Yeah! It's been great for me. No detection issues or weird bugs. The mobile and TV apps are also great!

My top pick for a Linux laptop would be the Dell XPS 13 9310. It's old I guess, from 2020. But the build quality and Linux support is excellent. You could get a used one from eBay for around 400USD.

Alternatively, maybe you could look for a used Thinkpad X1 Carbon. I've purchased several of those in the past and have had really good experiences with them. The hardware is great and the software support is excellent.

I would avoid Framework. I actually just switched back to the Dell XPS 13 9310 after a year of using the Framework. Linux support on the Framework is just not as good as some other laptops. The biggest con of Framework is the HiDPI display. You will never get the display to look good. You'll have to do a ton of tweaking and debugging—and you'll still have some apps that are blurry or have weirdly sized icons or text. See: https://lemmy.today/post/22761155/13770242

My wife heavily uses her smartphone. Like, she'll work on spreadsheets on her phone instead of grabbing her laptop.

I'm the opposite. I try to use my phone as little as possible.

I mean, the R1 was $200, came with a year of Perplexity, and didn't require a subscription.

The Pin started at $500 and required a subscription, along with a new phone number.

Not that surprised.

I walk through my day and most people’s demeanor hasn’t changed in the slightest

I'm unhappy and angry at the situation. But, am I supposed to mope around all day or have depressing conversations with everyone I meet? Should I start fighting every Trump supporter in my small town?

Yeah, they were definitely down again: https://lemmy.today/post/23792488

And they definitely got spammed again.

 
 

I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?

 
 
 

We are going to go out on a limb here and say that if people are regularly finding techniques to disable AI summaries in Google searches, perhaps that means they do not want them in the first place?

 

Is the DM button called "Privately mention"? Or is that something else?

 

Currently, my email is hosted at Migadu. The email hosting is fine. However, they don't seem to offer strong *DAV support. They don't really advertise it and the little documentation they have says "we offer basic calendar support. Please be aware this is a beta feature and some functionalities are missing".

Is there such a thing as a DAV provider, like email provider, but only for WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV?

Or is the answer just to self host Radicale or sabre?

It seems like if I want better DAV support, I'd have to switch email providers... which is kinda annoying.

I still keep my contacts and calendars on Google because it seems the most stable. I don't care about having the maximum possible privacy, I just care about not losing the data.

Someone told me about etesync, but I didn't like it because it's not DAV and you have to use their client apps.

I'm really surprised that most companies have standardized on DAV for contacts and calendars. That seems great because (theoretically) I can use any client.
