i have a fire tv stick at the moment and it's really sluggish even when just going through menus. is picrel (jewgle tv streamer 4k) any good? can i play media stored on a USB drive from it?
>>107553791Overpriced bullshit thanks to geerling
>>107552511pi5 has much better price to performance than the garbage tv boxes
>>107554590I moved from an ATV4K to the GTV Streamer, honestly I don't give a fuck.Actually Apple's software quality went down the drain recently, no I understand what oldfag macheads were complaining about during the OSX era.tvOS 26 is really fucking bad, anytime I would change context like menu to video, there is now a 1s black screen and noticeable "jitter" idk how to call it.I have no other theory than apple sillicon being too good and fucked up their sales so they had to nig it up.

>>107559019Set up multisig wallets using your mac would be better than buying an extra secure computer with a single wallet if you only care about long term storage.
>>107558995>>Desktop Linux is insecure. ESPECIALLY Debian and its derivativesDid you misread what was claimed in OP? GrapheneOS is secure and all desktops are not, according to the Daniel Micay.
>>107559063You made this thread alreadyDebain is less secure than more bleeding edge distros, are you perhaps not paying attention?If I recall you even have to manually turn on your firewall unlike distros like Fedora with it setup and active upon install.Security and privacy do not go hand and hand.So I ask you again anonWhat the fuck do you want?
>>107559051I use a hardware wallet called gridplus lattice 1, its basically an airgapped computer in itself so im only worried about clipboard hacking and other such attacks. Thanks for the advice.
>>107550104Yeah, they tend to trust Big Tech's security more than the middle cap companies that cobble their leftovers together at markup prices. There are less feature-rich alternatives to Graphene out there if you don't trust them.

Almost done with my CompSci Bachelor's (just my thesis remaining) and gonna enter my master's afterwards. Also working as a tutor at uni on top and some costudents think I'm smart. Despite that, I don't know SHIT about tech or software or anything related. I wouldn't even know where to start. Ask me anything if you think this is just imposter syndrome speaking, I'll try my best to give accurate answers.

>>107543575UTF-8 is bloated with retarded emojis. If UTF-8 had no emojis support I would guess it would be better. Why the fuck they even put emojis there? People should have just typed emoticons in text OR send small reactionary images. We have worst of the two by having retarded emojis in UTF-8. Our fonts are bloated with useless shit and if you don't have them there or not have all of them you see fucking squares with numbers. Even if you have these emojis in your font they look different in your font than the sender of the message unless you use the same platform with the same font.If not for emojis UTF-8 would be great. Because it supports it, there is an expectation that it's available. And because of that people use that. If there was no support the platforms would just implement "stickers" - small images or reactions. I fucking hate these retards that put emojis into UTF-8.
I've just noticed that Discord simply knew what games I played this year and how many times I launched them, even though I wasn't using their game overlay at all.What are the chances that the developers of Teams and Slack will implement something like this to report to our employers that we're playing games during work hours?
>>107558077There's always been a "location" setting in Teams where you can pick "home, office #1, #2 etc"The WiFi setting will notice when you're connected to your home network and set this automatically, or in office #1. For hybrid folks, this is great. You don't have to remember to manually set it since most orgs that offer hybrid require you to inform whether you're in office or at home anyway. You could always just manually set it to whatever you want if you're being sneaky for some reason.
>>107558121Also if you don't agree this is useful, that's fine, but my point is people are acting like this is going to give your boss a real-time GPS tracker and he can see if you're working at Starbucks etc. They don't understand wtf it is so they are chimping out. You think "tracks and reports Steam gameplay history to your boss" would ever fly?

>>107558984Discord is not the issue, dude.I don't give a crap if discord knows I fap to gigantess feet and play "my little sister has turned into a monkey"Things go to shit the moment Slack and Teams start doing that shit too.
What is the definitive game controller?
>>107525250I have big hands so PS5 controller is perfect for me. Same with button layout. PS4 is ok but PS3 is just too small.
>>107525250>No mic>No touchpad>AA batteriesIt's a good pad but the DualSense dethroned it
>>107558630>AA batteriesIt's the best thing about the xbox gamepad. You can use it with rechargeables and it's really easy to change them after the battery is no good.
>>107557310I hated the dpad at first but I really like it now that I've gotten used to it.
>>107525267Only if the cable is detachable.
https://tekniikanmaailma.fi/ovatko-vanhat-retro-aarteesi-muuttuneet-kellertavaksi-tassa-syy/most people thought simply letting sunlight into a house and allowing 80s to 90s white plastic to bathe in sunlight will turn them yellow after a few yearsit was more complicated thoughmost white plastics contained bromide which stops them from catching fire, there were also a few white plastic types not having bromide in it, and those did not turn yellow..because bromide was a health hazard (altough getting it into your system by touching plastic is not a likely scenario) they stopped using it in the year 2001 and as a consequence white plastic made since 2001, will not turn yellow
>>107556413>altough getting it into your system by touching plastic is not a likely scenarioMost chemicals they stopped using are less about the safety of the general public, and more about the safety of factory workers who have to handle it for prolonged periods of time

is p1's haptic trackpad as good as macbook?Z13 gen 1 had an awful trackpad with shit haptics
>>107527926no one responded but on the off chance anyone cares about something similar;ended up just going with an hp elitebook 845 g8. 5650u is more or less on par with 4750u(seems worse on multithreading but better single core and better on battery while having identical APU performance) and while you can get 4750u systems for $200~ they're usually C grade(or worse) wear levels, without charger or random other bullshit. Meanwhile there seems to be a pretty heavy firesale on this specific elitebook SKU across multiple vendors and even "real" vendors like newegg are selling refurbs for $230~ and you're getting it at "excellent" wear rating and likely better battery health. Which is technically important since shit isn't for me but for a kid and it's not cool to force them to deal with random dumbass quirks.tbdesu if you want a low cost APU machine it seems like it's just a solid option in general. Can't even really price out a set top box at the same performance level as far as I can tell(you could do a bit better if you spend more and get a real GPU but then you're spending more and it's not a laptop). though if you don't need /care about the APU and just want a shitposting machine I probably would've gone with something else.
>>107554620iirc i have a spare L380 (non-yoga) as one of the spares at work and while it's alright you can clearly see where they saved shekels with all 3 variants (non-touch, touch, yoga) all having the same lower plate with the pen insert.
>>107558274All iGPU but iGPU performance has come a long way since then assuming that you get the better CPU.
>>107518980as a T14G3 (Intel Aviv) user, I would avoid it like the plague. Terrible battery life and thermals. You are better off with the AMD T14G1 or any T480. I am legitimately considering replacing my T14 with some other AMD model, but I won't do it yet as its warranty lasts until april of 2029.
