As far as I’m aware, all the MacBook Pros with 4 USB C ports, both the 13 and 15/16inch from 2016 until the Apple Silicon ones arrived, were all Thunderbolt certified. I also remember in a few of the teardowns from iFixit that those devices also has one Thunderbolt controller per side.

As a Québécois, one piece of software I really like is called Antidote, which does pretty much the same as Grammarly, without the online components, unless you pay for the subscription. It also works in both French and English.

Since both of these CPU are 2 cores 4 threads, you wouldn’t get much from upgrading CPUs

And to add to that, don’t forget to consult the maintenance manual that Lenovo puts on its support website

As far as I’m aware, you can change the battery, the ram and the storage. If you don’t have a 1080p display, that can be swapped as well. The wireless chipset can be changed, but note however that you need to get one that is whitelisted by the BIOS of the computer. The CPU is soldered to the logic board, so what you have is what you get.

I don’t mind the porn either, but not on my main accounts on lemmy.ca and lemmy.world

Yep, I got the same issue with blocking communities. It would be so much simpler to simply block pornlemmy and lemmynsfw than to block the myriad of communities that pop up

I know it’s not the Play Store, but it’s still shown as being 4.7 stars on the iOS App Store

It’s my main app on my phone, but I go back and forth with Memmy and Voyager (formerly wefwef) on my iPad

Oh yeah?

I’d say that I’m more anti-corporate, but not completely anti-capitalist. I do agree however that capitalism needs to be better regulated tho.

One of the major dangers and problems I have with passwords saved in a browser is that they are not encrypted, and also the fact that many browsers tend to auto fill login forms, as opposed to a password manager extension, such as Bitwarden, that starts in a locked state with all the data truly encrypted.

I’ve been using passwords manager since a few years, but I switched to Bitwarden around Christmas last year after the data breach from LastPass. It’s so much safer than storing them in the browser or on one service that’s not available elsewhere

I kinda miss Reddit, but after browsing it today, it felt kinda weird. Lemmy is starting to feel more and more like home as more people join in and participate. And also the fact that the 0.18 update fixed the numerous issues, it really helps.

It now feels pretty good to browse and it now makes the experience of using Lemmy much more enjoyable. Having to spam the vote buttons was really annoying.

I guess that the other thing that helps is that we don’t have Karma over here, so there’s nothing of value to gain.

It honestly feels like early Reddit and not like the echo chamber/shit show that Reddit is currently right now.

It’s the same for me. I discovered what Reddit was because of a rage comics app. I’ve used pretty much all of the apps, such as Baconreader, Alien Blue, but ultimately settled on RIF for Android and Apollo on iOS. I am currently using Memmy, but I really hope that there’s an equivalent for RIF, perhaps a LIF?
