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.

Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

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.

It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

KeePass password vault

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.

I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.

Everyone already anticipates new Google services to fail. Expecting people to spend hundreds of dollars on content that is locked to a service run by a company that is known for canceling services after a couple of years was always going to fail.

Stadia was essentially just a demo of Google’s cloud capabilities. Even if Stadia was a massive success, it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to Google’s ad revenue and have no impact on stock price.

Ironically, if Google were upfront about how it would handle the shutdown, it likely would have increased consumer confidence enough that Stadia may not have needed to be shutdown.

Mozilla Foundation owns Mozilla Corporation.

Mozilla Corporation, which is responsible for Firefox, is what also purchased Anonym.

Proton will still be a for-profit company that will be majority-controlled by a non-profit. The non-profit will not own all of the business either, so there will still be profits going to shareholders.

Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.

In addition to Run Your Own Mail Server, all backers will get some of Michael’s previous books including:

• Networking for Systems Administrators

And SSH Mastery if the campaign reaches $65,535

Google does not let you unlock the boot loader if the device is carrier locked. It needs to get paid off and unlocked before the boot loader can be unlocked to install custom roms.

If checking their email a couple of times per year is too high a requirement, I would not recommend the time and effort necessary to maintain a mail server. Even people who enjoy self-hosting often do not want to host a mail server.

Signal still requires a phone number to use it. What they recently added is the ability to message people without needing to know their phone number.

• Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons
• Surveillance Report
• 2.5 Admins
• Self-Hosted
• Philosophize This
• Frequent Miler

I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.

Create a different alias for everything using a service like:

• SimpleLogin
• Addy (AnonAddy)
• Firefox Relay
• Apple Hide My Email

Yes. With MXroute, you pay for storage and can create as many accounts, emails, aliases, etc. as you want.

If Google would have said upfront that all purchases would be refunded when Stadia shuts down, it likely would have increased confidence enough that people would actually use it.

iOS Reminders app synced with Radicale server.

• free stuff
• subscription

Pick one

This is disappointing as someone who does not want everything centralized under one company. I have tried to diversify the services I use, but this is the second one that Proton has acquired.

SimpleLogin development has essentially been stalled since they were acquired by Proton as resources were used to develop Pass instead. I have a feeling that Standard Notes will be treated similarly.

Apple does it locally on the device.

Progressive Web App

Libro.fm and Downpour both sell DRM-free audiobooks and offer an optional subscription credit model similar to Audible.

Photopea is a great web-based photo editor, but it is not FOSS.

While it would be great to see official support, the Heroic Games Launcher is a very good way to play GOG (as well as Epic and Amazon Prime) games on Linux.

Official announcement

VirtualBox still does not support Apple Silicon well. UTM is a great free and open source alternative.

There is a setting to automatically check for updates. I would see if that is enabled.
