When you got unlimited money, you have a finger in everyone’s pie. An unfortunate reality.

Probably depends on where in the world you travel and if you travel long distance at all/often.

I have also never seen a touch screen on a bus or train, only one time on a plane a long time ago.

Either of us deliberately destroy data: locked up.

Company exec does the same: slap on the butt and a $2 fine.

We should all be on the same playing field!

Hosting on your own hardware is much more fun though! In most cases it’s safer too, you don’t really need to worry about much as long as you dont portforward your ssh port & don’t run programs as root.

I would say it’s cheaper as well, but that depends on how expensive the static ip lease is per month.

The internet is full of bots pounding at your machines to get in. It is only a matter of time until the breach Jellyfin.

If you are talking about brute force attacks for your password, then use a good password… and something like fail2ban to block ips that are spamming you.

This point doesn’t exactly match, but: public services like google auth don’t require users use vpns. They have a lot more money to keep stuff secure, but you may see my point… auth isn’t too trivial of a feature to keep secure nowadays. They implement similar protections, something to block spammers and make users have good passwords (if you dont use a good password, you are still vulnerable on any service).

the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager

I may be misinterpreting you, but I think this is a thing with Dolphin. It has a preview pane, which supports all the file types I commonly interact with (F11), which can be dragged to resize bigger or smaller.

I haven’t used any preview thing on Windows, which is why I think I may be misunderstanding.

Anyways if you haven’t tried Dolphin, maybe it has a solution for you (made by kde project, but I believe it should be installable for any desktop environment).

The problem is that content rights holders setup bots that track who is torrenting media that they own (all the peers they can connect to).

Then they use your ip to ask your ISP to stop you.

As far as i am aware (and possibly wrong), magnet links aren’t any more secure than using a .torrent file, it’s just another form of it that can be easily clicked (or copied) to open in your client (i’ve never looked but it might just be a link containing the info that would be in the torrent file).

Depending on where you live, it may not matter if you don’t use a VPN, you could possibly research what usually happens in your area?

Many people never get warnings, others ignore them and nothing happens.

Usually nothing happens because ISPs don’t care if you torrent, it wastes their time and resources when studios/content owners send dmcas (or whatever) and they have to send a warning. I bet the warnings are just automated for most isps so they can mostly ignore them. ISPs also don’t want to punish their customers because then they’ll lose revenue by cutting you off.

(The ignoring part is heresay, i’m just combining info i’ve heard over the years and experience)

Some (most?) countries it’s not illegal to torrent copyrighted content either, unless you distribute it (seed).

Lol I agree. The value is horrendous when you spec one of their products to have decent storage/ram, but nevertheless can’t fault the speed of their ARM chips.

I have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think).

I don’t think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US.

Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries.

I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.

Hehe that is funny, sadly I think the US is Apples biggest market, so they probably wouldn’t want to let go and give up any marketshare.

US usually is the most important market for most (international) companies I believe.

underpowered trash

I hate to say it, but it’s actually quite powerful trash that they produce.
