What's an example of an X11 program you're having troubles with? I just tested this with Wireshark and rest of the desktop. In fact, there is a built-in shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R which start…

This tool takes care of multiple page PDF. You edit one page at a time but you can edit multiple pages of a PDF just fine and save it altogether. Essentially, the only difference from a purpose built …

> potential That's the keyword here. It looks dangerous to some, but evidently, no one's hurt yet, driver or pedestrain. And we're talking 60K people with FSD Beta as of Jan (perhaps…
comment
I'm in full support of people pointing out issues with tech (not so much with the press writing 10 page articles based on a tweet though). I'm also understanding of Tesla's position. We…
