Might bot be what you want to hear, but I prefer the older one. The yellow, the lower quality gives me a kinda seedy but comfortable vibe, the new one is more clinical.

I have a windows VM for Adobe products, etc. Works fine for my usecase. If you need full GPU Acceleration (e.g. for Premiere), it gets a bit more complicated, but is doable still, as long as you have an iGPU or second GPU.

cloudflarestatus.com, seems to be hosted on AWS. Probably just got hammered because there was suddenly a lot of people caring about CFs status.

Custom Roms like Graphene, Calyx are the answer. And there are quite a few finance apps that do work, look it up for the ones you actually need before switching.

Compared to the Pixel / Pixel Pro, the Performance difference is pretty much nil because they’re all on the same SoC.

Not really a drop-in replacement for video meetings. For that, Jitsi would be more sensible.

I do get it, and I could have phrased it differently. My point mostly is, it is often painted as an insurmountable problem for adoption, and while that might be true for a lot of users, there’s also a large number of user for who it isn’t.

Also, for me personally, I’d rather switch banks than use a phone with a stock rom, but I know most people don’t view things that way.

I know several banks who’s apps don’t need Google Attestation. I would also not use a bank that forces an app as the main point of contact as my main one. A lot of banks around here offer a tan-device as an alternative. There’s also a lot of transport associations that offer nationally valid chip-cards.

I do see why it’s a problem, but I also don’t think that one should let such services dictate their choice of mobile device. I do know that I come from a privileged position, living in a country where I have options.

I honestly don’t get why everyone is so hung up on banking apps. I run Graphene, and my bank’s app actually does work, but I wouldn’t really have a problem if it didn’t. They have a website that is pretty usable, and I don’t need an app to use my payment cards.

Sure, Graphene OS tries it’s best to limit Apps, but if you don’t trust an App, you just shouldn’t run it, no matter the OS.

I worked as a bike courier in my first semester, for a bit. Drove past there so many times.

Hackerbrücke? Anyway, nice photo.

It makes them less worthwhile. But we can definitely agree that jellyfin’s security issues are also bad, and should be fixed.

On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, the point here was more that the centralised design of Plex that necessitates an online account which might hold some private data makes such issues much worse, not that jellyfin’s issued should not be fixed.

Maybe? Like, I’d very much prefer they fix them, even though they do not impact my use case.

I have a server on AM4 that is running fine, but the 16Gigs of ram are getting tight and I might need 32. All other aspects of the system are completely sufficient. Why should I get a new CPU and board?

Yeah, but you can run jellyfin with local accounts, entirely within a VPN. Pretty much makes most security issues irrelevant.

Probably applies to most used Laptops right now. Also, I have some thinkpad nostalgia, but the similar skus from other manufacturers will also do, though they put course have the same problem.

Generally, you of course always need to research the specific hardware. Also, my current one is on 8th gen, still does the job for now.

I’d buy a macbook, but it’s a lot more expensive than my “throw Linux on a used corporate thinkpad” approach, and I can tolerate macOS, but don’t love it. If you’re in the market for a new premium laptop, I think they’re pretty established, and I do think people are buying them.

Ampere workstations are cool, but in a price range where most customers are probably corporate, and they’ll mostly buy what they know works. I think their offerings are mostly niche for engineers who do dev work with stuff that will run on arm servers.

I’d say non-corporate arm adoption will grow when there’s more affordable new and used options from mainstream manufacturers. Most people won’t go for an expensive niche option, and probably don’t care about architecture. Most Apple machines probably sell because they’re Apple machines, not because of the chip inside.

I don’t know exact numbers, but I do feel that arm server adoption isn’t going to badly, especially with new web servers.

They also own Politico and Insider/Business Insider. Feel like too few people are aware of that.
