I feel that at the very least, the customer in that case should be entitled to a complete refund of the product, regardless of whether they bought it 5 days or 5 years ago and regardless of the condition their device is in.

This should at least give some incentive to companies to not perform such sweeping changes to their terms of service and if they do, the customer can more easily remove themselves from the lock-in without taking a financial hit.

Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.

yeah, tunneling into your local network and then calling WoL from there is the way to go.

Not selfhosted but I think Pocket also falls into that category of service.

Pretty sure it’s targeted primarily at a small group of enthusiasts so with a low production volume, the high price makes perfect sense. If that’s too much for you, just don’t buy it :P

I can only hope that governments finally take that as hint to explore other platforms (Mastodon *hint* *hint*) for their public service announcements.

Ah yeah. I had to do the same. When you said “solution” I was hoping you meant you found a way to resolve the FPS drops while keeping polling at the original polling rate ^^

I came across the solution and man did it at first feel like bullcrap, but it worked for some reason

Wait, what was the solution? o_O

Please tell me, I’m begging you. I’ve been searching for like half a year without success. One of my PCs is still running “old” hardware (first gen highest tier Ryzen) and so I’m desperate to get this fixed ^^"

While Vaultwarden is great I would not suggest selfhosting your password manager unless you do regular backups. Losing all your password cause your server went down is a great way to ruin your day.

It’s not just applications. I recently “upgraded” two of my PCs from Windows 8.1 to to Windows 10. Ever since that having the mouse polling rate above like 125Hz and moving the cursor would result in frame drops in games.

This happened across two machines with different hardware, the only common denominator being the switch in Windows version. Tried a bunch of troubleshooting until I ultimately upgraded CPU + RAM due to RAM becoming faulty some time later on one of the machines. That finally resolved the issue.

So yeah, having to upgrade your hardware not because it’s showing its age but rather because the software running on it has become more inefficient is a real problem IMO.
