Figured I'd do the math on the power required.

In the article, they show a iPhone 15 Pro, which has a 3274 mAh battery, so let's go with that. Assuming a 3.7 V battery and a 1 minute charging time, that's 3274 mAh × 3.7 V / 1 min ≈ 727 W.

Something with OpenWRT. Turris Omnia is pretty good.

Motorola and Nokia have phones with 3.5mm jack, and they come with pretty clean Android, without a bunch of bloat, aggressive task killers and whatnot. Though I can't speak for camera, photosphere or repairability.

Pixels are good in some ways, but of course, those don't come with a 3.5mm jack.

Speaking of which, nowadays KDE hides files with these extensions for some reason

Maybe if you use a file system that supports compression, e.g. btrfs, bcachefs, F2FS, squashfs, or EROFS. Of course, you'd need to add a separate FAT32 EFI System Partition for the bootloader, not sure how to do that.

A310 is the cheapest.

I wonder how well it does for transcoding on older computers without ReBAR, since apparently gaming on it is straight out broken without ReBAR. As in, it would actually freeze for a second or so every now and then.

The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they're making a 4G version.

Where is that mentioned? I can't find that in the article

That doesn't say that. Although the article linked from there does, for Pixels.

And thanks to specialized Pixel hardware, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro owners will also be able to find their devices if they’re powered off or the battery is dead.

Why do you feel the need to install an app for a coffee shop?

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software (www.pcgamer.com)

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times.....

But then you also need to cover your face

The GDPR has nothing to do with copyright

Didn't they already have that?

Another alternative then would be Restic. That's what I'm using for backups

All the easy options like from Amazon are DRM encumbered. But the DRM-free options are still available if you are willing to search a bit.

Are they? Where (other than piracy)? A lot of books seems to be sold exclusively with DRM from what I can tell. Some are even exclusive to Amazon.

This is an extra service they don’t have to offer.

No, they could let you use someone else's service instead, but they've chosen to block that.

you can back it up to your computer as well

According to the article you literally can't

Although based on the comments there, the article may be wrong on that point

So another site that makes it look like the article ends in order to inject some completely unrelated clickbait video in the middle

No, they have to convince everyone they talk to to enable the setting to be able to use this

And the conditions are still better than what the collective agreements would require?

It's too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren't being posted on Steam.

And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it's not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it's running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.

Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.

I know, you can set the native version up outside of Steam, (and they'll probably be superior if it's a source port). It would still be nice if the version Steam gave you was a native Linux version.

This is very outdated.

  • Catalyst doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
  • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
  • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
  • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they've replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they're doing the Arc stuff.
  • I don't know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well
