If you wanna take photos off the iPhone, then you can plug that in select the photos in the photos app, and then use the option to export them to files, and then just select the flash drive as the destination.

Since it’s currently working, I don’t want to make any major changes because, as you know, that will be my fault when something doesn’t work as expected.

So, once it has a problem, I’ll switch it to Linux and a crypto minter as a way to fix it.

That is a great question. But, I do not think so, the computer without tpm are just not encrypted at all. I think it is about collecting user data and advertising.

Yeah, I’m thinking it couldn’t be worse than windows is now. It even sometimes will drop wifi connection. So how much worse could Linux be.

My main concern for her is how often she edits documents. Since she gets her pension, she needs to do paperwork for it occasionally, so I don’t want formatting to mess something up for her.

I was just looking at that windows 11 list yesterday. My mother-in-law has a 7th gen i3.

She’s not eligible to get windows 11, but her computer works surprisingly quickly. Well it did after I removed 2 different antivirus programs from it.

But it’s fine for what she uses it for “Netflix”, maybe an occasional dock.

No, Microsoft, I’m not buying her a new computer for that. If ever, she’d just get an iPad.

My wife’s in favor of just letting the computer get infected if it gets infected since it’s just a Netflix machine.

I’m not here to debate whether that’s a good idea or not, but I’m here to say that this is what is going to happen for the majority of people.

I’ll probably end up putting Linux Mint on it if the WiFi card will play nice, but I expect that it will.

The post is weird, I wonder if it’s AI spam.

If there a good enough games out for it, then I might consider getting one when the budget version gets released.

But, we will see not if there is stick drift and stuff like that.

Thanks! I wasn’t even aware of them. I’ll check them out. Too bad they are ending though.

I just try to actively contribute. Especially when I’m debating whether I want to or not.

I don’t really enjoy posting or taking pictures, but I’ve been to around 11 countries and have slowly been uploading to Pixelfed just to contribute to the community.

The day they ask me to scan my face is the day I stop logging in to discord.

That is interesting. I was not aware of that.

Maybe they saw somewhere that people use it to format text and assumed that has something to do with programming.

So, I would need 3 different s3 buckets? One for each system?

If that’s the case, I might go the raspberry pi in a relatives house route.

Thanks! I guess what I read before was either old or just wrong.

The last I looked was that the Pixel was the only phone that allowed you to load a custom rom and relock the bootloader. Other phones kept the bootloader unlocked once it was modded.

So, graphene could be put on those phones if the devs wanted to do it, but it would be less secure since the bootloader would remain unlocked.

Also, supporting a small line a phones is probably infinitely easier than a range, of devices, but it would be nice to have another option. Especially now that the Fairphone pice is reasonable.

I did. Crypto was never user friendly for the average person to use and the way the US gov requires you to report each transaction on your taxes makes it more trouble than it is worth.

AI on the other hand is extremely user friendly and genuinely is of use to the people I know who use it.

I think ip laws are important but need to be changed. One example are things that are funded by tax dollars. They can’t own the ip of something we funded even if partially funded. Maybe let them hold the ip until they recoup their cost.

I also think that it is OK for companies to have ip, but it needs to be shorter. Like, they get 10 years or they earn 10x their cost on developing it.

Im not saying my exact ideas are perfect, but just an example of how ip should not last for as long as it does.

Yeah! I forgot it was on the wiiu that actually how I played it too. I later got a switch and played through it again though.

I know I can do the web for basics stuff, but I need the apps to make payment with qr-codes.

Although, maybe the banks website could word reasonably well in a browser. But, the mobile wallet apps would be a problem I bet.
