According to https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en you should be able to use Shift + Super + Page Up/Down to move application windows between workspaces, seems to work for me.

So for your example start Terminal, then maximize it (Super + Up Key), then move the application window to another workspace (Shift + Super + Page Up/Down).

Perhaps just uninstalling Nouveau and falling back to the Intel driver, if it's already installed, is sufficient? Or if that doesn't work, worst case OP could blacklist Nouveau and and update initramfs? I'm just guessing as long as the Nvidia driver is never actually active perhaps that's enough to avoid excess power consumption.

OTOH there isn't much harm in OP keeping Nouveau enabled and seeing how things go though I'm in agreement with you, on an older laptop there's not much advantage to be gained with the older Nvidia hardware.

All the loaded torrents in a torrent client already get stored somewhere in the torrent client's own settings folders. e.g. if you look in qBittorrent's settings folders you'll find a folder full of .torrent files representing every single torrent currently in the torrent client.

So if it's a torrent I'm going to leave loaded in the torrent client then no, there's no reason to save a second copy of the .torrent file. But I guess if it's a torrent I'm not going to load in the torrent client, or will remove it from there, then maybe it's worth saving depending how you do things.

I’m undecided. I figure if I save them and back them up to an offline/offsite device, then I can (mostly/hopefully) recover from hardware failure by simply re-adding all the torrent files to my favorite client.

It would be better just to back up your entire torrent client settings folders, you'll save all the .torrent files along with the save folders and other information you have in the torrent client.

Was MakeMKV ever claimed to be open source?

Not sure if it's exactly what you want but I've used MKVtoolnix in the past for .mkv operations, worked fine for me. And ffmpeg also works great for general audio/video stuff though I've never tried bluray -> .mkv with it.

That's interesting, apparently it was mentioned on github but nothing seems to have changed in the end

https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/3784

Haven't used that software in a long time but maybe there's an opt-out somewhere during runtime? Although I don't see why a user needs to be required to opt out of nonsense like this when just writing firmware to a USB disk.

Only ever touched balenaEtcher when some project or distro recommended it. Overall prefer Rufus for this sort of thing when working on Windows.

In August, Canoo moved its headquarters from Torrance, Calif., to Justin, Texas — asking 137 of the office’s 194 employees to relocate, while cutting the remaining staff.

Yikes, not great for all those employees that moved their entire lives out to TX just to get laid off. They weren't even working in TX long enough to qualify for unemployment. Hopefully they were getting paid enough to deal with relocation and maybe have enough saved up to get the hell out of TX after this.

Maybe you meant Reddit admins?

Reddit moderators don't have access to IP addresses nor have the ability to ban someone based on an IP address.

That's some low effort spam, no wonder even Reddit's default spam filter caught it and that mod had to manually approve it. Back when I was helping mod on Reddit we used to see that sort of discord link spam nearly every day. Just spam/removed it & moved on.

The sad thing is that r/Piracy mod likely got scammed himself. Besides that mod who would really believe a scammer is going to send $800 via PayPal of all things? Most likely some sort of scam/hacked account, the payment will be reversed and that mod's PayPal account may get locked/banned in the process.

I have a 13 series chip, it had some reproducible crashing issues that so far have subsided by downclocking it.

From the article:

the company confirmed a patch is coming in mid-August that should address the “root cause” of exposure to elevated voltage. But if your 13th or 14th Gen Intel Core processor is already crashing, that patch apparently won’t fix it.

Citing unnamed sources, Tom’s Hardware reports that any degradation of the processor is irreversible, and an Intel spokesperson did not deny that when we asked.

If your CPU is already crashing then that's it, game over. The upcoming patch cannot fix it. You've got to figure out if you can do a warranty replacement or continue to live with workarounds like you're doing now.

Their retail boxed CPUs usually have a 3(?) year warranty so for a 13th gen CPU you may be midway or at the tail end of that warranty period. If it's OEM, etc. it could be a 1 year warranty aka Intel isn't doing anything about it unless a class action suit forces them :/

The whole situation sucks and honestly seems a bit crazy that Intel hasn't already issued a recall or dealt with this earlier.

Same here.

Interestingly back when myself & others were moderating subs on Reddit, & we locked the subs during the protests, the majority of PMs us mods would receive were from randoms that found a link via Google or wherever & were trying to view the post. It did make me wonder how often people browse Reddit just because they stumbled into a link via Google or whatever search engine.

I can't see how Reddit would survive without the big search engines, without those random visitors the ad revenue would plummet.

Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.

Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you'd need to check the individual projects to be sure.
