I'll elaborate for him/her: mesh devices sold by untrusted companies with a profit model will almost surely be collecting your data.
The problem is not "mesh", it is the companies using a new, cool, buzzword to sell their spyware that is the problem.
They are basically enhanced repeaters that don't require a seperate network access point.
If you get a device that is primarily marketed as basic hardware, like the Asus router, you are more likely to avoid the collection. Bonus points if you can flash FOSS software to it, also like Asus, so yiu know it is clean. Regardless, use a VPN for external communications.
My home is small enough that mesh is unnecessary, but I'd buy another Asus device for mesh if it were necessary.
I'm confused. Authy is just a 2FA client. There's half a dozen in fdroid. I use FreeOTC myself. Are graphene users unable to use anything else?
Well, i haven't neen much of a gamer for years (got too adicted to WoW), but just started again this year. I am amazed by Skyrim, and am now modding it up.
I also just got Cyberpunk 2077, and will get into it soon.
It's configured to run at the native resolution of the device, and looks good, but I'm not sure it is really at 4k.
Skyrim performs flawlessly, but Baldur's Gate gets sbout 15 fps at this rez, so I have to lower the graphics setting. I'm nesr endgame, so there is a lot of city animation.
I can't speak on multiplayer experiences, but i have several emulators set up on my OLED deck. GameCube, N64, switch, ps2. They work well, and i have a 3DO pro2 i use while it's docked to my 4k tv, sound through a surround sound bar with woofer - amazing sound. I mostly run skyrim and Balder's Gate 3 at the moment, but i enjoyed BotW and my son likes sonic.
Yep, it's that easy. I have it on my pixel 2xl, degoogled and it's still usable {android 14)
I'm late to the comment board, but I had to say something. I was amazed when one day my broken Balders' Gate III P22 install suddenly not only worked, but worked with Vulkan. Until now, I figured it was an improvement to the Proton-GE or Experimental that came down around that time. Anyway, when I loaded my game (in the underdark) on my OLED, I was shocked at the improvement.
Not only was the framerate closer to 40+ vs 28-30, but it was vibrant. The resolution appeared to be better, too. It was gratifying to see it looked better than on my ancient Lenovo gaming laptop (circa 2016), which, to my surprise, handled it quite well considering the age of the NVidia card.
I don't know, but there might be pdf viewers that permit editing layers. Try LibreOffice Draw or gscan2pdf. Maybe The Gimp can do it.
No, you aren't. You just haven't been conditioned your whole life to accept 100% surveillance.
