Check out the stories section on the Ubiquiti forums: https://community.ui.com/stories Lots of great ideas in there - even if you decide to not use their gear. They pioneered repurposing Intels otherwise failed wimax for l

Yup, about sums up my experience with a local CSA. And I joined one that had been running for over 20 years and was considered one of the more established/well run on the east cost.

The big selling point for prime used to be next or two day delivery - but that has gone out the window for me for at least a year now - I still occasionally get fast delivery, but it's no longer the guarantee it used to be so I'm

Strikes me as a desperate attempt to save face and explain away the most plausible explanation - that one of their pilots committed an atrocity.

>"YouTube makes money.. because ads." Does it? The last I saw about Youtube and profit referred to it as revenue neutral.

Not just Google - tech in general is rife with people who think their poo doesn't stink. Profits (or lack of) have a way of snapping things back into focus!

Good - hopefully Chat GPT will be something I can subscribe to without ads. I spend far more time trying to suss out real results from Google's inserted ads.

Me too! I'm really hoping Mazda comes out with their rotary based range extender SUV. The power to weight ratio of rotaries is amazing, and their biggest weakness - the seals - is dramatically mitigated when the engine can run at a c

If we put a fraction of R&D into reactors as we have with semiconductors, it would be a VERY different story. Instead we have spent 50 years scared shitless of the nuclear boogyman. The worst proponents of nuclear are so called enviro

Number 2 was the big stickler for me - and it was frustrating that Apple didn't get this when the original Mac had AppleTalk built in from day 1! If only Hypercard had better networking support and a server - we'd be surfing stac

Amazing, isn't it - people love to act like if you don't buy an Apple device they will send jack booted thugs to confiscate your non-Apple tech. Sigh...

Better than Linux on the vast majority of Windows laptops due to hardware stability and less variability.

Maybe that changed with 11, but disconnecting all networking on setup was the easiest way to set Windows 10 up without being pestered to enter your Microsoft ID.

Not sure why you think this only extends to Apple: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/photodna and I'm sure if I searched I could find the same thing for Google, Facebook and others too.

You can. It's just if you do disconnect from Apple entirely, then certain features like Visual Lookups break - unsurprisingly. Not sure why there is this persistent myth that you can only use Apple tech if "connected" to App

1997 is when side impact regulations were enacted - there hasn't been anything as dramatic since. Yeah, newer cars may have a few more airbags but feelings about those things can go either way. Especially if you are a smaller person

Funny - my 2002 Nissan Xterra still runs, drives and looks like the day I bought it. My 1997 Miata is likewise just as fit. I'll take ANY Japanese car over an American, or god help you, European car - keep them clean and do oil chang

Why would he short a stock that he already owns all the shares of? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
