I'm in the same boat.

Have the 3600 with a 1050ti (!), and its does a good job when I play the 2-3 games I like to play. 32gb for my apps and docker containers. Plenty.

I see no reason to upgrade.

It has always been like this for me. Sticked to a platform until it died and never upgraded (OK ram maybe) until I was forced to.

Cromite.

Snappier than anything else (With real dark mode, adblocker, anti fingerprint and great security).

Never could get used to Firefox on mobile how hard I try.

On Desktop, it's Linux with Librewolf.

Try Cromite.

Good dark mode on webpages. Secure (chrome based) and privacy hardened with adblocker and anti- fingerprint.

No Google crap in it.

And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

So what? I'm sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It's for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don't you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

If you want an "anonymous" chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.

Well, they partly took that "feature" away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

Having said that, I'm using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.

I'm a PC, you're a MAC

More importantly, Meta also has the encryption keys of any WhatsApp conversation.

It's like a fucking META password manager that unlocks your vault.. (...as in your WhatsApp conversations) and locks it when they are done spying, whenever they feel like. Repeatedly.

You have no control, as in a secure private conversation unless you have the keys on your device.

Nice!

Thanks for the info.

Been eying one for quite a while. I have read that the build quality is good too. Along with a good cooling solution.

I'm actually thinking of using it as a replacement for my desktop/gaming machine. I only play 1 or 2 games anyway. Nothing the 780m can't handle with ease. Also planning on 24/7 operation due to the much lower wattage.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently.

How do you like it? I'm planning of buying one and putting Proxmox on it.
