How bad is it? My current file server, an old gaming rig, consumes 100w at idle.

That’s very bad haha. Most home servers for personal use are using 7-10w.

Although you’ll have to do the math with your local energy prices to determine how important that is. It’s probably not.

SBC (specifically RPis) got more expensive. x86 got more powerful, more importantly more efficient, and cheaper. Also X86 has more software built for it than ARM.

There are a few X86 SBCs now though.

If you already have SBCs and they’re doing what you need, I see no reason to switch.

Your employer hates them too.

What if you don’t have a fob?

These features require the cloud

No they don’t. You can use WiFi. Or Bluetooth. Or 433Mhz radio.

Look your car has a new software update available!

Tesla doesn’t have “creature comforts” behind subscriptions. They’re 1-time payments.

LOL how does one go about that, exactly?

Do you walk into the dealer and state affirmatively “I am not buying a car here because I don’t want a subscription!” and then turn around and walk out?

Won’t matter. The company knows you don’t want this. They also know that enough other people will pay for it that it won’t matter. These subscriptions are not new. If people put their foot down and refused to pay for them they would go away, but the opposite it happening.

Sorry.

When I have the VPN on I get nothing but a “Session Expired” notice for several months at a time.

It already unlocks locally over Bluetooth.

I understood your point. My point is those electronics make it more convenient to use. Would I appreciate ALSO having a physical unlock mechanism? Sure. It also increases the attack surface.

Cars have had electronic remote keyless entry for decades.

As does Tesla.

Haha yeah there are other, more reliable methods but the “phone as a key” is also super convenient when it works properly, which is most of the time. It just would be a lot smarter if it worked locally.

From any practical standpoint, this makes so much sense.

Sometimes my Tesla fails to unlock for some reason and I have to disable my VPN and then stand next to it like a God damn idiot for 10 seconds while it calls it’s servers in fucking California to ask it to unlock my car.

Sure enough, that fixed it, thanks.

What’s the deal with devs not keeping up with FDroid repos?

Findroid keeps saying it’s not supported on my Pixel 7 for some reason
