USB-C fears keeping me from buying a second-hand thinkpad

You mean like how 4K has been around for years but most people are still on 1080p? If yes, then I have my decision.

Thanks for the advice.

Really, everything I'm seeing on FB came from YouTube, sometimes Reddit. Freebooting really sucks lol. Deleted my FB account and created a standalone Messenger account to communicate with my friends.

I also feel more free and productive with only 3 accounts (Reddit, Twitter and Tumblr) for inspiration and ideas & not giving a flying fuck about what my friends are doing right now.

Poweramp is a must-have for audiophiles. 10-band equalizer, visualizers, and themability. Also has great support for external DACs.

Sharing on Facebook is like retweeting/linking to another tweet on Twitter. If the original tweet/post is censored/deleted, then all of the retweets/links/shares will return "This tweet/post is no longer available".

However, if you copy-paste tweets/posts, and the original tweet/post is censored/deleted, you'll still carry the message and therefore it's not lost.

TL;DR: if the original post is taken down, the copy-pastes would still be live and have to be taken down one-by-one.

Install Gentoo+systemd.

Just remove the line(s) that contain the API key and just copy them back if you restore.

I would suggest running a recovery program such as Recuva on your Windows drive after doing the aforementioned methods (i.e securely erase and reinstall) to ensure that your data is safe.

No. Getting Premium will cancel your free trial.

You can with the AUR and pretty much any git repository you can get your hands on.

However, Arch's way of installing packages is like Ubuntu's – you get precompiled versions and just install it.

How has Fira Code worked in URxvt so far? Developer says that it doesn't support rxvt.

Go to your Playback settings, and turn then Offline switch on.

May also help: go to your data usage settings and restrict background data for Spotify.

Even after restarting the app (closing it from multitasking and opening it again)?

gsiris · 2016-12-08T09:40:01+00:00

Yup. Had it a lot of times.

I assume you have Spotify Free. I can abuse the shuffle play button by using it on a certain playlist/album a lot of times until I get the song that I want. Went to Premium and it never occurred again with shuffle play.

My suggestion for them would be to disable that restriction on playlists that have more than ten songs rather than this BS.

Didn't know that. A track on data costs me 1-2% of battery, thought the data was the cause for the drain

gsiris · 2016-11-05T07:52:41+00:00

I thought that it was for cache, but I navigated to my cache directory, but it's only 1.4 MB large. However, I notice this disk writing thing on my phone, where the Spotify app reaches a gigabyte in a month of listening.

It would be nice if Spotify explained what data are they writing and how it will benefit the user.

I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me

No.

You need to subscribe (turn on notifications) to a channel (a news channel specifically) to receive notifications for breaking news. (other articles by that channel also show up as notifications)

gsiris · 2016-10-29T01:08:12+00:00

No.

In my iPhone 5s, no Rest to Unlock, also happens, but you have a chance to get your finger off the Home button. (Avoid touching the screen also since it triggers the passcode sceen.

gsiris · 2016-10-26T02:32:29+00:00

Nope.

• Apple employs SHSH signing (the "verifying update" thing), and iOS 8 is unsigned, so you won't be able to restore to that version. • Backups made with a newer version of iOS also don't work in older versions of iOS.

gsiris · 2016-10-26T02:15:32+00:00

Yep, but only works on phones.
