I'm using Debian an when working for a client that requires Windows, I'm working in a VirtualBox with Windows Server 2022 as my desktop OS.
It works really well (running mainly Visual Studio) and licenses are pretty cheap. But the best part is, that there are no ads and other Windows 11 Copilot nonsense.
Picked up a Framework 13 for my daughter for Xmas. She’s a politics student, so she needs a solid keyboard. I hate installing Windows on this hardware, but she absolutely relies on Office and Citavi. Plus, proficiency in Windows is a standard requirement in her field. Maybe she'll discover Linux eventually!
You mean "absolutely relies on being able to work with Office formats". Which most Linux distros do well out of the box. I'm not aware of any feature that LO doesn't support, although admittedly I usually exchange PDFs.
> Citavi
According to the WineDB page for Citavi:, "native Linux alternatives include:
- BibSonomy / PUMA
- JabRef
- Mendeley
- Zotero
- Colwiz"
Of course when going through education you don't want to take risks, there is a lot on the line. But it may be worth to play with the alternatives a bit, albeit on a VM or something. Of course maybe the Citavi format needs to be exchanged; that could actually be a problem. Annoying.
Sure, it's doable, and I'm on Linux desktop as well and not missing anything. She never had a computer other than her iPad. So it's hard (for me) but for her it's the best solution right now.
Click on the leaderboard and prepare to be dismayed. 255 WPM @ 99% accuracy doesn't seem real. A cursory YouTube search shows the best typers maxing out around 210...
Please explain the downvotes. Parent talked about "Chrome Packaged Apps" which are vendor-specific. Instead, I pointed to the cross-browser solution that is recommended by Google and works today.
Right. Bluetooth beacons are a piece of hardware you would have to buy. Basically this tries to accomplish the same thing with just software. Here there is no hardware other than the server (which is provided) and a client computer (which you probably already own).
It really depends on how many routers are in your area. For places in cities, there are tons and tons of routers so its very easy to get pretty good resolution. For places more remote, you might not see many routers and then you would be for more limited in your resolution.
Assuming you wanted to very precisely map a small area (50mx50m or so) to the maximum resolution possible, and you had a budget sufficient to buy and place 20 or so wifi routers, what sort of resolution could you get?
I'm looking at this for gaming applications. Don't need milimeter accuracy but +- 30cm would be good.
The client-side code and the standard are fairly trivial to implement — thanks to Yubico as well — but the problem lies in designing and standardising an extension to the existing mail protocols, and getting that accepted as a common feature for e-mail providers (such as Google and Microsoft) and a common feature in MTAs and MDAs.
