Somewhat tangential, but I wonder where do people using their own domain draw the line. I personally use a "stable" firstname@lastname.com for supposedly trusted, long-term services (e.g. bank, utilities, etc.) and for services th

I think the online version of Microsoft Office is not as feature-complete as the offline one. That, and performance is surely worse on large documents.

This is the case where I would have used PDF. Didn't employers accept that?

I own an Epson EcoTank ET-2650. Despite costing more than traditional inkjet printers, I find that build quality is not that great (cheap creaking plastic, scanner bed occasionally detatching from its hinge). Another issue I have with it is

There was a giveaway of a Tuxedo laptop[1]. Whoever wanted to participate had to comment on the video announcing the giveaway, which apparently goes against YouTube's TOS (as far as I can tell comments count affects YouTube's algo

Apparently it depends on the hardware. And by that I don't mean whether you have a powerful CPU/GPU combination. If you're lucky, it's smooth as butter. Personally I'm in the unlucky group (i3-6100U + HD 520). Work

Your best bets are GrapheneOS or CalyxOS. In both cases be prepared to sacrifice a lot in terms of convenience (more with GrapheneOS).

Also, I think it would have been a matter of time before some researcher analyzing network traffic would have discovered something.

I agree, but I would say the situation is not so good elsewhere. See my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28135648

No, but (at least in my country) most banks have used the PSD2 directive as a way to phase out HW tokens and force their proprietary apps to customers. But PSD2 does not really say this is required to comply. The only alternative they offer

Beside the Dell XPS Developer Edition (that you already mentioned) I would consider the following: - Lenovo laptops with Fedora preinstalled[1] - Clevo and its HW customers: System76 and Tuxedo being the most notable ones (I think) - Purism

GrapheneOS sucks for normies, first of all because it lacks GApps, which is essential for many popular apps nowadays. One example to rule them all? Most banking apps refuse to start if you don't have GApps (i.e. SafetyNet). And no, mic

I'm wondering the same. I suppose they will have to implement some way to scan the emails, or else they will be forced out of business. That said, I wouldn't bet on it.
