As pointed out in other replies I don't think you're doing a good job to connect bank fraud to sideloading here, and therefore I don't really believe that they are so directly connected. But for the sake of discussion I can a

Is that the central question? Most people using Android or Apple's very own macOS today use their device as if they're in the second situation with not a care in the world. Anyone's walled garden experience isn't meaning

This looks like one of those home server infrastructure setup rabbit holes I would've bailed out of within the first 10 minutes of Googling to research the problem. I commend the author for their perseverance and the writeup - rabbit

You seem to think that your phone's pin is used directly as some sort of encryption key for cloud backups, but that's not how these systems work. Your pin or face or fingerprint unlocks your phone's secure element, and the se

It's a shame Duplicati runs quite poorly (I have the same experience). I moved to restic with the autorestic wrapper and configured notifications through another method for both failures and successful backups. That second option works

Well it's about perspective I guess. I understand the expectations for a home console, but especially between 2016 and 2019 Digital Foundry kept gushing about what kind of graphics the Switch enabled specifically on a handheld. Handhel

The parent comment isn't wrong, but it's referring to piracy. The Wii U has been blown wide open such that tools exist that allow you to pirate games by downloading them directly from Nintendo's servers, essentially giving yo

They wouldn't even need to overhaul iPadOS! All they'd need to do is allow Parallels, VMWare or other folks to make virtualization software for the iPad, and people could just run Linux on it (or - gasp! - macOS). The M1 and M2 Ma

This argument keeps on popping up, but I don't really understand why. Apple themselves already have a platform that's had a reputation of reliability and "just works" that is not a walled garden in most of the ways the

Agreed. I switched from an iPhone to a Pixel because the iPhone experience is claustrophobic (admittedly I switched from Android to iPhone before that for the much better and lengthy software Apple gives). If this means the iPhone is gettin

Yeah I'm not saying that many cores aren't useful for workstation workloads, but nearly everyone still shouldn't buy these for their primary workstation. If you specifically need to run a lot of VMs or run massively parallel

Hey just because it's harder to rationalize nowadays doesn't make it any less fun to do. Especially if you can get a good deal, go for it!

Not sure if I understand the question, but yeah it's all about single thread performance. Around 2017 or so, old server processors had decent single core performance and very good multithreaded performance for workstation workloads com

by DCKing 4y ago
It is really outdated. In 2017 buying old Xeons bought you pretty good performance for the buck, as Intel sold you quad cores with minor single core and multicore uplifts for a lot of money, while at the same time old Westmere or Sandy Brid

Red Hat is certainly replacing something , but I need some help to see the implication that Wayland the display protocol is a complete replacement for X11 in that snippet. Part of the problem in the conversation, as I state in the senten

It's fair to point out problems in the general project and philosophy, but I think that's a different conversation. The discussion at hand points to general compatibility problems that have never been promised. Even if Wayland had

by DCKing 4y ago
It's a weird strawman to say that Wayland's problem is that it's not a 1:1 replacement for Xorg. I don't think the author understands what Wayland is or what it intends to do, and it's sad that they didn't let

I suppose my comment is more about a culture shift rather than a technical suggestion, one supported by UEFI+ACPI :) Mainline Linux boots on pretty much all x86 hardware without needing explicit device trees, because the hardware is autodet

I've started looking more at thin clients to take roles of small servers that people go to Raspberry Pis for. Small cheap Intel Atom based thin clients usually don't even outperform the Raspberry Pi 4 in either peak performance or

I wonder at what point, if ever, the economics of ARM chip makers [1] starts to work in favor of ARM chips supporting full UEFI and ACPI for hardware initialization like x86 boxes do. I may be mistaken, but I thought some more "enterpr

This is an urban legend. It ticks all the boxes of people who are inclined to be paranoid about these sort of things (I realize saying that may come across as a value judgment: it isn't), so it remains a popular meme. But the "bas

Graphics cards that can output 5K60 over a single DisplayPort cable out of the box have been available since mid 2016. If anything, availability of HiDPI PC monitors has gone down since then.

by DCKing 5y ago
I've been searching for those, but they're unobtanium even second hand. I suppose no-one wants to get rid of these monitors once they have them, because there's no replacements you can buy.

Iiyama [1], Dell [2] and LG used a 27" 5K iMac display for a little while, but as production at Apple wound down you can no longer really buy those in most places. [1]: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12568/iiy

I like this announcement, because it means that there's a manufacturing line for proper HiDPI [1] displays running in some LG factory somewhere that third party manufactures like LG/Dell/Iiyama can hopefully use to give us so

I really like Podman, and I'm happy to see this new release. This little nugget about non-released features makes me most excited though: > More features, including support for volume mounts from the host, are planned for Podman v4.

That usefulness of the Docker daemon has actually been acknowledged by the Podman project. That's the "socket" they're talking about in this blog. If you run `sudo systemctl start podman.socket` on your Podman 3.0+ &

Well, it's all fine if it works for you, but there's no doubt that both Gtk and Wayland do not support fractional scaling at all: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4345 . > System P
