If old means 20 year old to you, I would recommend buying used from around 2015 ish. That seems to be the time things started going "smart". Some not too recent cars can be software modded by good techs/tuner shops to disable stop-start and similar. Probably other annoyances too, but I would assume it's very dependent on make, model etc.

These are just the first steps. So far the new gov seems to actually want to follow through with their promises. Which in the longer turn includes changing the election system to avoid a single party 2/3 majority being normal. And other checks and balances will need to be introduced since the fidesz gov gutted and changed everything to favor themselves. So far I am hopeful. We will have to see where the Tisza gov will lead us in the longer term.

I can see you like the game, so I have to ask... Did you find the initial sequences of the base game really slow?

I couldn't really get into AW2. The part where Alan is in the NY metro, changing scenes to get further along got me bored. I just didn't continue it from there The prior parts with the investigations were fun. Does it get better from that point, or am I missing something?

I run F43 KDE on my desktop. I have an amd gpu and ryzen cpu. And I also experience weirdness with display connections.

I used a KVM to switch between my work laptop and personal desktop but since I use Fedora, I can't. I cannot switch back to my desktop. The screen remains blank no matter what I do. I could not figure out if the underlying system is responsive or not.

When booting, it feels like there is a race condition between the gpu drivers maybe and something else. Sometimes I get no image after GRUB. The PW promt for LUKS would be the next step, but the monitor receives no signal and goes to sleep. Reboot fixes it, but sometimes 3 tries are needed.

The keyword here would be empathy if you ask me.

They skirted around it on the official doc. They didn't explicitly say not all 6a devices are affected. They instead say if yours is affected, based on where you got it from and what are the laws in your area, you might be eligible for compensation or free repair.

It is entierly possible that hardware lottery is in play and some batts are feom a different supplyer. From what I gathered.

I think google is banking on the fact that despite all this, people will stay with them and give a very slim discount. But only once they complained loud enough. The do trade-ins all the time.

The thing is, bi-yearly phone replacements are not needed for most people anymore. Recent mid range phones can last double that.

Performance is good enough with modern SOCs. And new sets don't have new essential features, so keeping them alive for cheap is a no brainer for most. Especially if support is promised.

Thanks for the feedback! I am doing the opposite right now funnily enough. Trying to move away from having everything on Truenas as an app because of the host-app communication limitations. I have a bridge network set up but it still has its issues.

I'll need to get some hardware to make this happen. At least to have a PCIe SATA controller I can pass through to a TrueNas VM so I can have everything on one physical host.

Nextcloud is on the list to try. For now syncthing was fixed up for filesync from my shoddy implementation of it yeras ago.

How's your Nextcloud holding up now? I am undecided between a separate host vs the Truenas app. I heard that the TN app likes to break on update but I didn't have the time nor infrastructure to test it thoroughly yet.

I used a lenovo x380 yoga with Fedora. I seldom used it in tablet form, but the keyboard appeared when swiping up from the bottom in GNOME. I did not like it as well as the windows one. I tried KDE as well, I had a better experience there as there are more config options for it. As for drivers and sensors like for the hinge positions, wacom touch stuff all just worked.
