It’s a bit more complex than that. The straight forks are fine for now, but the real concern would be if Gecko gets changed significantly.

Floorp is good

The panels all come from two producers (really just one for the very good ones). So, pick whoever you can get the best deal on for your needed featureset and never connect it to the internet.

That’s more what a consultant is. A “Fractional C[insert function here]O is permanent or at least long-term. It just means the firm doesn’t have the resources and need for a full-time executive in that role. I’ve worked with fractional CTO, CIO, CFO, and CMO executives at different companies and they’ve all been required to have the company, industry, market, etc. knowledge that a non-fractional employee would. Honestly, this concept has been wonderful for small to midsize companies.

They’d have to exclude sanctioned VPN traffic, or the entire financial system doesn’t work at all.

Almost all retailers inventory on consignment. So, no.

Yup. This is the meme of a kind of person who is “tech savvy” as an affectation they use to adorn their personality. It’s nothing more, with no deeper thought involved.

Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

Journalism’s not dead. The fact of the matter is that people don’t want to read journalism, they want propaganda and tabloid; if this wasn’t true ProPublica would have the readership that the Sun does.

Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.

Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.

Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin’s entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.

They’re not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don’t take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin’s a clearly superior choice.

Most Garmin watches do this and they offer a modern featureset.

Several dictionary words in series cannot be “easily brute forced.”

You’re out of you’re depth and saying stupid things.

Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.

I mean, yeah. Russia has been a Chinese vassal state since Covid.

Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.

Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.
