While valve has a lot of deserved goodwill, that’s always the problem - they’re well-behaved, but set up in a way in which the customer has no leverage if they where to change their approach tommorow.

Good thing drm-free games run just as well on the steam deck.

Full disk encryption always seemed the most sensible to me, but I’m not sure whether that needs to be decrypted after hibernation.

That’s pretty much my ThinkPad’s Specs. Fine for almost all stuff I have to do on the go (expect CAD, don’t try to run BricsCAD on the thing, it’ll make you go crazy.)

I use full disk encryption on it, as on all my other devices, and it’s fine, speed-wise. The SSD is NVME, not SATA, but I doubt the performance impact would be noticeable on a SATA SSD if that’s what you’ve got.

I get called like once or twice a week, and it’s usually something time sensitive or important. Always found people just flat out refusing to answer the phone crazy.

I mean, they’re pretty old planes. I don’t expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.

Neat, thanks.

A modern replacement for OpenScan. It’s workable, but some features don’t work on Modern Android, and a good Scanner app is probably something most people could use. Could look at Adobe Scan and Office Lens for feature inspiration.

Logseq uses a bit of a different paradigm though. It is cool, but I wouldn’t say it’s a drop in replacement.

Is the obsidian Android App not open source? I thought all their stuff was. Kinda embarrassed I never checked.

Because telling them “I’m not allowed to answer that question.” isn’t going to make them look it up themselves anyway. I mean, you could lie to them, but I can’t imagine that being a popular policy.

Even if the sentiment behind this wasn’t so horrid, this’d still be stupid.

If you wanna court the laptop oem market, windows is the safer bet.

Depending on how in-depth they co-operated with the windows for arm team, keeping some details confidential till launch might have also been easier that way.

It has been many years since I’ve used an OS without full disk encryption, so I can’t really compare, but I have a Windows Partition for some proprietary software that doesn’t like Wine on my PC, and it is really smooth. Might be because it’s on a NVME SSD, though.

Well, it kinda does. If you choose to print your keys, you can use print to file and safe them to the encrypted drive, if you really want to for some reason.

You can mount the efi partition, but I don’t think you can usually mount the uefi or bios. I’ve only ever edited vbios, and haven’t done so in quite some time, but I remember needing to clamp the vbios chip. Dunno if motherboards make their bios chips more accessible, but I kinda doubt it.

Some motherboard support starting bios/uefi updates from a booted OS, so there might be a vector to be found there.

I have been looking for something similar, and my current solution is to use an RSS Client like Feeder, and to subscribe to the RSS Feeds of some quality outlets.

Results in a feed that looks just about like this:

Well, it’s a podcast player. The BBC has podcasts. Don’t think that was what op meant.

I’ve still got my PRS-T2 from Sony, but I am regularly thinking about replacing it, because the low resolution is kinda wearing on me. Maybe with something from boox, they at least seem to not be bound to any store. Kinda pricy, though.

There doesn’t have to be anything wrong with it, though I seem to remember that BitLocker isn’t all that difficult to break if your passphrase isn’t long enough. I just found it a bit weird because unlocking via TPM very much feels like the standard solution under Windows.

Aren’t you using the TPM for full disk encryption, though? Or are you entering your BitLocker Password at every boot?
