Yes. Macrumors here says “don’t buy” [0], but only because they tend to recommend only if tech is “new”. I have this ATv gen and it’s not perfect, but is really the best streaming box, having used roku and nvidia shield. PS: get the version with wired ethernet if you can…wifi works, but no surprise that wired is more solid.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, these are used all over the city to, well, deliver cargo.
Then, annually they have a fun cargo-bike race called "Svajerløb" [0]
The event is based on traditional races that took place between the 1930s and 1960s. In the race, riders typically complete four laps - the first lap ridden with an empty cargo bike, then stopping to load up their bikes with cargo before completing three more laps with the full load. [1]
Steve Wozniak's startup, Privateer[0], was originally created to clean up space junk, but it seems now their “mission” is to develop better tracking of objects in space, and to use this data to help avert disastrous collisions.
Seems oxymoronic as Meta doesn’t allow interoperability in order to maintain its walled garden.
Apple does the same but it’s generally done in the space of privacy- security and privacy going hand in hand.
I have little faith in government, any government, when it comes to technology. Either through ignorance or motive, they usually make decisions that result in less privacy, less security.
Linked pic is from 2010, but article says they still use the C64s. I'd love for someone to go there and get a new pic, maybe a quick interview on how it's going using C64 in today's age. Can they link to modern payment systems, f.ex.?
Yes. But as another poster mentioned, can your grandmother setup (and also maintain) a windows computer, keeping it free from malware etc.? I posit no.
Can they maintain and keep a Mac (no installation needed) updated and free from malware? Updates sure, but malware free? I posit no.
Now to Linux. My small sample size evidence is that more than 5+ yrs ago, I set up my GPs with Linux Mint, and they use it without any issues. Since they don’t have root, and it’s Linux, the malware footprint is near enough to zero making them as safe as possible from anything bad. It also helps to educate them about not trusting unsolicited emails, etc.—-But, although related, is for a diff discussion.
When I periodically visit them, I check that updates are done.
I’ve had zero complaints from them.
So yes… grandparents can not only use, but love Linux!
I wear a Citizen “AT” [1] wristwatch daily. It not only keeps perfect time, because of its daily sync at 2am to WWVB, but it also never needs a battery change since it self charges from light. These two features make it the perfect zero maintenance timepiece IMHO, and it looks stylish too.
This method, using a bare git repo, is really an elegant, efficient, and easy way to manage one's dotfiles.
In the end, how you do it is personal pref. I liken it to editor wars, vim vs emacs, etc. What works for me, may not work for you.
PS: these are my dotfiles (link is my repo), and I've used this method for some 5 plus yrs now and it works well for me. I really like how easy it is to spool up a new linux instance and have my config ready to go in mere seconds.
I've not used branches yet, for different OS'en, so my zshrc and bashrc have conditional checks for OS. I will be looking at using branches in the future since it does sound like it would make shell rc files cleaner.
Seems maybe author did not know that this is already built into vim?:
"easy vim", aka evim, or "vim -y". see "man vim"
That said, if modeless editor you are looking for... then vim is not the editor you're looking for. It goes against what vim is, and hamstrings it. Learning vim is a journey, and once comfort sets in, you will understand why, why vim.
