Whelp, in this case, China's elite is not invisible. Their citizen know exactly who's the elite controlling the economy.

I'm not so sure about that. China is about to ramp up solar even more. They build a lot of solar and battery-related factories and secured mining rights for solar and battery raw elements in Asia and Africa in the past few years, sometimes to the point of fighting with the displaced locals (China tend to bring their own workers from mainland instead of employing local workers).

Same with EVs. After BYD became the largest EV manufacturer, suddenly EV is not cool anymore. Maybe if car manufacturers focus on making EV affordable instead of cramming more and more luxury features, maybe EV sales in US won't dwindle.

You can even share the same account with your family because your queries are not logged and won't show up in another computer

web rings

We've come, uh, full circle indeed

Because it has all the features I actually want and none of the ones I don't need.

Can you elaborate more on those features? I can't see see how ungoogled chromium is better than Firefox since it removes basic features such as sync.

As for engine-specific features such websql, I don't think it's matter at this point unless you need to use websites that only works on chrome on regular basis. For day-to-day browsing, those chrome-only apis only serves as another data point for analytics providers to do fingerprinting.

My opinion on using chrome-only apis is it's harmful for the web because each website that only works on chromium engine bring the web closer and closer to browser monoculture, just like back then when ie6 dominated the web.

If you worry about Mozilla's stance on privacy, there are also plenty of forks that provide "unmozilla'd" Firefox.

I'm kind of surprised about the downvotes tbh. Hive mind much?

I didn't downvote you btw

People in this thread said their Nvidia shield has ads too now. I guess costing a lot more doesn't guarantee the device won't be updated in the future to include ads.

As for apple tv, is it usable in a household that's primarily use Android? Can you cast stuff from Android apps to it? Or is it only supports airplay from apple devices?

Some pdf are optimized to hell to the point of unused glyphs got removed from the embedded fonts to save spaces. When you edit them, some characters you added won't be rendered if it's missing the glyphs.

Use those professional softwares on a work PC/laptop, and don't use it for anything personal. Use a separate device for your personal use.

Ungoogled chromium is worse than Firefox in term of features, no? Why use it instead of Firefox?

Reminds me of a blind person that received an experimental eye implant to help them see, and the implant suddenly shut down while they're walking outside because the startup went out of business.

Chance that they use a service to send a PDF as fax, and the recipients also use a service to receive fax as pdf attachments sent to their email address.

but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.

Mugging? Drive by shooting? Gang banger cars? Can't look strangers in the eye? Geez where do you guys live? Where I live, the only issue is some dude getting mad with a neighbor for feeding stray cats because the cats shit on his yard.

This is ridiculous. I would understand if this is subsidized devices where you pay less in exchange for having ads. You already bought the device and suddenly it got shittier. Might as well get a free, big brotherly tv with ads from Telly.

Will this really remove the ads? From your link:

In Apps only mode, you don't get personalized recommendations on your home screen. You’ll find a list of installed apps that you can open to find something to watch. You'll also find sponsored content and teasers for popular movies and shows.

It's very limited, but you can use Gimp or Inkscape to edit a pdf in a pinch. IIRC gimp can't edit existing text in pdf, but inkscape can.

Have you checked out this guide for headless server setup with sunshine? https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/about/guides/linux/headless_ssh.html#remote-ssh-headless-setup

Iirc sunshine still need nvfbc to grab the rendered frames.

Use NVIDIA Frame Buffer Capture to capture direct to GPU memory. This is usually the fastest method for NVIDIA cards. For GeForce cards it will only work with drivers patched with nvidia-patch or nvlax.
