That’s only for the webcam. Arch has working drivers for it as well. And in the end this is only temporary, until Intel gets drivers for these webcams in the kernel source. Work is being done on them, so it’s a matter of time.

Boy

At least on the 13 plus they support the LTS versions of Ubuntu. 20.04 and 22.04 at the moment. Basically any distro will work, just the alder webcam needs specific drivers that are not generally available.

Yes, the fingerprint reader on the 13 plus (9320) works fine.

I have a 13 plus (9320). Everything works in any distro, except for the webcam. Dell provides drivers for it for ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, and only for the default kernels it comes with. You can also get it working on arch.

Work is being done on these alder lake webcams, but there still is no support for them in the kernel at the moment.

I run mine in ubuntu with a newer kernel. And use my phone with droidcam as a webcam as a work-a-round. The newer kernels run better for battery life etc. I still have the default kernel installed, so I can reboot and use that, when I really need the built in cam.

They don’t even have an airtag on those things?

Yes it works in some situations. I use it on teams every day. I run the browser version of teams in gnome wayland.

I do the same thing. The camera on my old phone is much better than the one built into my laptop. And even though the phone’s battery is pretty much dead, that doesn’t matter since I have it hooked up and powered via usb all the time.

Oh, that sounds like an interesting idea. Currently stuck with teams at work. Screen sharing does work under wayland. But definitely going to try this.

Last weekend I was at a formula 1 race. And we got soaked in dihydrogen monoxide there…

Similarly there is pfSense for firewall/router/vpn/etc. It’s just rocksolid and stable.

I was thinking the same thing. I usually use the full res option. It’s been in there for years.

Yes US is very different in that aspect. I live in the Netherlands. Most people here have an app from their bank, with which you basically can do all your banking with. For payments between people, you can simply create a payment request in your banking app, and send a link to it via text, whatsapp, whatever. When clicking the link it will open the receivers own banking app with which the transfer can be me. Just the bank accounts, and amounts are already preset. It’s very easy to use, works with every bank, and everybody just uses the app from their own bank with all it’s safety measures.

Personally I hardly ever use cash anymore. Just tapping your phone to pay is so much more convenient. Also keeping track of where you spend your money is easier.

Out here we used to have atm machines everywhere. Their number has declined greatly though. They are still around, you will usually have to check a map if you’re in place where you don’t know their locations. Cash usage has definitely declined a lot these last year.

That being said, I think getting rid of cash completely is a bad idea. Cash certainly has it’s usage / advantages.

It also seems to differ from country to country by the way. For example Germany, still uses cash a lot more than we do here.

Just stick with the gestures for a week or so. You’ll get used to it. Wouldn’t want to go back to the button row anymore.

These settings are samsung specific. Samsung had optional gesture navigation before it was in android. Different gestures though (the 3 button swipe from the bottom option). So nowadays you can choose between the old style samsung gestures, the android gestures and toggle the button row on or off on samsung phones.

You can just download the firefox tarball from their own site. And that will just update itself.

Well, we have these devices with smaller screens these days. And people really want to use them for browsing the web as well.

😅

Just get some dongle like this if you need more ports.

At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.
