Are people really actively using tablets? I thought that was more of a hype and is now something that lies around and gets occasional use on the couch, but not really productive.

Sounds like it’s only affecting TCP and TLS, so VPN over UDP would be a quick fix.

Works just fine if you put your phone in desktop mode.

Facebook works perfectly fine in browser, there’s literally no need for that shit app.

Sounds like the attack scenario is very sophisticated and targeted, and only works within the range of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) connectivity, so 10-15 meters under best circumstances. At that point they might as well eavesdrop on my calls in person.

GDPR. First time opening a European website? German ones like this are particularly transparent (by law, not choice).

Selling a product is a good business model if the product has a shelf life or naturally degrades over time, but served you so well that you’ll replace it in kind or with an upgrade.

A product that does something exactly once and done doesn’t scale long term, so once the hype was over, that was that.

Bought back by the one person who already had prior access, and bought by her own research non-profit. As far as privacy concerns go, that’s the best case scenario.

Yeah Linux is great, no doubt. I’ve been using Xubuntu since forever, never really touched Arch, but fundamentally if you know your way around one system, you’ll manage another.

Still, there are a bunch of applications that I must run under Windows, so it’s good to have the no frills version available for that.

Lol, did whoever set to the shop configure it in Australian dollars? 100 AUD are just about 65 USD. Given the currency fluctuation, that could just about work out.

Install the IoT version, that comes without any of the bloat and works just fine. Not even the Microsoft store is bundled in.

Pointless, unless you leave the roomba running outdoors. Indoors you don’t have GPS coverage, and your phone is logged onto the same cell tower anyway. Might just leave it stationary at home, same outcome.

Same. I’ve come to terms using it in browser mode on Edge, same for Outlook. The desktop applications are so horrific, I uninstalled both. Half the time they wouldn’t work or force log me out.

Now I literally have a standalone screen that’s showing nothing but Edge with those two tabs on, and all my productive environment is on a nice large screen where I don’t have to see the crap.

Liberals are genocide apologists?!

Right, thanks!

Never heard of that thing, but apparently it was Apple exclusives? Deserved death then.

I’m hoping ladybug will be operational for mainstream use, before the enshittification of Firefox progresses too far.

This article is a thinly veiled ad paired with fearmongering to get gullible users to buy the shit phones they sell (or not, some people have been on “waitlists” for 5+ years after providing a full payment).

Granted, their phones are fully open, but have next to no apps.

Personally I’ll stick with Android 12, rooted, and see what the future brings.

Youtube has ads? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Only works on Pixels, and I’d rather not give Google any money.

At that point I’d just get a dumb phone for calls and a tablet with data only SIM for the rest.
