  • Still, a dramatic improvement over Outlook. It's been a while but never seemed to play well. Might set this up

  • This still looks really good!!! Thank you!

  • My question is: While privacy seems to be increased with federated platforms, are they really that much more private? Do bots and web scrapers still track contents of various instances/servers?

    I'm guessing the data can be tracked well enough even though less details about each user are required. Obviously with reddit you can limit only so much info about you with the account. Lemmy and/or other platforms, are they really better?? Sure, maybe not Meta owned, bought and sold for users' data, but likely still data being harvested in some manner.

  • I gave up on RSS a long time ago because Outlook basically just linked a bunch of news articles, didn't really good me anything to read without going externally.

    Are you saying this would take those article details and organize into a usable proper website from multiple sources?

  • No, mSATA looks like m.2 but is functionally different, using SATA data not PCIe.

    If you're using some m.2 to RJ45 adapter, I'm guessing you're limited to the 1Gbs RJ45 bandwidth regardless of the card's technology, unless your Ethernet is 2.5Gb or something faster.

    Even if your m.2 PCIe devices support greater speeds, the adapter itself might have "USB 2.0-like" throughput.

    Best bet it you're looking to add PCIe devices to a supermicro motherboard, buy a m.2 PCIe expansion card to achieve this so you can natively utilize PCIe lanes for the best bandwidth whether it's WiFi, storage, etc.

    Edit: I realize you said additional sata ports which they have PCIe SATA expansion boards too.

  • Oh nice, I guess I didn't notice. I'll check that out, it may have switched automatically with an update.

  • Why would anyone care about Gemini or other AI here? I mean, i get this is the tech Space, but AI=bad.

  • I do like vertical tabs too.. But Firefox has a plugin for that so I've been using Firefox the last year or so and rarely have an issue.

  • I'm very green when it comes to meshtastic. I do want to learn and set all this up.

    Even more so I'd like to do about 5 of these for immediate family. Would be nice to have some sort of preconfigured bundle.

  • I haven't run 16GB RAM SINCE MY 2012 Win8/Ubuntu PC. 3rd gen i7 w DDR3 1600MHz lol.

    Now on 64GB 5600MHz and 12th gen i9. No upgrades any time soon.

  • I would love to see some hybrid cars that run gas get converted to propane (like the rental trucks at Lowe's) so you're now even cleaner and less dependent on fossil fuels (though still reliant on natural gas).

    I would imagine running a Chevy Volt-like vehicle where the gas engine functioned more like a generator, running propane, would get pretty far on a small LPG cylinder!

  • Lithium hadn't really had catastrophic failures itself, I'm speaking more fake from car accidents. Tesla's awfully inaccurate autopilot or self driving or whatever, and when those cells are damaged, they're dangerous.

    Ice engines are mostly explosive in movies lol. I think Mythbusters or some from the show shot at gas tanks that were full and partially filled hoping to ignite.

    I agree on all the energy stuff, were stuck with corporate interests ruining the environment so they can have even more profit!

  • Data centers are absolutely consuming a bunch of power and we're paying for it, I agree!! California suffered brown outs from everyone charging during there day at work or at night. Idk of that's been corrected, but that's also why Trump relaxed coal and oil regulations so we could get enough power-though I hear some data centers are using jet engine turbines to supplement them smh.

    So while batteries can be affordable, lithium is too dangerous, and the technology hasn't quite got to the point for widespread adoption, my opinion. Solid state and sodium ion are better technologies just around the corner that offer loner range, faster charging, and safer in accidents.

  • The grid... Cannot sustain in the US.

  • Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!

  • None I'm aware of. I've uninstalled pretty much every Google app, signed out of gmail acct and am mostly using F-Droid apps since I don't need any "app store" apps. I kept my banking app, but apparently so far doesn't need Google's services bc it still works just fine. My battery, since making that switch, lasts a bit longer without all that stuff running.

    But FYI, I don't have any social media, and I only use WiFi unless I'm on the road. I don't BT to my car but rarely, and I don't need location services. So 1 day+life is easily achievable!

  • Hello from Android 12 lol. My 4yo phone runs just fine!

  • How is this not a violation of GDPR?! "Homeland Security" doesn't need the data, this is thousands of people for under 5 possible threats at most... this is fucking stupid! The game of bribery and backdoor deals of monetizing data keeps spreading, huh?

  • I know that's what you're talking about, and honest to God I'm being serious that it's so offense and disgusting for anyone NOT in gov to support this!! It's THAT fucking crazy!!

    I don't care if you're left or right leaning. This is not a political thing at all, it's purely bowing to the fucking overlords with money who give NO FUCKING SHITS about anyone else!
