2·4 days agoLooks like cuda or cpu, and i just bought a radeon card.
Do you simply have no answer, or are you withholding them so you can feel smug?
Sorry to continue harassing you about it!
I’m going to be going Linux only in the near future. Do you know if that software is Linux/deck compatible?
Thanks! How does that “ultimate software” for PC work, is it necessary?
This one? It says Bluetooth is only for Apple devices.
That sounds great, are there different models? What are you using?
1·2 months agoThanks, it doesn’t look like the stock pixel supports it.
What do you use to switch off the internet access for it?
211·3 months agoAre you suggesting a political affiliation test for contractors? I don’t see how that could go wrong.
1·6 months agoThat post is fascinating. Thanks!
2·8 months agoSorry about that. I guess I completely missed your point that you were referring to data sharing only via the new “agreement” getting foisted on people. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get into Merlin.
Here are some screenshots from my router administration pages. Notice the “Powered by Asuswrt-Merlin”.
In the first image you can see that I have a particular feature disabled.
When I toggle it on I receive a warning that my information will be collected by Trend Micro.
I included another screenshot showing the location where I would withdraw my consent to having my data collected, were I to actually use the advanced features of the router, that I thought I was paying for at the point of sale. Instead I was apparently paying for the privilege of having the option dangled in front of me, behind an agreement for yet another, separate company to collect my family’s data.

The data sharing happens on merlin too
The data sharing persists even with merlin. I get a prompt about it as soon as I tried to enable those advanced features. I still get updates though.
Oh I’m not advocating that you switch distributions. If you’re happy with performance there’s no reason to change.
The only thing that gives me pause with outdated drivers is the possibility of being exposed to unpatched security vulnerabilities. But in my experience Debian does provide updates when it’s critical.
