Yup, if you hand them your unlocked phone they can look through it.

I don’t understand how lemmy and fedi apps in general still have this problem, they never seem to be able to recognize a link and just show it on my home instance.

Basic Brother black and white lasers come with only a USB connection and are really cheap to operate. Also no special drivers required.

He doesn’t have a good reputation for his videos or products that I’ve seen, they come across as very scammy and he has a very ‘podcast snakeoil scammer’ feel. I would avoid it.

Better off buying a Google Pixel, the older ones are cheap now.

What does libre mean?

None of the alternatives are good enough yet. Either the UX is bad, or they are missing important features, or both in most cases. There is too much focus on privacy and encryption and not enough on being easy to use, and having the features people are used to.

Asking friends on Discord to switch to Matrix which is missing most of the features and bots they are used to is not going to work out. Same for Telegram to Signal or Matrix when they’re used to group chats, channels, stickers, bots to handle moderation of new users, polls, forwarding of messages, stories, and so on.

None of the Discord ‘alternatives’ that come up seem to support game streaming with low latency, some don’t even have voice rooms yet, they’re just a text chat with a meeting room feature tacked on.

I’m a fan of separating services when possible.

And emails are a huge pain to change, so it might be worth considering an email service with your own domain name.

Sounds like your business needs to update their GPO to disable those features that aren’t useful for your business.

Except for disabling UAC, that’s basically like logging in and running everything as root on Linux.

There are also options that are open source, like OsmAnd+ or Organic Maps.

Sure, but the cost of batteries is at the point where even with replacements every 10-15 years you’ll spend less than you would buying power from the grid.

All of them, plus storage batteries are under much less abuse and are different chemistry that lasts a lot longer.

Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.

Probably just swapping over to the cell network to continue the call.

While VoLTE is using data, it’s not part of the normal data service your phone uses for the internet, so turning off data likely doesn’t affect it.

That used to be the case with 3G and “3.5G”, but with 4G and 5G calls are done over data (VoLTE).

Sounds like you need to set up the Jellyfin server as a windows service so it starts without logging in. I’m surprised it doesn’t do this automatically as part of the installer setup.

Alternatively you can just set up auto-login for your windows user account, but that gives you no security from local access.

Generally toyotapartsdeal.com because their prices are pretty good.

For generic non-OEM stuff I almost always use rockauto

There isn’t a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I’ve used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

It’s wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that’s 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!

A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!

Yes I’m waiting until it’s ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

If you want that style of UI use Zen browser, it’s based on Firefox and doesn’t require an account to use it.

Arc is just another crappy browser based on Chrome. The account requirement was and is a huge red flag.
