Yeah, I could do that, and it would work for most of the time, but TS does it for even the weird cases when I’m away from home and can’t play with it. EDIT:good call, though.

WG gonna punch through NAT for me? My endpoint is a pretty stable (though technically dynamic) IPv4 on one end, but the other might be a cell phone with CGNAT, some random WiFi, blah blah etc. TS does that. If you don't want to use it,

Were you using an exit node? Because that really does hammer the battery, but vanilla TS without a bunch of traffic doesn't seem to do much to mine. The only always-on TS service on my phone is Immich for photo backup, and I don't

I get “is” more often than “and”, though nowhere near what I got with Swype on Android ten years ago. Considering that Microsoft bought Swype, I have no idea why SwiftKey isn’t absolutely amazing, but it isn’t.

That is common. The one that I haven’t seen lately is “Abbas”, like the Palestinian politician. Except, I don’t ever write about Middle Eastern politics. At all. But it was a favorite for a while.

For some reason, the one word that it just will not let me swipe is “and”. Which is, you know, somewhat common. I get all kinds of random things instead.

Seen it at several, though DFW has been the worst. DFW is generally a terribly-run airport, though.

I've seen an interesting corollary: 4G on an airplane at the gate is much faster than the 5G microcells inside the terminal. If I'm downloading podcasts for a flight, I do it on WiFi beforehand or on 4G on the plane. 5G in the t

Clickbait headlines have a long history. Go look up old newspapermen’s reminiscences about them. The most famous are classics like “HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR” (1983) from the NY Post or “STICKS NIX HICK PIX” (1935) from Variety.

Yes, they advertise. And they discard things that will not sell. That is what businesses do. Most of them try to sell it for a lower price first.

Big, successful grocery stores operate on a 3% margin. It’s mostly a commodities business. Doing all that alone could entirely wipe their profit.

Sure. Go ahead. See where it gets you. Hard resets involve guillotines.

Ah yea, the famously successful political approach of “discard half the people, they don’t matter, then throw away half of the ones left over”. Works very well.

And the marvelous book Code . He explains how a digital computer works. Not sophisticated ones, not how it works on silicon, but how you turn relays into computation.

His freeform, not-too-serious libertarianism can easily be mocked, but PJ O’Rourke did have a very good point about well-intentioned but counterproductive environmental legislation like the laws governing wetlands: imagine that, should an O

The only realistic way to get someone back from ventricular fibrillation is cardioversion. That's why automatic external defibrillators are in so many public spaces these days. If someone drops in your presence, you find that thing and

My in-laws had a Chihuahua as the alert dog and a Doberman as the guard dog. Yip yip yip WOOF WOOF WOOF. Took the Dobie on a lot of walks in natural areas where sketchy people were around. Funny enough, nobody tries anything when you have a

Fwiw venison leans heavily on ground because it’s so lean that it’s nearly impossible to cook it to be tender and cooked; even sous vide methods require lower temps. Grinding it with cheap pork fat allows it not to be basically jerky.

It’s been around for quite some time. I assumed it would be known around here. The lowest level is 100 Mbps and I keep telling people on Reddit that 100 Mbps is plenty for so many use cases. I wouldn’t install it on a new plant, but if it’s

Win95 OSR2 and Windows 98 Second Edition were actually pretty reliable, unlike early 95, but the first person I knew to own a CD burner called NT his 100-megabyte CD burning software, because 95 and 98 just weren't stable enough (and b

Yeah, except that because the Warren Court was so incredibly arrogant, it's almost impossible to institutionalize anyone against their will in the US unless you go through all the process of setting up guardianship.

Right, so, what do you do about the guy who smears feces on the walls and won't take his meds? Because that guy is the one who makes public spaces unlivable. Including places like SRO hotels that actually could provide people with affo

The problem with Libby is finding a local library that has a good selection. Mine does not, and my state does not have the feature of being able to get a library card from any library in the state. I would have to buy a membership to a non-

As is MoCA, which in my experience is a lot higher-speed and more reliably so. People tend to want speed, speed, speed, but tons of use cases are totally fine with a reliable 100 Mbps. For a lot of remote monitoring stuff, even 1 kbps is en

Cordless phones have mostly disappeared but the Panasonic Link2Cell models - where the base station acts as a Bluetooth headset for up to two mobile phones - are still around and are absolutely marvelous for older adults. They can plug thei
