  • Looking for DVD player recommentation

    Jump

  • I also try to move away from streaming to physical media, DVD, BluRay etc. My local movie store only had Panasonic DVD/BluRay players, and reviews generally looks good, so bought a Panasonic and it does the job well. Can recommend.

    EDIT: For clarify the local movie shop is independent and like 30-40 years old, and run by people who is movie and tech nerds, who knows what they are talking about. They have been THE shop since Laserdisc was the place to be.

  • How to work out

    Jump

  • Can recommend calisthenics / body weight fitness. It is easy to get started, hard to get wrong and the results are the best I have experienced.

    I know, reddit. But search for 'Recommended Routine' on reddit for a good place to start.

  • Looking for a good e-mail provider that's not Tuta/Proton

  • Posteo.de. Been using them for years, and are coulden't be more happy.

  • The word on the street is that Peter Thiel and friends wan't it for a tech bro network state, with no regulation on AI (as in LLMs) and other tech fantasies.

    Don't have a link, but it's public known that Thiel and friends wan't it, and that they seem to have the man in power in on it.

  • Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out

    Jump

  • An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want's Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I'm not ruling anything out.

  • It has been a few weeks since we started this, which European email provider have you switched to?

  • Jeg er sindssyg ensom...

    Jump

  • Ikke meget, men prøver at få det ind et par gange om ugen. Hhv. løb og styrke. Og er hver gang overrasket over hvor meget energi og den positive indstilling jeg har efterfølgende.

    Surt med vinterdepression. Men så er det forbigående,, og du skal nok blive OK igen.

    Jump

  • Årstiden kan også spille en rolle. Mit standard-humør svinger, og er klart lavest i vinterperioden. Så kan være det hele lysner lidt med forår og sommer på vej. Ellers kan jeg kun anbefale motion. Er ikke noget der slår det i forhold til humør og velvære. Og endnu et plus, hvis det er en sport sammen andre.

  • I've had the same laptop for seven years. Don't know much about them besides buy a Toshiba. Is this Hp Essential Laptop a good deal?

    Jump

  • Found the Thinkpad collector who is afraid of competition. Just kidding.. 🙂

    I haven't had much experience with the newer models, so what you say may be true.

    Jump

  • Don't know if it's a good deal.

    As others here I will recommend also looking at other brands. I think that you get the best deal by buying used business laptops. They are cheap, good quality, built to last and often repairable.

    Brand-wise I think Dell is OK, while Lenovo Thinkpads series T, X, W and carbon are even better choices, IMO.

    EDIT: Spelling.

  • Petition on the implementation of an EU-Linux operating system in public administrations across all EU countries

  • Someone mentioned that M365 is properly not legal. Guess what, it isn't.

    The EDPS (European Data Protection Supervisor) investgated the EU-Commissions' use of M365 and found it to be illegal in march 2024. EPDS gave the Commission until December 2024 to, among other things, stop transfers of Personal Information to third countries in M365 outside the EU. Which of course made the Commission sue the EDPS. And MS to do the same..

    So M365 is NOT legal to use for any Public Institution in the EU. Unless the Controller make Microsoft change their DPA, contract etc. Kinda like MS did for the Dutch government after the dutch firm Privacy Company made an in depth analysis of M365 and found numerous illegal processing etc.

    Fun how Microsoft was made aware of how they acted illegal, and changed it - only for the Dutch Government...!! The rest of their Customers still have the illegal DPA, terms etc... Also fun how it is Common knowledge and IT-departments still choose to use M365, and move as much as possible there from more privacy and security oriented services.

    EDPS investigation into the Commissions use of M365: https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/press-news/press-releases/2024/european-commissions-use-microsoft-365-infringes-data-protection-law-eu-institutions-and-bodies_en

    My point? EU-Linux is a fantastic idea! 🙂

  • Good privacy friendly TV setups

    Jump

  • I think bluetooth or 2.4 mhz is better than IR. Coming to think of it mine is a china something with keyboard on the side and remote on the other using 2.4 mhz. So point of line is not needed which is nice.

  • +1 Kodi. Been running it for ages on an old laptop with a infared remote with USB dongle. Kodi is set to autostart. Pretty hands off and can stream to it from local sources using Kore for android.

    EDIT: Can stream from local AND online sources using Kore ex Newpipe (Youtube).

  • Nice. Upgraded a Thinkpad, installed Linux Mint and gave it to my dad. I have not heard anything from him about it for a couple of months. Was reminded of it with your post.

    So wrote him right now and asked how it was going, and he replied that he loved it and uses it every day.

    And that he had not had any problems he could not solve on his own. He's 70 and a windows only heavy user - until now 🙂

    As you said. Compelety painless.

  • How to constructively protest against AI voice transcription at work?

    Jump

  • I don't where you live. But almost all of bigtech US cloud is problematic (Read: Illegal to use) for storing or processing of Personal information according to the GDPR if you're based in the EU. Don't know about HIPPA and other non-EU legislation. But almost all cloudservices use US bigtech as a subprocessor under the hood. Which means that the use of AI and cloud is most likely not GDPR-complaint. Which you could mention to the right people and hope they listen.

    Edit: It's illegal to use for the processing of the patients PII, because of transfer to insecure third countries and because bigtech uses the data for their own purposes without any legal basis.

    Edit 2: The same is the case with your, and your colleagues PII.

    In my opinion privacy and GDPR is the same in this case. I think most public authorities is required to have a DPO, fx hospitals or the relevant health authority. The DPO can help answer your and your bosses questions on the mentioned questions.

    Hope you figure it out.

  • After I’m Gone Backup Solution

    Jump

  • Often thought of the same thing. So leaving this comment here in case someone got a good solution that don't involve big tech.

    When I get the time my plan is to read up on big techs solutions, fx Google and Apple, who as I understand can give your family access under certain conditions if your've passed.

    EDIT: And replicate their solution using FOSS / self hosting.
