t0bia_s··on Motorola Signature 27 with GrapheneOS support
Users of GOS probably does not need bunch od RAM and CPU cores anyway. I guess there are not many of those who use OS for privacy and in same time use privacy invasive apps with fancy AI stuffs, bloatware and spyware built in that consumes most of HW resources.
t0bia_s··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Check yourself before make those unverified claims. Kodi is open-source.
t0bia_s··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Projector with media server running Kodi with various plugins. Projector screen is unbreakable by kids or pets and projector itself is high enough to be outside a range of them.

Kodi is controlled by smartphones connected to home network so no need to store one physical remote controller.

Bonus: When you are outside home, you can still control remotely your projector/media server via VPN. Which is handy when you need control over what kids are watching.

Using like this over 6 years now, no complains and any reasons to change. Only disadvantage is that you need to spend one evening by configuration, but then it works as intended.

t0bia_s··on Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament
Competence of democratic politicians is to be liked and get most votes. Usually it means to be without values.

I hope more people will realize that voting for uknown politicians that offers empty promises for artificially made problems means givig up our responsibility and at the end, make things worse as we see in current democratic countries.

What about armageddon? Or heatpocalypse?
t0bia_s··on Europe EV sales rose 70.3% in September, 32.6% of market share
In Czechia businesses can get ~17000€ per EV, free vignettes for EV, cheaper price for charging if you get photovoltaic panels, also donated ~8000€. No wonder that sales goes up when our taxes sponsor EV manufacturing outside EU. And simultaneously automotive in EU dies. Germany is in real trouble.

RTX 5070, 9.6 ms with NR of Optiscaler in Stalker 2. It's payable and I enjoy new visual. Especially shadows and faces are incredibly detailed and precise. Landscapes not so much.

I see no point of continuing in this conversation since you did not read anything in link I posted earlier.
t0bia_s··on Climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat per second
If that means less deaths in global scale, what is wrong with that? What would be ideal situation according to your subjective opinion? More cold areas? More ice? More humidity? Do you actually belive that we should and can change weather? Isn't that against nature?
t0bia_s··on Pirating the Pirates
It's interesting to realise that many old film restorations have better quality then original release. So nowadays we have visually "altered" content that creators was not able to watch.

t0bia_s··on Alibaba open-sources AI model that can detect cancer and nearly 150 conditions

t0bia_s··on Minimal Phone 2
Small size (72mm is maximum width for use by one hand), jack port, physical buttons, aluminium body, open bootloader... Ok, I'm listening. But that price...

Why do we even need 12 GB RAM for distraction free phone? Why there is no microSD port?

t0bia_s··on Backups Aren't Simple
Windows OS is also stone age. There is no simple way to list all user data, or user edited system data for simple backup in readable format.

Btw X100F has Wi-Fi and automated file transfer to PC. But it is faster to transfer it via SD card.

t0bia_s··on Oil Executives Say the Great Fuel Crisis Is Here
Modern building standard constantly changes. Time will show, how good they are.
