Steam N-Gage

Well yes you should check if the specs on the product page say Bluetooth.

It’s not unrealistic if you don’t expect it to be watertight. They’ve already banned piracy and gambling sites here. It’s a simple DNS block and so only for people using their ISP’s DNS. It still works, way fewer people use the sites that are blocked.

You can run many Windows applications in Wine, but not everything works well.
Creative Cloud (PhotoShop et al) is one of those that usually doesn’t work well.
Here’s a list of Photoshop versions on WineDB with how well they work.

I used to think that too, but it’s so far only Google Messages and Apple iMessage? GSMA only added E2EE in RCS recently, Google is still using their own thing on top and Apple nothing yet. You have to be a member of GSMA to read the whole spec.

Aren’t those just ALPR camera’s? France has those too.
To have them without being a police state you need a short strict list of things cops are allowed to use them for. Like the article says basically.

I guess I’ve always just made the new passwords in Bitwarden and have it fill in the form rather than fill in the form and let Bitwarden save it. Do you not use generated passwords? Can’t help you on the offline thing, I see how that would be annoying.

Why doesn’t everyone just use a better manager like Lastpass or Bitwarden, it’s super easy to use.

Platforms that may want no affiliation but don’t censor enough (sometimes nothing, sometimes only reported actually illegal things) usually end up becoming nazi platforms. (see the punk bar parable)
I don’t think Odysee is as bad as Bitchute yet, but my hopes for it becoming good are zero.

I do get the appeal of things needing to work without internet, but it seems very broad as a category. People use webapps for things that used to be local, like Office 365 or Figma, or even searching in Google to do arithmetic, so the calculator app is offline first.

On mobile I think a more reasonable example is offline maps, I use OSMand myself but recommend Organic Maps to less technical people.

About offpunk, all browsers used to have that. Firefox still has the “work offline” option in the file menu. In offline mode you can go to any webpage that you visited while online.

Can you explain what you mean by offline-first?

Like if it’s internet stuff that still works when offline, most e-mail clients would count. I use KMail but they’re all pretty similar.

You need external speakers now and some sort of set top box, but you can just buy a 50" monitor, they’re intended for conference rooms or signage.

I personally just don’t connect my smart tv to my network.

HP is all over the place, they do make trash, but their business laptops are usually pretty good.

They’re also, more accurately, calling it an exploit and a security vulnerability.

It’d be good for Android to be mostly its base, the Android Open Source Project. Over the years Google put more and more things in the proprietary part of Android (Google Play Services) instead of AOSP.

Depends on who takes over whether that gets better of course. If they also put too much in Play Services, or ask the manufacturers for a high fee, yes it’s possible we go back to more oem flavours.

I guess this means we’re not switching to RCS then?

Not so far, I think the recommended filesystem is ext4, or if you have multiple drives, ext4 on LVM.

I’ve been using FreedomBox for years, overal I still like it. I don’t think Yunohost and CasaOS were around when I started, the alternatives were DIY from just a normal Linux distro, or NAS focused thing like OMV and trueNAS, both worse for what I wanted.

It doesn’t have a lot of apps but still some you may want. Some configuration stuff is really nice, like it makes it beginner friendly to set up Pagekite, LetsEncrypt, a firewall, ssh keys, users and reverse proxy automatically configured for the apps it does have.

Have configured some stuff outside of plinth anyway. Docker containers for apps it doesn’t have, configure apache to reverse proxy those too. I set up my storage in btrfs volumes from command line, but I think you could do it from the web interface too.

If I were to start over, I’d probably try Yunohost too, my third option would be plain Debian and diy everything rather than Casa. But for now I have no reason to try anything else.

Did some more reading, I was probably thinking of broadcast TV signals, which were 25 or 30 fps because one frame is two fields. and I wrongly assumed CRT TVs could only do one thing, but consoles mainly did progressive video.

Was it? afaik PAL was 50Hz but 25fps, and NTSC was 60Hz at 30fps. Two periods per frame because of interlacing or something like that.
