Wow! Did you know you can run Linux on modern hardware? It's faster that way, and doesn't change the amount of telemetry reported.

- hgsgm 4y agoModern hardware isn't much faster.
- htag 4y ago2023 hardware is much faster than 2014 hardware.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoSo much so that 2023 laptops often trounce 2014 desktops, with a fraction of the power budget and cooling capacity. It was true that power stagnated for a long time but it's finally back on the upturn.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoModern hardware has backdoors that can't be disabled.
- michaelmrose 4y agoIs there any proof that such potential backdoors are practical and not theoretical? Have you considered non x86 hardware. If you were made of money for example Talos II or other more reasonable priced options?
- oneplane 4y agoSo does older hardware, nothing was gained here.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoWhy? They all still accomplish what I need them to.
- LarryMullins 4y agoFor a given task, newer computers are more efficient than old computers. My 20 watt Intel NUC easily fills a role that I used to fill with a 200 watt surplus PC. Whether or not an upgrade for efficiency is worth it is subjective though.
