Well the battery in my phone lasted longer than my laptop. The difference : one stayed a long time at 100% the other one is constantly pliged and unplugged with 100%-20%-80%..., but also battery tech and management would be different (maybe).

Letting the battery at 100% stresses it and does degrade it with time, charging and discharging also degrades it. But it would be better for the battery health to keep it in the 80-20%.

However if it is easier to let the device plugged in, maybe check if it can run without a battery, and if not maybe it can be changed? Tho not sure if you can find replacement in some years.

Tho maybe the battery station could also be designed to stay at high charge? It isn't the easiest thing to know how it works and how it is designed.

Then maybe I can make you discover a very nice tool : Winget or chocolatey whichever you want to use. They both can be used in cli.

However, I personally like the WingetUI software. Nice looking and supports winget, chocolatey, scoop and other. It also automatically checks for updates. It can either give you a notification, or maybe even auto update. Tho I'm not sure if it would solve your complete reinstall each time.

To install wingetUI : Search for powershel > open without administrator privilege > type "winget install wingetui" > enter. Follow and read.

Once installed you ca launch it and choose the sources (I recommend selecting winget and chocolatey at least, I like winget better than chocolatey as version numbers are closer to the real one). it also auto updates on launch.

And to install it, just search for it :

You can also install though winget or chocolatey without wingetui, but you'll have to update manually through the cli.

Not sure where winlator 2.0 is...

I only see version 1.1.

But anyway, looks interesting, but with limited reach.

I like Firefox mostly because it's cool to have engine competition. I mostly use the default dark theme. It looks good enough for me. I don't look much at the top when browsing.

On android it's still lagging behind the chromium competition. And having mismatched browsers isn't great for syncing. So I just use Firefox on android too, good enough.

Tho, if miss matching wasn't an issue, personally I think I would use Kiwi browser. It's an open source chromium browser which supports chrome extensions.

It is not for the password manager...

It's just to connect to the google account.

It is not a service to connect to other ones without passwords.

So first, no, all the files should not be accessible : There are special not "files", but keys, like the key used for this method. These keys pose a huge security risk of they are leaked somehow. The key can be something used to encrypt the device/disk, encrypt a connection, and other things associated with encryption.

And because of that security risk, they are often stored in a special chip or simulated chip (like the simulated tpm 2.0 on pc cpu), and not just "stored" so any malware or who knows what can access them just by reading the drive.

Second, the key is never transfered. When you connect to another device, that other device will get another key. Or maybe could it be backed up somehow in case of recovery on another phone? But that would defeat the entire purpose of this.

How Google can do to allow you to connect to another device if the first one is lost, not sure. But it would certainly either ask for a password and a 2fa method.

And it's expected as you still had that device. And it's not the same key, a new key has been created for that new device. Now if that device cannot be accessed?

Nothing of that?

You don't need to export or know what is the key.

The key is different for each device.

You won't need to?

The key is for a single device. Logging in on another one is going to generate another key.

They key is secured with the pin of the device, so when you try to log in, you can use the pin to log in, and not the password.

It can be cracked in less than a second?

If someone never loses their phones, laptop... Maybe it's secure.

But if someone steals it, how secure can it be? Is the key protected by the pin encryption? If so the encryption is now useless.

Here is a French video about Micode interviewing the French DGSE : https://youtu.be/g_jEz6aF2b4?si=-sUAIvDf4F7-7kGc

They crack the phone security in 4 seconds with the pin beeing : Mic0rp2022. The software used is hashcat, an open source tool.

Mot likely it won't need to have chrome. However maybe Google services may be required.

However it is also very likely, if a device cannot support such feature, it will only require a password and 2fa.

Yes and no.

Fsr frame gen was just released. Dlss frame gen wasn't perfect either at release (even now it still has ui issues).

Fsr frame gen for me looks pretty impressive for a rushed release. I'll need to see how it evolves and if amd can solve the antilag+ latency with frame gen and enhance smoothness.

I also want to see how amd can enhance fsr upscaling image quality, as currently the worse image quality compared to dlss frame gen is because of fsr beeing less good than dlss upscaling.

Here is the hardware unboxed analysis of fsr 3 : https://youtu.be/jnUCYHvorrk?si=RXUZMBJXLelM-h2O

For consoles, well it's another reason for devs to create unoptimised games, while giving the 60 fps console players could "finally" experience, and want with the curent gen.

However on another side it's also a way to get better smoothness (well see), at at negligible (for console players) image quality loss. Most console players play on a TV, pretty far from it. So quality won't affect them much.

Circular isn't a great idea, and here are most of the idea why it is not : https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/528821/why-dont-we-have-a-circular-usb-port

USB required to have a stable connexion, as it's a digital signal and not an analog as jack ports, which just sends curent through it. Rotating the connector could maybe introduce issues for signal integrity.

The usb connector has much more connectors than a jack port. It would take a very long hole to fit them all. (usb 3+, usb C...)

Size constraint. USB C is flat, a round port is not. So it's bigger in 1 way, but smaller in the other, and so creates more design challenges.

I disabled their notifications for recommended, and activity in posts I participated to. No need to get spam from there. And as I only post very little now (mostly answered my question myself...), I don't get much of anything as notifications.

Tho I don't uninstall the app as it still has some uses, tho I could use the Web version. But its not fast.

Yeah... It's not really the same.

Python is a programming language, much harder to use than power Querry as power Querry does the programming. There are actions you can do in power Querry, and it will automatically created and adapted to the previous and next step in the M language, tho the next steps aren't automatically changed if there is a breaking change.

Grafana not sure. I am working in accounting. Maybe I can talk to the person who set up power Bi, but not sure if it would be adapted. Currently the tool isn't deployed to clients, but mostly ready for testing.

Most of the time, the cache is limited in space. Unless you need the 1-1.5gB of space, it won't affect much.

For PowerPoint, I guess you would be able to find something which suits your needs, with libreoffice, onlyoffice... And others.

However for my work, there is currently, no alternatives I know to Excel, because of Power Querry. There is also power Bi beeing extremely powerful without alternatives.

For personal use, I don't need much of them so, whatever.
