One of the following:

  • Ignore, do nothing.
  • Fast forward. An ad break is around 15 min so sometimes we start watching a program late so we can fast forward ads later.
  • Change channel. Sometimes half the ad breaks are at the end of the program so by changing channel you don't lose anything lol.

iOS has auto update for a while and iOS users update their devices more often than Android. 2 weeks is not a long time for adoption of new version for iOS.

If you still have time & energy to troubleshoot you can create posts for your issues. ChatGPT may give incorrect advice.

I switched because my OS drive was HDD and Win10 was slow & unstable. The background tasks of Win put heavy load on the PC because I didn't have an SSD. Linux was also slow but a bit more bearable, plus it was stable. Did an SSD upgrade years later.

Rest of the system should work with iGPU, if you aren't interested in heavy gaming you can use Linux just fine.

Here is the past network setup:

  • Main Router (192.168.1.2) -> Ethernet Switch -> Multiple Ethernet cables connected to wall
  • Wall -> Second Router (192.168.1.1)
  • Wall -> PC

After a blackout we thought the switch was no longer working so we replaced it with another router. The problem is the router has too few ports, not every room gets ethernet. The ethernet switch works in this configuration:

  • Main Router -> Third Router (Wi-Fi disabled) -> Ethernet cable connected to wall -> Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either of these configurations PC detects network but cannot reach 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 or WWW:
  • Main Router -> Ethernet Switch -> PC
  • Main Router -> Ethernet Switch -> Ethernet cable connected to wall -> Wall -> PC

Windows reports "Unidentified network", Linux tries to connect for a minute then fails. I knwo the PC isn't bad because other devices also fail to connect. Even if I set up a static IP I cannot reach a local IP. 2nd router has IP address 192.168.1.1 because it refuses to use anything else, first router is assigned different IP so these two don't conflict.

Update: For testing I removed router 2, (the one I use as an extender / wireless AP) set router 1's IP address to 192.168.1.1. I tried connecting Router 1 to Router 3 (with DHCP disabled) and Router 3 (used as a switch) to PC via cables. It worked. Then I replaced Router 3 with the switch, network detected but no Internet. So even with the simplest possible setup and one DHCP server I had no network. My original problem was Router 3 had too few ports and not all rooms got Ethernet access. Router 3 is above Router 1 and connects to cables coming out from the wall that provide Ethernet to rooms. I recalled that WAN cable of Router 1 is too short so I cannot lift it to connect to cables, turns out that's not the case. So I lifted Router 1 and I could connect a cable to provide Ethernet for one more room which is what I needed. Routers 1 are 3 are held mid air with Ethernet cables. I previously mentioned that the switch works if it is connected to a wall plug in a room and it still works that way. Anyways here is the final setup:

 

My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.

 
  1. Download Firefox Nightly 115. The latest version has crackling audio. (118 at the time of writing) Here is a download link for aarch64: link
  2. Launch FF, tap 3 dots, settings, About Firefox Nightly, hammer the Firefox logo until debug options are enabled.
  3. In settings go to Customisation, set dark mode. Spotify doesn't support light mode so this will make it look nicer.
  4. In the address bar type about:config and hit the "+" icon.
  5. Set these parameters for new value:
  • Name: general.useragent.override
  • Type: String
  • Value: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

This step is necessary if you want to make a web app, otherwise you can use "request desktop website" option.

  1. In about:config, set this value to 1.0: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
  2. Go to open.spotify.com and log in. You may need to change your device's orientation.
  3. Find the ideal value for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. You can use float values like 1.22 and values lower than 1. Larger values will make everything bigger but the interface may not fit or the website may crash, smaller values will make everything tiny.
  4. Hit 3 dots and tap "Install".

Here is how it looks like on my phone: https://imgur.com/a/CpiheUT
