2·7 months agoThe lump sum payout for the $1.3 billion was $621 million. Lottery winnings are taxed as income putting the winner in the 37% federal tax bracket leaving $391.2 million. After taking out Oregon state taxes, the winner would be left with $329.8 million.
The after tax amount for an Oregon winner selecting the cash payout would be $329.8 million.
Check out the “Screen Rotate” gnome extension (by shyzus). It adds a button in the gnome quick settings menu that allows you to disable auto rotate, and has the option to add a button to manually switch between portrait or landscape rotation.

Why isn’t KDE Neon ever recommended? It seems like it would be a solid option.
Where did you buy it? Looking for something similar for myself.
Quite interesting. Thank you for the information!

Sure, people should not use their work computer for personal use.
However, I would say the majority of people absolutely do use it for occasional personal use. Checking your personal email at work? Googling driving directions to the dentist? Using the pdf editor to fill out a form? Searching for a flight during your lunch break? I would say everyone I see at work does this, and I would bet that when they take their laptop home they would not hesitate to boot it up for personal use. And the people working remotely I would wager use it even more.
I’m not saying it’s right, but I do think using a completely separate SSD and OS is way more responsible from a security perspective.
From a technical perspective I’m curious - how would they know a drive has been added without physically inspecting the laptop?
Thanks for the information. And good point - I will check to see if there’s any logs in the BIOS. Is there any way to know if boot logs are being sent? Is that a BIOS setting, or something that would be configured in Windows?

Check out your local library as well. Mine lets you print 2 pages for free each time you go in, and it’s super cheap to print more.
The feature I absolutely love on Opera mobile is it will dynamicly wrap text and adjust the page layout to a single column when you zoom in/out. So for pages with small text, you can zoom in to see enlarged text and just scroll down to read - where on all other browsers you have to scroll horizontally back and forth to read the enlarged text.
Opera has been doing this brilliantly for at least 10 years, and I have yet to see this on any other mobile browsers I’ve tried.
I hadn’t come across this when I was trying to get it to work with Wine. This looks promising - I’ll give it a try next time!
I haven’t had the laptop long enough to know what happens after updates. However, if Microsoft wants to reset any of the changes or reinstall software or features, they will regardless of what methods or tools you’ve used to debloat. I like this tool because it’s easy to run and can be done periodically (like after major updates) without much hassle. And it’s open source on GitHub which I very much appreciate.
