You could assume 1080p or higher for desktops, but 1366x768 and 1440x900 are still fairly common on laptops. Not everyone is running brand new hardware. Many people put Linux on their old laptops so they can continue using them. Higher resolutions screens with display scaling are also common on laptops.
I use rsync to transfer files between my VPS and computer. Don't torrent on Oracle Cloud without a VPN, they will terminate your account.
Did you install the libdvdcss package? It's needed to crack the encryption and may not be installed by default due to legal issues.
Torrents are more reliable too. Every block gets its checksum verified automatically. If there is any corruption, the block will be downloaded again. With a direct download, you have to verify the checksum yourself and if it's corrupted, you have to download the entire ISO again.
That works 99% of the time. I've run across a couple that refuse to extract, so I had to run them in a VM and copy the files over.
Just add another digit and watch the entire country break down because they can't find someone to update their 40+ year old software written in COBOL.
You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.
Discord keeps getting used for things it shouldn't be used for like tech support. I will be glad when it dies. Don't hide your support behind a platform that can't be searched from the web. It's not a replacement for forums and issue trackers.
Touch screens should not be used for any controls needed to operate a car. You can't use them without taking your eyes off the road.
Why the hell does a vending machine need a facial recognition camera to "activate the purchasing interface"?
There should just be a set of buttons to select what you want and a window so you can see what items are available.
