Great, now I can stop renaming it on business PCs

Might look edgy or funny to some, but at the least isn't professional and is offensive to many.

Gimp / retard / spaz

Yes, also say something is "GIMPed" if it's broken or disabled/restricted in some way.

It's a DIY electronics marketplace, went offline for "routine maintenance" as has been offline for 4 days and counting ...

Why is the glass so fragile ? I'm sure they used to have a bottom metal frame

There was a serious move/fork to call it GLIMPSE a while back, but it got abandoned. https://itsfoss.com/gimp-fork-glimpse/

The name is a bigger problem than many think IMO

I personally always rename the launch icon on machines just because so many people comment on seeing GIMP on the desktop or menu.

Yeah, have a tech mate ready to step in, like a "porn buddy" https://youtube.com/shorts/kgu3PzpKhn4

Because a link like that is lazy and sarcastic, a bit like posting a lmgfy link

Oh, sorry we're base 22

Found that on day one, pretty sure it's even in the instructions not to put the sensor somewhere you'll put pressure on.

I use it for the Kindle app on my surface pro3 to read magazines.

Kindle unlimited gives free access to magazines, but only on kindle android app NOT on kindle web or Linux.

Ventoy for most, but some stuff doesn't work with correctly when booted from ventoy:

  • ChromeOS Flex won't install to internal drive when ventoy booted, it will when flashed directly to a usb.

  • also had Linux Mint 22 try to install to the ventoy drive (wiping it and then crashing halfway through)

  • and dealing with really old 32bit bios laptops you'll have to use direct usb too (AntiX still supports 32bit)
