Miracast and Chromecast are different. Miracast is the open standard while Chromecast is Google’s proprietary casting protocol.

Roku supports both Miracast and AirPlay, but I don’t think it supports Chromecast.

Despite not being easy to find, most news sites still have RSS feeds. They are great for just getting the news from sources I trust instead of big tech algorithm recommend blogspam. It is also possible to get RSS feeds from subreddits and Mastodon.

It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Google has done price increases the last 2 or 3 years, so they no longer have a price advantage. Samsung also has the same 7 year support window.

Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.

OpenSUSE is the best in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

openSUSE also remains one of the only distributions that have automatic Btrfs snapshots setup out of the box. I am very surprised other distributions have not done the same. Especially Fedora, since they use Btrfs already.

P8P / Tmo - really tired of full bars but no service in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Google has been using a bad modem ever since the Pixel 6, resulting in poor cellular connectivity. Although given how strong the connection looks, this is likely at least partially due to congestion on T-Mobile’s network as well.

Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App? in c/[email protected]

I use Pocket because it is compatible with my Kobo ereader.

VPN by Google One shuts down in c/[email protected]

Everyone already anticipates new Google services to fail. Expecting people to spend hundreds of dollars on content that is locked to a service run by a company that is known for canceling services after a couple of years was always going to fail.

Stadia was essentially just a demo of Google’s cloud capabilities. Even if Stadia was a massive success, it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to Google’s ad revenue and have no impact on stock price.
