I typically back up everything important on my phone the week before. Then uninstall all Apps I don’t want scanned if needed (password managers, banking, etc.) This allows me to worry slightly less…🤏

Idk, $100 or so for 8th gen Intel isn’t too bad, but this is in the us

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Of your options, I not go with BMW as they are pushing subscriptions based features. In my new car journey I may settle on a low millage model 3 if I can get it with the lithium pack.

On my pixel 7, i see it listed as beta, but not sure how to disable. Can only remove updates.

Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

This is the way.

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

I picked up a pixel 8 pro to replace my 6 pro.

No way! I am totally shocked! /s

Nfc payments keep me chained. I guess i can get a second phone just for setting up a watch, but i don’t want a watch. So i live by not using the default launcher and a vpn. I’m working to change my email provider slowly
