Is OpenRecall secure as well? One of my biggest problems with MS recall is that it stores all your personal info in plain text.

This is why I don’t use Adobe.
I’m so glad I saw the red flags from earlier and decided to stay far away from anything Adobe.
Anyways, this is the new business tactic. Start stealing confidential information by somehow forcing a new ToS change or update.
Does it utilize the NPU? Can you customize the features at all? I wouldn’t want it erroneously using vast chunks of my CPU for marginal benefit.
From my experience, while LXQt uses ~20-25% less RAM than XFCE, it runs way faster and uses less CPU than XFCE.
I recently took a class on ARM assembly, and yet I don’t even know half of these x86 instructions.
This is one of the areas I see this whole “AI” thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.
Quick correction: Canva is web based so you can use it on Linux no problem.
For me, the Windows software I use are:
That’s pretty much it. I could definitely switch to Linux full time, but Musicbee is soooo good that it feels like a sacrifice.
I don’t think Olive is a good alternative to davinci resolve. First, nothing is good if it crashes a lot. Second, Davinci Resolve is feature rich and super powerful, while Olive is not. The closest FOSS alternative is Kdenlive, but I’d recommend finding a distro that can run Davinci itself, as Davinci does have a native Linux client for some distros.
Rarely, mostly due to accessing a cool website I found a few days ago on the device I am currently using
It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.
What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.
I’ve had game and software ideas swirling around in my brain, but for the longest time I couldn’t program them. But now, I have enough knowledge to build parts of my grand deckbuilding game idea: An arcade style deckbuilding game with strong meta-progression. It’s playable at superspruce.org.
As for some other ideas, including the simple idea of a weighted shuffle music playlist where each song has its own weight, they are still currently out of reach, mostly due to trying to access the filesystem and whatnot. Better than a month ago, where within the last month I found out how to make the browser play music
I currently use a 2021 Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and I really enjoy it. It’s a bit pricey at $1650 MSRP but it comes with a high end all AMD 5900HX, 6800M, 2 SoDIMM slots, and 2 M.2 slots. Plenty of ports: 3x USB-A, 1x USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI, headphone jack, and power jack; I’ve needed all of them and it’s just enough. Quite good battery life for a gaming laptop and supports USB-C charging. I currently dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. Biggest flaws are the preinstalled SSD is crap and there’s no webcam.
Does it support custom playlists where you can “weight” each track and pitchshifting/time stretching? If so, this is enormous. Of all software, it’s Musicbee that’s keeping me tied to Windows more than anything else.
I’m no Linux expert, but I’ve never had any problems with sudo, it just works. Shouldn’t systemd have higher priorities on their mind? This feels like change for the sake of change. And if this does happen, I sincerely hope that it just works, like sudo.
People don’t have brand new laptops all the time. Often, they have crappy 10 year old laptops because they can’t afford anything better, especially in poorer parts of the world.
In MicroSD cards flash is cheap. But unfortunately, most phones don’t come with MicroSD slots anymore, and instead they come with huge storage markups. According to Apple, which controls a big section of the market, a Big Mac gets you a whopping 5GB of storage, that’s if you buy today. But with a 5 year old phone, a Big Mac back then would get you 1GB of storage that you use today. And in many countries, most people make less than a Big Mac per day.
You said you love a system with lots of useful processes running in the background. My comment questions if these useful background processes are really bloat, at least in your system.
Audacity’s implementation is not just clunky, it isn’t good either. Compare that to Music Speed Changer on Android and you’ll hear a huge difference in quality.
If you frequently use the software and there’s no easy alternative, is it really bloat?
30TB? You’re in the 0.0001% for laptop storage. I have more than 98% of people and I have 3TB.
Not everyone is this fortunate. Some people have cheapo laptops with 32GB eMMC. Now, 3GB vs 2.95GB is still negligible, but 4GB vs 5GB is definitely not negligible.
A couple years ago YouTube decided to F up their search. It used to be mostly things you are searching for, now it’s:
20% thing you searched for,
20% Shorts,
10% people also watched,
10% related [extremely tangentially]
10% For You
and 30% ads.
I don’t blame anyone for wanting someone to suggest a link after YT’s search became hot garbage.
