I feel dirty suggesting this, but you can install Edge on Linux to improve the web apps.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft officially recommends a new PC and OneDrive to update to Windows 11English
5·1 year agoYeah. 11th gen Framework 13, so one of the first ones. Since I got it I had to use Windows exclusively because of some client work, and battery life was pitiful. 2-3 hours perhaps? Once that project finished I swapped out the SSD and put on Ubuntu with KDE. I was expecting the batter life to be worse, but it is demonstrably better. I now get more like 6 hours, albeit with my power plan on efficiency.

261·1 year agoSwitching from Windows to Linux on my Framework laptop makes my battery last 2-3 times as long. They should just have a switch to Linux recommendation to reduce your carbon footprint.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple couldn’t tell fake iPhones from real ones, lost $2.5M to scammersEnglish
1681·1 year ago“These counterfeit phones, Cohen said, were either out of warranty or contained counterfeit parts, but Apple “wrongly” believed that they were real phones under real warranties”
So not counterfeit. Just real iPhones that were out of warranty or has been repaired by a third party.

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025English
6·1 year agoI just went cold turkey because I can’t/won’t watch content with ads, and already felt the cost of our streaming services was too much for what we get out of it.
What I’ve found myself doing is if I do buy from Amazon and it’s below the free shipping amount, I try and buy from a marketplace seller who ships themselves for free. Often this ends up matching the Prime price, but it’s buried further down the result because it doesn’t have Prime shipping. Or I buy the same product via eBay, which is mostly cheaper. But main thing is, I’ve found I just buy less. Like A LOT less. As a family we’d often get 3 or 4 Amazon deliveries a week. That’s not been replaced with orders from other retailers. It’s almost as if having Prime encourages you to buy stuff you maybe don’t need!

26·1 year agoI unsubscribed in January and still have too much stuff to watch. Although that is helped by being in the UK and having iPlayer I guess. I’ve also spent way less on impulse buying crap because of the free shipping. Absolutely do not miss Prime.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
12·2 years agoAldi UK beans aren’t as good as they used to be. I think they changed about 6 months ago. That said, they are still decent and my beans of choice.
What? I mean, they were young when they did all the good stuff. Black Francis was 14 when he wrote Hear Comes Your Man. There is a Brixton Academy video from 1991 on YouTube and two or three 1989 shows too. Forget about the newer shows! I saw them live in 2004 and 2005 and they were still great, but those earlier shows are where it’s at.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts on bots and people posting only news articles on lemmy?
102·2 years agoI hate it. Some communities just fill up my feed with links to news articles with zero (or zero quality) comments. I either unsubscribe from these communities, or block the poster. In some cases they are so frequent, and with images that are effectively advertising. That and the zero comments, they just remind me of Reddit ads. I don’t think you can hope to build a community by drowning out any discussion with a flood of posts from news sites. If you’re the mod of a community with so little interaction, then you should be curating content and adding comments yourself.


I don’t use Fedora so I’m going to be one of those annoying people and not answer your question. However, I found the official UI to be awful and glitchy on Linux. I use Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and imported a few different Proton OpenVPN country configs into network manager and they work great. It’s possible to import wireguard config also, but IIRC there was a bit of fiddling with that.
