  • If you think about it though, it is actually easier to find replacement parts for 70s-90s systems because there is now a small industry around it as well as collectors and there was a differrnt culture around it.

    Replacing things from 2000s-2010s systems is the bigger issues. They were all taken over by giant corpos with all repair parts, manuals, and software restricted and hidden in the name of “profit” and “protecting corporate IP” and now it is not profitable enough for them to spend resources keeping stock of old parts or driver installers, so into the trash they go, never to be able to be seen again, and reproducing them also is note challenging with increasing system complexity.

    It is common knowledge.

    Bots can scrape PDFs.

    I had about 50 applications of proof where bots scraped the information from my PDF and auto-filled it into the next forms which are again simply re-typing in all of the information from your resume again (which most medium or large companies use anyway which makes the entire point moot). They can scrape PDFs unless you hand-write your resume with bad handwriting so the OCR can’t pick it up.

    Unless they got their ATS system from aliexpress, it can scrape PDFs.

    I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

    Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

    A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

    Vs

    A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

    I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

    Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

    Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.


  • Yes but that whole line of a few years also suffered many breaking bugs from HMD like media sound being completely borked in an update and crackling and unusable for literally months before they fixed it. WhatsApp voice messages were hell for 4-5 months.

    Or the USB port being so low quality that there were rampant replacements needed after as little as 6 months (my own 7.1 needed 5 replacement USB ports in the 2 years I used it. Never had that from a phone before or after)

    Or the short battery life after an update second to only the HTC 10’s rapid battery drain bug.

    The 2018-2019 HMD years were really rough for software as far as phone usability, plus the bad USB-C part number they continued using during that time.

    Otherwise they were decent looking, decent performing, cheaper phones with bad cameras.
