Unfortunately a lot of consumers don’t understand this. Even if they use “pro” apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Yea sadly most people already do via an M365 subscription, if MS decides to tack an OS in with that, doubt many would care enough to make a swap.
Not the dude that you replied to, but heres my view.
There’s alot of linux based memes present on lemmy, and lots of “Linux btw” posters. It’s pretty disproportionate compared to other online locations of discussion. Im guessing the fediverse in general draws more of this crowd due to the nuances of it and similarly to how linux operates openly, etc, etc.
As a sysadmin whos focus is on all types of systems, it definitely doesn’t bother or stick out much for me personally either, but there’s for sure a higher content % about linux compared to other places. Which might get anoying to some people.
1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fob cloning, etc. without forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.
2: not that I’ve seen, and from they software they do use it seems mainly in house additions.
Though im not super into the scene, and i see it growing rapidly over the next few years seeing manufacturers keep doing some scummy shit to lock down their products.
Edit: fat fingered post before i finished typing it out oops.
Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.
Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.
You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info
Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.
Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.
Nubs need to make a come back. Ill take it over a trackpad any day.
Im still waiting on the world to end since 2012.
Haha yeah, and i used to charge an extra 25 cents for a “premium” version made out of construction paper.
Made a killing selling origami ninja stars in elementary school for a buck each.
Right around the time the the former EA CEO moved to being the Unity CEO.
Same dude that thought they should charge players money for ammo in micro-transaction format.
Dudes a shit lord.
Ah yes the clips! I stand corrected haha.
I haven’t owned an Apple product since the ipod nano, so the only lightning cables im used too, are user owned devices, which are normally chewed up without the little side clips functioning.
Ty, for the reminder!
In that reasoning they made confuses me.
I’ve also never had a usb-c just fallout/ feel non-secure. You’d think with the increased surface area with the usb-c ring fitting between the port wall and the center peg of the port would increases gripyness logically. Vs The single peg insert of a lightning cable.
But eh, im no physics doctor.
Todd Just had to toggle the “make game run good” button, massive over sight to be honest.

Look around the used market in your area. Likely can build a cheap baremetal system.
It might be best in the learning stages to keep your lab seperate from your daily driver machines, incase you mess up.
Yea its doable. Really depends on the games anti-cheat. You’d want to check each game.
Battle Eye based anti cheat games like R6S and Tarkov gave me issues last time i tried a similar setup. That was a few years back however, and with valves proton push, much of the compatibility has improved since then.
Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It’s dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.
