I’m gonna have to go with the one on the left, even though the black level has been lifted a bit. I am looking more at the toolbar across the top and its functionality, which looks easier to use to me.

Doesn’t matter how sleek and shiny something looks if I don’t know how to use it.

About a year ago, I trialed both Proton Mail and Tuta mail. Proton mail worked out better for my needs, but YMMV. 

One nice thing about switching providers is that it gives you the opportunity to rid yourself of years of built-up cruft and spam.

Icarus (Die Another Day) is real?

I use Ventoy to boot everything but macOS. Those installers need their own partitions on the SSD.

Do yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.

My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.

Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

Why would you continuously record? Just record motion events and you won’t need a card that large at all, plus it will last a lot longer.

I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

And after you spend 14 hours filling it with data, it falls out of your shirt pocket when you lean over to tie your shoe, gets caught by a gust of wind, and is gone forever.

I am having this exact same problem on my MacBook Air running Ultramarine Linux, a Fedora derivative.

I finally gave up and plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. Not ideal, but it works.

I’ve gotten shitty performance from 3rd party toner cartridges, so I just stick with the OEM.

I will agree with you that what they did is shitty, though.

I’ve been doing IT for over 25 years. The only printer brand I will buy or recommend for the past 15 years running is Brother.
