The heavy lid of tariffs 😬

And more importantly, good OPSEC.

Mediocre audio sound quality compared to better codecs out there, but works on almost anything and the patents are expired.

Age-gate

It sucked but it’s over, time to move on.

I don’t have an exhaustive list of all the models, but It’s say that almost all mac without the T2 or secure enclave all have reached end of support and won’t be able to run any OS they still receives security updates. Ventura (macOS 13) will be end of support very soon, so that leaves Sonoma (14), Sequoia (15) and the upcoming Tahoe 26).

I’m pretty sure that by the end of next year, all the Intel-based mac will no longer receive security updates, leaving only the M-based CPU with support.

Technically they do through the Secure Enclave and previously the Apple T2 chip, which is what allow them to lock the device when stolen, or associate a device to an Apple Business Manager account for remote management.

Aurora is my go-to nowadays

Maybe Nebula as a mirror? It’s subscription-based, but I rather put my money there and watch the content ad-free than giving Google my money or ad views.

Legal Eagle, Practical Engineering and some others are putting their video a bit early there compared to their YouTube channels as an incentive to subscribe, and you can often get the yearly subscription 50% off.

Keep flippin’ burgers, Don.

Feature-wise there are some differences, but they both are part of the same fediverse so you’ll have access to the same content.

Personally I am used to the Lemmy UI, and I feel like it’s not as easy to see if a mod report was being taken care of on PieFed vs Lemmy

Makes me sad that Virginia isn’t there anymore to fight :(

So far, none are up there unfortunately.

For that I simply went with a bluetooth beacon compatible with the Google Find My Network. Small, no SIM data plan needed and a battery life of 2 years on a CR2032.

It’s not open source, but the network scale is hard to ignore and I’d rather put more chance of finding my dog if he happens to get lost.

Big government is when it gets in their way to power.

You can give a shot to Gadgetbridge, that’s what I use for most wearables and I know I was able to sync events with my Pebble at the time with it (I actively look for supported devices there before buying)

If they weren’t cowards, they’d add how much is added to the cost due to the tariffs on the price tag.

So it’s toxic in the environment but safe and inert in our bodies? Some people I swear 🫠

Under that rationale, you could be violating copyright law by changing the color balance on your monitor’s settings. 🥴

All that drama and temp ban that could have been avoided by using the block feature 😂
