Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

Because it isn't anything new.

Definitely make sure your GPU supports 8k at reasonable refresh rates before buying anything. During the early days of 4k, monitor makers would get a lot of unhappy customers who learned the hard way that their macbook only does 4k at 30hz.

There's a solution: Charge the customer once for the hardware and then add a monthly fee to be able to use all of it. Sony and Microsoft have great success with that.

Can you Alt+F4 with one hand? If not, it's a yes from me.

Yeah we need to stop giving corporations rights that only humans deserve.

Irgendwie haben es die Chinesen mit ungefragten Annäherungen in schwerem Gerät.

Sind deshalb auch SUVs dort so beliebt?

lemmy.sdf.org is rock solid. I have an account there for when feddit.de has issues.

Thanks, I've been looking for a comparison like that but search engines have just gotten ridiculously bad. /e/ slacking on the webview updates is interesting and steers me away from it.

I'm leaning towards the fairphone right now because it's cheaper at 256GB and not smaller than my current phone. DivestOS looks like it does most of what grapheneOS would do for me.

As always: If your phone is still fine to use, that's a question worth asking. But if it's no longer getting security updates or there's another reason to not use it anymore, save yourself the hassle and buy a new one now.

Buying old android phones used to be a no-go because of the very limited update period, but the S23 will get 5 years so that's fine.

Not sure of what prices are like in the UK. Over here in germany I usually use geizhals.de to check trends. They also have the geizhals.eu site, which just shows german stuff for me. Maybe they also have UK prices.
