I don’t understand, sorry. what I meant is the way you as the user do upgrades. you grab a terminal, elevate and run the system update command (zypper refresh, zypper update). major version upgrades are more complicated.
I can do this sure. But this is not noob friendly the slightest. and the YaST graphical tools don’t make it much better either.
I won’t say that the update system of windows is good because why the fuck does searching for updates minutes, and other reasons. but the UI of it is much better. it tells you what will it update, it has a button for starting the process, an automatism for it too. there’s also a menu for the update history.
how do they do regular updates? how do they do major version upgrades?
I think both of these is a big pain point.

that wasn’t 2 years ago. it’s 1 and a few months
we’re doomed then

its still better in a sense. usb storage devices all have an internal “mini computer” that run their own code and have access to the USB bus of the connected computer, with the ability to even present themselves as a keyboard, a network adapter or a lot of other things. that’s not a good idea to plug in to the hospital computer after it was given to the patient, and it is also not the best idea to just plug these in at home.
optical media on the other hand does not store code that is executed by the drive.
the problem is that pendrives have a firmware, and too much capabilities, even when not accounting for errors in hardware and code that participates in making it work. some of them (maybe most?) is even writable with the right tools, and the computer’s user doesn’t even need to know that it’s happening.
the most famous web browser that allows any website access to your USB devices with just 1 or 2 clicks makes this even worse.

is it a natural disaster when members of one of the endangered species destroys it?
I have been using the same CPU for half a decade. Not everyone is an impulse buyer.
there is a very small subset of cryptos that can be exchanged for real world goods and services too.
let me introduce you to my new invention: SuperDuperCoin!
I’m joking. but the first part is true.
So I don’t understand why people are taking issue with them cooperating with LE
some believe they (proton) are invincible and can do whatever they want. maybe because they think that’s what swiss privacy and swiss laws mean
it was an attempt to refer to the phrase “I’ve altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it further”
this is not “learning some second thing”, but learning that the deal was altered
the issue is that they can’t defy the law without shutting down and going into jail. proton has given the tool the activist would have needed to protect themselves: the service has an official onion site, which would have made IP collection impossible, and they could have just said they can’t know it
why?
do you have canvasblocker? some settings in it can heavily affect performance. other addons may have to do with this too
the people living there more strongly identified with Russia, wanted to be able to keep speaking Russian without persecution, and eventually pleaded with Russia to intervene on their behalf, which Russia fortunately did
this is the first time I hear this story. the previous story was “cleaning out nazis” or something like that. it seems goalposts have grown wheels
to respond to the title, I’m not sure about that. your problems are with the samsung system, not with all the custom roms. I think it’s not only graphene that’s the solution. It’s even only available for a little subset of the phones.
or maybe put them in a box, and put the location and description of that in the will.
that way nobody will get to know thepassword other than those it was intended for, and you can still change your passwords (and update the box) for your own security
