I used to work for a Thomann competitor "Musicstore" in ~2005.
The server was some tower server in a back office with a note reminding everyone not to turn it off.
With Thoman being hugged to death right now I would like to think of there being a similar situation (its probably fine, but it made me feel nostalgic).
My mother is very similar to what you have described and mimicks some reponses of her to her ADHD situation pre-diagnosis/post-diagnosis.
She is also ~60 and accomplished in her professional,social and family life.
Pre-diagnosis she would reject suggestsions going into the direction of an ADHD diagnosis, due to her accomplishments being above average --> not possible to have a disability/neuro-divergence.
The achievements are her achievements, but the expense in the context of her capabilities was very high and quite taxing on her.
A diagnosis or even treatment is not making the person normal, but it can help provide that person with options to alleviate the expense of operating differently to the baseline.
I am very happy that you managed to have this success in your life so far and you made that happen.
But under your assumption that you have ADHD you might have made that happen against odds that would have been in part optional if you had access to treatment options.
I am enjoying this Moment in time where I can ask chatgpt product related questions and not get ad biased suggestions.
I think there is ~ half a year left
Currently the most used phones in the US are iphones.
If the actual cost is not hidden behind monthly payments anymore, but some users can not afford iphones, people might start to consider cheaper phone options.
Long term use aside, the amount of life changing (mostly in the bad sense) interactions I had while using alcohol are in a class in its own.
Prison statistics reflect that especially in violent crime.
GraphenOS offers that, since the Playstore/Google Applications are non privileged applications.
Big Plus for being easy installable from the Graphenos Appstore Applications. It currently offers 8 applications and 4 of them are GraphenOS own applications.
Maybe make it into category's where more money equals more guaranteed work time unless specifically excempt due to the nature of the product, but most electronics should be able to work one year at the very least.
In germany and maybe the entire EU there is a one year mandatory time where the manufacturer has to replace/fix the item and after the replace/fix event there is another 2 months on top.
This is my current state of thought. Proprietary software perceives me as an enemy who needs to be locked out of as many features as possible to allow for more money to be extracted out of me while also investing the least amount possible back into the product. The only timeframe where proprietary software is groundbreaking and at the forefront of technology is when they have not yet captured and locked in a large market share.
I use aegis (previously i used andotp) and backup to a folder shared via syncthing.
This allows me to usw OT via andotp -cli in emergency vor to use it in a new phone. For some i also use keepassxc (my credential/information store.) but the important ones.
I prefer yubikeys, but keep totp AS a backup mechanism when i can add two methods.
In any company of this size there is no owner that can decide he cares about anything but money.
There is no actual vision other then short and longterm shareholder value.
"Founders" like Musk and Jobs have a short window where they can move their companies in directions which matches their vision, but that closes quickly after the company goes public and their stock gets diluted enough so that they be ousted.
