Capacitors replacing batteries like this, similar to nuclear fusion power, is always only X years away.

Because many people are not smart. If they buy a 65w charger and see only 60w being pulled they’ll complain that either the charger or phone is defective and want a refund.
I would like to see it as an option to enable, at the moment though I just have a few cables that measure/display this for me. It’s a useful basic troubleshooting tool with laptops and phones. If you plug them in and dont see any current or only 0.1w, you know there’s a problem with the device getting power.
Yarrrrrr indeed
Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.
Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.
Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.
Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content
They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.
A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off
If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.
My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.
X is deprecated, you should have moved into systemd-Y
You should change to Arch, I don’t use X but Arch is better.
Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.
Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.
As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.
Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.
Oooh the registry is even more fun.
Don’t forget that appdata nowadays has 3 sub folders, local, locallow, and roaming.
Also there’s C:\programdata
Also some programs just store it in the user folder, the documents folder, or games/ my games folder if they are a game.
Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.
Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.
Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).
In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:
Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.
Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.
They don’t care. It’s the film industry equivalent to the Microsoft support scammers. Get a bunch of targets, spam out hundreds of thousands of threatening emails, profit off the small percent of people who fall for it.
For most networks, a proxy would be best done though dhcp option 252, which allows specifying a URL that contains a wpad configuration file, or through DNS.
However that’s less annoucement and more making the service discoverable.
A sane firewall configuration should have no/minimal impact on a desktop focused OS.
On the other hand, sometimes programs are really badly made and expect stupid things like there being no firewall.
You should have one yes, but to each their own.
I manage a bunch of windows computers and regularly make adding firewall rules part of install scripts, good example: Dreamweaver.
Samsung galaxy s21+ as my phone
I got it back at release when they let people stack discounts (paid like 40% the cost of the device). It’s still fast enough for everything, a good size, I also got the care plus option with it so swapped to a brand new one earlier this year, want to get another 2 years out of it.
I also have a galaxy tab s6, but haven’t ended up using it as much as I thought I would over the years.
If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.
They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.
They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.
In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.
Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)
