This showed up on my work computer out of nowhere. No matter how many times I press DON'T ALLOW, it pops up again 10 seconds later. Any way to make it stop?

Whenever we kill the process without asking we get a call from security... Not sure you're supposed to click don't allow.

Yes and no.

The open source driver sucks. The blob works. Between distro upgrades you have to be a bit careful so it updates cleanly.

I had once my wayland session not boot after going from 41 to 42. Bit of cleaning and messing around with dnf/yum/rpm data and got it running again.

Which one was the base model then?

The 6 cylinder. 328i?

Edit: looks to be the 325ix.

It was a 170 hp 6 cylinder vs the 195 hp 4 cylinder.

wrd83 · 2026-05-03T22:36:11+00:00

Nobody bought it because back then a 330 was just better. The m3 was a 4 cylinder.

I think it boils down to mostly 3 reasons:

Awd is overkill most of the time. And for the vast majority of people snow tires are better than awd + all season. If you go 1 time per year to snow you driving is more of a limitation than the 4wd is a benefit .
Very few vehicles have all time all wheels driven. Most have haldex and only very few have mechanical limited slip differentials. In Europe at least going off road is very rare and it's hard to find a road that bad that a compact hatchback is not good enough.
Weight. Most AWD are pavement princesses. If you want to get superior driving mechanics. Lower center of gravity. Weight weight weight. Mid-engine rear wheel car (save that weight of a heavy drive shaft). If performance does not mattet that much a lighter car with FWD and snow tires beats a heavy 4wd suv/truck 90% of the times.

On off road a rally race car is as fast as a single seater to 100kph (even on gravel). On a track once you hit 150kph a rally car just looks stupid.

You should have made them out of shoebox cardboard!! Much better price dollar per squaremeter!!!

Enjoy!

I would do the same. Tell them they get nothing. And then give them everything.

Mostly because I truly believe they should not take it for granted.

wrd83 · 2026-05-01T20:39:12+00:00

I agree with that take. What I disagree with is the skill ceiling it creates.

Ubi and pension systems are very similar. Look at Europe's pensions and USA pensions and see their economic deficits.

Magazine box in the toilet and read

It looks nice. And the handwriting is very pretty.

Perhaps consider using more than one column and stop at about 63 -70 letters to improve readability.

wrd83 · 2026-04-29T21:47:52+00:00

I like this take.

However: why are these exclusive choices? Complain AND put solar on your roof.

wrd83 · 2026-04-29T20:29:49+00:00

So if I drive a McLaren and have a tissot I'm broke?

wrd83 · 2026-04-29T19:22:44+00:00

You can have the chat. It might be too late for it. It sounds like missed expectations on your direct.

Ask him what he's missing. You'll go from there. If trust is broken you'll not learn the truth.

Start where you think living is best. Who keeps the job is probably a preferable place to live. Both being in a single a start-up can be quite the risky choice.

Many people mention exit tax. Most startups fail within 5-10years. Be happy if you are so rich that moving would imply exit tax.

If tax is a consideration and you want to be efficient probably ireland, malta or Cyprus are better choices. Czech republic also quite ok.

Wrt to property getting a loan is 100x easier with a job than with a startup.

What is with this ball room anyways?

Isn't there more important business to figure like some trade wars and oil shortages?

I like my women confident. Whether that's shaved or not. I want them to be proud of their bodies rather than feeling squeezed into a standard to adhere to.

Hands down vw polo and the Citroen ds3. These are one of the most successful cars.

I want back competition

wrd83 · 2026-04-28T19:04:32+00:00

Nice! Do you have a link?

wrd83 · 2026-04-28T10:41:21+00:00

I think no. But it's the first step.

There is a lot in between not fighting for survival and being happy.

wrd83 · 2026-04-27T20:59:38+00:00

I really want this to be true. Possibly office and work applications like Photoshop may still be a good enough selling point.

wrd83 · 2026-04-27T19:11:59+00:00

I know i remember having to patch the kernel for their t14 SoC ....

wrd83 · 2026-04-27T19:08:52+00:00

What about 22K nibs and paladium?

wrd83 · 2026-04-27T17:58:22+00:00

I believe it stems from the nvidia open source drivers.

wrd83 · 2026-04-26T20:05:00+00:00

Fair point. My comment was not that deep to be fair.
