Just on your Enlightenment point there, I tried Bodhi Linux a few years ago because the Enlightenment desktop looked really good, but over time they (Bodhi) had to create their own desktop because Enlightenment appeared to have almost stopped work.

Might be something for you to check out...?

I love to see professionals in action.

That's craft(wo)manship right there.

Ah, good call on using the power to get the tablet to respond... I don't have that problem (tablet freezing), but it does drop off the wifi sometimes.

It's just not quite yellow enough, esp. on 1 side where's it's been too close to a window... otherwise, yeah, bring back beige

Just a casual bystander with no clue what's going on... why's change.org a problem?

Edit: ok, read more posts, understand now

I've done similar with an old Android tablet. Installed Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboard AND read the battery level - above 75%, switch off power...

But... automations only trigger when going past the threshold once, so if there's a random issue where HA doesn't see the battery drop below 10%, (had that happen a few times in the past), then I also have multiple triggers for 5% and 2%... to turn the power back on again 😉

But the U.S. government’s moves to crack down on cheap e-commerce parcels from China have pushed sellers to rethink their business strategies.

So, there's the problem then. If they made it all more expensive for the American consumer, then that solves the problem. /s

On a serious note: it's obviously cheaper because there's no physical shop with no staff. Isn't this how Bezos started out, from a garage?

It's so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we'd just pass in the street... and then they're gone.

Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi

But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?

Windows is a per-user GUI... supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn't it?

I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don't need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they'd be better off with DOS...?

Wha?

(searches interwebs)

Wow, that completely passed me by...

Wow. I'm going to have to try some of those out! Thanks

I think you've missed the point.

Yes, they're looking to continue selling older titles and your point is that pirating / torrenting is free, but GoG are ensuring the game will actually run on a modern machine - the pirated ones will have problems (not even covering the potential malware ridden ones)

I've been there, done it, got the t-shirt, the t-shirt faded, got ripped and is now a rag somewhere... this is a good move by GoG.
