Ahhh, bluetooth works well, was just streaming from a Mint 18 laptop to a cheap Ebay dongle without a hitch, bluetooth audio is not an issue any more, care to provide details?
Trust us with your key escrow, we will keep it in the safest system... we swear.....
Seriously, how on earth can they be trusted with key escrow when they cannot keep their systems safe
Ditto except with the s5, the (original but replaceable) battery is still lasting 3 days after 2 1/2 years. CM 14.1 has just been released for it as well.
Why would we want to actually learn something about the tools that we use, instead lets put another black box IOT thing that i don't know how to administer on the network, we can trust all of our security and personal data to a 3rd party, why wouldn't we?/s
Microsoft want to nickel and dime you and everyone, they are just setting up the infrastructure for it now, very soon EVERYTHING will be a UWP and will only be distributed via the Microsoft store.
I want to call it the ApplSoft model.
No one is under the age old "Mac" ideology that the linux is not vulnerable to OS virus's, just that at this stage there is a lot less attacking it.
As with anything this will rise as linux gains traction, as did with mac's.
It is about not being railroaded into some companies business plan and being able to make your own decision about how to use your own hardware!.
I currently use DAVdroid https://davdroid.bitfire.at/ (also available on F-Droid).
Has been great for a long time, handles the contact and calendar syncing for my phone and tab.
If you add 1 line to the owncloud authentication you can also have "auto configuration" using an email address for the domain, saves a lot of time for my friends when setting up new devices.
So not...it is not.
I assume you are using some form of laser of bubble jet to do that printing, while it is attached to some fancy electrical thinger like a laptop or desktop (What are those now a days right?), running software that acts as a system to operate it....
Does it cost the same to do it in half dimes or shillings?
This is just another example of why company's should be legally required to be honest, it is straight up lying like this that makes it hard to convince non-tech people to shift services as they already "know" what is going on.
I have setup a private server for email, file/calendar syncing for friends that have cracked their phones and not put play store back on.
Works a treat, easy to maintain. and i have duplicated most of the services Google would offer using open source software, never has the barrier been lower to running your own private server.
It is the same in Australia, so many "Average Joe plumbing" small business's have a joeplumbing@bigpond.com (Bigpong/(H/T)elstra being one of the largest providers here) for their main business email address, to bad if you move somewhere that they don't provide service or even worse... shop around for a better ISP deal, na, customer loyalty FTW.
Like you and many other windows users, you have not experienced any issues with your hardware, which is fantastic news. keep doing exactly what is working for you.
Like me and many other linux users, i have not experienced any issues with my hardware, which is also fantastic news
The only problem i have is when windows users go on about drivers being the issue with using linux, it is not the minefield a lot of windows users believe it is.
If your going to come up with a reason, at least use a legit one, like... say gaming, that's a very good reason to use windows, linux does not have the support from AAA's yet.
I don't believe you are a shill, liar or moron from your response, just someone who honestly believes and trusts the tools they use every day.
Use the right tools for the job, and if it doesn't to it right customise it!
Yeah sure, you may have a device that does not work, happens to all OS's.
Are we ignoring the windows updates that are constantly resetting/removing software and settings, how about all the issues eith siunds cards and webcams after the annerversary update? oh and let's forget about all the hardware that now won't work with windows cause of a lack of driver signing... Please tell me how these are good for you as a user

Er ok, the last update was June 23, 2017, version 52.2.1.
How is that unsupported?

You do have other options, there is always linux.
You don't need Microsoft's permission or blessing to do that!

While i agree with you on the boycott i can bet you that there are very few people who are sorry that they have converted.
Why would we want to actually learn something about the tools that we use, instead lets put another black box IOT thing that i don't know how to administer on the network, we can trust all of our security and personal data to a 3rd party, why wouldn't we? /s
With our history of smart devices being secure. /s
We are doing things right.

That would be a great solution, can imagine it would be reliable.
Personally i want to take as many third parties out of the equation.

Simple. Friends don't let friends use apple.
So not...it is not.
