Wow… the tvOS one is interesting to me… I will watch with interest

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

No one believes this stuff anymore, right? Google combines 3 teams to focus on making the Play Store more profitable… something something developers

I don’t know how common my attitude is, but the only one I pay is for iCloud storage. I will find an app with a one off payment or nothing

They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Sure, but it would be illogical to think that a company with seemingly unlimited resources would get fined, and then introduce new that didn’t exactly comply with what was required… I mean, I would think they are working with the EU to ensure it is within a millimeter of what they are allowed. It seems you just don’t like it.

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

I haven’t tried the quest, but I will be interested to see the comparisons of picture quality and features. It seems expensive, but I can see there being a big market for something like this in a few years for people who might live alone and enjoy the minimalism of now having a massive TV. There would seem to be a tonne of people in the world who wouldn’t bat an eye at dropping $3,500 on a gadget.

I will wait for the budget version in a few years, but Plex would be rad

Maybe there is no kool-aid and it is just better, hence why these apps exist. As you said, RCS is coming yet people still aren’t happy. It sounds like Google can’t make a decent messaging app and is mobilising it’s user base to force the issue instead of innovating

Why not go whinge to Google to develop a messaging system that Apple users want to integrate with…

I think the point of contention is that Windows 10 works fine, there is no need to move to Windows 11 except that Microsoft has found new ways to monetise the OS through its data, so they are making Windows 10 end of life

Flatnotes for me. I haven’t tried many others, but it was perfect for what I needed. Markdown, writes plain text files so no database/easy to backup

I got a cheap 4 bay Terramaster off Amazon for $250 AUD… they are on special a few times a year including prime day and Black Friday. They are ok. I get about 95MB/s write to a raid 5 array

Not that I am interested in one, but if I was after something that Meta sold, I would buy something else

No the docks don’t have any video processing capability, they either convert the usb-c to video, or they have a driver like DisplayLink. In the case of Dell, the usb-c docks are limited to one 2k or greater monitor at a time, so you can have a 2k and 1080p, but not 2 x 2k or a 2k and a 4K… the Thunderbolt version of the same dock has no such limitation
