  • The Clicks Communicator stumbled by marketing itself as a "second phone". It has everything I want out of a "real" phone, no AI push, and it's small. I'm going to try it as my next (only) phone.

  • The average MDM software used to manage business phones won't accept being a secondary user, usually they must be set as "device owner" as they need full controll on apps (automatically install apps, veto certain content, and so on), maybe they will allow the opposite, personal stuff in the secondary user

  • $500 for a niche device that won't sell millions of units and that comes with not medium-high specs, isn't too bad. And it has unlockable bootloader.

    $200 and Linux is impossible unless it's something with a CPU from a decade ago like the pine phone (the allwinner a64 was launched in 2015 and it was a low end one, imagine using it today)

  • I do not understand why you are calling "holocaust Harris" someone that wasn't against selling weapons used by someone else with the explicit intention of doing a genocide (she knew but she was ok with that) BUT you're NOT doing the same to the other one, which instead is actively planning the final solution???

  • If the password is long 15 characters that means you use a password manager. At that point just put the bitlocker password in the password manager

  • Images patched by Rufus can definitely pass secureboot, as long the bootloader wasn't touched. Secureboot only checks the signature of the bootloader, not every single file of the operating system, otherwise it will take hours to boot

    Plus Rufus touches some XML read by the installer, doesn't crack the executables

  • Did you read the news about how nowadays is almost impossible to use Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?

    When/if any user uses the computer with a Microsoft account, then the bitlocker decryption key is silently and automatically uploaded to Microsoft servers as a "safe backup" 😉

  • In Windows 11, if the main user logs in with a Microsoft account (which is mandatory unless you do some hacks during the install), it automatically encrypts the main drive by default without asking the user consent and uploads the decryption key to Microsoft servers (again, without user consent, but usually this is appreciated because sometimes automatic BIOS updates via windows update wipe the tpm and keep all your data at ransom.)

  • Wasn't this by design? Otherwise why keeping the decryption keys on servers located in the united states'?

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • Way better than expected. Even if I was already using Linux on servers since decades, on desktop I preferred Windows. But my laptop was with 8gb soldered RAM and Windows 11 is basically unusable with that amount. I wanted to switch.

    But my past experience was bad, too often stuff was broken. Used Ubuntu in 2016, couldn't stand it => revert to win10, tried Manjaro in 2019, one day I fucked with some AUR and it could not boot => revert to win10. I left thinking that Linux on the desktop is not ready.

    Then last summer the constant updates on my windows laptop made it unusable. It simply doesn't leave enough memory to use a web browser with more than a couple tabs.

    At the same time at work a windows 11 update introduced a very annoying bug: after standby, windows would switch the resolution of displayport monitors to 800*600 and destroy my window layout, with everything moved to the top left corner. I had to use a tiling window manager like glazewm as a temporary fix until Microsoft fixed the bug (still annoying waiting for a couple seconds to have the windows rearranged when the monitor went to standby) and I fell into the rabbit hole of tiling managers. I watched videos where some YouTubers showed how l33t is cachyos with hyprland with their magic dotfiles and I fell for the meme.

    For the first few weeks it was awesome, then of course hyprland deprecates syntax without warnings and I started to get errors after the first update. Also the concept of using someone else's dotfiles is wrong as they're highly opinionated. They should do videos about how to make your Linux experience similar to theirs, not "clone this configuration as a black box", because then you would have no idea how to fix problems when the updates come. But it seems like their priority is getting stars on their GitHub, rather than actually helping people. "Just blindly run this script as sudo" is a wrong concept, IMHO.

    Then when hyprland changed syntax AGAIN without warning, I was fed up, didn't want to spend hours to debug the problem so I spent hours to reinstall another distro. I read that Linus is using fedora with plain gnome and some frippery extensions because "it just works" and... OMG. It just works! I'm shocked how good vanilla GNOME has become since the last time I tried it in 2019! It's now fully usable even for a noob! And I like those extensions too. Modern but classic. Easy but powerful. And the apps in the GNOME circle are so polished. I was shocked to see pika backup, user friendly but not dumbed down.

    Windows drivers are so fancy, with previews and a billion options, while Linux gets a randomly ordered list of raw options in a drop-down menu and that's it
