At the end of the day... Cloud storage is just using someone else's computer.

Agreed. Although I will say.... While people not reading the articles was extremely common on reddit... Sadly, I feel like Lemmy is even worse about it.

Damn... 8 years? I made it almost two years with tumbleweed on my work laptop.

I like mixing it up, trying different diatros and various programs. After awhile, a fresh install just feels nice...

Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so...

Maybe they all do this...? Admittedly I've not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose... So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.

I picked up an Epson eco tank printer for my wife a couple years ago, and it's been fantastic! My wife, being a kindergarten teacher has a knack for absolutely killing printers... And this little Epson has been a work horse!!! I have nothing but good things to say about it!
