honeslty if my wife and i didnt play video games as much i probalby would use mac os full time

2021-01-21 02:24:44 UTC  

i'd do the same with linux, i run Manjaro on my laptop that i use for everything but games, which i run on a server/desktop at home

2021-01-21 02:25:28 UTC  

Im in my ubuntu vm pretty much 80% of the day

2021-01-21 02:25:35 UTC  

and then close it down to play video games

2021-01-21 02:26:12 UTC  

plus for work i havent found a half decent microsoft exchange client for linux

2021-01-21 02:31:40 UTC  

not to mention it would probably cost an arm and a leg to get something that could drive my 2 4k displays

2021-01-21 02:32:35 UTC  

for gaming? or just display output?

2021-01-21 02:42:01 UTC  

just display output

2021-01-21 02:42:52 UTC  

although i do game on them

2021-01-21 02:43:22 UTC  

oh i meant getting something mac that could drive 2 4k's

2021-01-21 02:43:38 UTC  

would cost an arm and a leg (i'm assuming)

2021-01-21 02:44:55 UTC  

M1 mac mini should be able to do it if you want the new ones, anything prior with any sort of displayports at all should also be capable of it

2021-01-21 02:45:09 UTC  

remember, their Type C usb are also displayports

2021-01-21 02:51:32 UTC  

for the m1 dual 4k it'l do one over thunderbolt and one over its HDMI 2.0

2021-01-21 03:03:31 UTC  
2021-01-21 13:07:36 UTC  

I havent had good luck with these 4K monitors over HDMI and USB Type C

2021-01-21 13:07:54 UTC  

The screen is noticeably more laggy

2021-01-21 13:08:27 UTC  

With a known good HDMI port, although I think I recently laerned one of the HDMI ports on these monitors does lower framerate so it might be that

@Evelyn S. 🇺🇸 - Have you tried with Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10?

2021-01-21 15:15:13 UTC  

I haven’t, but I’ve considered it. I want to avoid having to restart the computer each time depending on which OS I want to use but I might check it out again

2021-01-21 16:01:44 UTC  

normally don't post links but if you care about browsing privacy https://protonmail.com/blog/best-browser-for-privacy/?fbclid=IwAR1Q5NFUPStcGHpMIzk4EX3-KQwH4xaAjPPGMAORod6JK0e6D-m6xpeDuNk

Short terms:

Use:
1. Brave(Tied)
1. Firefox(tied)
3. Tor(will be the top if used VPN)
4. DuckDuckGo

Don't use:
Google Chrome

2021-01-21 17:03:20 UTC  

Nuc8 or no?

2021-01-21 17:31:40 UTC  

actually I think Searx is better than duckduckgo. try it out, you will be surprised I think.

2021-01-21 17:56:48 UTC  

i tried like 2 years ago Tor and did not liked it. seemed like a 2010 browser filled with spyware to me.

2021-01-21 17:57:23 UTC  

it's very slow, but very god at keeping you from being tracked

2021-01-21 17:57:28 UTC  

from what I've heard

2021-01-21 17:57:49 UTC  

it's not made to be "user friendly" exactly

2021-01-21 18:14:54 UTC  

yea i stick to google chrome for now. used to trust without a concern opera untill i learned it was sold and the chinese that purchased it sold all the users data. then i just got chrome and i dont care what google does with my data. big corps will track you if they truly want it one way or the other. we use MS windows for gods sake. the inventors of stealing data lol

2021-01-21 18:35:14 UTC  

Tor is top if you have VPN.

2021-01-21 18:35:31 UTC  

Some of us use linux

2021-01-21 18:37:19 UTC  

I have chrome installed on my Linux boxes, but I solely for the occasional streaming service that uses DRM. Also in the past to use Flash before that was discontinued at the end of 2020.

2021-01-21 18:37:39 UTC  

I use chrome just for streaming but the rest... Brave or firefox

2021-01-21 18:38:10 UTC  

Tor is only when you get VPN.

2021-01-21 18:38:36 UTC  

Firefox is my go-to browser

2021-01-21 18:39:17 UTC  

What VPN do you use? I use ProtonVPN

2021-01-21 18:46:08 UTC  

we call that telemetry it's less damning

2021-01-21 18:47:55 UTC  

I don't use a VPN right now as I'm searching one like maybe NORDVPN and I'm studying for certifications

2021-01-21 18:49:50 UTC  

All I know is my go-to browser is Brave and Firefox

2021-01-21 19:29:25 UTC  

whyd you post this

2021-01-21 19:30:18 UTC  

😎

2021-01-21 22:33:13 UTC
