This wont change VC/PE at all. It fits right into the playbook. 1. Take on as much debt as possible. 2. Extract as much of that cash in the form of management fees as possible. 3. Flip to next phase within 3-5 years. If there is mea

I bought a NAS a fee years back. Was a fully functional computer complete with 4x usb, hdmi, and Ethernet. Only the ethernet was exposed until you cut the case away. Cut the case, installed truenas, never looked back.

I forced them to agree to not apply the sticker to the car I ordered for delivery to the dealer. I got in in writing from the sales rep. When I went to pick up the car and it had their stupid sticker on it. They had to remove it and redo t

Its not the skill of the developers thats the problem with offshoring. Its the communication breakdown and difficulty of specifying what you actually want built.

Faraday bags are not effective against all frequencies. Specifically the 5G frequencies are known to be very difficult to block with a cage ( but do have relatively short ranges)

This is just another example of the depth of issues caused by allowing production and mechanical know how to apathy. We literally have to build up the generational knowledge again from nearly nothing.

I self host Gitea. Very reliable. Painless setup. I wish it had some sort of CI like github actions or bitbucket pipelines, but otherwise totally happy wit it.

Out of curiosity, what is the channel for making a purchase like this? I am in that ballpark in terms of supply for CM4s.

Wait. Why? My laser printer is on a UPS. What is the problem I am not aware of?

Agree. One of the most infuriating things we tolerate as a society. The number of good and solid companies adding value to society that have then been raided in order to line the pockets of a few is such a disgrace.

Its not that the underlying firm cannot support the debt load, if the proceeds from that debt were put in to productive uses (expand production, design new products, more marketing, etc). The problem is that the debt is taken on, then the f

Definitely don’t have the backhaul be over wifi as it severely impacts your speeds. If you can’t get CAT6 where you need it, I have found MOCA to Ethernet adapters work well. Something like this. https://a.co/d/6FYGrga

I’m pleased to see the similarities with my own setup which is likely a year or two behind this setup. Same desk, organizers, most of the products, similar challenges with a proliferation of components. Separate work desk from bench. I loo

Apple controls the browser on iOS with an iron fist. Even if you are using a different app, its still Safari under the hood. And even though they control the rendering, they still open all links from Apple apps in Safari. Oh and music. I us

Oh man. This brings back memories. I spent a few weeks every summer for 20 years about a mile south of the plant. Before 9/11 you could go down by the warm water discharge, plop down a beach chair and hang out in the 100 degree water.
