Remember that one of the few positives the DMCA included was exceptions for interoperability. Also, these pieces of hardware are generally analyzed and reimplemented rather than copied - which steps outside of patents in general, as far as I know (IANAL). Many ship with roms and games included, though, which is generally not allowed in most countries.

Hvis du er bekymret for dit privatliv, så håber jeg ikke, du kører en almindelig Android-version på telefonen, medmindre du holder det mest personfølsomme på computeren. Der findes selvfølgelig alternative android-versioner, men du var ikke så specifik i din beskrivelse - og desværre er telefonerne vel snart den mest personlige computer for de fleste.

Nå, men hvad kører der her? Mildest talt et sammensurium. Jeg har to installationer af EndeavourOS på ældre hardware (2010 MacBook Pro og en Asus K56CB). Jeg har to maskiner med hhv. ZorinOS Core og Lite. Zorin er den mest problemfrie installation jeg har prøvet af noget som helst til ikke-kreativ hjemmebrug. Alt har virket ud af æsken på min desktop, og da jeg først fik tæmmet UEFIen i den bizarre Acer 2-i-en, som jeg lagde Lite på, virkede alt også upåklageligt der (den maskine kan virkelig ikke lide at installere noget som helst andet end Windows og bruger 32 bit UEFI til en 64 bit maskine).

Jeg har også en PPC Mac Mini med MorphOS 3.18 og en Mac Mini Server med Haiku OS nightly. Dertil kommer en arbejdslaptop med macOS og en M1 Mini, som også kører Ventura og primært er server. Der er også en Pi, der kører sin debian-variant, men den laver ikke så meget andet end HomeAssistant lige nu. Jeg har også et par Win 11-maskiner, der primært bruges til spil eller at understøtte anden hardware (f.eks. små værktøjer til firmwareopdatering, der kun findes i Win-versioner).

You can still play cheaply on Xbox with Game Pass, though, if you want to dual wield Starfield.

My own limited testing was actually more positive than expected. The real limiting factor is games that never received a 64 bit update. It turns out that - at least among many of the games I gave a shot - many have received that 64 bit version and run just fine under Rosetta. I think many Mac porting houses / developers just don't rush out in the same way app devs do to support the latest versions, but they tend to get around to it eventually if they still have the rights and are in business. I hope Mac will eventually see a compatibility layer, so games will stay functional while Apple monkeys around with system stuff.

You can use the client just fine. It's just some games that won't work. We'll see what GamePortingToolkit makes in term of difference. Heroic Games Launcher has apparently made it fairly simple to add it on Mac ala Proton. (I haven't had time to dig into it yet, so I'm just going from what I read in updates/release notes)

I don't know anyone actually using WhatsApp - and considering who makes it, I'm not tempted to start on my own. Of course there are other, better alternatives, but you still have to convince others to use what you would like to use. That is an uphill battle - especially with tech illiterate users in your family.

Prime Video har i hvert fald ret meget godt til prisen, som vist er 45 om måneden. SkyShowtime ligger også i den billige ende (69 kr) og er ligeledes ret fint. Andre nævnte Apple TV+, og der er helt klart nogle serier, der er værd at bruge en måned eller to på (Ted Lasso, For All Mankind, Foundation, Silo, Severance). Den er også stadig ret billig, og man får af og til kastet 3 måneder efter sig, hvis man har købt noget hos Elmutanten eller lignende.

Just use the fantastic Heroic Games Launcher.

Only some games support cloud saves on Epic. Strictly speaking this is also the case on Steam, but games without cloud saves there seem rather rare.

I really like Newsflash on Linux. Clean interface, scraping built-in. I also found Feedreader in my repo which looks promising, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

This seems more like what some stereotypes about the areas are. I doubt the AI really had much information about what Europeans, specifically, think about Americans. Most Europeans have rough ideas of rural VS urban America and northern VS southern.

Jeg tror, jeg skal få min nye Linux-installation til at ligne BeOS - og så se om jeg ikke kan finde ud af hvorfor systemet fucker op, hver gang det prøver at opdatere grub. Det ville være rart at slippe for dårlige nerver ved hver opdatering.
