The prices are insane though. $539 for a 6 Pro that has already received its last major update and is only getting 2 years of security updates. $629 for a 7 Pro that adds one more year of updates. Plus the 7 Pro can be bought new with 4 times the storage for less money.

But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

Thank you. I am not sure how that only ended up on that link.

I am not sure that northwest corner of Utah was worth giving up all that other territory. /s

They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.

Bitwarden is a means of saving some money and also not putting all your eggs in one basket, so it kind of is an answer to your question.

As others have said, no matter what you use, make sure you have regular backups.

Miracast and Chromecast are different. Miracast is the open standard while Chromecast is Google’s proprietary casting protocol.

Roku supports both Miracast and AirPlay, but I don’t think it supports Chromecast.

Despite not being easy to find, most news sites still have RSS feeds. They are great for just getting the news from sources I trust instead of big tech algorithm recommend blogspam. It is also possible to get RSS feeds from subreddits and Mastodon.

Google has done price increases the last 2 or 3 years, so they no longer have a price advantage. Samsung also has the same 7 year support window.

Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.

I can understand Nuke, but what do you have against The?

I see it listed further down under the Forums section.

openSUSE also remains one of the only distributions that have automatic Btrfs snapshots setup out of the box. I am very surprised other distributions have not done the same. Especially Fedora, since they use Btrfs already.

Google has been using a bad modem ever since the Pixel 6, resulting in poor cellular connectivity. Although given how strong the connection looks, this is likely at least partially due to congestion on T-Mobile’s network as well.
