I have a very similar setup. An old SFF desktop PC running Debian with a USB3 disk attached, though mine is just running ext4. SMB sharing allows easy access to everyone in the house, plus I have Syncthing configured on our phones and the L

A problem in the US is that many people who are politically right-leaning have been talking up natural immunity, which means the left-leaning people in charge of the local, state, and federal government where mandates are in place are unwil

The problem I see with the approach of existing devs taking the challenge is that they do not have the same level of nervousness or pressure. Presumably if they fail they still get to keep their job, right? IMO, being under pressure in an i

This article is literally about Biden ignoring experts who advocated for ramped-up testing for a year.

The root of the issue is that things were working fine before this change for the particular use case of computers hooked up to A/V equipment. Perhaps a $100 dongle can fix it, but the point is that the $100 device wasn't needed b

I don't understand why you're so combative about this. You say "professionals never do this", but lots of people are telling you that sometimes they do. Perhaps it's time to consider that your experience is not univ

I've been involved with several live productions in large arenas where there were multiple very large LED screens (48 feet wide I think) as well as being webcast to a significant audience. The A/V budget for these events was 7 fig

That's just always what I was taught, but I suspect in general if you're in a car without nearby access to a building, you're in bad shape no matter what you do. FWIW: https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/tornad

So what exactly do you think should have been done instead? Do you think people across a half dozen states should have been told to stay home all day Friday/Saturday?

That's an interesting map. What does "Initial WOU only" mean? According to NWS, "WOU" is Watch Outline Update. Does that mean that as storms track east and they expand the watch, they don't include those update

All the storm chasers I've seen are out in the country too, where they have long sight lines and long, straight roads that they can drive very fast on if needed to get away. Plus they are hopefully experienced enough to stay out of the

You're clearly trying to use this tragedy to push some sort of anti-capitalist mission, so I know you will not be willing to see anyone else's point of view. For the benefit of others, though, here is the map the NWS issued showin

You are willfully ignoring the reality of living in a tornado-prone region. Tornado watches are issued when conditions are favorable for tornados to form. These watches cover hundreds and hundreds of miles (a large part of a state or someti

I also live in a tornado-prone state and agree with all of this. In my experience, nothing at all shuts down in the event of a tornado watch - everything is business as usual (schools, businesses, retail, etc.). Outdoor activities might b

It's not so much about whether the pieces are used in other sets - of course Lego is going to want to build molds and use them in multiple sets, dedicating a mold for just this set would not be smart. I think my concern is more nuanced

There's plenty of products for digital evidence management, especially now that bodycams on police officers are so common. But it would seem that many courts have not caught up on this yet.

It's a big problem with this case. The judge has admitted that he basically knows nothing about technology, and the lawyers clearly don't know a lot either. The prosecution in particular has made several blatantly false statements
