattern to whatever you like.

Make a few of these shapes, both manifold and non-manifold, and see how your slicer reacts when you tell it to slice them.

It’s odd how poorly phrased the text on that first image is.

Surely it should be:

Alternate title: Apple charges fortune for underspecced machines, morons still buy them

Please tell me, as someone who has not given Apple money in over a decade, how I am paying for this.

It’s likely hosted in China, so I’m not surprised.

Can you be more specific?

I may be reading this wrong, but it sounds like you think Linux requires all your files to be converted to some other format before you can use them. There is no such thing as a Windows-JPEG and a Linux-JPEG, it’s just a JPEG. All your files will still work. It’s the software that opens the files that might need to change (e.g. MS Word or Photoshop).

Unless you’re talking about filesystems like NTFS and ext4, in which case there is no argument to be made as Linux supports NTFS already. In my experience, it “just works”.

Just out of curiosity, I calculated that the article’s (War and Peace * 875,000) claim would net you less than 1TB of storage space (~973GB), assuming it was GZipped (and ~3x that if not).

The most concrete number we have is from another article (also on an official Microsoft page) that claims it’s upwards of 7TB.

It might feel that way, but people switch from one platform the other all the time.

It’s not impossible, just inconvenient. People nowadays often seem to conflate the two.

I’m 90% sure all of System76’s offerings are rebadged Clevo laptops.

There’s a browser extension that suggests (and optionally redirects to) better wikis when your search results include a Fandom/Fextralife link. I think it’s called Indie Wiki Buddy.

I’ve reinstalled both Linux and Windows on the same machine a few weeks ago and it was considerably easier and faster to install Linux. It also had less problems post-install too.

Changing the UI elements isn’t the reason why Android exists. The purpose of a phone’s OS is to act like a phone. Both Android and iOS do this perfectly well. If they didn’t, nobody would use them. Everything else they can do is just a nice bonus.

Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer Android because of those features (plus I hate walled gardens), but I think your usage of the word “purpose” might be a bit of a stretch here.
