But in the office, there could be a beefy workstation waiting for me. As long as we're not talking about floating workplace setups (which I'm no big fan of) or cutting costs, I still don't see the upside.

I just don't see the appeal of this. I still need a screen and a keyboard to use it in desktop mode. Then I can just bring a laptop. My data is in the cloud and my settings sync - so the only way this could be "better" is tha

But then federated services operate on the level of a single subreddit, not that of reddit. That's fine, but they will never replace social networks (which unfortunately means we'll have to live with big corps running those).

The absolutely do. I'm sure there are feuding subreddits about the same topic. But reddit as a platform allows them both (because it's their business interest), so with one account you can see both.

Came here to write this. What a bad headline. And it makes it sound like Flipper Zero is unintentionally doing something wrong here.

I don't mean this personal, but I find it very very hard to deal with people like you in professional contexts. You focus on a 0.01% problem and make an absolute statement ("in every sense, password managers are a really bad, bad

Funny, the moment they showed the vision health feature, I immediately thought they'd come back to that later to tell us that computing using a headset is in fact better for the eyes (because of the lenses that shift the focal distance

I'd happily pay 5€ per month for YouTube premium just to get rid of the ads, but (at least in Germany) you also get YouTube music, so it's 16€. I don't understand this pricing at all. They're excluding all potential cust

It would be easier for me to move to a different country than to stop using services or devices of the large corporations.

Not at all directed at you, but I find it funny that this stance is often taken by people who would be outright offended if you replaced „Apple“ by „the state“ in statements like this.

That phone is quite thick. For the same height, one could add a slide-out keyboard case to a normal smartphone. However, such a thing does not seem to exist (anymore, according to my quick google image search)...

I have a 2015 iMac too and it runs fine with opencore legacy patcher on Ventura. I don’t complain that Apple did drip support for this machine in their newest os, but I complain that so much of their software comes only with the latest os.

This is something that’s so obvious that it baffles me that there’s so much discussion about it: Just as all user supplied input, user supplied input which ran through a LLM is still untrusted from the system’s point of view. So if actions

I don't understand this argument. Have you tried running a website with an open comment section in the last 10 years? Every corner of the internet is already stuffed with low-qualtity spam. Does it really matter if the spam quality get

This is very much the opposite of the advice I would give: Keep it simple and rely on proven methods, keeping in mind what might go wrong and how to fix it. Just because you don't have to care for kernel updates or broken disks does no

Is there any source for this that is not a YouTube video? Last week I tried to unlock my old iPhone SE to use it as a data logger, but I forgot the passcode. At least I thought so because the device wouldn’t unlock. Am I affected by this or
