The only saving grace with Samsung washing machine was it had two years of warranty and after about the 6th repair in just over 14 months the retailer swapped ot for another brand.

Typing this on a S24 Ultra and have numerous tvs but will shy away from any elctro domestics in the future.

Can someone from the US explain , like I'm a 2 year old, how it is possible to pass a piece of legislation as part of a completely unrelated piece?

I.e. If they wanted to not block TikTok would they have had to block the whole bill from passing , so no aid?

I've been running Fedora39 Workstation on my laptop for the last 3 months as it couldn't upgrade to W11 and for purposes Linux gives me everything I need.

I run Gnome with KDE Spin and OpenSuse KDE on Boxes, as I wasn't sure what I was going to stay with.

But following the seamless update using dnf on both Gnome and KDE I'm sold on Fedora going forward, i never expected a version upgrade to be so straight forward on Linux and so far, fingers crossed, everything still working.

Has the death sentence been a deterrent for any crime?

Pineapple and apple go well in pasta salads. Again not at the same time but the added sweetness and texture helps enhance the salad.

I had a similar issue with Mint on my Latitude 7480, ended up using Fedora where everything just seems to work.

Best advice I can suggest is always use a live USB because if something doesn't work there it won't after install either.

We had Latitude 7480s which also didn't support Windows 11.

I purchased my old one for a steal and it's now running fedora quite happily.

One businesses loss has been my gain.

For Huawei , if that's the case why did US not target all Chinese manufacturers and only the one that, at the time, was becoming the most technologically competitive one.

As for EV the argument regarding takeover as a wartime industry whilst maybe true not it still smacks of US protectionist practice rather than a genuine security fear.

They did the same to Huawei and lots followed. This has nothing to do with security and all to do with preventing China's leap ahead of US as a global economic technology powerhouse

If I even tried to plug a USB into my laptop security would be down on top of me like a ton of the proverbial .... the same way that the only true way to be secure is don't plug into the internet the only way not to piss off corporate is don't f*ck with their stuff.

One of the many reasons I won't buy Samsung.
