With paid softwares and services, it’s always the lifetime of the product’s profitability.

But it’s okay now, he declared it /s

At least the OS can be swapped. If the battery life is abysmal compared to the Neo for similar specs then there’s no redemption possible.

The only way I’d favor this over a Neo is similar battery life and user-replaceable RAM (ideally LPCAMM2).

Borat’s mankini. You’re welcome.

Yeah Lifetime Passes are unsustainable for a service. The only reason they exist is to attract some early adopters, keep them and if lucky enough have them bring more customers.

The only viable path forward is to discontinue the purchase of new lifetime licenses, or make them exponentially expensive.

Real friends share their media server ❤️

A new client specifically for Vaultwarden will show up if Bitwarden becomes hostiles against it and purposely sabotage the API.

The more time goes by, the more I’m interested about software and hardware that tries to do more with less at the consumer and enthusiast level.

Ex: ESP-based projects and products, Meshtastic/MeshCore, eInk-based displays for lower energy consumption, etc

Do a traceroute in both scenarios, that should give you a clue where the traffic goes and where it stops.

Even though it’s renewable energy, it still generates a significant amount of heat.

Can we try cutting down on computing resources wherever possible first?

Seems like a huge risk. You either lose a part of your userbase by leaving the country, or you risk losing your reputation internationally if it’s discovered that you are complicit in spying, and reputation is everything in the world of encrypted messaging.

They’re stuck being priced-out of the game with the rising price of hardware caused by AI data-centers.

And to the surprise of no one, those with a vested interest in building and maintaining those data-centers are trying to make cloud-gaming a thing (Amazon Luna, GeForce Now).

You won’t own your AAA games any more, and they’ll make them cloud-exclusive to stomp piracy and game resales.

By not doing responsible disclosure and giving time the developers to fix those flaws before going public, you’re not only publicly shaming the developers but also putting other users and instances at risk for absolutely no good reason.

Mega-asshole move.

We have a custom Fuck Uno card that is +12.

What you describe is basically a MSP (Managed Service Provider).

Most businesses that will seriously consider contracting will definitely want some SLAs and you’ll need to have the resources (technical, knowledge, human) to keep it afloat and a solid implementation plan, which is not a small undertaking.

But if you’re willing to do the work and you’re serious about it, I really hope you succeed and that would be a great way to advocate for FOSS.

Hopefully RISC-V takes over at some point.

The problem is that they’d cause a paradox by killing him, destroying their timeline and causing them to never travel back so their attempts are doomed to fail.

It’s mostly incoherent. Something that clearly break the rules will often stay up.
