Open your computer and reseat any cables and components that you can.

Maybe even do a memory test with something like MemTest86(?).

Random electric noise and disconnects could cause random corruption issues like this.

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card?

Can you try a USB to HDMI adapter? I don’t recall how they work with a dedicated card. Haven’t used one since Intel i7 gen 2 days, so my reference points are no longer relevant.

You are a true friend.

The red circles convinced me to enlarge the picture to read it.

That’s when you know you’ve won!

If your faster computer now requires you, yourself, to move faster, then relative to you, the new computer might run at the old speed, or slower. Hmm.

Raspberry Pi Connect needs your Raspberry Pi to be running a 64-bit distribution of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm that uses the Wayland window server. This in turn means that, for now, you’ll need a Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, or Raspberry Pi 400.

At the moment, the Raspberry Pi Connect service has just a single relay (TURN) server, located in the UK. This means that if rpi-connect chooses to relay traffic, the latency can be quite high.

Our intention is that Raspberry Pi Connect will remain free (as in beer) for individual users with non-relayed connections, with no limit on the number of devices.

The poor astronauts on the International Space Station miss out on so much.

Yup, that was a whole kerfuffle. That is what got me to stop installing Ubuntu.

But how is a new person supposed to know that? Ubuntu is still at the top of many charts. And has years of previous positive reviews.

It’s almost like you didn’t read the article, because this specific point is addressed.

You only got part of the quote, and not the part that really is what the article is about.

I understand that Canonical has every right to make the decision about their product. You want to promote Snap over Deb, fine. But don’t do it in a deceiving manner.

And there is a pretty reasonable middle ground:

If you would like to keep your ‘Snap store’ deb-free, fine! At least have the decency to provide Gdebi by default for local deb file installation.

Huh, I had not thought about using two different bulbs like that. Fancy! (Not sarcasm)

If you don’t know, you aren’t required to comment.

I do the same to people who refuse to follow specifications they agreed to follow.

There is a slight satisfaction to get back at them for continually delivering much lower quality than is required.

But it really is to cover me. Because, it always happens, later in the future that edge case comes up, and everything breaks. And management is ready to blame me. But then I show them that I tested the edge case before the conclusion of the project. And that programmer ignored my emails, and that I told management these edge cases weren’t covered. But then management signed off on calling it complete. And suddenly management is no longer red with fury. And they usually won’t allow me time to fix it. So the can gets kicked down the road until the next time that edge case fails.

Just wanted to say your English is wonderful.

Best reason I have is that I never remember if it is spelled ElementAry or ElemenTRY, due to the way the word is pronounced in the US.

That’s pretty awesome.

Wish I could use this to fix the same issue I have in Windows with office VPNs.

Took me a while to remember the naming convention means “resolve daemon” and not “resolved”-past tense of resolve. Doh.

Zes! Or maybe zo. Hmm.
