That is exactly when I started using linux..


/v/Linux viewpost?postid=6746b9a67d1f8

> Lets start with needing to swallow a 300 page manual to use basic functions

If you intend on using the terminal exclusively... yes. Otherwise, this is an exaggeration. There is no doubt that you will have to do some reading. Just ask a search engine or AI questions..

> Then go to not being compatible with literally anything that is in any common usage

Word Documents and Excel have always worked for me. Something like OneNote doesn't have a compatible Linux alternative. Kind of depends on the program, sometimes there is a compatible alternative, otherwise, there is always an alternative that may work slightly differently.

> Having to completely recompile your system from scratch.... just to change the screen resolution, or make sound work.

Guess that I'm lucky, I have never had to do this. Fixing the resolution sometimes requires drivers that aren't installed. Sound is something that has always worked for me on first boot..

> Deciding you want to install a piece of software, taking 10 minutes before you realised the install broke

This is the biggest difference I noticed when switching to linux. Sometimes the case is how you describe it. It is preferable to run an install command instead of trying to graphically click a .deb or .rpm file to install it. That way you can see the output of the install process which displays any errors. The dependency errors are no different than installing software on windows only to realize you have to add some .net framework package in order for the install to complete.

The dependency of a dependency problem you describe sounds like a nightmare. Joe Blogs probably doesn't work for them anymore? Luckily I have not experienced this on any commonly used packages. Usually you will see someone jump in and fix the package themselves or provide a compatible package to replace the broken one.

> and there aint nothing you can infect a windows pc with that isnt stopped by... not being a fucking moron, that you automatically dont get on linux.

More windows users = more windows viruses. Currently, you don't automatically get the same viruses because they are written for windows. But they could be ported to Linux..

> Wanna do useful stuff? By a windows PC. Wanna be able to play games without fucking about? By a console. Want to do BOTH of those on the same machine? Dont fucking install linux.

Linux is far superior for useful stuff. Auto-updates, auto-restarts, blue-screen crashes...etc are sure to kill any creative juices that may be flowing. Games have come a long way. I don't play a ton of games, but the ones I do play have become much easier to install. It used to be very challenging to get a game installed and running, but now it is nearly point and click for most games.

I am assuming you're on windows. I have used Recuva in the past with varying results. I think this one needs to be installed, but you can find an unofficial portable version online. Make sure you have another storage device available and copy the recovered files to it.

I know you said you can't use linux.... but you should really try to use linux.

What DNS are you using? They are likely blocking it.

He said they are using it to view public camera feeds and license plate readers. It can also display information located in the police databases.

After testing the headset, the Orange County Sheriff's CIO said, "I was able to transport myself into the environment and manipulate different aspects. I was able to manipulate maps and bring them up in a 3D environment, move assets, place officers in vehicles and manipulate camera feeds."

Michelle Malkin did a documentary about it somewhere around 2014 or 2015. Basically a group of 4 leftist billionaires brought their money into Colorado and heavily funded democrat campaigns. This is how the current Colorado governor, jared (((Schutz))) polis got elected. He was one of these 4 billionares.

So you think it is okay for an informant who works for the ATF to request and purchase two sawed off shotguns? When Weaver refused to become an informant himself, they pursued weapons charges against him. A probation officer sent a letter to Weaver with the wrong date for the trial. The trial was set to begin Feb 20th and the letter said it was on Mar 20th.

That is not just any nigger lawyer. This is THE nigger lawyer. His name is ben crump. This is the nigger lawyer they always seek out to represent the big "civil rights" cases. Example: trayvon martin, breonna taylor, michael brown and george floyd

Do you really find this funny?


/v/whatever viewpost?postid=66b251fcece39

You are drifting away from the point I was arguing. Ill humor you:
It depends on how large the sphere is and how far the towers are away from each other... But line of sight is definitely possible on a sphere.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

Are you really this dense? I am not asking you to test other equipment. Just humor me if you think it is retarded. Use your same phone you are already using and try a gps app, not a mapping app.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

google maps and apple maps? You need to test an app that just displays GPS statistics. Not a mapping app.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

Right, that doesn't mean that GPS requires a cellular tower to work. That just means that a particular app on your phone was programmed to to use more than just the GPS antenna to locate you and calculate the best route...

Try another app that only displays the GPS statistics. You will find that the GPS antenna still works when your cellular service is disconnected.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

You're assuming the programmers who built that app utilized only GPS for rerouting. Did they program it to call home and ask the server for re-route instructions? I don't know how the mapping apps handle this, so I cannot answer this. If you find an app that just displays GPS statistics and then turn off cell service you will see that your phone is still connected and receiving data from GPS satellites.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

You should test this yourself. With both cellular and wifi disabled, I have a fixed connection to 22/41 "satellites". You can argue whether these are real satellites or whatever... the point is, my phone can connect to them without cellular service.


/v/SPACEisFAKEandGAY viewpost?postid=66ad89ad85fe0

Sounds like you need to take a break from the internet...

You're one to talk.. All you post is spam.
