Quoting: TermyBut changing it an hoping no one will notice is bound to be perceived as deceptive and not taking the customer serious...
Indeed,

Imagine if ford changed one of their engines from a V8 to a straight 4 ! There would be hell to pay.

Whilst this is an extreme it's the same principal and should be be illegal without it being WELL publicized. Especially to those that have pre ordered.

Manage your Linux PC remotely as KDE Connect lands on iPhone and iPad

Quoting: CyborgZetaI have never, ever, gotten KDE Connect to work. The one thing "problem" I've had in my almost two years of Linux that I've never been able to solve. Sorry, just needed to rant a bit.
Weird. I just today for this article loaded it onto my iPhone. Loaded up KDE Connect on Fedora, paired them, started transferring files. It was blissfully easy.
Have been doing the same for donkeys years on mine, Although an android phone.

Assumed it was already on IOS TBH :huh:

Nifty fact when someone rings you whilst having spotify/YT or whatever it pauses it until you hang the phone up! Godsend at times .

Quoting: ripper81358have to unlock the phone while my PC is running, otherwise my phone isn't detected by KDE Connect. I don't know if this caused by Android or my Kubuntu system, but this issue is rendering KDE Connect useless for me.
This is because modern Amdroid versions stop the apps when the phone is off. You need to allow it to stay running. I forget what/where it is to do that.

Quoting: mihalycsabaSo is there any performance improvements on an AMD machine compared to a regular arch install?
I don't think so. If you really want to test, install Valve's kernel (neptune) to regular Arch.
Would that not be tuned for the SOC in the deck though ?
