That’s only for the webcam. Arch has working drivers for it as well. And in the end this is only temporary, until Intel gets drivers for these webcams in the kernel source. Work is being done on them, so it’s a matter of time.

At least on the 13 plus they support the LTS versions of Ubuntu. 20.04 and 22.04 at the moment. Basically any distro will work, just the alder webcam needs specific drivers that are not generally available.

Yes, the fingerprint reader on the 13 plus (9320) works fine.

I have a 13 plus (9320). Everything works in any distro, except for the webcam. Dell provides drivers for it for ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, and only for the default kernels it comes with. You can also get it working on arch.

Work is being done on these alder lake webcams, but there still is no support for them in the kernel at the moment.

I run mine in ubuntu with a newer kernel. And use my phone with droidcam as a webcam as a work-a-round. The newer kernels run better for battery life etc. I still have the default kernel installed, so I can reboot and use that, when I really need the built in cam.

They don’t even have an airtag on those things?

Oh, that sounds like an interesting idea. Currently stuck with teams at work. Screen sharing does work under wayland. But definitely going to try this.

Yes US is very different in that aspect. I live in the Netherlands. Most people here have an app from their bank, with which you basically can do all your banking with. For payments between people, you can simply create a payment request in your banking app, and send a link to it via text, whatsapp, whatever. When clicking the link it will open the receivers own banking app with which the transfer can be me. Just the bank accounts, and amounts are already preset. It’s very easy to use, works with every bank, and everybody just uses the app from their own bank with all it’s safety measures.

Personally I hardly ever use cash anymore. Just tapping your phone to pay is so much more convenient. Also keeping track of where you spend your money is easier.

Out here we used to have atm machines everywhere. Their number has declined greatly though. They are still around, you will usually have to check a map if you’re in place where you don’t know their locations. Cash usage has definitely declined a lot these last year.

That being said, I think getting rid of cash completely is a bad idea. Cash certainly has it’s usage / advantages.

It also seems to differ from country to country by the way. For example Germany, still uses cash a lot more than we do here.

You can just download the firefox tarball from their own site. And that will just update itself.

Well, we have these devices with smaller screens these days. And people really want to use them for browsing the web as well.

At the moment €30/month. But this was a deal for a couple of months. Regular price is €45/month. This is T-Mobile btw. When combine it with a cellular plan. They give a discount of €5/month on the fiber and €2,50/month on the cellular plan.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, I can choose between several gigabit providers. Symmetrical on fiber or asymmetrical on cable. I’ve been on gigabit fibre for a couple of years.

ext4 is perfectly fine for my needs. It’s stable and just works.

Right now in firefox on a laptop. But I mainly use the Connect app. And will definately check out Sync when it releases.

Lemmy sync would be a better name though.

Same here. Mainly using connect. Also have jerboa and liftoff installed.

I’ll likely switch to sync when there is a functional release, that was my goto reddit app.
