The feature is called "Visual Voicemail". Your carrier may support it, but if it's like mine they likely charge extra. iOS works around it by just answering the call and saving a recorded message.

It's carrier specific. Mine doesn't do that either. iPhones seem to be the only ones that force it. Otherwise I get to sit through the same dial-in voicemail service as ever.

Ah, I see where I got confused. Yeah, CGNAT isn't very common around here. I don't think I've ever run into an ISP that uses it. I can see how that complicates things.

You really don't though. I use wireguard myself under the same scenario without issue. You just need to use some form of dynamic DNS to mitigate the potentially changing IP. Even if you're using Tailscale you'll still need to have something running a service all the time anyways, so may as well skip the proxy.

Fingerprint sensors have been an interesting hurdle for Linux distros. Not one I necessarily would have anticipated either. The biggest question seems to come down to their security as well, given that there have been exposed flaws in the design of biometric hardware that tries to generalize its compatibility.

Microsoft has defined SDCP as a strong standard for TPM/Windows, but there isn't an equivalent for Linux. Match on chip sensors have made things a bit easier, but there isn't a standard way to communicate the validated authentication to the OS, usually relying on TLS.

I've been meaning to lol, but usually this happens when I need to do something and then I forget about it. I'll make a note to do that later.

Unfortunately not. They have everything capable of booting to at least something, but not everything is playable.

Since the beginning of last year. Gnome didn't have it at the time that I moved over, so it's a surprise to me that it does now.

I have a somewhat odd screen config and that doesn't always seem to maintain my display settings. The only way I've been able to get it to maintain screen position is by just re-enabling the output through kscreen-doctor.

Plasma ended up being my DE of choice a year ago. Native Wayland support, HDR and VRR, and general adherence to the same Windows paradigm for managing apps/desktop shortcuts made things easy. I don't think that design is wrong, and it's been plenty efficient. It was also the only DE at the time that seemed to be prioritizing matching Windows features where they were clearly strongest rather than trying to pretend Windows had nothing to boast about at all.

Now, if we could talk about letting me enable display outputs without using the terminal that would be greeeeaaaat.

You may want to look into a GROM audio subsystem. They work remarkably well. Buddy installed one in his 2004 Volvo and you'd never know it was there.

Apologies, I didn't mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they're definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences
