The iMessage lock-in is too real for some of us. I know some iPhone users who won’t even install FB Messenger (I know, I don’t use it either. Fuck the Zuck) because it’s not Apple/iMessage. I finally got my family on Signal and “OMG! We can send videos and pictures now!” Yeah, been saying it for years lol.
WiFi and ZigBee can interfere with each other as well since they both run on 2.4GHz and pending on what channel you’re on, will royally screw with the other. Moved (nearly) all my Smart Home devices to Z-Wave and has had better connection to nearly everything.
Got myself a Logitech G502X and the Powerplay charging mouse pad. Now I can have my wireless mouse charged 24/7 and never have I think about plugging it or docking it.
My SO and I recently found out that Walmart (I see the Great Value brand) has actually become one of the more expensive places to buy goods from. We’ve done comparisons from Trader Joe’s, Fry’s, and Safeway. We’ve found that Walmart is the least value. Take what you will.
Assuming you’re in Australia from the instance, so time zones might suck but I’m always down to play HD2 with others.
Oh, I drive Linux only. I have Windows 10 running Atlas playbook on standby but hasn’t been booted in months.
I think the entry barrier for installation/setup is what will be what stops Linux fully taking over. If OEMs start loading a very user friendly Linux on their “normal” desktops/laptops (Best Buy, Amazon, etc.), then I can see Linux being the majority.
With all that said, I want Linux to be the majority and running on everyone’s computer. I’m just being a realist at this point in time.
Less that they don’t want other companies using it and more so they don’t want other other companies translating it into something they can use.
Basically, translating an instruction manual from German to Spanish.
No one is breaking any copyright laws or IP to do this. It’s the same how Steam created Proton to run Windows games on Linux. It’s translating code from one language to another that’s readable.
If Linux becomes the dominant gaming platform for gaming (not gonna happen, wish it would tho), there is no reason for a “Proton for Windows” could/should emerge.
Eh, it’s just like Linux. Sometimes you just backup valuables. Scrap the whole thing and start from scratch again.
Personally, I’m loving the less YAML configs I have to do these days. Use to spends hours configuring it. I much prefer the click a button here and there and I’m done.
Getting old and lazy.
Job site got canceled, away from home, nothing else to do. Spent the last few hours cleaning up and “perfecting” my Home Assistant. I’m sure I’ll do it again in a few days.
Maybe organize-tool would help? You have to set the parameters but I love it for getting my home folders organized.
What service are you moving to? I’m curious of other alternatives.
Legit not arguing but other than going to the physical box office, what alternatives are there to Ticketmaster? I would love to know so I can stop giving them money.
Take every opportunity you can to learn and grow but don’t over exert yourself. Everything you learn can be used at a different company. Never know where your learned knowledge can take you.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you don’t know something, it’s better to ask and do it right the first time than fuck it up and have to waste more time. If they get mad for you asking, bail. People who can’t accept questions are people who can’t lead.
Do your job to the best of your abilities but don’t be loyal as they won’t be loyal to you when things are looking down.
If they offer any sort of benefits; PTO, College Funding, Health Care, etc; take advantage of everything that makes sense to you. Don’t let ANYONE make you feel guilty for using it. The company is going to use you. Use them right back.
Leave work shit at work and home shit at home, whenever possible. Be chummy with your coworkers but don’t mistake them for friends. “We’re like a family” is bullshit. The company will throw you to the curb if needed.
It’s definitely the blue vs green bubbles. Your average user doesn’t even know iMessage is E2EE. They also don’t care.
Google photos is just cloud back up like iCloud backup for iOS devices.
Google photos is also on iOS devices, so you could have your photos on any of your devices.
Matthew 6:5-6 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
It’s the foundation of his argument that Christians shouldn’t impose religion upon others but should lead by example.
Bro… That TV is over 7 years old, meant for health centers, and probably weighs 2 - 3 times the TV in OOP.
While yes, it is annoying, nothing modern has a center stand. https://www.google.com/search?q=tv with center stand
It’s definitely a cost cutting feature and you definitely can’t expect a $200 TV to have a weighted center stand these days.
They’ve released a couple of his pre-recorded videos but turned off the comments. They know they fucked up. 🤣
Late to the party but this why I like Ventoy. It only looks for removable drives and then all you do is drag and drop your live images onto the removable drive. Pretty hard to mess anything up.
If you’re talking about the “Cop City” protesters, that was Georgia State. Not Federal government. It’s 100% bullshit but it’s not Biden’s fault. It’s the Republican lead government of Georgia and their AG.
