They are not that old and we still don’t have proper dashboard integration. I would like directions there rather than on the central console.
Plus there has been nice features trickling to user from release to release.
I like that you can easily use your phone as a clock with a magnetic dock. Translation and text selection in screenshot were nice. Search from picture highlight is great.
Phone screening is nice. Hold for me is nice too. Chat apps have improved by leaps and bounds since Covid. Productivity is now okay-ish at least for joining meetings and reading things.
As someone that plug his phone to a dock from time to time, convergence is nearly there but some things still need polish. I really wish we could get a better version of Office for example.
It’s not ground breaking but meaningful incremental improvements have been there.

The last place I want mobile devs to get their buggy little code is my dashboard. Hell I don't even really want a screen there, but I make an exception for tiny info screens if they come with real gauges on the side. That same shitty little screen currently shows a directional arrow and mile/feet till the next turn passed to it by Carplay/Android Auto. Thanks Ford for getting one small thing right with my E-transit, shitty massive touchscreen radio/AC controls non-withstanding.
Same. Also I don't get using RPis for hosting all kinds of services at home - there are hundreds of mini-pcs on ebay cheaper than Rpi, with more power, more ports, where you can put in a normal SSD drive and RAM, with sturdy factory made enclosure... To me Rpi seems a weird choice unless you are tinkering with the gpio ports.
I have more than 10 servers on Hetzner (some dedicated, some VPS), for 5+ years and the same experience, once one of the dedicated servers had some hardware issues, and an hour later the drives were moved to another box and it was running again. Other than that time, I had downtime only because of my own fault.
Pretty sure over these years AWS has experienced a lot more issues overall.
I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.
They talk about the shell as an IDE. My entire desktop is a 14 year experiment in tuning productivity. My ~/bin/ folder has around 100 scripts and maybe 20 are little scripts i wrote in conjunction with i3. Pretty cool how it stacks up over time
The only cool thing about it is that it’s declarative: nix-darwin everything and a fully working and customized machine is up in 10 minutes with one command
Of course you customize your Debian installation over time.
Over time is the key here. A package here, a small config there, and after some time, that installation becomes so unique that it starts reading your mind.
Non-breaking updates is the icing on the cake.
The biggest point is you install Debian once, or when your processor architecture changes.
Not sure if you mean that sarcastically, but it's a really boring and stable OS, the setup is just a few clicks and hitting enter a few times. I think I haven't even bothered to change the wallpaper on my newest laptop.
There's nothing really special about Debian as well, it could as well be Ubuntu, Mint or anything else that's plug n play. I'm just used to Debian, and it comes with less junk I don't need installed by default.
Not really, I have a Discord account for at least 5 years, I'm a member of several Discord communities and none of them are related to gaming. For me it's kind of a replacement for IRC.
