>HP cartridges including the printheads will take a lot of complexity away from the open design.
Yes, but it also means it won't be cheaper or more reliable than a regular printer. The print head is what fails most often and you'll still have to buy a new one.
That might be the case for you. But if I search for USB mouse or keyboard on Amazon they're mostly USB A on the host end. And desktop PCs still have way more USB A than USB C ports. Macs are an exception.
I can vouch for this still not really being true even in Apple-land, since almost any peripheral, external disk, printer, whatever, that I'll want to plug in isn't gonna be from Apple.
In 2026 the single most useful port to add to my Macs would be USB-A, with no close competition. On any device with 2+ USB-C ports, it'd easily be worth sacrificing a USB-C to get a USB-A.
Yes, but we're talking about the ports on the Steam Machine, so the host end is what matters. And gaming peripherals are likely even more skewed towards USB A, because Macs are not the main target for that.
If it has USB-C on one end then you can use a C to C cable or a C to A so it doesn't really matter. It's not a show stopper either way but I've long wanted to slim down my birds nest of cables. Since my laptop and phone are USB-C I can get by with C to C cables only so I probably wouldn't get a computer that required me to double the number of cables I have to keep.
That probably had nothing to do with LibreOffice. Lots of people have had their MS accounts locked for no reason. I guess the automatic abuse detection system just sucks.
My advice is don't use a MS account if you can, at least not for anything critical. You don't need it for development, you can use 3rd party CAs for signatures.
Ryanair FAQ may be out of date then. I have a Ryanair flight booked. In the portal, it says "You must download the Ryanair App. This is the only way to access your digital boarding pass, paper boarding passes are no longer issued or accepted."
I flew with RyanAir once after the rules changed, did online check-in on a computer, at the check-in desk at the airport got a paper boarding pass for free, just had to pretend that my phone died and that I have no charger with me.
People send their private photos to their private cloud backups with the reasonable expectation that those photos remain private and therefore not a privacy violation.
If it transpired Google or Apple had staff looking through people's cloud photo backups, yes this would be considered a violation because "cloud backup" is framed as a personal solution and not a hosting or processing solution.
Yes, actually the AVG (GDPR) is very broad in what it considers personal data.
Sadly that means it is not enforced well since it is too broad to be enforced in a meaningful way. And therefore it is violated A LOT, both by companies or people since no one can be bothered!
AVG (GDPR) includes the following things as personal data: name, address, phone number, passport photo, information about someone's behavior on websites, allergies, customer or staff numbers, recognizable recordings and more.
Rule of thumb, any information that can be used to relate a specific person.
>IMO the security pitchforking on OpenClaw is just so overdone.
Isn't the whole selling point of OpenClaw that you give it valuable (personal) data to work on, which would typically also be processed by 3rd party LLMs?
The security and privacy implications are massive. The only way to use it "safely" is by not giving it much of value.
There's the selling point of using it as a relatively untrustworthy agent that has access to all the resources on a particular computer and limited access to online tools to its name. Essentially like Claude Code or OpenCode but with its own computer, which means it doesn't constantly hit roadblocks when attempting to uselegacy interfaces meant for humans. Which is... most things to do with interfaces, of course.
