Offline computing?!

But



Why are they doing that 😅?!
Deliberately making lost media only to sell short time a bit more due to FoMO?


We have policy to have an admin account and a normal business premium (with enterprise windows add-on)
So I enroll them to my main 😂 since we have a hybrid setup, I have like 50 dead objects under my account in intunne (hybrid generets a dead object beside the real one during autopilot)
I just switch the primary user in intune


😂it takes a fucking day to install all updates on the new PCs i set up at my workplace and download speed on our side is definitely not the bottleneck
At least it does the heavy lifting in background so my coworkers don’t realise how slow it is, but maybe it is by design, so that it doesn’t impact workflow 🤷🏻
But definitely not what i call “fast"


Umm, no


When I enroll a new device at work I have literally one day only to let it run through autopilot (hybrid setup) let all policies (GPO and MDM) trigger and install all the updates (windows and vantage (Lenovo))
Ironically this still an improvement over the HP devices filled to the top with slop…
But imagine giving such a device to a new coworker 😂 as MS intends you to do with autopilot (i set it up with my account and switch the primary after all updates are done)


Install Linux
Well, you get such cards free if you have an account at a bank
We have a mixed system here, as contactless pay with cards and the local solution using QR Codes came at a similar time, but local banks did block apple pay and other phone solutions (you had to order a credit card from services like boon to use apple pay). Small events or business like shops on farms have just the QRcode, no terminal.
Later, banks allowed apple pay directly and the terminals got an update to show QRcodes. And the local solution allows bank to bank payments in seconds without fees.
These facts and the case that internet connection is pretty good anywhere here, has let, that most people have the local solution and at least a NFC debit card. And since debit cards now can be added to apple pay, many have this too.
Sadly I know no statistics how well the local solution can hold against the nfc payments
What I know is, that nearly zero people pay with cash anymore


I guess 1$ case for Smartphone or any other 1$ crap Nobody needs…


Maybe, they are just more competent and their secret operations stay more secret


Was born, or it’s light reached earth?


We have already too big cars here in Europe…


PostmarkedOS is a bit frustrating as it makes you jumping through many hoops if you want to install anything not 100% FoSS (due to alpine base)
I personally think arch and mobian are the best options right now, using the phosh UI (I like gnome-mobile as well, but it is not as mobile friendly as phosh)
Now to the hardware part, you have basically two options:
At least this is how I remember it
When we come to App support; you mostly have to rely on webApps for proprietary services like train ticket, uber, etc.
For massages, I would recommend a Matrix server and the various bridges to third party messaging services that exist for it (be aware that some services consider a connection via bridge as incompatible with their ToS and may block you)


Passwords should not exist anymore in 2026 in my opinion (passkey, webAuthIn, OICD, SAML2, etc)


Switzerland: my dad had to go to prison for a limited time for refusing military service and had to do an alternative service as well.
I was able to opt-out military in a normal way (just filling a form) and do the alternative service without going to jail, as this was changed in the time between
But the alternative service are 1.5x times the days you have to serve
I think that only escalates the conflict minimising the probability of a resolve dramatically…
I think what you two need is long honest talk where both parties give their best listening and trying to understand each others feelings and beliefs.
The best method to achieve this is different for any relationship, for some it together at a dire with some beers, for some it is hiking etc. Basically a place where both feel secure and have their privacy together.
