    I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.

    Skiff isn’t compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it’s an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.





  • I am sory for not living in a giant home without any 2.4ghz neighbors around me.

    Also I myself use 2.4ghz for low bandwidth devices, and other connected devices which don’t have 5ghz. And there are also the neighbors who cast their 2.4ghz network they may use how they will around me.

    But I didn’t have many issues on most of the headsets I tried. At least higher end.

    There were still some outliers and with bad unreliable connections, even on high latency (jbl tour one m2 for example).

    Others like corsair headsets had issues at “high” range (like 10-15m through walls), but no issues at close range, but that is expected from their specs.





  • Not really like that.

    Right now it’s not possible to connect a headset/headphone via wifi to a device other than some proprietary things.

    So a general competitor usable on all devices allowing more data transfer for more audio with less compression. I think it could be interesting.

    Not just because it would maybe be better. But because competition on a market is a good thing for the consumer. And push bluetooth maybe further than what it is.

    Tho if by some misunderstanding, the chip used isn’t compatible with bluetooth I’m not very sure… As brands would need to include 2 chips, which increases the cost.






  • System76 is a bit strange. Their laptops are more expensive than other windows brands, while offering Linux. I’m not sure if it’s really worth going with them, as a lot of other laptops ca work with Linux. Tho maybe I missed something about their laptops.

    Framework I think I saw some Poole saying it has some issues running Linux with some component incompatibilities. Tho you may want to do more research, maybe even opening some reddit threads and dodging useless comments.





  • Do you have lots of cash to support the copyright and maintenance fees? The Web archive (I think, or another similar website) got sued for having knowledge and book contents on their website. You can’t just publish hacked books.

    Most likely you would need a way to generate money for a “business”.

    There would be some ways like advertising (can be OK, but not always the best, it depends on how many adds, how scummy ads, and how much tracking/data selling).

    Donations? = pretty much no expected revenue. The amount of revenue you can get is very low.

    Paid features, but what features could be paid while keeping free access?



  • It can be compared and added to the argument of an European country which proposes to scan all photos sent to detect if it contains illegal children photos.

    However, to do so, is a huge privacy issue, and as the ai has a very high risk to not work as expected, a lot of false positives could be sent to be reviewed by a person.
