A recent famous case that comes to mind is when some independent researchers found an ex-RAF terrorist on the run (or call her whatever your political inclination suits) via facial recognition of photos on social media of a capobeira club. I assume the reference material were some age old photos as she was on the run for decades.

I don't know much about facial recognition but I only heard it works damn well and considering OS and phone manufacturers employing it and are confident enough to not have their users locked out or compromise security let's me assume that it works damn well.

    Don't know about most places but regarding Germany, OP is correct. It's verboten to film property of neighbours, public places or places shared with neighbours with your statically installed surveillance camera. You have to get consent of filming neighbours and you have to put up signs informing persons like delivery drivers that they're getting filmed. That's what my short search resulted in.

    I only played Arma 3 for a very short time online but I spent quite some time in the simulator because I utterly feared to suck online (just like I spent more time with bots in CS2 than online). It was a glorious moment when I took over flying a heli in an online match and successfully transported a crew of players to the target location first try. I died pretty quick in the ensuing urban warfare though.

    I'd wait for sales of your games instead. I tried one fitgirl release on EndeavourOS I had from my Windows days (which ran perfectly on there) recently. Tried with Bottles and Lutris and the latter worked eventually but the performance was subpar and it was quite a hassle to get it to run as I had to try many proton versions with a lot of restarts and black screens. Steam and Heroic games run fine though.

    Do I understand the article and github issue correctly and we can put away the pitchforks already because they fixed the specific part already and it's now even more performant than GNU coreutils?

    Better install Windows 10 IoT and get support till Jan 2032. As a Bonus the, so I heard, best version of Windows 10 will probably phone home minimally to never, won't rearrange your startmenu, won't install Candy Crush again and maybe not reset settings so aggressively after updates. Can imagine stuff like news, wallpaper of the day or the graphics in the search bar is left out too.

    Find installation instructions here. Seems they're inofficially tolerated by Microsoft, because it's hosted on Github and the iso's come from MS, AFAIK. I want to try it on Proxmox where I installed 10 with GPU pass-through recently. Using Linux for 8 years now after being a long time Windows user.

    IIRC they offer a way to install 11 without the hardware restrictions too on above site. I don't know how the gaming situation on 10 (IoT) is and and how much Nvidia, AMD and Intel will still support 10 from now on.

    Edit: corrected send too early cut off sentence

    My motorola broke recently. Was stuck to an older Android, got security patches very seldomly and no Lineage rom existed anyway.

    Had a small Redmi 7A lying around. Installed Lineage and that little thing is running Android 15 now and everything works and feels sufficiently snappy. Antenna podcasts, Drastic DS Emulator (which recently was taken off the store), Nextcloud integration, Aegis Authenticator, Vivaldi, Boost, KDE Connect, DuoLingo, Signal, Mastodon, Organic Maps all run without any hassle. Camera and telephony works perfectly. Will continue using it for a while as I kinda like the form factor and I don't need NFC or other fancy features. A stellar job by LineageOS devs for taking care of such dated hardware. If they accept donations I sure will spare a few eurodollars soon.
