I had a similar issue with Mint on my Latitude 7480, ended up using Fedora where everything just seems to work.

Best advice I can suggest is always use a live USB because if something doesn't work there it won't after install either.

We had Latitude 7480s which also didn't support Windows 11.

I purchased my old one for a steal and it's now running fedora quite happily.

One businesses loss has been my gain.

For Huawei , if that's the case why did US not target all Chinese manufacturers and only the one that, at the time, was becoming the most technologically competitive one.

As for EV the argument regarding takeover as a wartime industry whilst maybe true not it still smacks of US protectionist practice rather than a genuine security fear.

They did the same to Huawei and lots followed. This has nothing to do with security and all to do with preventing China's leap ahead of US as a global economic technology powerhouse

If I even tried to plug a USB into my laptop security would be down on top of me like a ton of the proverbial .... the same way that the only true way to be secure is don't plug into the internet the only way not to piss off corporate is don't f*ck with their stuff.

One of the many reasons I won't buy Samsung.

Apple may think they're complying with the letter of the law but I suspect the EU will feel they're falling far far short of the moral of the law.

Yes , the same way almost every other browser does. My tablet is my desktop replacement I don't want a bloated phone browser I would like a desktop experience.

All these new features, I'm sure are great.

But when, oh when, will Mozilla start supporting tabbed browsing for tables and foldable devices.

It's the one thing stopping me from swtitching.

Probably because the brown envelope wasn't think enough.

I'm sure for the right "incentive" they'll happily cooperate.

Good to hear, I've not had any issues so far. The only "niggle" I've had is when pairing my Bluetooth devices I've needed to turn Bluetooth on and off for each pairing bit once done they've reconnected fine.
