One of the Linux challenge videos. Either part 1 or 2.

The Linux community loves hating on Linus for this, but honestly, it was a bug that popos has now fixed, and the video genuinely shows how difficult Linux can be for the average user.

Almost every place I call has a voice mail limit to prevent people from rambling on. Some places are 60 seconds, some are 120 seconds.

If OPs place is similar, they might only have an hour and a half of work.

There are lots of changes under the hood. Even so, Chrome is at like version 1773574 now, because they threw away the concept of version numbers years ago.

Doesn't Apple already do this? All of the parts on an iPhone are serialized so that any unofficial replacement part causes the device to freak out.

Apple is already ahead on the evil train.

That's how much Samsung S22 Ultra sells for. Or I guess did, before the S23 Ultra came out.

I have their legacy "professional" plan, and the reason it's so expensive is because back then, you could pay to add additional custom domains.

I believe they now removed that feature? I cannot find it anywhere.

Basically I have a bunch of custom domains for personal stuff, work stuff, small home business stuff, etc, and I use ProtonMail to consolidate it all into one inbox.

So while ProtonMail has a bunch of pros, and you'll be able to find them easily, I think it could be more beneficial to tell you about what I would consider cons.

Like what's happening now, they always roll out features to their top tier plans first, which can definitely suck. They absolutely don't care about how much people pay them, they care about the random plan badge associated with the account instead. When they finally added the ability to search for your emails, they rolled it out to visionary members first. Quite insane to have something so basic be locked behind a top tier membership for a limited time.

In my couple years being with them, they've had a few times where their services crapped the bed for multiple days straight. If I remember correctly, last year their mail and calendar services went down on a Monday and took until Wednesday for them to be fully restored. Absolutely destroyed productivity when you are unable to message your clients or check your calendar.

Proton also makes big claims and almost never meets them. They promised a redesign of the Android app for a couple years, and when it finally came, they were over 1 year past their already extended date. The same thing is happening with the new rewrite of the Android app that is supposed to support basic mail features like email threads.

Overall I like their services. The web UI is clean and has super awesome features like keyboard shortcuts to easily manage your email. Their services haven't went down at all, or at least not significantly to my knowledge in 2023 yet, which is good. If you're ignorant, and you don't keep up to date about their new features or planned features, you'll be happy. You really only start to get frustrated when you're waiting for a basic feature and hear it's limited to a higher tier at the moment.

You also have to be okay using their mobile app, as third party mobile email clients don't work. On desktop a few different ones will work, like Thunderbird, but only if you use proton bridge with it.

Nah. My $2000 CAD unlocked directly from Samsung device had ads and bullshit pre-installed apps before I even inserted my SIM into it.

I returned that phone so fast. Never seen anything like that on my Pixel.

So even if another company releases a tracker (like Pebblebee), it still won't work until Google is able to push the necessary updates to Google Play services.

Ya, but if that takes them a few months, my concern is that there will be a better tracker, or these trackers will be on sale or something.

Sucks to have a purchase sit in limbo for an unknown amount of time when tech moves fast.

Oh boy lol. Lemmys growing pains. Perhaps it's because you're using kbin? I don't know, but I can confirm that the link I posted works great on Lemmy web and some android apps with proper link handling.
