Ha. As a cyclist I hear this all the fucking time. Road tax is based on emissions. Regular tax pays for road maintenance. People also forget that the majority of cyclists are also car owners themselves.
Let's face it. The days of having to make a decent game to get sales is dead. Now it's churn out games with in game purchases and add-ons to maximize profit.
I love the internet, but it surely is a shit place right now. It's now just a place to make as much revenue as possible. Going back to a 56k modem would be too painful but man the internet was just so cool back then. No ads, just the feeling of something new and everyone was in on it.
I run Plex, Jellyfin, nginx, nginx proxy manager, AdGuard, portainer, a flame startpage, nextcloud, unifi controller and Wireguard on a Pi4 4GB. I don't really run into any CPU issues. Transcoding video on Jellyfin or Plex though is a no no though.
Pointless fact, I was walking to get lunch from work and saw Chris (the guy from explaining computers) crossing the road. Made me double take. This was a few years back when I first saw his Pi videos.
Honestly. Off the back of this debacle I switched to Firefox and duckduckgo. Previously I used to use the shit out of incognito because I hated that when I searched for something once that I then get that thing popping up everywhere else in ads etc. Since the switch I no longer get the feeling of being stalked.
While I know the internet loves to shit on Boris I will say that this is mirror.co.uk, which is a pretty lousy newspaper, so can hardly be trusted.
I was strongly considering an iPhone this year. It would have been my first time since the iPhone 4S. Ultimately the overall cost of the Pixel 8 was nearly half of what it would have cost me to get the iPhone. I couldn't justify the extra cost for not really gaining anything extra.
Transcoding is basically a no no on the Pi. Without transcoding though it can happily do multiple streams. I've had three or four at once with no issues.
Being at the bottom makes more sense on today's larger phones. I'm just so used to it being at the top it's hard to get used to it being at the bottom of the screen.
As far as I know. We're waiting on Apple to update iOS to locate rogue trackers. Google was holding off on the summer release until this was done. I can't imagine Apple will rush to get this done to slow the release of a competitors product.
I'm far from being privacy conscious as some in this community but just switching to Firefox and Duckduckgo from Chrome and Google has yielded amazing results for me. I no longer feel like everything I do online is being tracked.
