Put a sticker on what you don't want stolen saying something along the lines of "airtag equipt." Thieves want easy targets and if there's any reason to think a tracker is hidden within it then they will probably move on

I know of Gradius Galaxies and Iridian II

Been playing Shadow of Mordor again to tie in with Celebrimbor from Rings of Power. However, I found that RoP is terrible but the game is still great.

You can get generally up to PS3 games working on PC and you'd be owning those games too. Value for money is good and all but owning vs leasing is clear cut and I'll take owning my stuff everytime, as that is valuable to me.

Then we return to the topic of not owning your games with Steam. Try installing non Steam games via the Heroic launcher and use Bazzite OS instead

Been replaying Detroit: Become Human. The first time i tired playing years ago on Windows it would crash all the time. Now that I'm on Linux it runs great. I just beat the game amd have to say that it is an absolute masterpiece. So many options to choose from but at least from what I choose the story held together flawlessly.

StarLabs has one with an N200 but that's still dated

I know OpenWRT routers have the feature fyi

Some routers will let you change the power of each frequency so you don't have to disable it.

I know some real estate apps for agents simply don't exist on Android unfortunately but I do believe most people can daily drive Graphene.

It is stated on the linked webpage. I don't appear to loose any speed stated from my ISP either.

Since you are coming at this from a privacy standpoint, I'd suggest a router that runs some type of open source firmware such as OpenWRT. GL.iNet makes some good routers with their own fork of OpenWRT which has a very easy to use and intuitive UI as opposed to flashing OpenWRT to a supported router (setup then is very complicated).

Many routers out there will spy on you, make it difficult or impossible to set up privacy features, and have limited software updates for security patches.

The GL.iNet Flint 2 is a modern, fast router and makes it easy to setup a VPN, supports AdGuard home, and setting custom DNS providers. I've had it since launch and its had numerous updates too.

A VPN and private DNS hide your internet traffic from your ISP who will undoubtedly sell your data. However, a VPN is a transfer of trust so you want to use one that is open source, audited, and has a good track record of not logging any data. IVPN, Mullvad, and Proton are good VPNs. Quad9 and NextDNS are great private DNS providers. AdGuard and PiHole will block ads through various means.

Watch videos from Naomi Brockwell to learn more about all this stuff.

You could maybe use the service AnonShop as mentioned in the Closed NTWRK podcast

I used to have a SanDisk Extreme Portable running Ubuntu. If it was unplugged, my computer would boot Windows and when I plugged in the SSD to USB it would auto boot into Ubuntu. I have no idea how I did it though. It was my first time using Linux and I followed a guide online.

Edit: found the video

Maybe so at this point in history. Don't be surprised when Ford implements it or something similar at a later date. Ads are in most everything now and they have already sold your data to insurance companies.

mint

lemmy.today works just fine

It came in an email.

Thanks. The Companion app never seemed to work on my sandboxed Google Play profile on GrapheneOS however. I've since found Golden Cheetah which is a native Linux program and totally free. Zwift raising their price was the final straw for me to move on and I'm grateful for it.

GC works perfectly on Linux Mint with my Garmin USB ANT+ dongle, Garmin heart rate strap, and retains all the functionality with my Zwift Hub trainer if anyone is curious.
