If you asked me the same stuff even just 5 years ago I would have responded the same. I am a tech enthusiast and work in tech. It took some time for me to understand the risks of not taking privacy seriously. I needed to discover how companies like Meta, Google or Microsoft collect and abuse our deeply personal information.

So, I recommend doing the same to people around you. Inform them of particular examples (e.g. Google flagging a photo of a baby taken for doctor’s analysis as CSAM), not just the risks. You may change the opinion of a few people, but it is unreasonable and unlikely for you to affect everyone around you the same way.

I was also skeptical with newer ThinkPads, but at the end I accepted the risk and bought one last year: T14s Gen 6, the one with AMD CPU. It is perfect IMO except for one small issue that affected me in the first few months and got resolved with a firmware update: battery drain during sleep was significant. It lost around 15-20% charge overnight. After the updates it loses at most 5% in the same duration.

And yeah it can update its firmware on Linux, just like Windows. Pretty rare thing to see. It has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora. I myself tried Arch and it works perfectly as well.

I have been using Logitech G305 for almost 6 years now. It has been basically perfect the entire time. Zero latency or connectivity issues.

I have managed to ditch WhatsApp (thankfully) and it has been years since I last had to migrate to a new device. The process was quite simple, at least as far as I can remember.

First, navigate to the backup menu (in WhatsApp) where you are supposed to choose a Google account and backup frequency. I think there should be a button named “backup now” or something. This will create a local backup located at Android/data_or_media/whatever_whatsapps_app_id_is. Browse the directory and you should see your backup in a nested folder.

Then, migrate this folder to the new device and put it in the same location before installing WhatsApp. After you install and open WhatsApp, it should prompt you to import your old messages from the backup.

Hey, with Immich 3.2 it looks like the deletion behavior is now what you wanted. Trash button in opened images does not ask for confirmation.

Don’t complain when people don’t bother to read something you didn’t bother to write

Any combination of “th” and “s”. Like “months”, " clothes", etc.

A while ago the developers have added an accessibility option called “Assist mode”, which lets you tweak some combat related options like increased damage output and health. You can configure it to essentially achieve god-mode.

I don’t think that’s possible currently. It is probably worth discussing on GitHub.

Weird. When I disabled that setting Immich started asking twice for deleting images. I turned it back on and it went back to normal.

Edit: I think I misunderstood your original question. Do you want Immich to not ask for confirmation at all when deleting things?

Oh, right, sorry. I didn’t want to delete the app and reinstall it to find out which permission it was, so I just guessed from its existing permissions.

On my device the relevant toggle is located in Apps > Special app access > Media management apps.

I believe you need to choose “Always allow all” option in “Photos and videos” permission.

No

I just remembered that I used to download the app with Obtainium from this repository. They have archived this repo four days and I don’t yet know what’s going on. The license in the aforementioned repo is GPL v3.

Some older games (example: GTA 4) have broken physics with modern CPUs due to core count.

It defaults to Proton Experimental on my Steam Deck, but Valve does override that and pin some games to a particular Proton version. Sometimes they even set some games to run their Linux-native versions.

While VLC is great, I have had cases where it failed me regarding hardware accelerated decoding. mpv has never let me down with this.

I think you answered your own question

what the fuck

I currently run it in Kubernetes but I just translated my existing Docker setup to it. I recommend setting up PostgreSQL and Redis if you can for the best performance, but SQLite and no-cache-approach is also fine for the beginning (you just run a single container).

That being said, I think Nextcloud is not very cloud-native. I set up Redis just so I can do rolling updates with zero downtime (filesystem locks are kept in Redis’ memory instead of the app’s own), but I still get some server errors for a brief moment during updates (for less than 10 seconds).
