I think pixel phones get 7 years of updates now? That seems about right. If the battery doesn't go by then, the GPS does. It is weird to me that the gps fails first.
No complaints here, I use a Framework Desktop with this chip. 32G given to RAM and the rest plays VRAM. Can use large models like 'gpt-oss:120b' fine. Splurged and got a second SSD for mirroring, hoping to speed up reads/model loads. Haven't tested this for efficacy, but it also gives redundancy. Shrugs!
Haven't paid a subscription in years or even signed up for $EMPLOYER offerings; handles the rare outsourcing well enough.
Yes I have. I tried maff, mht, SingleFile and some others over the years. MAFF was actually my goto for many years because it was just a zip container. It felt future-proof for a long time until it wasn't (I needed to manually extract contents to view once the supporting extension was gone).
I seem to recall that MHT caused me a little more of a conversion problem.
It was my concern for future-proofing that eventually led me back to "Save As..".
My first choice is "Save as..." these days because I just want easy long-term access to the content. The content is always the key and picking and choosing which asset to get rid of is fairly easy with this. Sometimes it's just all the JS/trackers/ads, etc..
If "Save as..." fails, I'll try 'Reader Mode' and attempt "Save as.." again (this works pretty well on many sites). As a last resort I'll use SingleFile (which I like too - I tested it on even DOS browsers from the previous century and it passed my testing).
A locally saved SingleFile can be loaded into FF and I can always perform a "Save As..." on it if I wanted to for some reason (eg; smaller file, js-trackers, cleaner HTML, etc).
Their business model is ads, which doesn’t inherently require storing information the government would want. Some of that data probably isn’t useful in that space, others might reduce efficacy by a tiny margin but it wouldn’t shut them down.
Eg I can’t think of a reason why they’d need to store your exact location. Do people target ads down to a precise GPS location, or even a street? I can’t imagine they need things more granular than a ZIP code.
That also doesn’t absolve them of supporting autocracy. The difference between the morally upright and the morally bankrupt is what they do when doing the right thing will cost them, not what they do when the right thing is free.
