How does the image scanning compare to docker scout? (Or whatever the docket desktop one is called).

Ubuntu pro joke related to another thread - not the best image post sorry 🙈

Do feel it is designed to scare normal users though.

Like how the GUI software updater now shows a list of security updates, and then “there are more security updates available with Ubuntu pro” in the list of updates…. the obvious implication is “you’re computer has other known vulnerabilities that can only be fixed if you pay up”.

Liiittlle bit ransomey and let be honest that’s by design.

Wouldn’t consider myself part of the anti canonical pitchfork crowd but that new behaviour did irk me somewhat.

If Microsoft did that people would be up in arms. Appreciate canonical provide Ubuntu is free but normal users wouldn’t get that nuance as they don’t think they pay for windows.

For those also wondering (and I’m quoting a comment on Ars so may stand corrected…):

Isn’t this a violation of the Geneva Conventions?

Only if used to deliberately target infantry. The videoed operations so far seem to have been intended to burn away protective cover (trees/brush), which is a permitted use even if there’s a risk of inflicting casualties as a side effect of the application of incendiaries.

Hyped for this.

Appreciate it’s not the same thing, but still feel like it will scratch the same itch that fallout does, without having to suffer that janky Bethesda engine (even its latest incarnation for starfield was annoying!).

Plus a nice looking colourful environment for a change instead of the standard post apocalyptic browngrey.

Awesome that they’ve done this but it’s still a lot of steps.

I’ve heard there are cracked versions pre-packaged so it would be good if one of the retailers could release something similar given the popularity.

Agree they’ve being easing their way in for a while. My point was specifically about advertising within the content itself which would be a new line crossed.

Content advertising isn’t “on brand” for Apple, so this would be a bold move.

Said it before and I’ll say it again - one of the most underrated games ever!

Plays really well but as one reviewer put it, it gets old after 20 hours or so.

That said, the early access bit is done well in that the content that is there works pretty well, and you can see placeholder for the other features being worked on.

Like right now it’s maybe like 25% of the full game, but that 25% works well and you can clearly see what’s coming.

I’m so glad you posted this - my integrated fridge door has dropped slightly after being taken off and put back on when installed. Can’t really screw back into mdf/chipboard/whatever and I’ve been stressing about getting it fixed for months because whilst it’ll get worse over time, it technically works and no doubt the fitter would say I need to take the whole thing out and replace the side panel.

Thank you!

You could get “smart flood detectors” cheap on amazon that use smart life. They make a sound (not the loudest tbf) and trigger notifications on your phone via the app.

Maybe not the greatest for privacy but might start the trail…

That thumbnail tho 🤤

To be honest it wouldn’t even let me download it off a vpn, on a different OS that hadn’t connected to a vpn, or in a different browser.

Had to find somewhere other than the Microsoft site to get one.

Is this… unexpected?

Genuine question.

I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!

I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.
