With how smartly evil these assholes are, I have no issue believing it.

Yup. For sure. Its a matter of when.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll dive into eBay and see what I can find. I want 2 Linux tablets, 1 for myself (reading comics and books since I jumped the Kindle ship long ago, watching my Jellyfin library on the couch, etc),and one to put on the wall as a central command center for my Home assistant.

I really appreciate it, because I did let my hate for Microsoft keep me from ever looking in that direction. Thanks so much bud.

I don't have a tablet precisely for that reason. Until I can have a full Linux driven tablet, I'll keep to phones and computers.

I have a 3 years old System76 Gazelle with an i7 running CachyOS and at the office, also running CachyOS, a Venus UM773 Minisforum with a Ryzen 7735HS.

I had one of these about 10 years ago. Pretty nice little things. However, since moving to Linux exclusively 8 years ago, I don't miss them at all. Plus, with all the publicly facing bullshit from Microsoft, it blows my kind that people will still spend money on this. Not an Apple fan either, but you can get a very powerful Mac for the sake money.

Not if they don't know.

Is it though? Read it all, see if that's really the topic, or just a symptom of the actual issue.

Just like with proprietary software, there's amazingly dependable FOSS software, and there's garbage. In my experience FOSS is much more reliable when compared to it's proprietary counterparts, with very few exceptions. Seems to me that you've been dealing with the wrong FOSS projects.

 

Just as it says in the title. All these companies offering 'privacy' and 'security' services when they can't even keep their own shit secure. At the end of the day, the only chance we have at keeping private and secure is by handling our own data and avoiding all these companies entirely, and hope they all eventually disappear in bankruptcy hell.

Funny how this company is also a 'sponsor' for Have I Been Pwned, yet they are evidently just using that to market themselves to privacy conscious people by having their brand on the site.

These companies never cease to amaze me, and this causes me to trust Have I Been Pwned a bit less in terms of their marketed philosophy vs what they actually are.

I'm just ranting here, because I'm getting increasingly tired of all this shit. Sorry for that.
