Working at a computer shop, Lenovo ThinkPads are usually pretty fine, but the main fault we’ve seen with them is lack or completely missing thermal compound. On one occasion I saw my colleague’s machine not post, and IIRC we had to reset the CMOS to get it back up.
Enshittification truly is a shame, because my old school GPS actually does this already (Turn left past the McDonald’s) and while I have no idea whether it’s paid promotion or not on my device, I like that feature. If that feature is equally applied to any known business as a landmark (heck, even other services like police stations, fire stations, etc.) it would be appreciated by users.
Instead, and here we are beating this drum again, capitalism gets its grubby fingers in this pie too and uses it for further advertising, turning a good feature into a bad one.
I had to do a double take between this comment and the one by @davidgro@lemmy.world
God the school’s response is so sleazy and unapologetic
On the occasion I’ve rushed into an Aldi 30 minutes before closing, they have that too
So you can use KeePass + Syncthing to synchronize the database file across your devices. Keeps it distributed and I’ve heard a lot of recommendations for this, although I haven’t tried it.
If you don’t want to do that, Bitwarden is well regarded and probably would suit your needs based on what you’ve said.
For my threat model, I don’t trust any online password manager, so I host my own local Bitwarden server (Vaultwarden) and use Tailscale to securely access it from any device, and if the server goes down, the Bitwarden client keeps a cached copy on the device itself.
Seconding LMDE, been on it for a year on my study laptop. Literally never ever had a problem so far, and being an “out of box” distro there’s minimal work needed to daily drive.
