In the end, it was petroleum, this article even says so at the end.

Jojoba only provided an additive, it's not the base. The base is still petroleum.

Mailbox.org.

It's worth paying for a service rather than trust an org that's been less than direct with us.

(Mailbox has a free tier that's limited).

Mozilla needs to fix their poor image before trying email.

Frankly, after the last few years I don't trust them with a browser, let alone email.

Not happening. I already pay for an email service that has been privacy centric from the start, and has none of the bad news Mozilla does.

Mozilla has flat out lied to us about changes in Firefox with "No, you just misunderstood what we're doing" . Why should anyone trust them with email?

Pound sand Mozilla.

Haha, nicely done. I had to work harder and harder to read it.

Well, they'd be perfectly average then, right? 😁

If you can get the pack apart, I'd just rebuild it. Replacement cells are as little as $2 each.

Lol, Play is an exploit.

After 30 years in IT, I've seen 100x more systems taken down by updates than by exploits.

Actually, I've never had a system taken down by an exploit, 100% of outages have been caused by borked updates or changes.

I've had friends who's clients have been taken hostage by exploits, and 100% of those have been because of poor security practices and phishing - neither of which is preventable by updates.

Here's a question, if almost no-one sideloads or uses FDroid, where do people get the millions of malicious apps from? Play Store.

So where's the problem again? Oh, yea, Play Store.

Why does Play need Play Protect if practically all apps come from Play Store?

"Politically active" yet knows nothing about Cambridge Analytica 15 years ago. 🤦🏼

Ah, direct from Convoy. Kinda obvious, haha. Thanks

Nah, then stuff breaks.

At idle, SSD is usually better (like you said if the SSD has proper power management, and that takes research to know).

Spinning platters are generally still better for power per gig/terabyte, because write time they consume less power than SSD.

I dont really look at drive power consumption, because even with ~10 drives running in my environment, a single cpu doing anything moderate blows away their power consumption numbers (I've tested, not that it was needed, heat dissipation alone makes it clear).

I have a ten-year old 5 drive NAS that runs 24/7, and it's barely above room temp. Average draw is a few watts (the number was so low I put it out of my mind, maybe 5 watts - Raspberry Pi territory).

My SFF desktop is 12w at idle, with either 2 small SSDs (500GB each) or a single large drive (12TB). So much for SSD having better idle power.

SSD isn't necessarily less energy hungry than spinning platter.

It really depends on the specific units and use patterns.

Generally SSD has better idle power, and HD has better read and write power, but that doesn't even always hold true.

If your device sits idle long enough, SSD is better for power, but the write time to get to idle could easily consume the power differential.
