I think you may have misunderstood your issue. 16 GB is more than is needed on / for a typical desktop Ubuntu installation. For example, here is a partial output of df -h on my Ubuntu 22.04 system- this is a server but it has a full desktop environment installed. I actually originally put 20.04 on it when that was current so it has accumulated some cruft. I also remove snaps:

The thing you’re most likely running into is that whilst everyone quickly realises the advantages of putting /home on a separate partition, it’s not so obvious that /var should be on a separate partition as well. This is because /var is where all the logs and caches are stored, and if you have a runaway process that fills up /var/log, it can cause the system to crash. Experienced Linux users will have encountered situations where /var was not on a separate partition and their box broke because of logs not being cycled…

I realise that you may be saying that you have 16GB total for 2 x installations. That is going it a bit but should be possible with some thought and care. Good luck!

Op as others has commented already, percussion instruments certainly do have a pitch. For a very obvious example of a well known tune, check this video from 5 minutes 30 seconds of Phil Collins performing in the air tonight. It’s very obvious that he’s got his drums tuned so that he can play a melody.

not to worry!

It’s very mass market, not particularly well informed general news source and this is a specialist community where this is relevant to its specialist field

Thank you

Thanks, further information could be interesting. Do you know if it requests connectivity on every startup?

Because it’s not principally about privacy. I don’t want adverts or forced changes to the product I purchased made after sale.

Not sure what you mean by “seek access through open wifi”

Stuff like this

My reason for stipulating that is that lot of people saying it do so either from ignorance (they simply don’t believe/understand that you might not be able to opt out) or on the basis of outdated information, e.g. “I bought my TV ten years ago and never had to do this”. Your experience being in the recent past I guess I could try this as a sale stipulation point, thanks.

Thanks, don’t need touch and the price is a bit on the heavy side

Great! Could you link a 60" monitor?

Thanks, neither of these seem to go over 43"

I’m guessing those aren’t as big and you have to buy them by the hundred

Thanks!. Two posters suggesting I try here so I’ll try that first and maybe this forum if not because what I want to ask about is a TV so not audio!

Side note for non UK Lemmings: Pickfords are still going

OP you have some strange ideas. You think it’s better for workers to wait for their money? Why? If this were me and I wanted to paid at the end of the month I could just pay into a savings account daily and collect interest.

Yes daily pay is associated with casual work, like labouring. Some people struggle to turn up for work reliably. At least with this they get paid when they do. Better than zero hours contracts.

You should celebrate with some upside down cake

Err Windows xp launched in October 2001, not the 90’s. The ‘successor’ version, Vista, launched in 2007, really only for home use. Windows 7, the successor for schools, offices etc, released 2009.

It’s fine at work. Frankly it’s a problem socially: everyone wants to judge- if you earn more then they resent it, if you earn less, they sneer at you, if you earn ‘about the same’ then people want to calculate how you spend your money and criticise something about that.

The OpenBSD project maintains portable versions of many subsystems as packages for other operating systems. Because of the project’s preferred BSD license, which allows binary redistributions without the source code, many components are reused in proprietary and corporate-sponsored software projects. The firewall code in Apple’s macOS is based on OpenBSD’s PF firewall code,[6] Android’s Bionic C standard library is based on OpenBSD code,[7] LLVM uses OpenBSD’s regular expression library,[8] and Windows 10 uses OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) with LibreSSL.[9]
