The other day I saw 500W+ panels for under 100€ at a local building and DIY big box store, and Inverters 5Kw ( I think) for around 1000€. Battery prices haven’t dropped much, so installation and batteries are the major cost here.

The problem is not science, the problem is not tech, the problem is people, making decisions, like making Fukushima’s sea barriers 3 or 4 meters shorter than worse case scenario because money. Nuclear can be safe. People and money make it unsafe.

The 5 is already somewhat enshittified. The Non Standard USB power that makes you buy a propietary PS is one example (which I found out after buying one for my son).
I do small business support. Everytime I do a windows install I do a ninite install of a bunch of things. Everything is always in the set. The fucntionality should have been in windows since NTFS was introduced
I’m hoping. I’ve been a Serif customer since the 00’s. Not much we can do except be very vocal, and remind Serif and Canva that if they go the Adobe route, they’ll risk becoming irrelevant. Difference is their power.
Is canva very enshittified?
Yes, delay the submarine metamorphosis.
Not open source, but pro grade, often nicer to work with than adobe stuff. The Affinity suite. Pay once per major revision. Decent upgrade plans. No subscription. Designer, photo and publisher.
You can have the backups encrypted and stored in a google account.
Trustworthy Microsoft is an oxymoron
Not a musician. Isn’t ubuntu studio optimized for these kind of uses?
My 2 LGs do use WebOS, but I never use it. I have a raspberry pi for one, and the other one is my laptops second screen, so everything is fed from the laptop. I never see the TV’s OS
Warranty is not the only problem. I ordered a Vivobook for a client. Upon arrival, I opened it up to see if there was space for a rusty disk. No space. Opening that thing was scary. I had the impression that it was going to break any minute. The thing is so flimsy it’s scary. I feels like it’s made out of a plastic pizza container and aluminum foil.
Thankfully we are in Europe, warranties here have teeth, and are 2 years minimum by law.
Asus used to be the Toyota of computing.
Nowadays I would recommend MSI or Lenovo.
Is every open source app audited? Look at the XZ near disaster. And XZ is pretty critical software. Open source doesn’t mean it’s safe by default, it means that the code can be read.
Not particularly, but it happens.
In a big iron shop?everything gets tested, dry run, etc, but shit happens, hence backups
Soldering is not the problem, unless its smd or tiny, its getting a non standard usb interface.
Google is devolving into pre-Bing Yahoo
