  1. I can sign in from my Linux PC, using the Brave browser, with no problems, except ... that bl**dy Captcha thing! Most times, the images are so bad that it takes several attempts to get it to work. I have found that sometimes, not always, if instead of logging in using the normal method, I link to an email that I have been sent that confirms the status of a previous order, the Captcha seems to be bypassed. I don't normally use their phone app - just hate doing things on a small screen. However, if you want to collect free delivery tokens, etc, you have no choice in the matter.
  2. Chicken feet not on the list? I would have scored 1. As it is, I scored a big fat zero!
  3. I will but don't hold your breath. New laptop is going to be a birthday present - not until late next month. Watch this space.
  4. I tried ChatGPT - told me 'maybe'. I think it should be OK so I'll probably risk it. Now, just need to visit the money tree.
  5. Thanks for that. I know that Dell are supposed to be OK with Linux so something like an XPS15 is a possibility that I'll look at. Lenovo, at one time, used to be good for Linux but, allegedly, their IdeaPads now all come with Windows pre-installed and it is, allegedly, not possible to turn off secure boot so installing Linux may be impossible without flashing the BIOS/UEFI - if there is an updated BIOS available. Lenovo ThinkPads are probably mostly OK - certainly with Ubuntu so probably also with Mint but there doesn't seem to be any guarantee of full compatibility. There is a warning on the Lenovo website that pre-installed versions of Ubuntu may not work perfectly, or at all. Sounds worrying! The Lenovo site has a chat facility and I've used that - but still no definitive answer. I'll take a look at the links that you provided. Thanks again.
  6. It's time to replace my aging Lenovo IdeaPad laptop - been good for 10 years but is failing now. i like the idea of a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen5 but I'm having a problem finding out if this is compatible with Mint 22, 'Wilma". Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04. I've checked the Ubuntu compatibility list but the result was a bit vague, indicating that only OEM pre-installed 24.04 may work properly. So, anyone out there using this OS with a T14? Alternatively, any recommendations for a compatible laptop? Thanks.
  7. I have the same problem using Brave on Linux Mint on my PC. Just a bit annoying having to reset every time. Cookies are white-listed so that is not the cause of the problem.
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 74 seconds  
  9. Or, even better, i overate! Now feeling full.
  10. Use your 'imagination' if you have farctated.
  11. Precisely. Islamophobia is the irrational fear of Islam. I don't see anything irrational in being deeply concerned about the Islamic takeover of what is, fundamentally, a Christian nation.
  12. I've tolerated this for far too long. There is a limit you know.
