Lead acid batteries like to be kept fully charged all the time and don’t like to be discharged below 50% state of charge.

Lithium batteries like to be kept around half charged. They degrade quicker when kept at a high or low state of charge. Running lithium batteries from 20-80% does extend the lifespan, but charging to 100% is fine when you need to go on a longer trip. Just don’t keep it at 100% for long periods of time.

Libreoffice Draw is the best option. You need to make sure all of the fonts used in the PDF are installed on your computer before editing it. The embedded fonts can’t be used for editing. If you are missing a font, Draw will try to find a substitute, which will most likely mess up the spacing. You can go to File->Properties in a PDF viewer like Okular or Xreader to get a list of the fonts that the PDF uses.

Most PDFs aren’t intended to be edited. The incorrect text splits are an issue caused by the program that created the PDF.

That’s what MidnightBSD did.

California residents are not authorized to use MidnightBSD for desktop use in the state of California effective January 1, 2027. California law CA AB1043 requires a complex age verification system implemented for operating systems with no exceptions for small open source projects. At this time, we don’t have development time or a plan in place for this.

The photo ID requirements are what will come next.

That’s the best way. It just adds a ReplayGain tag to the files instead of reencoding them at a different volume.

Normal blurays are easy to rip. The 4k ones need a drive with hacked firmware.

Letting AI code a kernel module is a terrible idea. A bad kernel module can easily crash the system and can create all kinds of security vulnerabilities.

Phones, tablets & computers have it too.

It keeps someone from booting code that hasn’t been signed with my key. That’s the whole point of secure boot. If someone else has the key, then it’s not secure anymore.

Secureboot is worthless if the Microsoft keys are still enabled. It should only allow code that you sign yourself to boot.

It’s for archival of data that needs to be stored for thousands of years, not for consumer use.

The AI bubble can’t burst soon enough.

There is NetSurf, Dillo, Links and W3M.

Search still works and I can view the videos & channels I’ve bookmarked.

If they are based out of China, then Amazon won’t get a single cent out of them. They will be back up with a new name and website soon.

If someone gets into your PC, you have much bigger problems than them reading the system logs.

So start making more dumb TVs and speakers. That way they don’t need much memory.
