I went the lazy route and bought a ready to use (4 bay) Synology NAS. Yes it it proprietary and expensive, but the tools just work out of the box and are easy to maintain.
I'm still rocking an i7-4790K from 2016 with a 3070Ti and 32GB DDR3. While I know my rig is due a refresh, there isn't a game or VR game or program I've thrown at it that it can't handle properly.
But I can't upgrade to Win11 because no TPM 2.0. And I don't have 1000$ to throw in a new mobo + gen 12/13/14 CPU + DDR5 + M.2.
Pros: access to custom firmwares and programs, vastly extending the vanilla console features. For example Bluetooth audio worked years before the official Nintendo patch. Other notable examples: tweaking device performance (CPU/memory), game saves manipulation, webbrowser access.
Cons: don't use it online (including browsing or gaming) or accept the risk of potentially getting the console and the N.account permanently banned. Game and console software updates require special commands. Custom firmware and trying things out isn't particularly easy for non-technical people. Bad manipulations can permanently brick a console, turning it into an expensive paperweight or door stopper.
The Quantum games (Heavy Rain, Beyond:Two Souls, Detroit:Become Human) are great for that. Also the Life Is Strange series. Abzu, Journey are "cinematic games" of their own. Maybe Firewatch? Outer Wilds?
No. I know the Windows snapping to edge, which resizes the window to half screen. That's not what I'm talking about here.
All I want is any program window moved to neatly align with my screen edge and with other wondows without changing size, instead of me having to align them pixel-perfect.
My uneducated guess with zero research into this topic: gig drivers are considered "self employed" and have no employer coverage for time off. They get paid when they work. They don't when they don't.
Click-bait article. Instagram/Meta did not add "terrorist" to user's bio.
Some users say they have been "shadow banned" on Instagram over pro-Palestinian posts. This is when a platform intervenes to make sure posts do not appear in other people's feeds.
They got shadow banned for supporting Palestine (now fixed).
Still fucked up, but not accurate to the article's title.
I Am Not A Lawyer : I presume your best chance of anonymisation will probably be crypto accounts. But even then, platforms must register as authorized banking institutions with ID verification to be able to operate. And I suspect the local state can access that data, for example to track tax evasion.
But you also don't want unauthorized platforms because who knows what will happen to your money.
