I have to have Windows, a VM at least, for reasons.
A nameless install, decrapified with [Chris Titus’ decrapifier, installer and streamliner script]((christitus.com/windows-tool/) is actually decent

Is waterfox compatible with all or most firefox extensions? Also, can you import a firefox profile, and share between devices? I’m fairly invested in firefox, and would hate loosing functionality
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 2 weeks ago:
They dont have to renege on anything. Just create a new variant, an let the original stsgnate. 5 years is an eternity in tech, so if an app is not updated in 5 years, it will be pretty useless.

Meanwhile, Spain, the second largest country by surface in Europe has completely phased out copper lines in 24. Yes I realize that the distances are a lot smaller than the US, but it’s not like talking about the Netherlands. You are guaranteed fiber in bumfuck La Mancha.

- Comment on Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan 4 months ago:
I’m going to guess that an old mid or full size tower could fit a modern GPU. With a bit of dremelling on the back you cold probably make it work. My son has been mulling such a mod.

- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 4 months ago:
I’m not a rabid anti-nuclear, but there are somethings that are often left out of the pricing. One is the exorbitant price of storage of spent fuel although I seem to remember that there is some nuclear tech that can use nuclear waste as at least part of it’s fuel (Molten salt? Pebble? maybe an expert can chime in). There is also the human greed factor. Fukushima happened because they built the walls to the highest recorded tsunami in the area, to save on concrete. A lot of civil engineering projects have a 150% overprovision over the worst case calculations. Fukushima? just for the worst case recorded, moronic corporate greed. The human factor tends to be the biggest danger here.
- Comment on D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models 4 months ago:
I do SMB support. I recently replaced one at a customer , essentially because it didn’t support larger disks. Also because it was slow as fuck. replacing a 10 year plus device doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
That said, I don’t like Dlink.

You are probably talking about toner (dry black powder).
- Comment on Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges 6 months ago:
I have a basic Brother monochrome laser for high volume. I can buy a compatible cartridge for 9€. An Epson A3+ (tabloid) inkjet for color and photos, not a real photo printer, only 4 inks. Compatible inks cost less than 3€.
A great option is to buy auto reset refillable carts, and refill with genuine epson eco tank ink, super cheap, and guarantees Epson quality
