Many of us have been saying the ADL is shit for decades now.

Right?

Let’s see, Pythagorean theorem, is what, a couple thousand years old, and a single statement, right? And it’s the foundation of geometry and trig. Hell, I regularly say it in my head (a2+b2=c2) when trying to figure out spatial relationships, for dumb stuff no less (will this table fit on my patio with room to walk around it?).

It’s how you ensure anything you’re trying to make square is square. In framing (shed, house, deck, whatever) it’s used to ensure you setup your string in the proper orientation and don’t end up with a parallelogram.

And the Periodic table… The bloody basis of understanding chemical reactions and physics.

I guess if you’re not teaching the Periodic Table, there’d be no hope if understanding evolutionary theory, since it’s predicated on chemical behaviour.

While I despise all these hackers these days, I feel like these companies deserve it, for their utterly non-existent data handling protocols.

Cell tracking is external to the phone. It’s done by the towers - they know signal strength, and by using known tables of that data, cell providers know pretty accurately where your phone is.

To block this you’d need a device that lacks any cellular technology whatsoever. Wifi only.

And that has the same issues, especially with companies like Comcast/Xfiniti using their cable modems to track all the devices around them, even if you don’t connect to them.

Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.

Config Jellyfin to run as a service when you install.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/windows/

Windows supports this.

I’m pretty sure I read a post years ago about how to run Jellyfin as a service (I think it’s even documented on the website).

It already runs as a headless service that you access via a browser, so you just have to configure an actual Windows Service.

I just checked - installing as a service is part of the installer, right on the Jellyfin website.

My favorite is being provided a solution but with absolutely no context or how the solution addresses the root cause.

Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.

Hey, hey now, no kink shaming found here! 🤣

Snikket seems to be it for iOS. But it does work pretty well, I haven’t run into any issues with it.

For Windows well, nothing does voice as far as I know.

Wow, very well put.

OP: I’d like to recommend a book - “Your Erroneous Zones” by Wayne Dyer. Available on Amazon and used bookstores for a couple bucks. He essentially outlines how to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to alter our own mis-thinking, and to develop more effective communication.

Tailscale has the Funnel feature, which can funnel traffic into your Tailscale net for you.

There was a really good explanation by a rando about how it happened. Seems a dev made a mistake when publishing a change.

Apparently bitwarden immediately changed internal procedure for publishing changes.

And here’s the problem with Wikipedia - while technically darker roasted coffee doesn’t have more caffeine by volume than lighter roasts…technically the way coffee is brewed properly is by weight, and darker grounds are often used for things like espresso, which requires a much finer grind. So the same volume of dark grounds will technically have more coffee grounds than a lighter roast used for drip or pour-over.

Lots of detail is obfuscated when things are summarized. Sometimes those details matter.

Also, it seems a lot if this doesn’t address the facetious or hyperbolic angle of these statements (though several do).

Again, sometimes this change in level (or direction) of focus fundamentally changes what something means.

Ubiquiti?

You can’t give me that garbage. I despise it, after setting up a single access point (plus also watching friends deal with it at client sites).

Besides the discovery issues and slow performance when trying to manage it, I had a random open network on it after setup. This network didn’t appear anywhere in the control panel. I could turn off the access point and the network disappeared.

It didn’t show up in the guest network config (which was turned off anyway). It had the same name as the WPA-protected network, it was just open - no security at all.

I had to reset the access point to get rid of this weird random open network.

What kind of garbage product does that?

Now let’s look at cloud keys. One has a hard drive in it. Just one drive, 3.5", which besides storing data also stores the OS. What? Why is the OS not on some firmware or at least an M2, since the drive is really for storing surveillance data (did I mention it’s a single drive?), what a joke. Why would I bother with such an expensive device that has zero fault tolerance, when I could simply buy a cheaper real machine, run multiple drives, and host the software there?

I lack the vocabulary to describe how bad Unifi is.

Are you me? The only difference is I just switched to a Pixel 5. My 2006 car should run for many more years, 10 at least.

Just this month I finally moved off my 2017 flagship… Only because my cell provider stopped supporting it (for no fucking reason).

I was running the latest version of Lineage too. Thing was great. It did need a battery (which I may still replace for about $7).

And like you said, sometimes you need to replace a phone.

Maybe it was lost, or destroyed.

Diabetes (Type I) is a bitch, because diet can only manage it somewhat. And there’s 2 subtypes there, with all sorts of biochem happening. Plus hormones are a crazy interwoven system.

Type II now, yes, there’s near-zero reason to not have control of it, as it’s nearly all diet induced. And something like 90%+ of all diabetes in the US is Type II today. I knew no one as a kid who had diabetes (though it later appeared in my family).
