For GDPR, that could not be enough. If the data you hold can be used to indirectly identify someone, that information is subject to GDPR. The main example is when information can is combined with other information that allows individuals to be identified.

You can still get a google account without signing up for Gmail, so you can still use Google Docs and share/collaborate fine.

Why Kompute and not OpenCL ?

Worth noting there are many different ways to get CUDA with WSL2 working.

If you follow the MS docs, they do not mention anything about install CUDA on the Linux VM, you do not get a functional setup to start using CUDA and if you follow Nvidia's documentation, they push you down the docker container route. I personally prefer to setup Tensorflow using Anaconda rather than pip.

A slight correct on the OP, the special driver NVIDIA mentions is for CUDA only (no display driver included), Nvidia does not "support" installing of their full display driver in WSL2 so YMMV in terms of reliability and performance.

I personally gave up on WSL2, not because of WSL2, but because it is so hard to use remotely (I do not have frequent local access to my GPU workstation). I tried various instructions and WSL2 itself was fine when used locally (via remote desktop), but networking scripts I found were unreliable, or if I used Windows openssh server it kept crashing and bash.exe is too limited to be useful, just not worth the hassle and effort when I can install Linux native.

I currently can't drive. I am slowly learning how poor an experience many places I visit are for pedestrians and appreciating more pedestrianised zones such as what is being planned here. Further, I am noticing how often places where pedestrians and cars mix, they are poorly designed, often lack safety margins and downright dangerous spots for pedestrians, nor considerations for less than perfectly able (I am in this category intermittently).

/me waves from Leeds Uni. Hello fellow RSE.

I am in the UK. I buy from eBay, there are a number of big sellers to choose from. I tend to get my batteries from Amazon, I've probably bought 6 generic unbranded for my thinpads over the years, generally they seem to be about 90% capacity of genuine, but low prices mean great value. One I bought in 2020 was faulty on arrival, rest have all been good.

For my X220 I went for a cheap generic Chinese import (either Amazon or Ebay), its about 90% capacity of a genuine, but the price is so low its not a worry.

I like to buy ex-corporate ~5 year old Thinkpads, get from a seller who gives atleast 6 months warranty, put new batteries in and they are usually far better in every way than anything new for the same price. Am currently very happy with my T460S, runs Linux or Win10 great. My previous machines that the kids use for school work and Roblox are x250 and x220, and previous to that I have an X200 and a T61, that all lasted atleast 5 years in my ownership, over 10 years old before they were sold on. I have noticed since my X200 a slow and steady decline in toughness (I presume in exchange for compactness). You do have to pick carefully, some models have terrible trackpads, often the base LCD screens are terrible for brightness and viewing angle, so you need to ensure you get the upgraded ones (eg IPS and/or higher resolution).

I used to love listening to mods and demos on my Amiga. One of my school projects was making an adjustable 2 channel mixer out of a couple of op-amps and a handful of resistors and a 2 pot variable resistor (plus power), even etched the PCB myself. This allowed me to mix the sound output from my A1200 to give a better stereo effect (rather than sound coming out of either the left or right), which made listening on Hi-Fi separates (my dad gave me his old broken Rotel amp which turned out to only need new internal fuse replacing to work ) much easier on the ears.

Yes and also it was the tight nit communities that hung around on the more popular servers that helped monitor and deter cheaters and even have rights to kick users as needed to assist the server operators.

You are giving them too much credit, it will be copy and pasted from the post/thread/comment/accepted solution that you have already stated you have tried and does not work.

Meanwhile in the UK this week ...

"The government agreed to regulate BNPL lenders after an independent review chaired by City expert Christopher Woolard, published in February, warned that the sector represented a “significant potential consumer harm”."

So the issue is not Android (AOSP) provided by google, but OEMs ?

PHP maybe worth learning and using for building websites, but PHP is one of the worst languages to learn for someone who is interested in learning programming as a hobby, interest or career.

How many of those vulnerabilities have patches available ?

Removal of this feature from Windows 10 has secured the future of Linux Desktops in the University where I work, as we are years away from Windows 11.

How do you know that and its not Facebook making that choice (based on poor decisions) ?

Agreed, I was locked out of access to my funds for months, not one human response until my complaint escalated to the Financial Ombudsman (UK), got compensation, then tried to delete my account after withdrawing all my money, raised a support ticket, then last week my account was closed with the following message:

"Upon careful review, we believe your account has engaged in prohibited use in violation of our Terms of Service and we regret to inform you that we can no longer provide you with access to our service."

I've seen the pain and eventual death 2 close family members have had to suffer due to Kidney failure and I also will face the same as my kidneys continue to gradually fail, the complications are bad and side effects can lead to death alone, the limitations of sometime like this artificial Kidney are absolutely miniscule compared to the benefits on offer.

And a nicely detailed writeup.

We evaluated Jupyter Book against Read the Docs when building our new docs site (https://arcdocs.leeds.ac.uk/), the main reason we favoured Jupyter Book was that its easier to build and test locally and being able to use GitHub actions to build the html without relying on and being at the mercy of another third party service.

It gets even worse when you go from human eye to screen (eg sRGB) to print (eg Pantone).

Just to be clear, which/what labs are you referring to here ?

Conversely, I have a new F&P CPAP machine and it was clear this machine has a built sim card and an app can be used to download the data via bluetoothfrom is explained in the instructions. My Sleep Doctor even told me. I don't have to worry about insurance compliance (mine is through the NHS, UK).

FYI, in the UK, historically city status was given to towns with cathedrals, but since the 20th century city status is awarded by the monarch. England has 3 large towns with over 200000 population -Luton, Northampton and Reading and about 30 towns with between 100000 and 200000 population.

We should also consider how many apps are usefully available as websites through a FOSS browser (on phone).

I have used it in the past and its great, sadly it does not support the multiple cameras of my Motorola.

Though not FOSS, Magic Earth is a good OSM based car navigation app that respects privacy. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.generalmag...
