Ehhh, you have to spend money on a decent dock to be able to use it with any consistency as a desktop. Sure, software-wise, it’s not a console, it plays PC games.
However, it’s physical form factor is a console. It looks and functions out of the box far more like a Nintendo Switch than a IBM ThinkPad.
It’s literally a gamepad with a screen and no keyboard or mouse. So despite being a PC platform, I would still consider this a “console,” based on outward-facing form factor alone, personally.
The benefit is generally only cosmetic at your end.
As backwards as it sounds, the more you do to try to “anonymize” yourself on the internet, the more you actually stand out… because so few people go out of their way to use anonymization tools, which are easily spotted.
So what happens is your profile goes into the “People Who Like Privacy” bucket, and you get ads related to the fact that you want privacy.
They may not be able to create a profile on “you” speficially with your name, address, email, et cetera, but they will be able to create a general profile for “you” about your preferences, web browser, screen size, geolocation, et cetera.
This might be funnier than all those Facebook accounts with warnings about “I do not authorize anyone to use my photos!”
Because they’re trying to copyright an internet comment that they posted on a service hosted by someone else, with a creative commons license attached. It’s like a step up in knowing how shit works, but still not knowing enough.
If you really want ownership over what you say… don’t post it on the fucking internet.
Despite being very grateful for what this job has done for me and my family, I’m simply not strong enough to keep doing this if it means having to just accept this kind and amount of distress. Perhaps that makes me weak, but I’ve rarely ever really thought otherwise.
I agree with Jocat, this isn’t a sign of weakness.
Can we drop this “gotta be strong” shit when people are literally dealing with thousands of random abusive asshats never leaving them be?
