Read your motherboard manual carefully about what NVME types it supports in which M.2 slots and whether there are any gotchas.
Some M.2 slots take SATA (2 notches) as well as PCIe (1 notch), some only one type. You can’t tell visually — you have to check the manual.
Some M.2 slots will disable a SATA cable connector if you use them.
Some M.2 slots will work at a slower speed if certain PCI slots have a card in them.
If I’m not mistaken the only reason it’s not already on Xbox is because Microsoft insisted it needs to have shared screen on all models, which proved to be problematic and eventually impossible on S, but they refused to release it on X in the meantime.
Basically it’s very much Microsoft’s own doing.
I knew I had told them that I’m moving, so I asked for the recording of the call (which they have to give under EU law). Surprise surprise, they didn’t have that recording
You can’t leave the proof of cancel entirely to them, because they’ll just deny it ever happened (like they did). This is a very old trick that scummy companies use to milk another few months out of customers. It skirts the law because as long as you can’t prove you cancelled you can’t prove they did anything wrong.
You have to give them the cancel notice in a way they can’t deny. I do this with registered mail where I live, which is something that the Consumer Protection Office accepts as proof.
Another method is to register your calls with them, provided it’s legal where you live. You don’t have to warn them you’re recording as it doesn’t have to hold up in court (again, this is legal where I live, check yours), you just need it to help the Consumer Protection figure out they lied. The companies know this, so sometimes merely mentioning you have a recording will make them give up.
once google fully enforces hardware attestation passing safteynet with tweaks will be borderline impossible
Never gonna happen. Full hardware attestation would give Google all the cards and too much power over manufacturers. Samsung is the largest Android manufacturer and they’re making people jump though hoops to unlock bootloader precisely because they don’t want to end up with full attestation.
Samsung and Google have been locked into a power struggle for many years now and they’re both careful about keeping the armistice. Samsung maintains a set of apps that mimic Google’s, ready to go in case Google ever pulls a Huawei and kicks them off Play.
With git you don’t have to push and pull to a repo, it also works by sending signed commits over any method you want.
Linux development includes a large number of contributors who use email. Git was originally created specifically for Linux development so of course it caters to this approach.
There’s also the fact that the lead devs for Linux serve as a clearing-house for patches, so receiving them over email with explanations and everything helps them decide what makes it in.
Pull requests are not the only way of doing things. Generally speaking git can do a lot of workflows and architectures but most people are only familiar with gitflow and PRs.
Here are the most common mistakes people used to make when writing DVDs:
- Not buying a decent brand (low quality blanks).
- Writing the blanks at high speeds (highest that their optical drive could do). The depth and definition of the burned tracks was better the slower you went. It was commonly recommended to not go over 4x speed.
- Storing the written DVDs in their original spindles. This means that the discs would rest on each other and the ones on the bottom would be pressed down by all of those above. Over 10 years this would negatively affect the tracks. Ideally the discs should be stored in disc binders, in vertical position.
By following these precautions I still have 20-year old backup DVDs that I can read without a problem. In fact most of my CD blanks have survived and are readable – and the ones that didn’t owe it mostly to scratches (CDs were a lot more delicate than DVDs and nowhere near Blu Ray durability).
Gandi’s pricing is in line with what most other quality email hosting services charge. And it is a very good email service. I was also sad when they announced there were dropping the free email tier but after shopping around for an alternative service I’m forced to admit it’s what the market charges for the kind of features they offer.
It’s true though that the pricing doesn’t work for everybody. For example if you have multiple domains but very low overall email volume it’s not going to make sense to pay $60/year/mailbox. In that case a service like Migadu is probably better suite because they let multiple domains/mailboxes share the same storage/email limits for a much lower cost.
I also wish Gandi offered a lower cost tier but it’s their decision what kind of email users they want to target.
Any decent email hosting service should allow you some form of aliasing (whether it’s plus addressing or actual aliases). Ideally there should be no “default” address associated @your.domain, it should be all aliases. Preferably with wildcards so you can make them up on the fly when subscribing to a random website, without having to go into the admin settings. And naturally they should also offer wildcard sending (being able to send from anything@your.domain – this is supported by most decent email clients).
Bottom line, as long as it’s your own domain and you don’t abuse things like receiving/sending limits, attachment size, total storage size etc. you should be able to do whatever you want with your addresses and mailboxes.
on Gmail, you can also send from your forwarded addresses
I imagine that only works if you also host the address you forward to with Google? Otherwise I can’t see how Google can send email on behalf of a domain whose DNS servers it doesn’t control. If that were possible spam would be a lot worse than it is.
migadu.com, it’s a Swiss company with servers in France (great privacy laws). You can host multiple domains and unlimited mailboxes on the same account, which starts at $20/year. They limit on numbers of emails sent/received (200/20/day on the smallest account) and on total account space (5 GB smallest), not on features. You can host multiple domains, multiple mailboxes, multiple aliases, individual login per mailbox, TLS connections, IMAP/SMTP/POP/webmail and all the features you can think of.
