That’s what I thought too, after posting my question. I mean I’m all for open source and privacy and fair business but making up your own news doesn’t help anyone. And anyone using a Google product (if that’s the case here I do not know) really has no right to criticise Apple anymore.
Sure the binary is what I run, but I am not following what your point is. If you are paranoid about binaries from an open source project, just compile it yourself. It’s easy. That’s just not an argument against open source.
Check the binary for current outgoing traffic? Sure but instant traffic is not the only way to be tracked, and it is particularly difficult to get an overview for a browser.
A open source project is automatically safer to use. Sure, any binary can be injected with crap but in a closed source app there is really no way to know anything for sure.
Orion is not open source so that’s a no. There is no way to know that what they tell us is true. If they free their code it might become my go to browser as well.
I thought I did and was so against manufacturers removong them. Until I got Airpods. So much better. Perfect ear fit like no other. No cable mess. Instant auto connect between devices. I can ping them. And they’ve held up longer than any cable headphones as well, whose cables always break. And they get tangled. I’ve had the Airpods for three years now and they still hold battery for a full day use for me. Charging them fully takes like 15 minutes.
I’m sure there are similarly good headphones for other brands, this is just my own experience with Airpods.
In case I must have a cable for some reason I can plug in a tiny 3,5mm adapter through the charging port. So that’s not a problem either.
Also the phone has better water and dust resistance with one port less.
You are talking about the “let that sink in” guy, the car tunnel fail guy, the guy who bought into PayPal and Tesla and called them his creations. There is no need to assume a conspiracy, he is just a diamond level asshat and always was. SpaceX/Starship, Neuralink, Solar City, they are ALL absolutely insane and miscalculated projects and if you read about them you see that he is totally incompetent. The big question is why people believe in him.
I strongly recommend watching this channel which has excellent videos on Musk:
I also degoogled some time back when it really occurred to me how much data they had on me. That’s not good for anyone but Google. And there are great alternatives for most things.
Also their inconsistency with their services (abandoning projects they initially promote heavily) just feels insecure and annoying.
I still use their search engine though, the alternatives aren’t there yet. But I use it less and less because it’s so riddled with affiliate sites. And I do use Youtube, it is the best streaming service despite its own set of problems.
I don’t understand much of this stuff but does this mean they (he…) threw a decade of research out the window and instead fed an AI loads of video data to start over from scratch?
Yes, but we are discussing streaming here. I also have several consoles and I play on them but for streaming they’re a really bad (expensive) option for the reason I mentioned: electricity.
You think consoles don’t track you? Also they are extremely wasteful when it comes to power consumption. Better just get a tiny streaming stick or a smart tv.
I just heard on the news the plane was confirmed to have been in Africa just recently. Also please explain, why a trick since both the Russian government and the Wagner leftovers confirmed it? The guy signed his death certificate once he cancelled his little Moscow tour two months ago and we all know it.
Yay! 🥳 So “denazifying” Ukraine while having SS/nazi tattoos says everything about Wagner, Russia, Putin and all of these fascist cowards. Rest in piss, nazi scum!
It’s a nice idea but not possible for everyone. I tried with a Synology NAS but gave up since I do not have a huge living space and any mechanical device with fans and hard drives is just annoyingly loud to me. I want a silent home and that thing was very far from silent even at optimal settings. A 64 bit 8-16 GB RAM device running TrueNAS will also not be silent unless I spent a fortune.
Then comes the price for electricity. I don’t know where you live but where I am it is extremely expensive and prices will continue to rise.
Then there is networking skills. Do I want to expose my home IP and my most private personal data to the internet from home? It might be doable in a somewhat safe way but … not doing it will always be safer. And the time spent setting it up (and constant safety worries) is not negligible.
So I faced reality and sold my NAS. All in all to me it’s better to stay 100% offline with my data and backups (like I do now) or spend the money on some proper E2E cloud service.
