Yes good analogy. Just my guess. Been a long time since I actually worked in the field.

There are various designs of backlights. They typically have a stack of loose components in an assembly. By loose I mean not totally fixed but not too free. They have to free float enought that temperature changes do not cause issues. They also have to not stick, warp, or buckle over time. Harder to engineer then you might think.

So consider what might happen if for example the top backlight film might buckle some then stick to the back of the lcd. The film might deform which would change its optical properties. Then later thermal cycling might cause release. It might do same elsewhere.

Not saying this is mechanism, but just example.

Edit: Keep in mind the LCD is glass, and the backlight components are plastic. Very different thermal expansion coefficients. Then add LED or CCFL lighting and you have a big changing heat source. Add on top of that humidity changes too.

Backlight I think. Probably film pack warp / buckle / wetout. Just a guess.

Edit: Worst part looks kind of like a wrinkle.

Sounds to me like the backlight behind the LCD. They have components which could potentially sag, stick, or warp. White screen is probably best way to see. Also look at various angles. May be more visible at some angles then others.

Hard to unsee. I know this feeling. I used to work in the industry years ago. Displays are never perfect and hard to unsee things once you see them especially when it was part of your job.

See the edit to my comment. If not sharp, could be warping of films in backlight.

That is an interesting one. LCDs as far as I know do not usually burn in and if it is moving then it is not really that anyway.

I will interested what others come up with?

Edit: Is sharp or gradual. Might be warping of films in the backlight for example if not sharp. Just a thought.

If you have never used a password on windows or some other authentication mechanism then your Windows is not very secure.

Most of the differences you quote are pretty much the same both systems.

I guess the one exception is the UAC prompt which on Linux is a bit more secure in that is requires a password. Some random person or app cannot just click through it.

There was a time when I looked at LCD screens I saw all the defects.

One of:

• Thank you and if good learn somthing. Asquestions.

• I know, if I know this.

• I do not want to hear it, if it is repetative garbage.

There are so many good providers in the EU. In the US basically those that implement MTA-STS are Google, Microsoft, and Comcast with all of their issues.

I actually ended up at shared hosting provider. I get 30 mailboxes for less than $100 per year. Only incoming MTA-STS though unless I went to my own VPS.

I like Joplin, but it is a note taker not an office suite. So kind of depends on what you want.

You can just use LibreOffice. On Android the app I have is Collabora. The server I use is Nextcloud though it could be anything that LibreOffice and Collabora can work with. I think there is also some sort of web version too of LibreOffice, but I’ve never tried it. Maybe called “LibreOffice Online”?

That is interesting. You can do that by the command line. Basically run cryptsetup to map the encrypted partition, then run mount. Those commands could also be place in a bash script too. You may need sudo access to run cryptsetup. You will need sudo access for mount unless you configure it as user mountable and not auto mounted in fstab.

You also want script to umount it and unmap it with cryptsetup when done.

Graphically, maybe the Disks gnome tool can do.

You could ask duck.ai too then verify the commands with the man command so you know what they do.

Edit: Also crypttab and fstab are documented in man too as are cryptsetup, mount, and umount.

Edit: Good to not fully trust ai.

Generally what you do is to define the key and mapping of the second drive in /etc/crypttab usually referencing a file with the key. The root patrition which typically contains /etc is typically unlocked with a password you supply.

You can manually map the partions with cryptsetup and then mount them with mount.

VLC maybe.

Ubuntu though I am less liking the snap dependence. I would avoid atomic distros for now. They are just the latest fad. Not saying bad though.

Anyone who is not cautious in choosing a partner for the next 60 or 70 years is nuts. This is probably the most important decision you will ever make. We are almost 30 years in and it is great but it was not easy to find someone. Not sure it is comittment exactly. More finding someone that wants a long term partner and that you both like each other and can stand each other over the long run and are heading in a similar direction in this complex world. Lot of people do not seem to know the difference between lust and love too.

By the way, the president does not decide policy. That is congress in the US. The president administers policy. So the number one thing is follow rhe constitution and the law and the spirit of the law. Sadly thw current administration cannot even meet this low bar.
