Posteo.de. Been using them for years, and are coulden’t be more happy.

Also went a while before I heard it. Here are some links:

The word on the street is that Peter Thiel and friends wan’t it for a tech bro network state, with no regulation on AI (as in LLMs) and other tech fantasies.

Don’t have a link, but it’s public known that Thiel and friends wan’t it, and that they seem to have the man in power in on it.

Be a Orange guy supporter or give in. But that dosen’t take away from the now former head doing the right thing, despite the very real chance of getting fired.

Great news with the report on fair use. Fingers crossed that it haves an effect on lawsuits.

Sad about the firing. But good to see that the head of US Copyright Office didn’t gave in to preasure, and doing the right thing.

Found the Thinkpad collector who is afraid of competition. Just kidding… 🙂

I haven’t had much experience with the newer models, so what you say may be true.

Don’t know if it’s a good deal.

As others here I will recommend also looking at other brands. I think that you get the best deal by buying used business laptops. They are cheap, good quality, built to last and often repairable.

Brand-wise I think Dell is OK, while Lenovo Thinkpads series T, X, W and carbon are even better choices, IMO.

EDIT: Spelling.

I think bluetooth or 2.4 mhz is better than IR. Coming to think of it mine is a china something with keyboard on the side and remote on the other using 2.4 mhz. So point of line is not needed which is nice.

+1 Kodi. Been running it for ages on an old laptop with a infared remote with USB dongle. Kodi is set to autostart. Pretty hands off and can stream to it from local sources using Kore for android.

EDIT: Can stream from local AND online sources using Kore ex Newpipe (Youtube).

Nice. Upgraded a Thinkpad, installed Linux Mint and gave it to my dad. I have not heard anything from him about it for a couple of months. Was reminded of it with your post.

So wrote him right now and asked how it was going, and he replied that he loved it and uses it every day.

And that he had not had any problems he could not solve on his own. He’s 70 and a windows only heavy user - until now 🙂

As you said. Compelety painless.

I don’t where you live. But almost all of bigtech US cloud is problematic (Read: Illegal to use) for storing or processing of Personal information according to the GDPR if you’re based in the EU. Don’t know about HIPPA and other non-EU legislation. But almost all cloudservices use US bigtech as a subprocessor under the hood. Which means that the use of AI and cloud is most likely not GDPR-complaint. Which you could mention to the right people and hope they listen.

Edit: It’s illegal to use for the processing of the patients PII, because of transfer to insecure third countries and because bigtech uses the data for their own purposes without any legal basis.

Edit 2: The same is the case with your, and your colleagues PII.

In my opinion privacy and GDPR is the same in this case. I think most public authorities is required to have a DPO, fx hospitals or the relevant health authority. The DPO can help answer your and your bosses questions on the mentioned questions.

Hope you figure it out.

Often thought of the same thing. So leaving this comment here in case someone got a good solution that don’t involve big tech.

When I get the time my plan is to read up on big techs solutions, fx Google and Apple, who as I understand can give your family access under certain conditions if your’ve passed.

EDIT: And replicate their solution using FOSS / self hosting.
