I’m using the apps: both Drive and Photos, at least. Works very well for me. For backup, I do a physical backup daily to an attached external hard drive, and weekly to a remote cloud option

It might not solve all your needs, or your use case specifically, but I’ve got myself a Synology NAS and that has been a solid alternative to Google Photos for me.

Spot on. And as a result I have moved as much as possible away from Google myself. Email, Drive, Photos, Search etc. I’m happy

They’re worth a lot if you’re laundering money

What do you mean? You didnt go out and spend all your money on reproducable jpegs? Whats wrong with you?

Feels like a stretch. Elaborate?

Support is important, but being a PC, you can get that from 3rd party solutions like ChimeraOS

Mostly I’m just enjoying all the competition in this sector - it’s good for consumers

I came across this insane opinion piece the other day: https://www.laptopmag.com/features/mind-eurown-business-for-the-sake-of-the-iphone-apple-needs-to-fight-back

It’s so surreal, it feels satirical

And you’ll probably want both anyway

I saw a headline about that. Oh man - so much of this unnerves the hell out of me

I’ve just created

• !teaching@lemmy.world and
• !education@lemmy.world

Both can be very active communities once people are there

Reddit most certainly did not win. Win what, anyway? Many long-time users and moderators left the platform.

Very good point. I can imagine that they are currently just trying to prevent a deluge of fully AI generated content with this policy and will then adjust accordingly.

That Ayaneo Air 1S just launched on Indiegogo and has an OLED screen. It’s a stunning piece of kit but I’m not convinced by the battery life, which is why I’d be more interested in the Geek 1S or a different device altogether.

Hmmm…that’s kind of a good insight. I’ve been eyeing the GPD Win Max 2 but maybe even a regular gaming focused notebook would be a nice new toy

Windows generally with custom launchers. They’re PCs, so you can kinda do what you want with them.

Yeah, a hard sell in many areas. I live in Korea, so I actually stream to my Odin Lite from my home PC in most situations, and as a result, the lower performance of the Deck hasn’t been appealing. Now that performance is changing with these alternatives, I’m suddenly much more interested.

For the price, that looks amazing, and its supported by gadgetbridge

I mostly do retro gaming on my handhelds and PC gaming on my home machine but 2023 has brought some incredible portable options. I’m really keen for a powerful PC based handheld, especially with egpu support
