It more akin to having a 15 year period to pick up your Mona Lisa painting replicate after buying it. Although if this was Nintendo’s Mona Lisa, the painting would self destruct if it’s moved to a different wall.

Nintendo usually doesn’t do the right thing, but they kept the wii shop working for around 15 years after the console released, which seems reasonable enough, though for how much hosting costs they should still be offering downloads. IIRC you could store downloaded games on an SD cars so you could make a backup. Now the WiiU and 3DS, their online stuff shuttered too early. If I had bought Mariokart 8 digitally for my WiiU and wanted to redownload it, I would be unable, yet Nindendo still sells the same game on their newer switch store. The only Nintendo games I can say I own are the ones decrypted on my NAS that work with FOSS emulators.
Depending on the use, you may be able to spin then down when not in use, but that’s not always possible for some applications.
Just gotta hope they are not pointing the thing at you…
For me, I found that there were a few channels I subscribe to on youtube that also upload on freetube, so I watch their videos on freetube instead. I also find that the image quality is better than youtube.
I know for me personally, its worth the time to set things up myself since I usually learn something new along the way. If you don’t care about the learning aspect and just want the finished product, paying someone else is probably a good idea.
I personally am migrating accounts and contacts from my gmail address to my own domain set up with Zoho. Pretty cheap for the yearly subscription and I like knowing that my nail is not with an advertising company.
I’m not sure if this is true anymore, but IIRC all embedded youtube videos have no ads. Which would explain why creators can prevent their video being played embedded.
Same reason you use Lemmy over Reddit.
I bought a small APC UPS about a year ago and am glad I did. In my area, very brief outages are somewhat common so a small UPS will work for the majority of outages.
Fair enough.
I propose throwing it in the nearest body of water. Much more budget friendly.
RTranslate is great, though it did sometimes not translate sections of the German text I gave it.
Not anymore. Apple is in the advertising business, albeit less than Google right now.
My understanding of Whatsapp’s data collection is that since the messages are encrypted, Meta “only” profiles you using metadata. If you use a matrix bridge to communicate, they would lose out on data like how you interact with their app and when you open it as well as location data but would still get to know when and who you send messages to.
Can we just keep the stock AOSP ui please? It is great as is.
A download manager I found to work well generally was aria2c. Only really worth it if you are on linux but it is simple yet powerful.
With 4 lane roads and 80 km/h traffic separating anywhere you would want to actually walk.
One of the things Fedora specifically has going for it is the generally newer kernel, which has been important for me in the past.
