I thought it might be the ‘any’ key.

Looks like the are going all out with Copilot though.

Don’t know how Copilot works offline, OK neither does Google or Bing to a degree, but these systems are placing increasingly more load on round the clock connectivity. We don’t have decent 5G here in UK yet. Even 4G is patchy, and I’m in an urban area just north of London.

Should I worry though as I don’t use Windows, apart from work? Possibly not.

But its all about the numbers, like the speed thing we used to/still have on PCs.

Thing is, I’ve never has a problem with this - it works out at £35.88 (£2.99 x 12) per year for my HP Envy 5032. I don’t use their paper and have only once in 3 years run over allowance. I print about 2 or 3 times per week, sometimes more. I don’t change the ink as soon as warning comes on, I’ll wait until prints start deteriorating. Like I say - it’s not a problem. Just under £36 per year for ink isn’t a deal breaker for me. Having the right cartridge available without trying to find a shop selling them is.

Edit. Just to point out I’ve used printers from most of them. Colour/black and white lasers. Multifunction printers, photo, label printers and all.

Samsung colour laser was the best, but can’t justify the price now.

If I want photos, I get them done by a photo service. They will always have a better printer than me, and can afford the overheads.

If HP ever stiff the firmware and I can’t get CUPS to run it I’ll bin it.

Until then, it stays on my shelf and prints every few days. For £2.99 a month.

I never see any recommendations for MeWe here.

Does it have that bad a reputation?

Possibly could have reworded that last sentence. Unless it was a deliberate pun?

Can’t think what they’d want from this though. And why the police? They’ve got better things to do, this is a health matter.

Yes, what is the deal? I can’t say that I’ve noticed any issues. Am in UK if that makes a difference. And I usually run it through Proton VPN.

First they scrape them with their metal knives!

silicon storage heaven

There is no such thing!

I’d like to. But am in UK.

We took back control of our borders 😒

Been using it on all 3 of my machines for the last few months. I used to always end up back on Mint but about a year ago that started crapping out on things. MX just works for me. One thing about all distros (that I’ve tried anyway) lately, is that they don’t see the wifi card in my small Beelink PC. So it’s plugged in. Windows did see it, but I wiped that and installed Linux not long after I bought it. Had a couple of issues with KDE and it wouldn’t wake from sleep so back to XFCE. Not too heavily customised but it seems to be a keeper for my main machine - the Beelink. I have a Lenovo Ideapad that currently has Manjaro on - might try vanilla Debian on that. The other machine is an ancient HP laptop - MX XFCE will be staying on that until it craps out for good.

Well, what is your favourite then?

I think hope they were being sarcastic.

True. Does it not say or does it even give a fictitious author? Amazon should be held accountable if that’s the case.

Trusting Amazon’s AI produced books.

I see your point, but anyone with an ounce of intelligence will steer well clear of these.

That said, Amazon should be held responsible for deliberately promoting false and dangerous information.

Darwin awards will benefit - if that’s the right term.

That’s an expensive paperweight.

Same here. I did the trial 300 search thing and was very happy with that. Settling on the fiver a month plan as I can’t justify a tenner. Plus I realised that I don’t do much more than about 300 searches.

It’s so refreshing to not have ‘sponsored’ posts or adverts in front of your results.

Just cannot get on with it. Have tried a few times over the years.

And so is my wife!
