Do you have a source for the streaming v AI power consumption thing? I don't want to be an ass, just genuinely curious. When I run jellyfin and stream something from my home server, it draws 35 watts. If I run an ai model on my GPU, it draws way more than that.

What do you sign when you start your job?

Honestly never heard of no contract, what country is this?

OPs particular watch (and many others, Garmin included) also supports Galileo, Glonass and Qzss. Same goes for smartphones. The term "GPS" these days is used for all kinds of satellite based positioning, not exclusively the American one.

And I think there's nothing wrong with a little spite in these times. I'd rather my money go to an european company than to an american one, even though some of that money goes to asia further down the supply chain (which it does for almost any electronics, no matter where the company is based)

But I agree your comment about EU production!

That would be huge and would make me and my friends switch from mumble/discord to matrix. However, i fear that high latency may be an issue.

For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.

The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.

Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I'll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)

Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.

Yes your Matrix homeserver does have to run the bridges. So I agree with you - you have to somewhat trust the admins of your Homeserver, or host your own homeserver and bridges. But I understand that the latter is not for everyone.

Which funnily enough, has bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram and some more, meaning you wouldn't have to have as many other clients installed to chat with contacts on those platforms
