Weird that specifically foldables are excluded

Depends on what protocol the hub uses to communicate to the devices. ZWave and Zigbee are standards that are often compatible with generic hubs and Home Assistant. Gotta do your research on each device and how well they are supported

“X is good, Y is bad.” It rarely is that simple.

Well that depends on which religion you follow and how strictly you follow it. Might want to be a bit more specific

Sir I think you have stumbled into the wrong sublemmy

I guess we should also force everyone to use wheelchairs because they are great for paraplegics.

They’re sometimes compatible. I have French style plugs in Belgium, but most of my devices have both a hole and side connectors to be cross-compatible.

Even “heavy” linux distros are easy to run for a pc capable of running and streaming modern games. Lightweight distros are mostly relevant for older or underpowered hardware.

Have you checked out https://openrazer.github.io/#devices

I agree. My previous phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro, the last one with a pop-up camera. I only ever used that camera as a party trick, didn’t take a single real photo with it. The only reason I switched to Motorola edge 50 is because the OnePlus hadn’t gotten security updates in 2 years and it’s second battery was also starting to degrade. I’d use an aftermarket ROM but my banking app probably won’t like that. The Motorola is fine I guess. The punch hole doesn’t often get in the way. But it’ll never be quite as cool as the 7 pro…

The easy path to getting storefronts like EA working is through Lutris. It does all the setup for you through guided wizards. I can’t help much with deciding a distro tho, I’ve been using Fedora for years and that works well enough but is not exactly gaming focussed.

I agree but in this case an unlocked bootloader is unlikely to help. These niche devices rarely get good roms

You can’t get ultra-rich while being a compassionate person

You want us to yell out our credit card details over the phone like the good old days?

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

You copy pasted 3 possible answers from the font of infinite possible answers. OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.

To be fair, LLMs are very good at this sort of associative lookup. But I agree that it doesn’t add much to thr conversation. It’s like the modern equivalent of letmegooglethatforyou

Do you have a source for the CIA backing claim? I can’t find anything substantiated with a quick ddg search.

IP rights is not a problem that needs solving. In fact, the existing legal system has ways of punishing copyright violations whereas the Blockchain does not.

Supply chain validation is also an example of the block chain “in action”. But the people that are entering the data on the Blockchain are the same people that were typing it in an email yesterday.

I used to be a fan of the technology as well but so far it hasn’t show itself to be useful. A solution in search of a problem.
