I haven’t met a Linux user that would consider leaving the factory installed OS instead of immediately blowing it out and installing their own

That’s not an effective metric because you don’t know the network speed of the host that the user was downloading from. It’s impossible to tell if the network is slow, or the site they visited was throttled to .5mb. speed tests work because the server you’re downloading from is a known entity

Good idea on theory but it would have to constantly be doing speed tests in the background and those eat up a ton of bandwidth. All the phone knows is what kind of network it’s connected to and what kind of signal strength it has

You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to

Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario

The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.

Yeah, the statute of limitations ran out. Says a lot about our society if publishing publicly funded data has stricter penalties than raping 3 women. Either way the guy is a shit stain rapist and idgaf what happens to him. I’ll save my sympathy for Snowden and Manning who haven’t raped anyone.

If OP, freed from the confines of the corporate security suite, happens to get infected with a firmware or boot partition malware…

Postfix with MTA that filters maybe.

This provides very little of exchange’s functionality. The closest thing I’ve seen in the open source universe is zarafa, which crowbars activesync emulation into an imap/caldav/carddav infrastructure, badly I might add, and with 3-4x the complexity, maintenance cost, and attack surface. I wouldn’t even recommend it for a small business let alone a government agency with all the compliance regulations they have to deal with.

This is one case where Microsoft owns the market because they legitimately have the best tool for the job.

I don’t recommend thinkpads. As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, they don’t allow you to replace your own wifi card. Latitudes have great Linux support, and as a business class machine they’re as reliable and easy to work on as thinkpads

Thinkpads are locked down, the bios will refuse to boot if you install a non-Lenovo wifi card.

Those are called children

Did you just reinvent radial tires and retreads?

You badly need an email client that doesn’t automatically load pictures

It’s not a TV though, it’s a streaming box. If they ever do make an actual TV that’s going to be really confusing.

He’s full of shit, and the people upvoting him don’t know anything about Garmin watches. Garmin doesn’t compete with apple. They don’t want to compete with apple. Garmin doesn’t take the kitchen sink approach that apple/Google/Samsung do. They focus on fitness and battery life, they’re competing with Fitbit. This liar is pulling the old “I like it, therefore it’s the best at everything” trope. He’s a child. Ignore him.

I literally work at Garmin lmao. We don’t need your help. You’re not helping by lying about us.

Garmin seems to be doing fairly well targeting people who want a simpler smartwatch with a focus on fitness and battery life. I don’t don’t know who you think you’re benefitting by lying about their capabilities, but anyone who buys one on your recommendation expecting a feature rich device is going to be sorely disappointed.
