I self host rustdesk privately via tailscale and strongly recommend it. I don't always need a desktop but when I do, I'm glad I can use rustdesk.

I have to ask, do you think the websites you use or the places you post run on Windows?

But if I request it there, after its federated everywhere, what happens?

Dude, someone corrected your misinformation and you call them a bully?

My long battery life performant phone running Android with kernel 4.14.116 would like an update but it was abandoned years ago. Which is a shame.

8gb ram 256gb storage and a locked Bootloader. Sad times

The guy said brute force but meant credential stuffing.

Basically using an army of remote compromised devices to use known user name password combinations. If they used the same email and password that was found on another compromise, then their account would successfully be logged in first try from a unique ip each time.

Not to boast MS, but its service life is longer than Linux at 10 years. Lts on Linux is generally at best 8. Ltsc on Windows is much longer. Windows 10 released on 2015 and the ltsc ends at 2027 on the enterprise channel, or 2025 for the consumer general availability.

I'm only commenting because I dislike misinformation more than I dislike MS.

I can't tell if this is furry, or beastiality justification, but this shirt only goes hard for deviants.

Yes, they've been saying it for a year, at this point they're repeating themselves: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/11/nsa-guidance-on-how-to-avoid-software-memory-safety-issues/amp

Yes but also no, but also yes. Here's why:

  • yes: most people don't use cabled headphones
  • no: high quality headphones require a jack
  • yes: those high quality headphones need amplifiers beyond what the phones inbuilt dac can handle

So I'd probably overall argue that those who really care about audio probably have a separate DAC like https://www.techradar.com/audio/hi-fi/ifi-hip-dac-3-review

Which is probably an unpopular opinion.

I'm just going to give you props. I have worked in Managed IT Services for a dozen years and some of the worst clients are construction, engineering and architects who use solidworks, autodesk and archicad products.

You've eaten humble pie and admitted that using computers as a tool, and systems design are different and though you might understand a lot, just like I can build a 3d model, the devil is in the detail.

Building robust solutions that meet your business continuity plans, disaster recovery plans, secure your data for cyber risk and to meet ISO and yet are still somehow usable in a workflow for end users is not something you just pick up as a hobby and implement.

The way I handle technology Lifecycle is in 5 steps: strategy, plan, implement, support, maintain. Each part has distinct requirements and considerations. It's all well and good to implement something but you need to get support when it goes wrong or misbehaves. You need to monitor and report for backups, patching, system alerts. Lots of people might do the implement, but consider the Lifecycle of the solution.

People do these things at home but they're home labbing, they're labs. Production requires more.

Anyway a bunch of people closer to your part of the world will probably help you out here.

I just want to again recognise and compliment you on realising and openly saying you want help rather than just do the usual "oh I know best" that I hear over and over usually just before someone gets ransomed on their never patched log4j using openssl heartbleed publicly exposed server infrastructure.
