Here is Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons latest podcast. He is interviewing a cyber security expert and at the time stamp I gave he talks about the malware briefly. I’ve also read about this in the past as well but can’t supply evidence.

Block the email sender and don’t use the unsubscribe button as that can have malware
Batocera is nice too. It’s half an emulation console and half Kodi. You can tell it to launch Kodi as default too. Whereas LibreElec is only Kodi with a limited gaming ability
Totally agree
Care to elaborate?
One might try KDE Connect, Local Send, and Signal which has a desktop client
That sounds plausible but I’m trying to focus on the positive here
Let’s try and look at silver linings
What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization strategies.
Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo
Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.
This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere
I like getting audio books from Libro.FM. It’s all DRM free and some money gets donated to a bookstore of your choosing.
What would you be referring to?
They make plenty of anti-consumer decisions
Not like the FTC did much to begin with
Oh yeah I did hear that name recently
Two weeks ago it was Jeep. Now it’s Dodge. This is how it creeps. Are both those companies owned by Crystler?
I didn’t mean it to come across as insulting or anything. I meant it all genuinely to be helpful
Or I was busy and gave a quick and still helpful response
I use Mint because I use lots of small project software that tends to only have packages for Debian/Ubuntu. Mint also works very well with an NVIDIA card. I’ve tried other distros but they fail to work well with nvidia.
When I get a new AMD laptop I want to try Vanilla OS as apparently it can use any package format but is also immutable which I like. I just hope they have the KDE Plasma edition out by then because I really don’t enjoy Gnome
