Works fine on an 11th Gen i5. Not fast but not slow

Crazy. There are already millions of Bitcoin wallet apps for small amounts and quick transfers. And anyone smart is storing significant amounts on hardware wallets.

Release the Linux Drive app please

As a web dev we do try to accommodate userCSS for accessibility reasons but often font sizes are tuned to what they are for a reason. I’d guess there’s a line height issue here.

I had a 2023 hire VW Caddy while mine was getting repaired and it had real buttons on the steering wheel thankfully. The climate control was all on a touchscreen though which was awful. At least they had a button next to the wheel that would set it to demist the windscreen (change the blowers, heat and fan to Max) so you could do that without crashing.

Was so glad to get mine back with actual controls.

There are some data centres in the UK that use the waste heat to heat the local swimming pool. Seems a good idea, we need compute and we need heat, why not do both at once?

Surely it’s not too much of a stretch to have datacentres contributing to local district heating systems either?

Also no one ever mentions that the industries are building products for the public. They don’t just release CO2 and use electricity for fun lol

I don’t disagree with the theory but I’ve been getting barely a day of battery life since I started buying smartphones 15 years ago. As processor efficiencies are made, they waste all the power elsewhere.

I want to know how long a Nexus 5 would last with a modern battery and CPU and modem.

For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I’m predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I’d happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.

There are a number of GNOME extensions to make it behave almost exactly like KDE if that’s what you’re after

Yes but if you torrent a movie just for yourself to watch, you’re distributing it to hundreds of people, so it’s way worse

I think this is a bit unfair. Most Google Takeout requests are fulfilled in seconds or minutes. Obviously collating 100GB of photos into a zip takes time.

And it’s not googles fault you have internet issues: even a fairly modest 20Mbps internet connection can do 50GB in 6h. If you have outages that’s on your ISP not Google. As others have said, have it download to a VPS or Dropbox etc then sync it from there. Or call your ISP and tell them to sort your line out, I’ve had 100℅ uptime on my VDSL copper line for over 2 years.

I was able to use Google Takeout and my relatively modest 50Mbps connection to successfully Takeout 200GB of data in a couple of days.

This is where the physical write protect notch on SD cards would be useful.

GrapheneOS is the most secure mobile OS except things like Ubuntu Touch, or using throwaway phones etc which obviously don’t support the apps you need to exist in society these days.

Cheers, currently grabbed Ubuntu, Fedora, GParted, and Kali.

Original Zip link is dead but someone in the comments recreated it. No idea if they’re any good, hopefully I’ll never look at them

Why not both? I’m not lacking in storage on either the USB or the phone.

Sure, for devices that already are logged in then yes. But to log into my Proton Drive I have to enter my password and authenticate with my Yubikey and it might not be a trusted computer, or the internet connection might be slow. And my self hosted services including my Seafile are behind a VPN so I’d have to log into my VPN on that PC to access them. I definitely transfer files by USB on occasion.

I guess I can put a VPN config file on my USB in the encrypted folder so I can connect to it from any trusted PC

My phone that has no connection, or any USB A / C device that’s around? Not saying its likely

I’ll encrypt anything vaguely private. Honestly its a useful way of me not losing it around the house too, I must have 3 or 4 USB sticks in the house but when I need to install an ISO I can never find any

Well I carry it anyway for impromptu file transfers. I’ve just added 1gig of survival PDFs. Probably never need them but who knows
