In my experience Google has a history of discontinuing support at very short notice.
Has this happened earlier than their announced timelines? Google has publicly stated 7 years of support for these phones.
Google absolutely EOL many products, but from what I know they never guaranteed support for those and went back on it later.
If you want to play modern or even recent games and indulge your locked down metwork desires I recommend getting a secondary PC just for gaming and run a separate vlan to fully separate traffic from your existing setup. There’s really no realistic threat vector there barring a state level actor or something equally serious but I’m happy to be corrected.
Its not underpowered for average users, but it’s not meant for professional uses beyond basic office work.
Similar to the mini they offer the Studio which doesn’t have a monitor built in https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/compare/?modelList=Mac-studio-2023,Mac-mini-M2
Then for the higher end uses they offer a more typical tower format https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/
Finamp for anyone using Jellyfin https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp
I had a similar issue and it was due to a typo in my Timezone field for Compose
Desync still isn’t fully fixed, although in Nov 2023 they announced stsrting a networking codebase rebuild to try and fix it so maybe in the future it will be.
In 2022 they announced they were putting desync on hold due to other higher priority issues.
This is the same team that said they couldn’t add Slayer at launch because their brand new engine made it too difficult to add
So if a poster from the Star Trek Lemmy moves to Facebook Groups and brings along a small fraction of the userbase, is it fair to say the Star Trek Lemmy community migrated to Facebook?
I’d say actual daily users are less than 10k
So 100 times bigger, by your own estimate?
They created a new community, sure. The reddit community didn’t migrate though.
Then its not a migration, which is what we’re talking about.
If you’re happy leaving a group of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands in some communities for a group of 100 that’s cool, but don’t spin it as a successful migration.
The rest of the world didn’t even realize we left.
I just checked the Star Trek community on reddit and it’s still up with 753k members and 189 online. The Lemmy versions I can find are a fraction of that.
The idea of Lemmy is great but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking big communities actually migrated.
You don’t have to walk away, you can migrate.
We tried that with Lemmy and many great communities only have one or two people posting consistently.
Most people don’t care about behind the scenes
What festivals aren’t providing water stations anymore?
Most people just don’t look for the stations, or don’t want to wait in the longer line.
Deez must run on D’s.
I’ve never bought a new “cutting edge” product that’s cost more then what it should, and I’m pretty into technology/computers
What products specifically are you considering?
But also, you mentioned Arch, so I got to ask, are pantyhose conformable?
They’re socks
I think it’s still worth doing so your phone isn’t rapidly trying to connect and disconnect from nearby cell towers as you ascend and descend. Maybe there’s already protections in place for this case but it makes sense that it could add a lot of unnecessary strain on certain cell towers.
50% margins aren’t that high for a “cutting edge” low volume product.
Civic cars are high volume with an established market and consumer base.
Not everything is an apples to apples comparison.
I’ll never buy one because I use Arch BTW, but there needs to be a profit incentive for new tech to be developed, otherwise we get rehashes of the same old same old.
ACG on YouTube I feel does a great job at this if he’s following his publicized guidelines. He doesn’t do any sponsored content nor accept paid for trips from the gaming industry and when he receives a free copy of the game for review purposes he purchases a copy to give away to the audience. Accepting the free early copies and paying to give one away on release seems like a good compromise to ensure he can get the review out near the embargo date.
They’re advertisers disguised as reviewers.
Plex sharing also opens up the ports, and is what the user is using already.
Sure, but there’s a difference between no support period and a publicly announced support period.
Feel free to come back and mock me if they break their 7 year promise. I don’t think they will.
