    iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • It’s not like your SMS messages are any more secure. If you message someone using Google’s RCS servers they’re going to be using Google Messages and it’s being read by Google either way. At least with RCS you can send pictures that don’t look like ass and sidestep all the reliability issues that SMS causes

    Does Piastri's second stop make any sense?
  • IIRC in the post race interview he mentioned that he had bad graining on the front left wheel and they he didn’t think the tires would hold up. Both McClaren cars seemed to have more problems with that than the rest of the field

    Sanity Check: Installing Linux on a New Drive on an Old PC
  • Not OP but if you have experience with it, how does LMDE stand up to a normal mint install for stability? An Ubuntu-less release seems super cool

    Sanity Check: Installing Linux on a New Drive on an Old PC
  • Yeah, GParted to create the MBR partition table and then let the installer manage the actual partitioning for you. It’s helped me in the past to physically disconnect drives I don’t want to accidentally overwrite, but that’s more of a “I don’t want to make a mistake” problem then issues with the installer

    Sanity Check: Installing Linux on a New Drive on an Old PC
  • I’ve never had any issues with the mint live environment, but trying XFCE might be helpful. I would also try booting the computer and waiting until it stops reading from the dvd before doing anything. The live systems gets copied off the dvd, and I can see there being problems if you’re doing things that need data that hasn’t been copied into memory yet.

    It’s also possible your memory could be starting to go. Is the windows installation stable? Some linux installers have a built in option to run a memory test (and some bioses as well) but I can’t remember if Mint does. Memtest86+ is a standalone memory testing program can be flashed to a usb drive or burned to a disk.

    As pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online (On mobile, I think that’s the right person) mentioned, are all the hard drives internal? Do they show up in BIOS? The Mint installer should be able to see them. Before trying to setup all the partitions in GParted, I would try creating a new MBR partition table on the drive you want to use, saving, and rerunning the installer.

    You can still change both order from bios, but most linux boot managers give you the option of booting to a list of operating systems and then choosing the default after a certain number of seconds.

    Leading smartphone vendor in each country
  • I’ve been on the iOS 18 beta for the last month or so and RCS support has been super smooth. Still “green bubbles” so it’s hard to distinguish at a glance from SMS, but there are headers every time it switches between the two like when switching between iMessage and SMS

  • RCS on android is similar, and when IOS 18 comes out of beta it’ll finally support RCS which basically solves this completely. Uses wifi or data, sms fallback, works cross platform, and allows for high quality pictures/video, read receipts and reactions

    Storage space and new codecs: So much collected as h265.
  • My Jellyfin server currently downs support decode for modern formats, so I’m actively avoiding them and it’s getting considerably more difficult

    Steam now identifies reviews that come from Steam Deck players
  • Could have yeah, but I already find looking at distros and specs to be super helpful on ProtonDB. Of course it isn’t going to be 100%, but if every person who has a problem with a game is using a certain GPU or distro it’s usually safe to assume that something about that is causing the issue
