Only fascinating thing in story is "there was a short-circuit or other electrical issue somewhere inside the LM's" and decided to land anyway.

I'm sure they able to pay much more then 100$ per year. It's main difference between us and them. I doubt that. Maybe they are playing a game that, once downloaded and installed, doesn't cost money at all. Maybe it's even free. Maybe they are reading an e-book. Maybe they have a contract like mine:...

I have no idea what people do or how they can stay on their phones for hours upon hours throughout the day.

I have no idea too, but I'm sure they able to pay much more then 100$ per year. It's main difference between us and them.

I also feel it's sad how people have become so obsessed with their cell phones.

There is only 2 solution:
1). to make yourself more interesting for people than their smartphones.
2). if you can't, then leave things as is.

My daughter is coo-coo for cocoa puffs about "K-Pop", and K stars. My lovely Mexican American bride loves K-Dramas on Netflix (she also likes Taiwan dramas), she calls them "Korean Novelas". Its is funny how the Korean wave has arrived in San Antonio, Texas. No, at first it is important to know how...

Looked for a better forum, but I think "Chat about Linux" will suffice. Searched for the same general topic, but none quite fit this scenario. Scenario: You are in a public place, be it the airport, or Internet Cafe, or Fast Food restaurant. busy looking at your screen, munching on that crunchy don...

Are you successful in making money by installing Linux ?

Yes. But only when installing Slackware. Even housewives can install the rest of Linux.

700$ ia a price of the freedom? Really?

Linix Mint for beginners means only mostly beginners told which other.... Remember, boys, timeshift is system backup tool. Only tool! And only you and nobody else is responsible for how you using it. As usual there is stupid way and clever way.

It is interesting to know that Debian itself is entirely upgradable from 9 to 10.

I find it bewildering that stuff like that can actually happen. One would think that there would be some kind of a mechanism that would prevent programs from making the system unresponsive. Don't want unresponsive system? Mechanism already exists. Never use 10yo junks today and upgrade your system.

Tell me in what ways Mint will make my computer time more enjoyable, interesting, easier . . . whatever!

Who knows what should made YOUR computer more enjoyable, e.t.c. For you.

That's really basically the same explanation I have read often before on this forum: be careful what software you install and what websites you visit. Dont go walking into dark alleyways... Yes. There is no differences between "good" software, "bad" software (and ugly, of course). Everything is jus...

Thanks for posting that link Philotux. It will keep me on guard. The article doesnt offer any particular advice for protection though, besides the warning not to download unknown files that are given root access. Try click on clickable word "Skidmap" inside article. Then you can read original techn...
