I hate when that happens. Gotta be a manufacturing error. It happens to me all the time with spoons as well, I’m eating with one normally, and then suddenly it turns inside out and can’t grab any soup!

In many languages the days are numbered, e.g. “First day”, “Second day”, …, “Seventh day”. Speakers of those languages have no question about when the week starts.

Notably, the older languages start the week on Sunday. Some of the languages that start the week on Monday can be attributed to mistranslation from the former group. So starting the week on Sunday is historically more correct.

Disclosure: I speak a language that starts the week on Sunday, so I’m biased.

Literal superpower. You hold us all at your mercy.

Is it worth it? That depends. What percentage of the boys does it bring to the yard?

Yes. In a frictionless vacuum.

My biggest gripe is:

1. Save game
2. (without ever resuming gameplay) Exit game
3. “Are you sure? Any unsaved progress will be lost!”

I JUST SAVED! YOU KNOW I JUST SAVED! YOU KNOW THERE’S NO RISK OF PROGRESS LOSS!

In most of those cases there’s no “save and exit” option.

The de facto lingua franca is English, except things like “de facto” or “lingua franca”.

Where I am, you get a message when it’s been used, but obviously not any identifying information.

Also I have absolutely no way of knowing if the message is legit or they just tell you that a random time after your donation regardless just to make you feel good and donate again.

This is such a fantastic answer. I wish stuff like this was the top search result for these questions.

I will note that perhaps Linux Mint should get a ♻️, since it comes with a very simple “Driver Manager” utility that detects your GPU and allows you to select the appropriate proprietary driver for it. The onboarding welcome program directs you to open it.

potato, tomato…

It was a slight exaggeration, but curl and libcurl are genuinely used pretty much everywhere. Including NASA space missions.

Don’t leave us hanging…

Yup, they have amazing specs for relatively low prices. The catch, as we agree, is in the QC.

Hey, if you already bought it, keep using it as long as it serves you. I’m still using the asus laptop that taught me this lesson, even after its touchscreen failed completely (about a month after the end of warranty) and it has a whole bunch of issues to watch out for, like sometimes staying partially on after shutdown and overheating in my bag. But it can still compute and run Linux Mint fine, so I’m not throwing it away. Just covered the asus logo with a sticker to save some face.

But now that you know, don’t buy anything new by asus. I hope for you that your Ally stays good for as long as you use it, but my experience and others’ suggests that in a year or two it’ll start to show its many flaws. The touchscreen is pretty important for a device like that, isn’t it? Good luck.

Daniel Stenberg isn’t a random person, he is the lead developer of curl which is the backbone of quite literally every networked device on the planet and outside of it. The curl project supports a very large number of protocols. His opinion does mean something here.

That said, this does need to be clarified in the Wikipedia page, and it’s still possible that his criticism isn’t actually relevant in the end. I’m still reading about this.

I’ll do you one better: do not buy ANYTHING made by Asus. That stuff’s built to fail as fast as possible.

I used to use Vivaldi and liked it a lot, why wouldn’t you recommend it?

(Nowadays I just use Firefox. No particular reason)

Both are perfectly readable to me, Perhaps that other user had some issue that showed him a low-res version. Federation isn’t perfect.

seems worse to me if anything. unless OP used to be worse and they switched it
