99 % of smartphone users don’t care about USB-C transfer speeds because they only use the port for charging. Maybe a fraction of these users uses wired CarPlay, which works the same with USB 2.0 speeds. Maybe some users use a USB-C to headphone jack adapter which works the same as well.

There’s a tiny fraction of users that’ll ever notice the speed difference (because they use the port for actual data transfer) but they won’t find reading a spec sheet confusing.

Same. It’s pretty cheap, comes with unlimited free traffic and is just simple to use. Supports many ways to access it, including BorgBackup.

Not sure if I understand you correctly.

Your goal is to have a single (1) computer that replaces all computers you currently have by essentially virtualizing different systems?

You get downvoted because people here tend to dislike Apple (which is fine), but that’s actually what happened.

The iPad (and eventually Android tablets) basically ate up the market share of Netbooks very quickly. Steve Jobs introduced the iPad as a Netbook alternative as a device class between a smartphone and a (full-sized) notebook/desktop.

That it’s best so sort comments from lowest scores to highest to get the actual unpopular opinions.

The best Windows is Wine ;)

Or just license SUSE Linux and you get all the professional support you need. I don’t understand why they’d want to roll their own thing when a European solution that ticks all the boxes exists.

Why don’t they bundle the browser itself in the Flatpak and update it via the default Flatpak update mechanism?

For those on iOS: there’s an app called “Vinegar” that replaces the YouTube player with a vanilla HTML5 player that supports background/PiP play without YT Premium.

Alternatively on iPhones with “dynamic island”, minimize Safari while a video is playing, quickly tap-and-hold the dynamic island area and resume playback. After that you can lock your device and audio will continue playing.

Couldn’t remember the passcode of my phone a few years ago and I had been using this passcode for quite a while. I guess I only really remembered it through muscle memory and that somehow went away.

I didn’t recover the muscle memory for the whole day so I decided to reset my phone and restore from backup, setting a new passcode. The next day I tried to unlock my phone and out of habit typed in my old passcode (that obviously no longer unlocked my phone), had a big AHA moment and that was that.

Relying on muscle memory is not a great idea, mine left me for a good 24 hours before suddenly coming back.

I have a few passcodes/passphrases like this but nowadays I store them in a password manager as well, just in case my muscle memory lets me down again.

Fabric with some performance-enhancing mods is a great choice as well, yes! I’ve been wanting to test it on my server for a while now, just haven’t got around to it yet.

Paper changes some of the more quirky vanilla redstone behavior, although - again - it’s very configurable so some of that original behavior can be restored.

I’d mostly base it on which plugin/mod ecosystem you prefer/require.

World simulation (ticks) is single-threaded, but things like world generation are multithreaded. I’d recommend Paper as server software as it’s more performant out of the box (vs. vanilla) and configurable (ex. how many threads world generation is allowed to use).

If you host multiple worlds I recommend spinning up a Paper instance for each world separately and connect them with Velocity.

Ryzen 7000 should have better single-threaded performance than your i5-9500 but as it’s a VM ymmv depending on whether Sparked Host overprovisions their machines.

Couple of years, yeah.

They run their own registry at lscr.io. You can essentially prefix all your existing linuxserver image names with lscr.io/ to pull them from there instead.

Until it starts breaking, like it did for me upgrading from Fedora 39 to 40 for example.

Or until you try to bind mount a volume of a container and need to use z or Z flags.

The “advantage” compared to a simple Linux USB is that it saves the exact state of the VM I guess.

Meh, I’d rather open the applications I need again (or let my DE restore them) than running a VM just for that reason.

Fedora should honestly just default to Flathub and remove their own repo.

If it uses known VPN servers as exit nodes (which seems to be what it does), then no.

I will die here

Kind of what you were sent there for :|

Apple was very late to add AV1 support to their ecosystem in general. As you state, support for hardware decoding was only added with the M3/A17 Pro chips in 2023. There’s still no AV1 hardware encoder on any of Apple’s chips.

I think they were waiting on H.266 and whether it succeeds for too long, they were/are big on H.265 (and all the other HEVC-related stuff like HEIC) so that’d make sense from that perspective.
