Except, if you run nvidia optimus laptop and have mixed display DPI.

Every few months I try to run Arch on my recent laptop and it’s always a nightmare.

I was hyped that 470 driver would fix wayland in nvidia (the only half decent way to fix mixed DPIs on Linux). Lo and behold, It’s still a buggy mess that made me crawl back to windows.

Maybe on 570 I will be able to use Linux on this laptop, likely never.

Well, another datapoint. Here in Brazil, my family and friends all use iphones but no one uses imessage. Just whatsapp.

Not sure about Android but, for iOS users, it makes no sense trusting open source software. So, even if you choose strongbox or keepassium as they’re open source you’re still trusting some dude as you have no option to verify that the iOS build is the same as the build on github.

This is why I prefer to give my password to a company like Bitwarden and 1Password. At least, they have less incentive to be malicious than random dude on the store.

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone subject themselves to use chrome on iOS? Sync is so important that you deal with the web without content block?
Is it though?

You missed the point. He only need to take one cable with him to charge his pixel and MacBook (not at the same time) you’re suggesting him to take two cables. I will take the first option as I hate having to remember of multiple cables.
