oh yeah that's probably a good idea. When I wrote that section, maybe reviews hadn't released yet or something. Btw, what is improved with the "ACE" models that make them worth it over the SV06 and SV08?
Originally this was a private project I was working was. The idea was when I ever had to buy anything, I wouldn't need to research anything and can just check the ppt. now that I turned it into github pages, I wanted to share it to everyone. However, crossposting 17 times is definitely spam and I'm very sorry about this. if you want me to delete the post, please lmk
Thanks for the criticism! yeah, there is definitely heavy bias in this. I'll try to add some description to why I chose what I chose. I think I did that well when it comes to the "devices" section (I have written the specs of some of the laptops and compared them based on that) but yeah you're right I definitely need to improve on that.
Screenshots of the programs are a good idea too. A lot of the desktop and phone apps were mostly based on my experiences with them and I agree that it's definitely quite biased. Maybe I could extend bestof into being a review site as well, that would be kind of cool and interesting.
oh, and also, bestof isn't yet another suggestion repo, my idea is that it covers a whole lot of different topics from clothing to smart home tech to 3d printers. I've got the breadth of content, but need more depth, as you said! Again, thank you for your time to respond, really appreciate it!
yep ok I'll do that next time. Sorry about the crossposting, my bad! Originally I thought that I should share each category of bestof with their respective communities, but now it just looks like spam (and looking at it, it really is imo)!
yes, but LibreOffice makes more sense for Linux in my opinion. for some weird reason LibreOffice's UI in Windows looks horrible, so for Windows I prefer OnlyOffice. On Linux, LibreOffice's UI is fine, so I prefer that over OnlyOffice for Linux.
probably. I've searched around and there seems to be a few plugins for connecting OVOS with HA. no idea if those let you control devices though. Hopefully OVOS (and others like it) eventually develop into a worthy alternative to Alexa/Google/Siri!
I want to turn this repository eventually into an almost "buyer's guide" of sorts for a wide range of different things It's definitely not there yet, I'm missing quite a few important things and a lot of my picks are probably not actually the best/are biased, but if you think any of my picks are not good, please lmk!
yep, I fixed the typo! I've always thought it was spelt Mastadon. weird. I never used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/whatever even before I knew about the fediverse. I basically only use Mastodon to keep up to date with tech news through following accounts like android authority. Pixelfed I use just to share photos I've captured. Lemmy I use as what it is: a reddit alternative. Never used frendica before, but probably won't try it since I personally have no use for it.
not sure, OVOS and Mycroft were the only two that was mentioned a lot online. There aren't many good voice assistants that aren't Alexa/Google/Siri so those two are your best options
