For sure, that makes sense. To me, the biggest transition that I expect to see over the next few years in large enterprises will be to ARM-based Snapdragon chips from Intel and AMD. I’m sure some will also go Apple though.

I’m not sure I could see a significant number of enterprises switching to Mac, it’s just too tall of an order. My department definitely wouldn’t have the bandwidth to do controls, policies, service desk retraining, and internal app rewrites.
Personally I have switched to Mac and am very happy. The performance, OS, and power efficiency of the Macs are just excellent. I’ll likely never give up my Android phone.
Maybe they’ll finally pick something important to work on tomorrow. Probably not, but maybe. We still have other issues right? I heard a couple of planes fell out of the sky and eggs are $10 and the ice caps are gonna melt.
Lots of great ideas in this thread. It sounds like you prefer Jellyfin, but I always encourage people to consider Plex. Plex is excellent, and even if you prefer the features or interface of Jellyfin, you should never expose any application (Plex, Jellyfin, or otherwise) directly to the Internet. This should be non-negotiable. Plex uniquely solves for external access with the mobile/desktop apps and app.plex.tv by brokering client connections into your network without a NAT/PAT on your router or firewall. Plex also supports Google logins, which means that you can now have 2fa and potentially phishing-resistant 2fa if you secure your Google account with a passkey.
At my company we only expose our applications behind a WAF and firewall, and I see that some folks here have recommended Cloudflare. For those who may not know, it is no longer enough to simply rely on a firewall. When your application is built with components that may become vulnerable over time, it’s critical to use a WAF.
Please start with Maine and New Hampshire, I have been practicing my accent for years.
I think an EMP can be triggered by things other than a bomb.
Other forms of electromagnetic warfare also exist which target the drones wireless signal to the operator. Some tanks now have these devices mounted to them. This is being countered with the use of fiber optic canisters with huge lengths of hair-thin fiber cable coiled inside. The drone would still likely be susceptible to an EMP, but as you stated an EMP is really not practical, as it disrupts all electronics even your own.
What about having to switch from a $32/user/month license to a $52/user/month license for just one or two features out of the dozens you end up paying for?
I just did my GMRS a few months ago. That site is a dumpster fire.
Lucky for now he’s just a rapist in a diaper
I checked my Viva insights last week and learned that I had 118 meetings over the last 4 weeks. Tank is empty, y’all are getting best effort.
How many more times am I going to see this same title before X implodes?
I’m not so sure about those sticks. The placement seems very low and it throws off the balance of the other buttons.
I believe this option just came to my Pixel 7 a few weeks back.
Ah I did not know about Resolve on Linux. Capture One would have been my biggest issue then.
Apple sure did do a great job with the M series, and the fact that their laptop line can have such impressive performance without looking like an alien space ship means that I can easily take editing on the go with the same media catalogs from my USB-C thunderbolt drives without running into directory mapping issues when I switch back and forth.
My aging windows tower and retired work laptop were both struggling to keep up with my photo and video editing. Linux asnt an option for Capture One and Davinci Resolve, and the writing was on the wall for what Windows is becoming.
Combined with the failures in Intel Raptor/Alder lake CPUs, I took an unexpected leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini.
Apple is not a perfect company, but this new machine processes video faster than anything I’ve ever used, and for the first time since the 2010s it has replaceable (proprietary) storage.
Hah, yes that was an odd placement. It seems like a non issue though.
I very reluctantly put a new mac mini on order last Sunday. I didn’t feel great about it but I was feeling done with Windows for a bit at least for home use.
I’ve had an Android since probably 2012. It has been nice to see the OS become so mature, and security has been getting increasing attention over the last few years. I don’t know iPhone as well, so I will speak more on my experience with Android.
Brand Families: Many excellent brands exist, but I will really only consider what I think of as the top two - Google and Samsung. I’ve had the Pixel 3, 5, 7 and my girlfriend has had the 4a and 8. The experience on a Google branded phone is, in my opinion, the best way to experience Android. The Samsung phones definitely keep up with the Pixel line, but the UI feels chaotic to me. Pixel Android is clean.
Work App Experience: My job is in IT for a government contractor, and my email is configured in a Microsoft Intune container. This feature simply does not work in non-stock OS’s, so I wouldn’t count on being able to use Graphene. Play store is required, as the Play Store sets up the secure container. This may sound like a downside, but to me it’s preferable over relying on Microsoft for this. The secure container works excellent and allows me to shut off all of my work apps with one click. If I was ever fired, my job could wipe the container without wiping my personal data. This is a huge benefit to me. Earlier this year we had an employee stealing data and when we issues the remote wipe command to their iPhone it wiped EVERYTHING.
Play Store: It’s very ad heavy. I typically know what I am looking for before I venture into the Play store.
**De-Googling: ** I use Firefox Mobile with uBlock (yes it works on mobile) and am working my way towards Proton services (drive, email, password manager, VPN, etc).
Overall Experience: I own several Android gaming handhelds, an Android audio player, and my Pixel 7. I will probably stick with Android for the foreseeable future. Android is flexible, mature, fast, and secure. My cameras are excellent and really only fall apart when zooming. Newer Pixel phones improve this experience.
Wasn’t it ARM doing the licensing shenanigans here? I’ve got no real skin in the game for either, but companies with IP to license seem to have become a commodity, and price themselves out of practicality. For that reason I tend to like when they lose their battles. On this one specifically, I was hoping for Qualcomm to win, but only because they’re cranking out these incredible laptop processors, showing Intel what a windows laptop on ARM can be - fast, cool, all day battery.
