Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.

I took the impractical option, but in fairness, only after all other options failed.

Guess you can’t change arseholes but you can sure as shit change houses.

I’m guessing the dog is 14

I think the Austin Allegro would like to challenge you for a car with absolutely zero redeeming qualities.

I use Fentastic skin with Umbrella add-on.

Sorry for the late reploy, but this is what my KODI with trakt looks like on opening the app and the movie section is the same. All widgets are driven by my Trakt account

I accidentally watched YouTube the other night without adblock, OMFG what an experience.

If I can’t watch with adblock I’ll just stop using it, it’s only a rabit hole to waste time for me anyway.

A lot will also depend on your personal usage. Whilst I agree wholeheartedly that Stremio UX is much better that Kodi, out of the box, the one thing that keeps me with Kodi is the fact that it has far superior Trakt integration.

I will admit that Stremio is getting better it’s still a far cry from Kodi with Trakt integration and it’s something I rely heavily on.

That said if Trakt is not your thing then Stremio is probably a better option.

Also, if you’re using RD either with Kodi or Stremio there’s no real need to use a VPN as well as traffic is passed over HTTPS so the ISP only sees that you’re connecting to RD not what you’re doing.

You could try https://2fas.com/ open source mobile application with browser extensions and cloud sync for backups.

Or www.bitwarden.com password manager is also open source and for a small “premium” supports 2FA for mobile/desktop/browser.

The only saving grace with Samsung washing machine was it had two years of warranty and after about the 6th repair in just over 14 months the retailer swapped ot for another brand.

Typing this on a S24 Ultra and have numerous tvs but will shy away from any elctro domestics in the future.

If I even tried to plug a USB into my laptop security would be down on top of me like a ton of the proverbial … the same way that the only true way to be secure is don’t plug into the internet the only way not to piss off corporate is don’t f*ck with their stuff.

MamjorLinux sells its own merch

Probably because the brown envelope wasn’t think enough.

I’m sure for the right “incentive” they’ll happily cooperate.

Good to hear, I’ve not had any issues so far. The only “niggle” I’ve had is when pairing my Bluetooth devices I’ve needed to turn Bluetooth on and off for each pairing bit once done they’ve reconnected fine.

What especially galled me was as I was updating my laptop before flashing to Linux the new outlook will not work unless edge installed, I had just uninstalled that pile of garbage.

Ah well, at least pop_os works great 😃

Thanks. Finally after Mint didn’t recognise my network adaptor I tried Manjaro (everything worked great, but I don’t think I’m ready for Arch) so ended up on Pop_OS … everything works so I’m going to stick with this for now.

My weekend project will be install mint for my first flurry into Linux.

I’m going to set it up for some light gaming and media streaming.

Running on a Dell Latitude 4980, long term hoping to learn enough to set up a home jellyfin server.

What would be good is if you could have a fediverse LDAP like login so you can use your login on any fediverse account and all your post etc link back to that single ID.
