    Canadian? then https://forums.redflagdeals.com/costco-hisense-2022-2023-2024-4k-43-100-tv-model-sale-clearance-298-2629232/

    With your budget, take the 75U78N at Costco, 2yr warranty + you can extend to 6yr for 150$ I think.

    Hisense especially the 78N (and 88N) have absolutely beautiful stunning picture, maybe one of the best for the buck, check the review https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u7n-u7-u75n it handles DolbyVision, HDR, 144Hz, etc

    It does not use a shitty OS like roku nor ads like Samsung. You may need to have it plugged on internet for 1st boot and FW update, but after this you can obviously disconnect it, plug your HDMI device and that's it, it will act as a dumb monitor.

  • Can this be recovered? 2nd image is of the first non zero bytes of the partition. Btrfs was used.
  • Frederic Frederic 3d ago 100%

    Your btrfs was in a LUKS partition and you can decode it? But know that btrfs uses smart compression by default, so you can recover jpeg or zip easily in general, but for stuff compressed, not sure how to decompress them by hand ... Like other commenter wrote, first do a full copy on another HD.

  • Frederic Frederic 6d ago 100%

    yeah about the same, old coot here, I plug a USB3-SSD (encrypted with LUKS) and rsync from internal HD to this external HD. That's it.

    The A1x series has always been very low budget, slow, etc, anyway, in 6 years the phone will be unusable.

    On modern android, it's about impossible without rooting your phone

    yeah, on previous phones I played cat-and-mouse with magisk and all kind of patch to have Wallet work, but it breaks every 2 or 3 weeks and you have to chase down how to re-fix it..

    Same for PoCo ? It seems the PoCo F3 is one of the phone with the most custom ROM development on XDA, very popular.

  • Why is changing the keyboard layout so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux and other normal OSes?
  • Frederic Frederic 3w ago 100%

    I'm with you on the french canadian keyboard, in a recent W11 laptop I got from work, it's damn complicated to go in the settings, languages, etc and finally find the option to change keyboard layout! And sometimes if you have more than one kb, the system switch from one to another with some secret combo keys or damn god whatnot. I removed the US keyboard and just keep the FR_CA one.

  • Canadian Young Adults Face Soaring Unemployment & Unaffordable Housing: BMO
  • Frederic Frederic 1mo ago 100%

    Problem is mostly housing. When people earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, there's a problem. In great Montreal, pre-covid, you had 1bd appartment for 500$ sometimes less, now it's 1200+$

    I don't know what will happen with this, and the hundreds of thousands new people coming each and every years need housing too, and schools, and healthcare. Of course millionnaires politicians don't give a shit.

    I'm using Xfce, and the program to control volume is "pavucontrol", no problem with it...

    Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so

    Well, I have for 3 years now a PoCo F3 with MIUI, and HyperOS now, and never had an ads or bloatware, in the first hour I got the phone, I just uninstall/disabled some apps and didn't consent on the "miui" stuff, that's it.

    I have an account on beehaw. lemmy.ca is federated with beehaw, both way. I subscribed to !quebec@lemmy.ca and created a post, from beehaw. I can see my post here: https://beehaw.org/c/quebec@lemmy.ca but not on the lemmy.ca instance: https://lemmy.ca/c/quebec why? How does this work?
