FTP?

I've been using ODF professionally and privately for years now without any issues. What's the problem your side?


One of the first things I install on any new computer is Gimp. Thank you to all involved in the Gimp project.


Well, I guess you just have to go wake him up now won't you?

Linux & LibreOffice. At the end of the day I'm grateful to all people who work on open source and free software.


People mix common cold with flu all the time. If you have the flu you usually can't even go out of bed, even with medication.


I already made that choice. Have had 3-day weekends for more than 4 years now.


Sorry, but I find that hard to believe. Part certainly wasn't very basic.


Slab of aluminium milled to a flat triangular-ish shape about 10mm thick, then inside hollowed out to half depth and 8 counter-sunk holes non-tapped. Common issues: - item is not flat - nicks and dents on the edges - non uniform depth of the counter-sunk holes - holes in incorrect locations - unapproved changes to design - scratches - pores (poor material quality) - incomplete milling

Then parts have to be hard anodised and sand blasted.

- Sand blasting uneven - Sharp edges remaining - Streaks - Contamination - Exposed bare metal (it is only acceptable in the holes that could be used for hanging)

Companies also have virtually non existent QA. You can list them things that will cause rejection and they send it anyway.

One company told him after sending a batch that was complete carnage "We can give you $100 coupon for next order!" he insisted on rework. So they sent again, even worse.


A lot of hate and bashing of Firefox here. On my Linux machine (relatively modern desktop) there's no difference in speed between Chrome(Chromium) and Firefox. A lot of people talk about goodies and extensions. I get it, life is easier with some of those but I just don't care. I use it barebones with enhanced tracking protection and it works flawlessly. Don't see many ads, the ones I see are not intrusive.


In two decades of using it (yep) I never had an issue. I used it on Linux, MacOS and Windows and I don't remember any issues whatsoever.


Same here, although I've had a couple issues but I actually contacted the website operator and over time they fixed the issues (either that or firefox themselves fixed it). It never hurts to reach out to tech support and ask for firefox support!


Switch 2 is amazing.
