I have two machines: - 2014 Mac Mini - HP Pavilion g7 ### Mac Mini 2014: Very
slow, probably can no longer be updated, nor can it run worthwhile programs. ###
HP Pavilion g7 Extremely bulky, chunky, and doesn’t even turn on unless it’s
plugged in. It’s basically a desktop since the battery doesn’t hold a charge. I
put Linux on it (Mint I think) a few months ago as a weekend experiment. ##
Question: What should I do with them? Are they worth salvaging? Should I simply
donate or recycle them? I was thinking I could use at least one of them as a
home media server or something so that I can disconnect my Smart TV from the
internet, but I’m not sure if they will hold or how I would even control them
from my phone (Android) if I’m sitting on the couch. Open to all ideas. I’m
somewhat technical (perhaps far less than the Lemmy community), but I don’t know

Tile/AirTag/Chipolo tracker recommendations for GrapheneOS? - Lemmy.World
I’m looking to put a tracker on my mountain bike. I use GrapheneOS. What are
your recommendations? I’ve heard Life360 (which owns Tile now) is a privacy
nightmare. AirTags are unmanageable without an iPhone. Never heard of Chipolo
until recently. Is there anything for GrapheneOS that would work well? (Also:
Does GrapheneOS have a Find My software equivalent?)

Adobe tells you to use Chrome, not Firefox - Lemmy.World
Friend gave me access to his Adobe account (I’m never giving Adobe money again),
and it looks like they don’t even support Firefox. That means I’m not using even
the one remaining browser-based Adobe service that’s left. Adobe forcing you to
use Chrome instead of Firefox to use their service
