Okay, it now seems to happen more frequently.

Man, I had so many issues related to standby and VRR seemingly caused by the amdgpu driver most of the time that I'll definitely reevaluate whether an AMD GPU is the correct choice for Linux in the future.

Oh I'm not trying to imply otherwise.

Suspicious!

You can use most VPN services via the Wireguard or OpenVPN apps though, or even via some of the protocols natively supported by iOS not requiring any third-party app.

They can and they are making their own chip designs to do the job.

The cloud part of Apple Intelligence runs on their own designed hardware.

Kind of relatable. I go with the smaller sizes (regular Pro) as the Max is too large for my relatively small hands to use one-handed but at the same time it's not large enough to enhance what I can do with the device.

So what I do is I always have my phone with me and optionally I take my 11" iPad Pro with me, although I'm hoping they'll release a new iPad mini in October as I'd like something a bit more portable (and I also want the variant with mobile data, while my 11" Pro is Wi-Fi only).

You mean as a phone? Its modem only does data, yeah.

Which isn't even close to an iPad in size, not even the iPad mini in terms of actual screen real estate.

File a bug report. It's an alpha so this is to be expected.

I just use whatever is included with the desktop environment. On KDE and GNOME launching an application involves pressing the Super ("Windows") key, typing the first couple of letters of the application I want to launch and pressing the return key.

I might be missing something here but I don't know how other launchers could possibly make this a simpler process.

  • ASUS' and MSI's motherboards, not AMD's.

Show 'em, that'll teach these nasty fanboys! Reads like writing that got you a big dopamine rush.

I agree, commenting "Use Firefox!!!1!11" on every post remotely related to (other) browsers doesn't help anybody, just like commenting "Use Linux!!!1!11" on every post about a vulnerability in Windows doesn't contribute anything meaningful at all.

Look, I also disagree with what Mozilla is doing here and yes, they 100% deserve the flak they are getting for it. But - like most things in life - it's not black and white. Firefox could still be less intrusive to your privacy than Chrome (I'm not saying it necessarily is, but it could be that way). A different example: your mail provider could track every time you login to your account, or it could analyze and track the content of every email you receive. One is clearly worse than the other, right?

Which browser(s) do you recommend/use?

iOS/iPadOS: Safari + AdGuard (+ Vinegar (optional))

macOS: Safari + AdGuard or Firefox + uBO or FreeTube

 

Would it be possible to update the TestFlight build whenever a new build is pushed to the App Store? This way, TestFlight users won't have to switch to the App Store version because the TestFlight version would always be at least as new.
