Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I've always considered "stock" to mean how the device ships from the factory (that's how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it's something you can compare other ROMs against.

Regardless of mine or anyone else's opinion, we're just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers

This might be for the better, but Discord was so infuriating about updates and forcing you to download them what felt like 50% of the time I opened it, I gave up and just use it in Ungoogled Chromium now. I'm pretty sure within a few months I ended up having 15+ debs of Discord in my Downloads folder.

For anyone else trying to use the native Discord app on Debian, I think they'll find this a major treat.

It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think "Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I'm just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter." and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.

First pass reading the title I thought it read "Still getting dumber lately?" And I'm just like "Yup!"

Here I was thinking a new revision of Power over Ethernet was announced and I was thoroughly confused

I like that it doesn’t detract from the original mood. I also appreciate the remaster of the washing machine model, it really needed it.

That all being said, it’s also amazing that those 20 year old graphics still don’t look half bad.

The digital sign the local university has is powered by a Raspberry Pi - I caught it rebooting while driving past

For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium

If it doesn't work beyond that then I just won't use the website.

God I can only imagine spoonkid reading this sponsor out and it wouldn't even sound off

While I'm far from being a sysadmin I'm in the same boat. Main study laptop is Linux but I just end up using Windows on my gaming PC for the same reasons.

I think this is a bad take, a take that assumes one is superior for using Linux over proprietary alternatives

Hi guys

I have a Retina MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch with 2.9GHz i5, with Ventura on it using OCLP.

I have a StarTech DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link Active Adapter (DP2DVID2) which I use with my 2560x1600 Dell monitor that only has a DVI Dual Link input. This adapter works flawlessly with my work laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 via a HP USB-C dock, but connecting it to my MBP (using another adapter going from Thunderbolt 2 to DisplayPort), the built in display goes blank for a second, and then comes back but there's no image or activity on my Dell monitor.

If I boot my MBP into Windows 10 via Bootcamp, it works totally fine at full resolution, and the same can be said for a live installer of Linux Mint. Booting into El Capitan, Monterey or Ventura does not seem to detect my monitor.

I've got a couple images of System Information in case it helps: one and two.

I actually originally posted this issue to MacRumors but no one replied to me at all, so I'm now trying this Apple community, but if this isn't the right fit then I apologise in advance and would like to know where I should post this instead.

 

I actually intended to post this to Reddit but I thought I would contribute content to here instead to get the ball rolling here and do my part.

Anyway, this is a Windows XP-era machine I have at work for testing, and I had just this monitor plugged into it and saw the CPU fan trying to spin. I spun it a bit myself and it just kept going. I disconnected the HDMI cable and it stopped.

The monitor is actually DisplayPort, with a passive adapter to HDMI which then goes to the HDMI cable connected to this PC. The GPU is just PCI-E. The computer has some old ~2007 AMD CPU in it. The GPU actually doesn't seem to work anyway, the PC posts normally but there's no image from either the GPU or onboard, but when putting either another GPU or no GPU, there's an image from the appropriate output.
