If you haven’t noticed, you’ve been not paying attention. I canceled Prime a while ago and they try very hard to get you back. And they try to sneak on you billed expedited shipping when over minimum gratis shipping quota. Dark patterns galore.
It would be a major pain for me to boycott them completely so I don’t, yet.
You seem to not be using open source software packaged for multiple architectures or which can be built for your binary target. Most people will be just using a browser and an office suite.
You seem to trust Nvidia. I don’t.
I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.
Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.
Secure has no meaning.
There is a reason 1984 was written by a Brit.
Interesting, wasn’t aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you’ve been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don’t matter in most courts.
No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.
Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it’s a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.
Without VPN or Usenet subscription it’s going to be difficult and/or illegal.
LineageOS with Jerboa over Mullvad VPN here. Not many options on mobile devices.
Nah. He’s that Youtube dude.
From the mouth of the beast https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes What I have read online is that Nomad can have issues at large scale. No personal experience.
In any case since now OpenShift and Nomad are both under IBM’s umbrella there is space for an enterprise Kubernetes distribution, if someone is brave enough.
Nomad isn’t a real alternative to Kubernetes/OpenShift.
Gen AI is a net negative for the moment, since the deluge of generated low-quality content outweighs convenience of topical results generated by LLMs with natural language queries.
Things definitely changed. 15-20 years ago you actually got good search results instead of unusable crap we get today.
Good luck with that.
I use video projectors. Many of them, typically the better ones do not have any built-in smarts requiring an Internet connection.
In general, smart devices are a major security risk, and need to be firewalled off.
Ok, if you don’t use their web site you won’t see the UX dark patterns. Trust us, they there and fit with the overall garbagefication theme. Annoys the living shit out of me. At least no more Prime Video UI and ad trainwreck.
