All Asus mobos and graphic cards I owned died.

And as in my IT days we had whole rooms of machines with Asus graphics die too.

I avoid Asus components like the plague

Breezy Weather: An open-source, privacy-friendly Android weather app forked from the now-unmaintained Geometric Weather in c/[email protected]

You need to add the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo.

I've been using Breezy since it replaced Geometric Weather. It's a fantastic app.

I sends notifications for weather warnings and has a lot of info depending on the meteorological data provider.

I use OSS Weather also as a complement.

Is there any app (prefrebly from fdroid main repo ) or website that is open source and privacy based but also can do what true caller does ? in c/[email protected]

If you live un the US or Canada, Carrion+.

The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? in c/[email protected]

It should not. Some phones don't play well with private DNS though, mostly entry level ones that thrives on spying.

I think Infomaniak would give her a more similar experience to Gmail if you're in Europe. 20GB of mail storage + 15GB on KDrive, contact app, document editing, visio, file transfer, etc.
