So we still need CUPS. I was hoping that we could finally be rid of this layer......

I'm looking at the Canon imageCLASS LBP623Cdw

The product claims to support Canon PRINT Business, Canon Print Service, Google Cloud Print™,...

[Sonadow]

If that is going to be the case, what printer should I get nowadays in order to enjoy driverless networked printing on Linux?

Most of the...

In their defense, they always publish the processor model number clearly in the item listing, so the consumer has got to be really daft if they don't...

Got a whole range of them from 128GB up to 2TB.



Chinese SSDs can be either SLC, TLC or MLC like the big brand OEMs. No difference....

[Sonadow]

I don't see any reason to torture myself like that when a Chinese SSD from Taobao can be had at 1/2 the price of a big-name OEM like Crucial or Samsung....

Some of the chipsets like the MT7615 are available as oversized mPCIE cards.

Still, there isn't much point in rigging one to use as a client...

It appears to be a global practice. Was shopping on TaoBao and TMall for a WiFi repeater to bridge to a small NAS at home and all the cheap units had...

Whether or not Lenovo bundles Fedora with its laptops is really irrelevant imo.

If the laptops or systems are bundled with Ubuntu, that essentially...

Some of these new Atoms are quite power hungry. 12W? Really?

That said, a lot of small Chinese laptop OEMs are churning out Apollo Lake and...

It will affect you when the time comes for XFCE to finally drop X and decide whether to create its own compositor, or adopt a Wayland compositor framework...

That's good to know. I had to recently configure a CentOS box in which the Customer wanted SELinux to be reported as ON but not doing anything meaningful...

I obviously can't speak for them but I am quite certain they won't. China has already said it since the days of Deng Xiaoping and even with Xi Jinping:...

[Sonadow]

Every last one of this bullsH!+ has been debunked by netizens living in China (both local and foreign), and their so-called sources exposed as people...

[Sonadow]

That laptop is dead even before it could be realized. They are still clinging on to the old PPC64 and not PPC64LE, just because of Altivec. Other than...

If the Plasma developers are reading this forum, I only have one wish that has been outstanding for two years but still not addressed even today, and...
