Agree - but even for the basic use case, it has not been trouble free for me. With a simple 1080p display on a desktop running LTS Ubuntu on an older 3060:
- I've had updates where stuff just stopped working and I had to futz around with drivers
- Just the fact that you have to 'pick' from a selection of drivers (which one won't you hit issues with for your use case?)
- At least on mine, there have been display glitches on suspend/resume - as it's a desktop, I just leave it running
Just anecdotal, but I never had these issues with the desktop AMD APU I had before it or Intel on board graphics on numerous laptops.
- IBM creates PC and its BIOS
- Phoenix creates clone of BIOS
- At some point, IBM/Lenovo stopped using its own BIOS
- IBM spins out Lenovo
- Lenovo buys Phoenix
In-house firmware, outsource, then in-house again.
Was thinking the same but also wow, but also ibm and Lenovo isn’t the same, Lenovo bought out the thinkpad line, not IBM.
In other news. Phoenix bios/efi and firmware is popular enough in numerous places so wonder where this will go next, Lenovo is already Chinese owned afaik Phoenix just USA but large employee base in Taiwan?
The way Find My has been built, it doesn't really matter what they do with the tags, it's fairly straightforward to build your own tags, or modify tags, that bypass any stalking detection.
A phone's stalking detection just looks for a tag that's not yours that has been around you for a while.
But you can modify a tag such that it selectively powers up, or build a tag that changes identifiers, such that the stalking detection tools don't pick it up.
Story to share - my kids are well into her their teens now, but my youngest, in particular, loved Tux Paint, and used it long before she could read, she'd just click away.
One day, she's playing in Tux Paint, and a print out of her image falls from the sky. We had a desk with shelving. Two shelves above the monitor was our printer. She'd clicked on the print button, without knowing what it would do, or for that matter, even knowing what a printer was or that we had one.
She was SO excited, "look, look, what I was drawing came out on paper from the ceiling"
I have been buying Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes for 20 years.
My first pair, they were just on sale, so I bought them. When they wore out, I bought a different brand/design. And I noticed that I was wearing the completely worn out old pair of Adrenalines more than my new ones - they were just better.
And it makes it easy to buy a replacement - I've just buy another GTS shoe of the same size when the previous one wears out.
Just anecdotal, but I never had these issues with the desktop AMD APU I had before it or Intel on board graphics on numerous laptops.
