This thing is so recent it could play MP3s… The first Discman was released in 1984. I’m actually really confused why they picked such a recent version, the technology was almost phased out when this thing was released. FFS the original iPod came out a year before this thing…
My biggest hurdle is honestly that GrapheneOS only supports Pixel phones… I had one once and hated it and honestly don’t know how much of that was because of google’s android or the phone itself and am reluctant to buy a new pixel phone to try GrapheneOS and find out I still hate the hardware. I’ve had a much better “out of the box” experience with Samsung phones (and love that my current one has an sd card slot and headphone jack - but I know that’s pretty much non-existent on new phones) but am finding they are so locked down and closed off by Samsung you can’t really put anything else on it and have it work properly as far as I can tell.
It’s time for a new phone, and I’m honestly not sure what to do… The easy route seems like getting a pixel and putting GrapheneOS on it before doing anything else, but I just don’t super trust that the hardware isn’t going to drive me nuts…
In my experience with them, MSI laptops tend to run quite hot in general, your OS probably isn’t going to fix it. You can try one of those laptop cooling plates, basically a mesh platform with fans, ensuring cool air is always available to the laptop intakes, but it isn’t exactly a perfect solution.
Really it just needs more cooling capacity - they seem to cut razor close to the amount needed in their designs so when eventually cooling becomes less efficient either through fans getting tired/clogged or thermal paste/pads breaking down, it will not keep up.
Blessed ape the poop in spipit. That’s my new favorite response to anything.
You can’t plagiarize mechanics because you cannot copyright mechanics… And you don’t want to live in a world where you can. Imagine if the first company to make a first person shooter game copyrighted it… Or if Nintendo owned the rights to all 2d side scrolling games… Gaming would have never grown to what it is today.
Hell, even board games would have been crippled by this kind of copyright.

2 things: First, Windows 12 being subscription only has been “debunked” multiple times, as the source for the article that shouted that from the rooftops was code for Windows 11 - which MS is currently working to have a subscription cloud-based version of for enterprise customers. Second, MS is 100% working on and going to launch cloud based Windows for enterprise customers “soon”. It can be largely cloud based, and all that has to be installed local is instructions for how to log in and access the cloud during boot, and likely won’t be able to do anything itself if the internet is disconnected.
I think the biggest problem with Linux is that a lot of self-proclaimed “savvy” computer users need to check their ego… It’s either people that have used Linux since 2008 and want to gate-keep the community because their superiority complex is a poorly built house of cards; or it’s people that have only ever used modern windows and think they are good with a computer that went and tried to install Linux and screwed it up because it didn’t work exactly like windows.
Average computer users aren’t comfortable installing windows and do not feel like they can fix it if something goes wrong…
