Generally I don't think Chinese tech is really any worse than "US" (aka; made in china by a US company) tech.

The software running on phones and stuff is likely worse though, some things should be avoided.

is it really so that your Joe Average can’t tell the difference between 1kWh of heat produced by gas compared to electricity?

Most people don't even know what a watt or watt/hour is. And have no idea how energy from gas relates to energy from electricity.

Probably KDE, it's the most 'complete' feeling to me with settings and GUI for most things.

I have a network and SSID just for IoT devices that is 2.4ghz only, and also isolated from my main network.

But creating a new SSID just for those devices on 2.4ghz is the best option IMO. I also set the minimum data rate to 1mbps on that SSID because some IoT devices work a lot better.

Huh? All my docker compose projects work fine 'out of the box', the oldest ones have been stable for years now.

That's just one option, there's also a normal docker image.

Gotcha, try setting up local records on local DNS instead to see if that solves it.

I doubt it, since they keep putting glass on the back of phones too so you're pretty much guaranteed to hit glass when you drop it.

Gotcha, one model for everything would be quite expensive though given all the extra sensors, better displays, solar charging and stuff the higher end ones have yeah?

What kind of apps do you want to use?

These probably seem like dumb questions but the only other smart watch I've used was an android wear model, and that was an absolutely miserable experience compare to my garmin. I never found any apps worth using on it aside from normal built in smartwatch stuff.

Only for records on the public internet. Local DNS records are done locally. Unless you're not using local DNS records or something?

A local service lookup like from your screenshot should be happening directly on the local DNS server, it shouldn't be going out to any upstream DNS server..

What would you like them to add?

Which is odd because their stuff is really good for sensors, and has weeks of battery life vs other smartwatches that struggle to last a day.

That would make more sense than not having a PW manager, sometimes you're just so tired out that you run on autopilot without thinking about things.

I don't think that's been true of windows since maybe 7 onwards, I've swapped windows installs between completely different hardware (Intel > AMD and several generations newer) without any issues, other than licensing freaking out, but that's why other solutions exist lol.

But yeah a USB-C SSD enclosure works fine as a bootable device, so you can have a portable OS with you.

Phishing emails are getting pretty good these days, and fairly well targeted too. I get some at work that are fairly convincing, emulating emails from services we actually use.

However...

"Hunt clicked on the phishing email, which led him to enter his credentials and one-time passcode into a hacker-controlled login page."

Using a password manager should have prevented this, or at least make it a lot more likely you would realize something is wrong, because it will only enter your credentials on the correct domain name.

I also do the whole "don't click links in emails, go to my bookmark for that service instead" thing as much as I can too. Especially for banking, I never click any link on those messages.

It's good to be aware of and in general treat anything uploaded to the internet as public, but it also is a bug that the software isn't working right.

For windows the powertoys resize extension works great, just a right click option to easily make images smaller.

Sure, it's no different than an internal SSD.

One option is running changedetection.io on your server, it works for basically anything since it's actually loading a full web page and checking for changes.

Nice since it seems like everything these days requires apis and all kinds of BS to use in an app.
