Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.

For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

If engineers were the ones in control that would mean something.

As I see it, phone manufacturers have zero reasons to keep the battery degradation low, but many reasons to push advertised capacity and charging speed. If you were cynical, you could also assume that they’re trying to make sure the battery doesn’t last too long because they want to keep selling new phones.

This whole thing of preserving battery life is something for people that want to use a phone for 5+ years without needing a new battery.

That’s a narrow point of view. It’s also reducing the ecological impact if a device’s battery isn’t trashed after two years, someone else would likely use it.

CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.

How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?

Using lemmy increases its popularity which in turn leads to more donations or other benefits.

If you can find one.

Solar produces DC, presumably the even higher voltage is preferable to the conversion losses.

I think my last one was about thirty years ago. Or close.

they’re a shitty corporation just like Nvidia

Neither of them are anyone’s friend, but claiming they’re the same level of nasty is a bit of a stretch.

It’s really annoying when it’s pushed in our faces everywhere. For getting a quick image of something you specify, or help with some boilerplate text it can be pretty neat.

But apparently, using the tools already available to you is not a common skill these days :(

So, are you not understanding that other people work differently, or are you just not using that skill?

Besides offering different approaches for different preferences, there are clear benefits to the extra level of organization. As an additional exercise, try to picture someone using multiple windows and tab groups.

Not everyone operates on the basic level. Hell, why even have tabs? The OS can manage multiple windows, and you can use multiple desktops to achieve the same result without that bloat.

Still, if it’s small enough to transmit via any wireless connection they can easily keep the local copy.

Why not both? As Linux achieves more and more momentum, you are bound to see real change in how Microsoft treats its users.

Is the issue with the packaging, or that only an outdated version can be packaged?

He could fix the license, then people would push the up to date version and users wouldn’t report old bugs.

Of course, the idea is that there’s less risk of that the more people switch.

Microsoft’s idea of consent:

Do you want to turn on Recall?

• Yes
• Maybe Later

Americans voted for this. You can argue about the minutiae and the process, but that’s the gist of it.

Anyone got an idea of cost? Of course this is going to be brutal, but it’s literally ten times what I have in my NAS, in a size slightly longer than a 2.5" drive.

Shouldn’t a system that was set up with Secure Boot refuse to start if it were disabled? Otherwise there wouldn’t be any protection against these attacks.

I don’t think setting up the system again is a simple remedy to having problems with this feature.

To be fair, their system works incredibly well without heating the batteries up much, despite 80W and higher charging. Was one of the things I was skeptical about when buying a phone recently, but I was pleasantly surprised.
