No reason to do that, as long as stuff goes over the table it will stay that way

Dolphin on KDE/Linux and WinSCP on Windows

Contend6248 ,

It's not useless for brainless users sadly

Contend6248 ,

It surely does, but i'm not sure if you can switch to side-by-side view

Contend6248 ,

Ever used software of car manufacturers? Turns out limiting themselves to the case radio is enough.

Contend6248 ,

If you check it and run it through a course and a decent one year guarantee, you should be fine.
If it doesn't fail then it won't fail for quite some time.

Just make sure to put it in some RAID or parity

I just swapped my >10 year old WD Reds with refurbished used drives at 1/3 of the price, just because i need more space, these things last if you take some care.

Fuck me, that's the only thing i miss coming from Plex, include it, we've waited too long for it anyways, no one would mind.

That's especially discouraging for the devs putting in the work bringing hard to implement features

Contend6248 ,

Not on Android TV, i was hoping for a 1st party implementation

Politics going for worthless easy quick wins instead of lasting changes for the better has a history of it's own.

Contend6248 ,

First GDPR now this, they don't give one fuck and try to cash out

Contend6248 ,

Only because we don't have any tech giants, we've slept on it so we get the money this way and try to slow down others until we figure shit out.

You can see that we don't care about consumer that much in markets we're strong.

It's just lobbyism

Contend6248 ,

Yes, if only the rest of the world would be so selfless.

Checkmate, amiright.

Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data (www.theverge.com)

Avast, the cybersecurity software company, is facing a $16.5 million fine after it was caught storing and selling customer information without their consent. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the fine on Thursday and said that it’s banning Avast from selling user data for advertising purposes.

A great business model actually

A good example would be Yuzu (the Switch emulator), it was open source and collected so much telemetry that Nintendo might go after their users.

This might be fear tactic but it shows you that you aren't safe

Contend6248 ,

Hack the planet?! Finally.

My guess is that Microsoft will notify the users often enough, that's something we don't know in the smartphone space, we'll see what happens

Contend6248 ,

So 5-10 years after Windows EOL

Contend6248 ,

Yes, the majority of people are content creator or playing multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat and know the difference between 4k and 720p.

Don't overestimate the bubble

Everything moves to browser based, by that time, the OS won't matter, Microsoft realized that too.

Contend6248 ,

You don't have to go all in, use Steam for purchased games, and use the already created Lutris templates on everything else.

Proton-QT is for updating Proton used by Lutris.

Contend6248 ,

You could easily make it modular, that would've cost a dollar more, so that won't happen.

Contend6248 ,

By that time they're far gone, just a cashgrab

Contend6248 ,

There are couple of ways, not buying the content for example.
DRM is for paying customers.

Contend6248 ,

I for one enjoy salty Microsoft tears, just makes me feel better with my choice completely ditching them.

Keep 'em coming.

Contend6248 ,

See you next update 🎉

Contend6248 ,

It wasn't directed to you, it is directed to people constantly crying about their choice

I'm wondering the same, the people thinking about what they share are a small minority.

This was always the case when it finally got mainstream and it only got worse from there.

Contend6248 ,

You gotta start somewhere, just give her a chance, we'll see if she fucks up or not

Contend6248 ,

That's the default answer by fanboys, being able to afford something and being stupid enough to do it are two different things.

Contend6248 ,

Anything beside the own domain is unprofessional, if you run a business.

As an individual i think it speaks for yourself as caring about the environment and privacy.

Contend6248 ,

Is it broke if no one is able to fix it?

The reason for it to run on such an ancient device is because nobody wants to touch the scripts running on these devices.

Contend6248 ,

Also bureaucracy is through the roof in everything, i have no idea who the fuck thinks of germany as efficient.

Contend6248 ,

Just make it from scratch?

For sure there is so much useless shit in there, that's why nobody gets their head around it anymore.

Contend6248 ,

Running two systems simultaneously for a couple of days, that's a huge problem, not solvable

Contend6248 ,

Ok, keep it for the next 100 years and get custom build hardware which can run that stuff, that's cheap and safe.

Never touch anything

Contend6248 ,

A VPN from someone i've heard for the first time?

Count me in!!

Contend6248 ,

It's not only interests of the chinese government, they HAVE to oblige legally if they are asked to.
So even if the company has the best intentions, the government overrules.

And don't make that a chinese bad guy argument, as if western companies aren't doing the same, they just don't do that officially, which one is shadier is yours to decide.

All you can do as a company or anyone is to stop harvesting data and don't plant blackboxes/backdoors in customers systems

Contend6248 ,

Vanguard is being bypassed as well, but users have now a compromised system to the lowest level possible.

So that isn't the solution, i would somewhat understand it if no one is able to cheat anymore, but as long as there are hacks available you can give up on kernel level anti-cheat.
