For some it stems from living through the early years of smartphones with single core CPUs, only enough RAM to keep one app open at a time, and interactions that were a complete choppy laggy mess.

Back then every new (non-budget) phone upgrade was a ridiculously big jump in performance. If you lived through that era it became a somewhat normal thing to do every couple of years assuming you had the means. I think many phone buyers today are still repeating that old behavior of thinking "OMG I can't wait to use the next model that will be 5x better than this old one" but truly those days are long gone.

Now we look forward to only slightly (single digit percentage) increases in performance. And most new features get back ported to older models so you don't even have a software reason to upgrade unless your model is no longer supported.

    Why not just classify them as mopeds? Mopeds have been around for ages, started out as motorized bicycles, are limited to around 28mph, and have standard age, and license requirements. You have to get a license, and plates. I think there is an insurance requirement also.

    I feel like applying all the same guidelines to e-bikes would go a long way to resolve the chaos they have been causing.

    Obviously there would need to be some new parameters around what exactly qualifies and all that.

    I use it and it works great for me. My use case is I have several users which backup our mobile phones into Immich. Then I created an additional "user" that is more like a service account. Under this extra account I have it set to scan an external path which I a drive where we upload everything from a DSLR camera. Then I share this users library with my main account so I can browse our DSLR images while on the go through Immich.

    I use Brevo.com which gives a generous 300 emails per day limit on the free plan.

    I will say that the web portal is a bit confusing but once you set it up you basically never need to go there again.

    I agree with you but also about 90% of watching on my instance happens on smart TV's. So even though I would like to have oidc supported for the occasional phone/pc user I would still need something basic that a TV can use.
