Or the ever classic: launch one version behind the current Android version. Provide security update once a year and then taut that it’s aon OS update.

Samsung A9+ goes on sale for about $150 every once in a while.

Kids FireHD tablets are generally lower than that. There’s not really any difference between the adult and kids version tbh.

Windows laptops generally get trashy battery life, and if this going to tank it further, I’d just run Linux full-time on my family laptop and call it a day.

The only reason we had windows was my wife’s comfortability and sometimes zoom glitches out on linux.

You can import a whole bunch of stuff, but it’s upto each state to decide if they’ll allow you to use it on road.

Absolutely, my toddler had MRSA within a few days after he was born and its most likely due to some contamination or something to the effect.

Hospitals are a severe breeding grounds for resistant bacterial strains via sewage.

Absolutely. My wife flew to her parent place with our toddler and I dont have any idea on what to watch.

All I’m watching is nursery rhymes since they’re catchy as all hell.

ThinkPad T450s (my old laptop)

OS: Arch Linux DE: Plasma

Services: Arr stack for gluetun, sonarr, radar and jackets Jellyfin for videos Gonic for audio

All 3 of them are run using docker compose

This has the same energy as my spouse yelling at me because jellyfin went down

Not really an open-source approach, but I found that irium Webcam is generally a lot better if you’re just wanting to use your phone as one.

For some reason scrcpy just doesn’t work well for me.

The issue is that gor some reason nobody speaks in total cost of buying a car, not the car dealers not the banking institutions. They all talk about monthly payments and for some reason people can’t do basic math that $1000 for 60 months is a huge fucking amount.

I don’t even care about other features. The tiling home screen of the OS was really nice to use and when used properly by the apps could result in a “live” OS unlike the iconographic interfaces of iOS and Android. The homescreen was also old-age friendly and really a pleasure to use.

The OS ram like really smooth on 512mb RAM, unlike their counterpart android phones which were struggling back then with 2-3GB RAM.

The lumias themselves had a ton of useful features like tap to wake etc, which didn’t consume much battery and in general the Nokia cameras were top notch for the time.

Basically, the OS got killed because of a chicken and egg problem with the apps, and the OS being from Microsoft, got a death knell because of the reputation. Also for some fucking reason, Microsoft decided that the already low userbase WP7s were to be depreciated rather than provide an upgrade path fo WP8 and WP10.

If you have to ask the question, then the answer is always NO

I use gonic with sonixd on my laptops, but probably might move to supersonic from sonixd.

On my phone, Tempo is really awesome!

Unable to read the paywalled article, but ROCm is like Nvidia’s CUDA for their GOUs. These used to be supported on and off for consumer GPUs, but get aupported mostly only for datacenter ones. Linux used to be supported, but they are bringing ROCm to windows as well.

Probably AMD is planning to improve support for consumer GPUs, since their GPUs are competitive to Nvidia’s at a lower price point, given that local LLMs, Image generation and other AIs are in a kind of a booming trend.

Currently, Nvidia has CUDA which is more or less the industry standard, so AMD with their ROCm and Intel with their OpenVino etc are trying to chip away at the monopoly.

Not sure if this would be useful, but my university uses ThinLinc. We can use the desktop and other stuff in the browser.

While I really get what you’re saying, the unfortunate situation is that they are always a secondary fiddle to money

I’d love to have a compact list option as well!

Just saw this post a few minutes back and downloaded it.

Not sure if its my phone (samsung s22+) or something, but comments keep dropping and I need to reopen the post for the comments to show up.

I’ve started forwarding the calls to Google voice or if i accidentally pick the call, i use bixby’s auto answer.

Either eay the call drops in a hot second.

Boost gives me so much joy to use.
