Also wouldn’t this be directing a ton of money to google? (or I guess any other ad provider)

While good for privacy, this sounds like an awful UX change for the average person. Some sort of nice toggle to disable it would be good, but removing it all together would probably annoy more people than it benefits.

You’re still using itunes and not apple music?

Cloudflare isn’t the best at blocking things. As long as your crawler isn’t horribly misconfigured you shouldn’t have much issues.

No, the police will show up at your door on October 11th and arrest you on the spot.

If you’re in the US you’ll be sent to El Salvador. If you’re anywhere else you’ll be sent to the US, receive a few tattoos, then El Salvador.

Or look at it the other way: they hate Linux so much they’d rather deal with that than deal with Linux.

… they already have your emails. Not only that, but just about everything else they could possibly want to know about you.

Unless you plan on moving to a more private provider I wouldn’t worry about that.

Any time I want to watch my emails I just go to the web ui for it. I doubt any 3rd party client will ever come close to what google and Microsoft offer for their own email accounts.

On Windows or Linux? I don’t have this issue on either my desktop or my laptop, nor do I know of anyone else with that problem.

Secure boot has been a requirement for like 10+ years now. I think windows 8 was when they required it on all new computers. You could turn it off if you really wanted and I think it would still work, but why would you? Linux has played well with it for almost as long.

Bazzite is based on Fedora, so you can install a package in a “Fedora toolbox” (that is an image of Fedora made specifically for distrobox)

Does this work for stuff that’s looking for deeper kernelish level access? I gave up on bazzite because I couldn’t figure out how to get some system monitoring program to work

It doesn’t take much of a CPU to run the base windows. Without Windows unloading stuff it uses less than 4 gigs of ram.

If the device is capable of running remotely modern games it’s capable of running them on windows just fine. Microsofts garbage doesn’t actually use that much resources vs a modern full fat linux distro.

Because windows 10 for arm sucked big balls, and anything else before it was even worse.

The pi 5 is a lot more powerful than you’d expect. At least when cooled properly.

I wouldn’t expect a great experience, but as the article says: Older games (like 10-15 years ago) and web games should work ok.

This is definitely more of a because you can, than a primary computing experience.

I have one HDD that survived 20+ years, and an aliexpress SSD that died in 6 months. Therefore all SSDs are garbage!!!

That’s also the only SSD I’ve ever had fail on me and I’ve had them since 2011. In that same time I’ve had probably 4 HDDs fail on me. Even then I know to use data from companies like backblaze that have infinitely more drives than I have.

For servers physical space is also a huge concern. 2.5” drives cap out at like 6tb I think, while you can easily find an 8tb 2.5” SSD anywhere. We have 16tb drives in one of our servers at work and they weren’t even that expensive. (Relatively)

In stock, but not at the right price. MSRP is $250. The cards I’m seeing are $350 and up.

For $250 it’s a good card. For $350 not so much.

It should still be better. Or at least cheaper.

… what?

DSC is lossless compression.
