  • Probably any of the ThinkPads I had. They were sturdy and just ran everything I put on them. Second place would be the Dell XPS 13, I like it because it is very small and light, but in the one I have now they already had to replace the motherboard after a month and when holding it with one hand it bends and sometimes does a click on the trackpad, but I don't want to send it in a second time because I normally don't use it like that.

  • It's like 8 years ago or so, I had the InfinityBook with a skylake processor.

    Bluetooth stopped working, send it in then it worked and stopped again, then send it in and it worked and stopped again.

    The microphone had broken noises, tested it even under windows to be sure it's a hardware problem.

    Discoloration where the hands are left and right of the trackpad.

    Plastic bezel around the screen fell off, the tape was bad quality.

    Ah I wrote it down last year here:

  • The thing is that they only need to release the source code to a user of their installer. Also, perhaps they got a special exception from the original author like dynamically linked Linux drivers.

  • I really wonder if they got any better, I had such a bad time with my tuxodo computer, had to send it for repair twice and replaced it with a used ThinkPad after less than a year.

  • Yeah something like the CX22 https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/ which is € 4.51 / month is enough for lemmy.

    What I do instead is I host a series of services on my VPS and I pay about 20 EUR/month

    • my ruby on rails website + blog
    • my old PHP website + blog
    • another old PHP blog
    • my sisters PHP website
    • my sisters static website
    • Firefox Sync server
    • my bands static website
    • a matrix server with some bridges
    • a syncthing instance
    • a TTRSS instance
    • another static website

    and I probably forgot some things.

  • I'm paying for the hosting of my single user instance.

  • I also really wonder, they say face recognition and ML categorization happen on the edge. I guess this would drain the battery quite a lot doing it for the 800 GB and it will take forever.

  • I have around 800 GB of photos from me, my dad and my fiance. That would be $ 20 a month. Ok, still not bad, I don't think I could get it much cheaper on a VPS.

    For now what I'm doing is running https://immich.app on my laptop at home with a connected external USB drive. It's not e2e encrypted, just with ssl on https. But other than that it seems to have similar functionality.

  • The pictures are in the blog :(

  • I edited the post and added what our daughter wrote about her experience too.

  • Hi, yeah I did yesterday and asked them to put their other Albums on Bandcamp too.

  • Pro tip: delete the app on your phone. Needing to put in the website into the browser breaks the misscle memory and you can then easier replace it with something else.

  • There are several reasons why I don't want a physical CD:

    I have no space for it

    I don't want to carry it when I move

    It's a lot of work to sell it

    I need to pay shipment around the world to Korea

    The production and shipment creates unnecessary CO2, so it's even bad for the environment

  • I'm having a backup in a external hard USB hard drive, off site on a Synology at my parent's house, and then I sync the music to my two phones, two laptops and to my server. I guess this is enough ^^

  • There are several reasons why I don't want a physical CD:

    1. I have no space for it

  • That's actually a great idea!

  • Yeah exactly, Jeff Bezos really doesn't need more of my money. I wish bands would sell their music on their website somehow, like with stripe or something like that.

  • Thanks everyone for offering the albums to me. I looked around and I seem to be able to download them from YouTube too.

    I was genuenly trying to find something like Bandcamp which would have more bands, because the next one is Paramore which I'd like to get their latest album. I at least hope that some of the money would go to the artists to make more music in the future.
