I have the same, but Netflix is then a miserable experience on my 4K TV.

I bought both my parents new old machines now that they retired, and I opted for a T480 for both. They've been called The Last Great ThinkPad over on r/thinkpad since they are both powerful - first generation with a quad-core processor - and nicely upgradable. The upgradeability also means that you don't have to worry overly about the amount of RAM a used model has: you can always add more cheaply (and very easily).

Thanks. I don't know the dev etc., and the below from FAQ about source code makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Why do you trust the outfit?

🇬🇧 Where is Instander's source code? Why don't you publish it?

Because Instagram for Android isn't open sourced to begin with. It means we have no obligations to publish source code due lack of license that would require us to do it. Ask Instagram to publish their source code and then Instander source code might be published.

Open source modifications are not good idea in general, because you don't want to see Instander with all it's features and without any credit to the_dise, right? We also don't want to see that. It devalues labor and it really is demotivating.

If you are technical specialist, you can make sure that Instander is safe by yourself. All have you to do is analyze app's outcoming traffic.

Since May 2020, there was not single a case of account hijack/password stealing where it would be proved that Instander is directly responsible for that.

The Tafkars API might be helpful in that: Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy (help wanted). To quote,

  • I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
