Back to the Future.

A normal Doc Brown wouldn't have invented a time machine.

There are 2 types of companies, the ones who have been hacked the the ones which don't know they've already been hacked g about to be hacked.

If you're curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book "Your face belongs to us" by Kashmir Hill. It's an interesting read.

The side mounted finger print reader / power button on my old Sony Xperia XZ 1 Compact was great. Wish more phones had side mounted FP sensors.

Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn't happy, but didn't feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.

2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven't looked back since.

Yes. My Zenfone 8 is "small" but I want it even more compact. My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is the perfect size!

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I'm still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

I hane lost the use of so many Android app I paid for because they were delistd from the Play store. Not happy.

I now resort to creating a backup apk for my most usd ones. I also create a backup befors updating. Never know if an update will break something or even worse, remove a feature.

I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(

Good point but people have been driving to and from the outback long before the arrival of the connected car. Except the car, nothing else has changed much and it's still possible to drive around with a "basic" car. Besides, there's always the mobile phone if connectivity is required.

Consider the possibility that they are selling the data collected from you for a profit and using part of those profits to pay for the cellular service.

If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we'd all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.

Any recommendations on which DLCs to get?

Bazzite has been smooth sailing about 80% of the time for me. The rest of the 20% were due to either plasma or runner crashing, requiring me to perform a hard reset using the power button. And then it magically atarted working again. I've also had my home folder become read-only on occasion. Very strange.

And most other manufacturers too for following the stupid decision to remove the headphone jack.

OMG. I recall playing a Tarminator game in the 90s but was too young to care about the developer. TIL that it was made by Bethesda.

Wow, what a very detailed response. I've only been using Bazzite for about two weeks and still learning about it. Now I have a slightly better understanding of how it all works. 👍

I previously used Nobara but recently switched to Bazzite. I think you can give either of these two a shot. I recall Nobara includes a one button install of nvidia drivers. Not too sure about Bazzite since I have an AMD gpu.

Both these distros are gaming focused. Only difference is Nobara is a traditional distro while Bazzite is atomic desktop based.
