Look at money man over here. Showing off his two tongs.

I believe the iOS Mail app is getting a UI redesign before the end of the year.

Do most smart TVs still allow performing updates via USB? I have an older LG TV which does this.

I’m sure she was super impressed.

If you’d like a GUI, use Trayscale with it.

The Linux version does not provide a GUI on its own but still makes it super easy to login and manage

I dunno what you’re talking about. Stock dialer has it for me.

Apple iOS Settings app showing “Silence Unknown Callers” toggle

Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.

The Mac app? That would be great. Only problem is that the plugin ecosystem is centered around macOS, and they use native UI. However, they do have a waitlist for Windows (and iOS).

Something like that is gonna be hard to pull off.

Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.

However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.

In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.

iCloud+ has this too. 50 seems to be the limit.

Yes, the MX150 is an option for the ThinkPad T480. You can still use the integrated graphics though.

First, you gotta check for ultraviolet, ghost writing, and freezing temps.

(I really hope somebody gets that reference)

I absolutely agree with you, but look at launchers and such. Steam is very much proprietary and commercial. I find it a little odd that those who might do anything to avoid proprietary software, willingly use it for gaming.

Those are just my thoughts.

 
 

Most settings applications (GNOME Settings, KDE Control Center) give very limited access to managing lower level components in the system. For example, kernel management, managing groups, etc.

If they did though, in your opinion, what would be the most effective way to offer a simple experience for some users, and more control for those who need it? How would most desktops implement this "hybrid" approach?

Or should users not be able to control those things graphically at all?
