It works fine with my AMD GPU. Good luck with NVIDIA though.

The private DNS function is also very useful if you manually set it to an ad blocking DNS server.

In that case it would be unusable in any remote area without cell service too.

A fire is what you may get when a hacker decides to turn the oven on for you.

It’s only a matter of time before corporate WANs like Amazon sidewalk and/or the ever decreasing cost of cellular modems and IOT contracts mean they won’t even ask anymore.

Then it's time to heat up the soldering iron and disable the wireless connectivity in hardware.

When are they going to learn that solar roads are never going to be practical?

I wouldn't really trust Intel CPUs after the degradation issues they were having. It will take a while to prove that it's been fixed.

They better not decide to enable it by default.

I think most people wouldn't recognize it as a real Linux distro just like android and chromeos.

Nope, I use Thunderbird.

Of course that all falls apart if the display doesn't use a normal subpixel layout. OLED displays usually have an unsupported subpixel layout. Some of them even have a white subpixel that's not controllable by the computer, which makes subpixel anti-aliasing impossible.

I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It's probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.

Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.

That's the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.

Almost everything I have has a USB A or a DE-9 plug. I don't have a single peripheral that plugs into a USB C port. I don't want to deal with dongles and I'm certainly not going to replace my perfectly good hardware.

You could assume 1080p or higher for desktops, but 1366x768 and 1440x900 are still fairly common on laptops. Not everyone is running brand new hardware. Many people put Linux on their old laptops so they can continue using them. Higher resolutions screens with display scaling are also common on laptops.

Don't use btrfs if you need RAID 5 or 6.

The RAID56 feature provides striping and parity over several devices, same as the traditional RAID5/6. There are some implementation and design deficiencies that make it unreliable for some corner cases and the feature should not be used in production, only for evaluation or testing. The power failure safety for metadata with RAID56 is not 100%.

I don't think I've ever seen a public WiFi network with IPv6 enabled. I usually just use the hotspot on my phone to access my server since my cell carrier provides IPv6. I do have a VPN as a backup though.

I use rsync to transfer files between my VPS and computer. Don't torrent on Oracle Cloud without a VPN, they will terminate your account.

Did you install the libdvdcss package? It's needed to crack the encryption and may not be installed by default due to legal issues.

Single board computers have GPIO and interfaces like SPI and I2C. They also tend to have lower power consumption and can run from 5 volts. If you want to interface with low level hardware or run from batteries, the SBC will usually be the better choice.
