Same kid stage here, but I did drop down to the ad-supported level due to the recent price jump. They claim kid profiles won't get ads, but I suspect they'll reverse course on that. When they do, that will be it for me. I'm n

If you agree, than relative measures of TDP/benchmark at the redline are pointless, ignoring that TDP number are often inaccurate anyway. What you probably want to compare for most home uses is power at some low idle vs performance at

I think RPis have pretty much outgrown (outpriced?) their usefulness, except in very specialized applications: If you want to run a server-task, listen to the common chorus and buy an 3-7 year old SFF business PC. Slap Proxmox on it, and yo

Exactly. ST seems to want to conflate areas that would probably be considered 'rural' with actual suburbs of large metro areas. Look at some of the towns mentioned in their 'suburbs bad' articles and you'll note the

This is my hope as well. If the majority of a content-creator's revenue comes from in-video sponsor segments, what difference does it make where the video is uploaded. Most podcasts follow this model, with the exception of ones that ha

Not to mention that brick and mortar retail always has to worry about online retail nipping at their heels. It's hard to compete on price with an Amazon warehouse in a cheap-rent area, staffed with robots and overworked staff when you

This probably has more to do with the fact that supermarket tomatoes are picked before they fully ripen on the vine (often green). I also enjoy growing my own (Brandywine is a favorite), and letting it ripen on-vine to the point where it&#x

Worth noting that this works on any Android/Google TV box and Fire sticks, not just the Shield. I highly recommend the newest Walmart 4K ONN streaming box (official Google TV), which is an absolute steal at <$20.

I agree with your analogy, but for a large team, you can't ignore the 'broken window theory' [1] as it applies to code quality. If the codebase is messy and inconsistent, even in those 'hidden' files, developers are

Of course, now you have the opposite problem: someone turns the bulb off with the lamp knob (unaware of/irritated with its smart features), and now it's unresponsive with all smart controls. The best compromise are smart switches.

When the wealthy vacation home owners actually take an interest in local politics and change the types of businesses (and pricing structure) through their upscale tastes and discretionary income, the residents are still unhappy. This is the

Probably should be careful what they wish for. It seems to me that unused vacation properties are optimal for the residents: they pay much higher taxes as a secondary residence and they don't cause traffic or consume any resources.

Pretty much a standard in Finance-related work. The thinking being that being in debt not only makes you more likely to commit fraud/theft, but also that it makes you easier to influence/corrupt/blackmail.

Cash is also preferred in food service, because it's easier to cheat on taxes. When you're paid a tip in cash, with no paper trail of what that amount was, the reported earnings on the tax form is merely a suggestion to tell the t

All the more reason why everyone should be forced to do quarterly estimated taxes (like 1099 or non W2 workers do) instead of having the amount automatically withheld every paycheck by the payroll system. Having the money 'in your hand

Amazon does the same thing if you link a Samsung Smartthings hub and those little sensors have a low battery. This is basically the 'promise' of all this smart home junk: your fridge automatically adds milk to your Amazon cart whe

Sure, you can't fit a huge graphics card in there (power or space), but I'd argue that if running a full size graphics card and/or multiple 3.5" drives is your goal, a SFF isn't the right case. Pretty sure you can f

As someone 4 years younger, I'd argue the 'good times' carried on until the early 90s, at least for a kid that didn't have any money to buy new games all the time. The games back then were all simple enough that a devote

It's hard to go wrong with the Optiplex i5-6500 boxes that seem to have flooded the market recently. Amazon has them for $100 with 16GB RAM and a 256 SATA SSD. They have a NVME slot and PCIx16. They seem to be cheap, because that chip

To be fair, WebForms is 20 years old. It requires .NET Framework, but Microsoft just released another version (4.8.1) of that last year even though they said they were done with 4.8 back in 2019. By the time it's totally dead, companie

Regardless of what one considers 'adequate' pay for teachers, the aggregate statistics show that many -- most -- other developed countries achieve far better results with less spending per student. At least in my state and area, I

I've made the vacuum mistake before, and I had to throw the vacuum bag out well before its time. Same issue if I crush one and throw it in the trash can - now I have that smell until I take the trash out. Based on some responses, it&#x

I've found as soon as I touch/disturb one, it excretes its stink oil onto my fingers. The smell also permeates the room a bit. I beg to differ on the 'they don't want to be inside' bit. I think that's exactly w

Not every problem can be solved by throwing money at it. The US spends more per student than essentially every other country in the world (besides the few statistical anomalies like Luxembourg), and most of the areas with poor-performing sc

Because, at least with plain ol UDP DNS, I can masquerade my adblocking DNS server to any IoT junk that ignores my DHCP provided DNS servers and uses its own hardcoded one. DoT is obviously immune to that, as is DoH, but at least for DoT, t

As horrible as it is to imagine losing a child, what I can't imagine is ever suing private individuals, neighbors, over what is clearly an accident. The other girl was only superficially harmed from the crash, so it's likely their
