KDE ships klipper by default which is the same thing and works fantastically. Supports multimedia and is fast, I only wish it had a cli tool instead of having to use xclip or qdbus. On windows I find ditto much more performant than the native clipboard manager.

In Australia the price difference between an air and a 17 is only $50 which imo makes it great value.

Sorry new Toyotas have mandatory alcohol testers? Which locale are you in? I’ve heard of mandatory breathalysers for work vehicles or DUI drivers but all new cars?

Beeper is owned by Automattic (of Wordpress fame). They’re a corp but I wouldn’t call them mega and they use matrix which is an open federated protocol.

You can run your own matrix server but tbh it’s easier for someone else to do it.

Not to mention the obvious advantages of their bridges into the closed networks of WhatsApp/fb/x/instagram etc

I don’t disagree but none of the native RDP clients support oauth for non azure computers.

Not many good MFA options for native RDP/RDG. Putting it in the browser lets you wrap the whole thing with OAUTH/passkeys etc

There’s a launcher called T-UI I used to use when I had an android. One of the features it allowed was this. It would display a log of all your notification on your Home Screen and you could just click it and go straight into the conversation as if you’d clicked the actual notification. And u could always scroll up and view older notifications because they weren’t dismissed.

I think the defaults they’re referring to are for fedora desktop, not server

Actually MacBooks get 6/7 years from when Apple stops selling them. In contrast, the timer starts as soon as the first Chromebook with that cpu is released. It was a nasty surprise when I found that out

You can use Calibre to side load books without an account. It can also convert epubs to mobi’s.

What if their brother in law is an exec at an American competitor? I don’t see how your example is relevant given we’re discussing governments spying/compelling citizens to spy for them.

I’m a uni student in aus right now and I’m not a fan of Chinese propaganda but I wouldn’t mind a free trip to China. Do you have any links/tips on how I could get myself on one of these trips? I’m at UNSW btw.

Have you seen the T series portable ssd’s by Samsung. Nowadays multiple companies make portable ssds that use the same nand in their internal ssds but in a smaller custom form factor. They’re exactly like what you described, about the size of a deck of cards and much much more reliable and cheaper than micro as cards.
