I’m using Ting right now. Cheapest plan is $10 + 5 per gig. I stay on wifi mostly, so that’s fine for me, but there is an unlimited plan for 25. I switched to it because Google Fi had terrible service in my area. However, both services only lease access to the towers, and which towers they connect to has changed over the years, so YMMV.
Why is it scrambled? To keep people from copying it?
Yes. Common practice to hide your code from the user, or potential rivals. I think they’ve been obfuscating the whole time, even back in Notch days.
It was kinda pointless in this case, and was the reason why mod updates were slow between versions, even for simple mods.
Sony hasn’t done the paperwork to officially do business in those countries, so you can’t make a psn account. And because Sony is intent on forcing psn accounts, it leads to this stupid situation where those countries are locked out, despite Steam supporting them.
Yep, the captchas are great. I’ve got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.
Endeavour’s current iso is still KDE 5 and X11, but if you do an online install it will default to 6 and Wayland. Just make sure to connect to the Internet before starting the installer.
I think they’re rationalizing it by saying that’s a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.
They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.
something implied about transporter buffers seems to indicate they can hold incredible amounts of data that starts to degrade very quickly
Exactly. I always understood the difference between replicators and transporters to be the level of detail in the scan. The replicators don’t need as much detail to make a convincing steak or a cup of tea. So they can store those scans at a much lower resolution and have a full, permanent library.
The transporters need an immense amount of detail to perfectly store your pattern, to avoid messing with your brain chemistry and causing transporter psychosis. It’s too much data to keep on hand for every crew member.
Yes, but the word rewrite implies that it would serve the same function and retain compatibility.
If someone wrote a new implementation of the x protocol, as a drop in replacement for the existing x.org server, you might call that a rewrite.
Wayland is an entirely different solution to the same problem. It doesn’t follow the x protocol, and doesn’t maintain compatibility with the x.org server.
I disagree. Not everyone wants to spend the time to completely customize their system. Distros like Manjaro and Endeavor give people a decent “just works” install while still giving them experience with the Arch ecosystem. The forums are usually a good resource, and everything on the arch wiki still applies. It might just be because I had previous linux experience, but I’ve learned a lot running Manjaro.
The average person is not going to jump straight into vanilla Arch as their first distro, but after a couple years with Manjaro, they might try it.
That’s exactly what they’re doing on the steam frame. I guess we’ll see how it works out there.
