Is it a controversial opinion on /g/ to say that I preferred when TVs didn't have their own OS frontend?I'm not saying linear TV didn't have it's problems but at least it always felt like it did what I wanted, not what it thought I wanted.The golden middle-ground was when you connected a streaming stick to a HDMI port on your dumb-TV.
>>108505966You get copilot
>They should make computers easier, like TV, so people in the community can get jobs>They do.>"Wow, I hate this!"
>>108505954>Is it a controversial opinion on /g/No. TV's became cancer and normies don't even know why. If you "need" Netflix and other streaming services, a "normal" android tv is "fine", as long as google allows "side loading" If you don't need "4k" streams and DRM, disconnect your "smart" TV from the Internet and just use a mini pc, raspi, etc. connected to your NAS and run Jellyfin or Streamio.
>>108505954Dumb TVs are good but smart TVs now with Google TV are also good. There was a transitory period of 10-15 years where smart TVs came with their own proprietary OS and they were all universally dogshit.
>>108505954>The golden middle-ground was when you connected a streaming stick to a HDMI port on your dumb-TV.The golden middle-ground is connecting your half-decent PC to a HDMI port on your modern "smart" TV while having never connected the TV to any kind of network.I've been doing this since 2011 and so far I've not seen any reason to stop doing that.Had a small problem when I moved in finding a working 10m HDMI 4K60 HDR cable (second one I ordered) and that was it.Anything wireless is and ALWAYS will be vastly inferior to a decent cable.Bluetooth? Might be faster than 20 years ago but stability is still an issue.Wifi? Same fucking thing.

This year's Debian Project Leadership election has only ONE candidate and it's a Pajeeta (Sruthi Chandran):>She is inactive on the mailing lists, and her Salsa profile is private so we can't even see what her coding contributions are.>She's run for DPL 4 times before; lost each time>Her entire platform is just about diversity and bitching about cis males>She intends to formally incorporate Debian in the US, which would force Debian to introduce age verificationHer only claim to fame is organizing DebConf23, an event where a Debian developer literally fucking DIED because basic health & safety measures were not followed.A much more qualified candidate was hospitalized during the nomination window and couldn't apply in time, yet she has refused to reopen nominations.Debian is FUCKED unless the Debian developers all vote NOTA (None of the above).

>>108508572+aliases are gayI pay for proton unlimited and it comes with simple login which allows you to generate unlimited email aliases. If you don't care about the rest of proton suite you can pay for just simple login and use the API key in bitwarden to generate email aliases easily.
Genuinely I don't believe it.
>>108511007My favorite is how they come in here and try to say Linux is only used by Indians when Microsoft has an Indian CEO and just recently fired a ton of the MS staff and replaced them with H1B Indians. I know most of those people are just posting ragebait but some of them are actually being serious.
>>108509811just deactivate your filters for a minute and check out the cataloguethis board is brimming with retards. The myth that they can be effectively contained in their own threads is delusional
>>108511080My favourite is when lintards are told by Winchads why the linux desktop isn't appropriate, and they respond: "you don't need that." Yeah, some midwit guy who rices his desktop all day knows best what engineering software you should use, love it.

how to wipe a drive in a way that is truly unrecoverable?fellas, It brings me great joy to tell you all that I've finally gotten over my lifelong crossdressing fetish. My 10+ years of pics have already been rounded up and deleted, and the recycle bin has been emptied. now I just need a method of disk cleaning capable of scrambling the magnets inside enough to properly dispose of the "evidence." I wouldn't have been so paranoid about this before in the past but I was reading about this whole incident here the other day thinking "yeah, I'd probably kill myself if something like this happened to me" so I really wanna do this to finally have that peace of mind and be done with it.
>>108509993power drill and a big ass neodynium magnet will do the trick, desu you only need one but if you wanna go full tinfoil use both, first open the drive up and pull out the platters, just doing this alone makes the data unrecoverable for like 99% of people because you definitely damaged the drive to do this, those arms are sensitive and you almost certainly fucked one up, swapping does no good either because the chipset on the harddrive is needed for data recovery, the remaining folks have special equipment to fix and/or transplant the necessariesso after you dismantle the things you'll find some powerful neodynium magnets VERY powerful (because they're used to move the arms really fast) take one of those and just rub it all over the platter, really get it in therefinally take a power drill and shatter the fucking things, or a hammer, pmuch anything that'll actually physically destroy the platters, unless you have the nuclear launch codes or some shit no one is going to put in the effort to try to rebuild a broken platter
>>108509993Ehy is this shit gettinf posted everywhere?

How dependent are you on the cloud? Does anybody do local backups any more?

Only piece of data I hold multiple copies of is keepass database. Have it both in cloud and locally on multiple devices.
I have a bunch of bare HDDs sitting in a suitcase that I pull out and connect to my PC with a SATA-to-USB adapter whenever I need to fill them with data or pull data out. I make a text file with a list of all the files on each HDD so I can search them and decide which one I need to pull out of the suitcase.
It's been happening since I updated to iPadOS 26.4 yesterday. Have cleared ALL website data.
