Maybe for some models? IDK I haven't seen one but I've noticed there is a much smaller selection of matte protectors in general vs glossy.

I don't think there's any reason they can't.

It does though. Installing a matte screen protector was one of the very first things I did after I got it.

Put a matte screen protector on my iPad a few years ago to cut down on the glare and that was it, everything had to be that way from then on.

Downside is you do lose some image crispness but it's so very worth it for the huge reduction in glare.

Also matte protectors aren't nearly as popular so there's a lot smaller selection to chose from.

Mint (MATE). It's preconfigured closest to what I want, with just a couple tweeks I can do whatever I need with utilities and a GUI I'm familiar with.

If Its a headless machine Ubuntu or Debian. Again familiar with both can do whatever on both without having to relearn low to build a wheel.

Primarily a windows user but I do use Linux for some applications.

Probably a full overlap with people that have fully functional keyboards.

I finally gave up and just set a wireless keyboard on top of the built in keyboard.

So how do you combat that if even their family dying around them isn't enough to get them to even consider those people on tv might have lied to them?

Sometimes I wonder what they would do if you could make endless perfect copies of objects like you can mp3s.

Dududdo you wouldn't copy a car. You wouldn't copy a cheeseburger Copying is a crime.

Like remember it's only been recently that it became possible to make endless copies of media at effectively no cost.

Hey covid will still kill you even if you call it a hoax.
Rep: you God damn liberals are ruining this county Several family members die
Rep: they died of pneumonia not covid covid is a hoax and a Chinese bioweapon.

Like I can't tell that they actually give a fuck about reality anymore even when they can directly see it killing them they still deny it.

Genuine games being sold with cracks to remove the DRM instead of recompiling it without the DRM because the DRM doesn't work on modern machines and they can't be arsed to recompile and actually fix anything so even they resort to piracy.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

Voting by mail as usual.

Trying to avoid customers that can't shut up about how wonderful trump is.

Well she did win the popular by several million but it's not like anyone actually cared what the people wanted.

The miles and miles of empty dirt's vote was way more important for some reason.

Glow in the dark tape on the front and back of my phone and on the tips of the chargers to make them easier to find in the dark.

For the same reason my phone case is the brightest colored one I could find.

I had to get some clear heat shrink tubing to put over the charging cable ends to hold the tape in place otherwise it unravels after a few days use.

Sure they make lit USB cables but not in 20ft+

I'd really have preferred to have a bright solid glow in the dark phone case but for whatever reason barring I have one 3d printed (which will then not have the same protection of a normal cheap rubberized case) there isn't anything like that available.

Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn't get leaded gas until the 1920s

Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?

Or testing food for lead more stringently?

Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.
