71·4 days agoThese days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.
For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.
CAD on Linux sucks. Most is made as Windows only, and many people have tried running it through Wine (Bottles) or other janky methods. Don’t even try it.
How is gaming not a problem any more, but CAD is? Shouldn’t the same tools work to enable both?
Too much to ask that an Apple AI knows the basic features of the Apple device it’s running on?
Weird hill to die on, but you do you.
Same, once they have been cold their protective coating can suffer, so keep that in mind and don’t leave them out at a later time.
OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn’t be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.
That’s the point everyone making these memes is missing. If they actually had nukes already, none of this would be happening.
This offensive is supposed to make sure they don’t develop nuclear weapons, whether the reasoning is fabricated or not.
It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.
That’s how they’ll know whose assets to liquidate when the world wakes up.

whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software
Does that sound like a lot to you?
Considering the use I got out of it, even if I switch to something else tomorrow, the cost for the lifetime pass was peanuts. I’m sure others making that decision based on the situation today will feel the same in a few years. If Plex seems like the best solution today it’s not going to fall off the cliff before $120 were worth it.
Not like FOSS projects are immune to bad decisions, and then you either fork it yourself or depend on unpaid volunteers to keep the version you like alive. There’s always some risk.
Compound bow in Crysis, I think it was the third game.
Flak Cannon in Unreal Tournament.
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 obviously.
Was 700, should have been 755… 777 is more like the “just put sudo in front of the command” nuclear option.
It was unnecessarily complex to accommodate their cloud infrastructure setup.
Please elaborate how you needed to “accommodate their cloud infrastructure setup”.
When I set my server up years ago all I did was log in on the web interface. Literally as simple as any other service.
I set Plex up as an inexperienced selfhoster in 2020 and it was easy.
Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.
