How is the management of them ? I see they shout about their app but can I just login using a proper keyboard on a computer to setup things like DHCP easily? How much is hidden behind a subscription service (the biggest frustration with my eero’s currently)?
It cannot - more and more content is coming from AI so they are just “relearning” what one of the AI platforms has already produced… the endgame of that is convergence on nothing new being produced from AI
I bought my iMac in March 2020… since then it’s been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.
It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so 🤷🏻♂️
You sort of didn’t read my whole post and just looked at the last bit - I pay for excellent search results with Kagi, the fact it’s also private (because I pay) is a bonus. However for local searches, I find Kagi is a bit US centric, so a simple !g bang operator gives me a private search through Google which still excels at these types of things… for anyway, who knows what Kagi has up their sleeves 🤷🏻♂️
A VPN with Google would still give me rubbish Google search results and marginal privacy against Google’s algorithms (their fingerprinting likely knows it’s me anyway), and I’d need to keep switching it on and off to make full use of my 1gb/s cable internet speed.
When it came down to it I realised I use search many many many mores times a day than I do Netflix so it became a no brainer for me to use Kagi… it’s funny my wife (who laughs at me for paying for search) was looking for a particular recipe yesterday and she was bouncing around Google unable to find exactly what she wanted… I put it into Kagi and it was literally the first item returned. She still laughs at me 🤷🏻♂️
What I will say is Kagi is pretty useless for local searching though, eg looking for a local business, Google is still much better at that but you can Google through Kagi to help protect privacy.
Clunge
Another vote for Kagi here as well… except for searching for local businesses near where I live, I revert to Google for that, but I Google through Kagi so privacy is somewhat protected
But then you potentially lose fringe interest videos which the creator makes for fun, only expects a thousand views from people with similar fringe interests and isn’t interested in being paid
Aren’t we already doing that though with Mastodon, Lemmy etc?
I’ve been using Kagi for a while and would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone BUT with the caveat if you want to search for a local business or similar, at least here in the UK, then it’s pretty rubbish… I find Google still reigns at that.
Any good guides out there please on getting started with these…?
WinRAR Free Edition
Thank you!
Any of these European or (even better) UK based…?
UK - for me, Five Guys
I suppose the argument would be, yes that’s fine as long as you only use it in India…? 🤷🏻♂️
Again, not saying I agree but it’s hard to make a comparison like that I think.
Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.
The only thing stopping me moving to Brave is the awful bookmark sync implementation… when I used it for a small period in the past it was keeping some I’d long deleted on other devices etc
I also would prefer it to implement bookmark separators (like both Vivaldi and FF do) but I can live without those if they sorted out the sync.
