Learn to cook (which saves you money) and do all the house chores (including ironing).

Although it did have an nVidia card, my PC was an otherwise ordinary machine running Ubuntu, not a gaming rig or something custom built.

I love Linux. But I got so exasperated with system updates breaking X-Windows and dropping me into the console with no clue what to do, for some time I intentionally deferred the updates.

I wanted a stable daily driver, so in 2015 I switched from Linux to ChromeOS. Now I'm back to Linux with the Crostini container of ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi OS on a Raspberry Pi 400.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K in the early 1980s when I was 17. My parents agreed to buy it and I used to device to learn about computers, which I was curious about as I had played a bit with the Apple IIe and the Sinclair ZX-81 of some classmates.

Because it's the most effective and powerful tool for putting the Unix philosophy into practice.

An alternative is to ask questions about features of the pitched product or offer.

Possibly saving time and resources.

Okay. But if a robocaller doesn't lead to results, it may be programmed to give up on unpromising numbers.

 

When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don't bait, and don't interact. So why don't telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don't lead to any sales or other business benefits?

Maybe the cost of keeping the numbers is so low telemarketers just don't bother. Or keeping track of what numbers to delete may actually have a cost. Or perhaps telemarketers hope those people will eventually pick up the calls.

Any insight?

While I don't downvote posts with emojis I'm most interested in reading tech content, where emojis feel redundant and distracting.

VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it's also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire.

I've updated the post.

Looks nice indeed, thanks.

Interesting suggestion but possibly overkill.

Can you recommend any screen video capture tools compatible with Wayland? I’ll use such a tool on my Raspberry Pi 400 under 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, so I'd prefer one with appropriate Debian binaries.

Most washing machines have a timer that prevents you from opening the hatch just after the washing cycle ends. Instad you must wait for the timer to go off, usually a minute or two, before you can open the hatch.

Why? Would letting the user open the hatch immediately after washing ends pose any safety or other issues?

 

If you contact the customer support of your utility company, phone carrier, bank, or other service provider you'll likely be flooded with requests to rate the experience and provide feedback. Likewise, corporate websites and email communications often solicit feedback via embedded buttons or links to online forms.

What's with this corporate obsession with customer feedback?

Are these huge piles of feedback actually analyzed and acted upon? Is customer feedback some sort of corporate cargo cult? Or maybe clever marketing by vendors of feedback tools and services?

The impression is the feedback is just discarded or ignored.
