I feel the specs are fine for the use case that the device is aimed at (media consumption, some office usage)… you know, the things that a huge chunk of the population use a device for… if that doesn’t suit, there are more powerful options.

I don’t think it is productive arguing that an ultra cheap/low end device isn’t powerful enough, or specced high enough for activities/use cases that it wasn’t designed for.

ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

Does Elon lose any sleep over his products killing people… I wonder how many deaths are attributed to Tesla self driving, electric door handles not opening in a crash etc?

Just make it an extension so I can choose to bog my machine down with that shit

This is the way I do it

Yeah, my daughter broke it to me. I remember my friends (back in the day) telling me the problems they were having getting their kids off it and I hadn’t heard much since… apparently one of my daughters friends is waiting for a catwoman skin to come back

Fortnite has certainly showed them! They won in Australia, and their game that hardly anyone plays anymore is should be the shackles in 5 more years or so. Edit: my daughter reckons people still play it

I don’t really see the problem with having the password manager in the cloud if it is protected by 2FA. I tried vaultwarden (self hosted) about a year ago and the showstopper was that I couldn’t store a new password when off LAN or without first connecting the VPN. I am sure there are on demand vpn type services, but it was clunky. It would have been great it if would work locally on the phone then sync the password to the vault when it came back online

I got proxmox setup pretty easy and I am running Plex in an lxc, and docker in another. In docker, I use paperless NGx for electronic document storage

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever… gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

trying to come up with new places to shove AI

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

No one believes this stuff anymore, right? Google combines 3 teams to focus on making the Play Store more profitable… something something developers

They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead

Sure, but it would be illogical to think that a company with seemingly unlimited resources would get fined, and then introduce new that didn’t exactly comply with what was required… I mean, I would think they are working with the EU to ensure it is within a millimeter of what they are allowed. It seems you just don’t like it.

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

I can’t remember if the word at the time was that they were trying to stop the calls from affecting performance or they wanted the juicy data all for themselves
