Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)
The only span I'm sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don't have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it's all more or less correct
If you want to access your computer from outside your LAN, it would be a good idea to at least secure it or, unfortunately the best, learn to understand what you are doing
Coming back to the topic, though, I'd start with checking these out
When I don't have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago
Characters in the title are not the regular ones making it look like a spam mail, no link, description sounds like corpo LLM. If there really is some podcast somewhere, I think it deserves better
There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I've never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app
Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
It's a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there's practically no way to make sure they aren't selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I'd bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there's also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there's no way to use it without Gapps
FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn't prove anything, of course
We can't inspect the code of the app. So it's probably only as private as other bank apps
most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you're right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it's not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven't used that
Revolut is just another bank. It's just a little less behind the times than most
I'm not sure what "tap to pay" is and I haven't used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it's pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account
But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone
I had similar setup but I was using obsidian and pcloud. Syncing up&down was done by scripts using rclone/roundsync (android). Script part might be harder to achieve using windows
But I came here to say that I finally decided to test syncthing and it's so much easier! And just works. Now pcloud is rather a backup and sharing than gateway
Depends. I've found that it was able to explain to me (about Spanish) why, when and how to use this form or the other. But it won't come up with a plan of lessons. And the level of support will depend on the amount of resources available for the language you want to learn
I think I've found an app some time ago that was just setting up an HTTP file server, so you could share whole directories. But I didn't have use for it and I forgot the name
No, that is actually useful. Blocking access for anonymous users is not
If anything, the boom of LLMs like copilot and chatgpt actually shows the power of open source and open access to information. Underlying algorithms would mean nothing without open source, open access to stackoverflow, forums, etc
That I don't know. I haven't been looking into one-board computers for a while. The one I bought ~10 years ago was running out of juice when I was trying to run Kodi on it last year. Wifi shouldn't be a problem IMO, I've been using mine as torrent downloader and hosted a few university projects (dynamic web apps) on it. The graphics might. I would guess that as long as you find one with decent specs (so probably not the 10$ one) it should work. I'm sure there's someone who is doing exactly that and either could answer what to buy/look for or wrote a blog about it
