My initial thought of an “old” iPhone would be one without Touch ID (square home button), but it’s actually insane to think that a 10 year old iPhone today is the iPhone 6. That iPhone has (had?) 3D Touch, Touch ID, and Apple Pay. Those all still sound like modern features to me.

I love that it’s also got build instructions for Windows and macOS

Just my 2c while taking a shit, I think if the bot just printed the direct name of the news source (“Sky News Australia”, “CNN”, " The Guardian") and additionally said “This is the automatically detected source of this news. Please consider replying to this comment with a better source if you think one exists”

It makes it clear there’s zero bias and encourages conversation with other users here. It also is a reminder in case you might be skimming past and miss the domain it’s from, and you personally can judge “Oh, that’s what I think is a reputable source”, “Oh, it’s those wankers, this is garbage” or “I haven’t heard of that source before, I’ll be skeptical” as some examples

?!?! Isn’t Sky News a Murdoch run news org? I know the aus one is very right leaning

This photo takes me back to when I’d make mock environments in Unreal or Unity engines

Rendered for me fine on Jerboa

Maybe for home users. Working at an MSP, I can’t see small to medium sized businesses making any changes here anytime soon, especially those that use specialized software built only for Windows.

I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help

Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?

I actually found an old /home drive of mine this week where I had exactly this setup, so painful.

That is a slight exaggeration, but I know here in Australia if you went out in 42C with no sun protection then yeah, you’re not having a good time and it is a risk to life.

To play devils advocate, I’d say that the bigger issue is that Linus ended up in the terminal to start with, when he had no idea what he was doing in there.

If Linux is to hit the masses, then a beginner friendly distro should have the convention to install apps be by GUI instead of TUI, and guides should be updated to reflect this. That GUI-based installer should see that the “Yes, do as I say” prompt was triggered and in a clear and concise way, inform the user that important packages will be removed if they continue and they should not.

Effectively just having a much better interface for the user is what I’m saying.

I bought a wireless cheap brand one from Officeworks in Australia for $20AUD to see if I liked the form factor.

I did so I ultimately went and bought my Logitech Lift which has been great for study and general use, although I still go for my traditional gaming mouse over it if I’m gaming.

Well I’ve already got my existing 64GB iPad 2 which is downgraded to iOS 6 and it’s essentially a giant old game console, full of old iOS games and emulators.

The iPad 3 I got today works well as a second display (via TwomonUSB) so it will take that role from my iPad 2. Having a touchscreen portable monitor is just severely underrated. It’ll mostly be at work with Teams on it, and occasionally with my study laptop as a portable second display.

The other two iPads are both Air 1st gens. One of them will be used just as a device for me to watch YouTube and browse Lemmy on in bed while my main phone charges.

The other one I’m yet to do anything with but I do like the ideas others have commented. Might be used as a self hosting dashboard showing uptime, usage stats, internet reliability, something like that. May also prompt me to actually set up a self hosted NVR

I love messing around with technology that’s not old enough to be considered vintage, not new enough to be considered usable, just this odd in the middle obsolete stuff.

So you bet your ass I’m spending my weekend on the three old iPads I got from my work and finding ways to utilize them.

So that should it end up rolling onto it’s roof it can still win the street race

If you really want to be pedantic… that’s not even the Microsoft logo to begin with. Microsoft didn’t use the Windows logo for their own company logo, at least during that time period.

Oh, and that’s Windows Vista’s logo anyway.

Same here in QLD, Australia

What you can’t see is that’s only about 6% printed

It’s actually astonishing to me how much better Linux deals with updates compared to macOS and Windows. “Oh, updates are installed, and you just need to restart whatever I updated if it’s currently running.”

Sometimes it does have its moments though, like when it updates some core package and changes its config in such a way that the next boot doesn’t go into a GUI, but I think it’s also fair to point out Windows has had those too. And macOS High Sierra with the performance and security issues it initially had on release won’t go unmentioned by me either.

I’m relieved to see some sane responses in that thread (although not from OP…)
