Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.

That’s mostly politics as well.

Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

Excel is a problem since it changes constantly and relies so much on the mouse. I’m a developer and struggle every time I’m forced to use it.

Search engines have also gotten terrible over the last few years so it’s a pretty bad time to learn how to use a computer. Old videos from the 90s and 2000s are great to learn the basics, but unfortunately you can’t really follow along.

Paid courses for the basics of MS office exist, maybe you’ll be able to find one that starts from zero and teaches the basics of using a computer at all.

Yeah we need to stop giving corporations rights that only humans deserve.

Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?

You’re storing unencrypted data on google drive with those backups, so they scan all of your chats. Whether they just look for malware/CSAM or people manually look through your chats is something you’ll never know.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there’s less of them when I use real-time downloading.

Maybe it’s even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn’t run there yet.

I use bluetooth headphones, 300kbps is enough.

Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?

Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something

I have DSlite on my home internet connection, which makes DDNS pretty much impossible. OP should check for that.

DDNS is only required for when you want to share it with other people. For accessing your own stuff from anywhere, there’s tailscale. I set aside 30 minutes to read into it and set it up, but found myself with a working VPN between my phone and PC after just 3 minutes. And it’s completely free for this use case.

Yes, the thruster suit is better than the power armor when you first unlock it. But you’ll eventually get better power armor again so swapping starts to make sense later.

Dyson sphere program. You just need a little bit of space to be able to retroactively add belts into existing stuff because of the 3d belt placement and logistic drones are cheap, so you can ship loads of stuff with them. It lends itself wonderfully to spaghetti factories, which is my favorite kind of factory.

It’s also absolutely beautiful. You can just stop and watch the glowy cubes flow at night or witness an incredible sunrise over the factory. And that gets better as you progress because, well, you’re building a dyson sphere.

So does my steam deck. Even 80 hours into space exploration, it runs without a hitch and the fan is only audible when I ride a rocket to another map.

I tried building a grid with two-lane intersections, my trains weren’t able to plan routes where they need to go around a grid cell and turn around (which was definitely possible without using the same rail twice), then I tried troubleshooting it for 1-2 hours and decided to give up on trains until I need them to bring in ore from far away.

I’d recommend against Sony IEMs. I know multiple people who got theirs replaced under warranty (WF-1000XM4 and 5), one of them twice. They tend to not last for very long.

I have some WH-1000XM4 over-ears and they’re not terrible, but not worth the money either. They need an equalizer to sound decent.

But before you buy anything: Can you wear IEMs comfortably for a long time? I got some weirdly shaped ears and horrible earwax, so I don’t bother with those at all.

Grayjay. It’s still a bit buggy but exactly what you’re looking for.
