I always wanted a Nokia communicator 9110 now that was a sexy device. I don’t like Chrome accents on devices, so that’s why I wouldn’t want that.

Yeah, but it doesn’t look nearly as cool :)

Oh mine totally would. They’d try to get me behind bars for opening their can 5 minutes too late.

OMG they are sooo adorable!

What the actual… Saying that killing children is bad makes you an antisemite. Got it.

Great write up! As for wired headphones I can wholeheartedly recommend the KZ EDC Pro. Very reasonable price and they have removable cables with both a 3.5mm jack and USB C Cable. KZ are great value for money - I’m not affiliated with them or anything.

very cool reference, i’ll be sure to bookmark it. great job!

Hakuna matata :) no need to get riled up. Use what you want, I use Linux and macOS at home and windows at work.

Fair point! In the end, everyone needs to use what works best for them. I do concede that I’m not really familiar with accessibility issues and I perceive the accessibility options to be lacking in the distros I know. Maybe it will change in the future and I hope it does :) thank you for your contribution!

Oh, I get that, it was more of a retro rival question because I read all those headlines about the shit Microsoft constantly tries to pull. I get comfortable and I’m sure there are some problems and growing pains but if you’re ready to get out of the comfort zone I think it is worth it.

I had the opposite issue where canon decided to stop supporting a scanner with incompatible drivers for windows 10. Linux and macOS were able to use it OOTB without me having to tinker with it. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

I’m not a lemming and am not shoving anything down anyone’s throat, but I guess people are apparently really triggered when someone merely brings it up.

Oh I also use windows on my work machine and not anywhere else. The enterprise version is not full of crap and doesn’t force AI down your throat.

I mean at this point why stick with Microsoft? I get needing a particular software only able to run in windows but other than that there’s really no need.

Looks really nice!

But for a little while the stockholders were happy. And that’s what counts.

I remember HP in its prime where they would make breakthrough technology and everything was nicely engineered and built to last. Their oscilloscopes and programmable power supplies were made like tanks. Their calculators still work today. Shame really.

It depends, but for me one use case is decoupling the end device from the application. We have laptops, desktops and phones in our household and rather than installing/updating every single one of them I have a central point for management, with all of the downsides of course (if the thing fails, it fails for all).

When I add a new machine to the network, every functionality an data is already there so I don’t need to copy or install anything everywhere.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden but I’ll check it out.

Luxottica is a greedy plague buying up reputable brands like rayban and Oakley , increasing the prices, making shit quality and riding what is left of the reputation to the ground in the name of the shareholders. Doesn’t help that they’re a quasi monopoly on frames…

There is Microsoft AI on WhatsApp???

Deutschland Deutschland über alles or something similar…
