My Galaxy S4 was thinner than my subsequent iPhones, and had an easily removable back and battery. That said, the battery life was pretty bad, so that was a necessity.

I’ve interviewed over the years and kept touch with colleagues who went elsewhere. There are certainly tracks I could have taken to raise my salary more aggressively, but at my current salary, I wouldn’t call it a massive amount of money. I

Counterpoint, I am also a senior engineer. I was hired as an L1 support specialist talking with end users almost 20 years ago. I was promoted through the ranks of support followed by software development. Over that time, my salary has incre

It is absolutely possible, you just need to find company/team with an established product that is not trying to mimic a startup. I work 8a - 5p M-F, and have done so for over a decade.

I have it set up with the Amcrest app, so I still get notifications, I can do two-way audio, etc. The motion / person detection is happening on-device, as it is not sending a stream to Amcrest. I don’t subscribe to their cloud storage

You’re right, I was going based on their description. It’s actually higher than 2K. https://amcrest.com/4mp-wifi-camera-doorbell-ad410.html

I’m sure they could, but how many people have Ethernet at their doorbell? We recently built a new home, so I had the opportunity to hardwire all of our cameras, except the doorbells. There just weren’t great options that I could find. Lucki

My Amcrest AD410 doorbell encodes 2K (2560x1920) video at 15fps 24/7, and my previous Nest camera did 1600x1200 at 30fps 24/7. I guess it is more a limitation of their specific product than of the category in general.

Only somewhat related: My personal laptop is an older Dell Latitude 7370 (m7-6Y75) running Fedora 36. I had to reinstall using ext4 due to the performance impact of the default btrfs w/ compression. I was surprised at the difference it

Reading that thread, it sounded like OPs issue was more with an extension blocking something than the browser, but I’ll admit, I do not use GoDaddy, so I haven’t experienced it first hand.

Got any concrete examples? I hear this a lot, but have never experienced it. I’ve been using Firefox as my primary desktop browser for years now. I can’t think of any website that didn’t function. But maybe I encountered one and just though

AdGuard Home really is great. One really doesn’t need to set up docker if they don’t want, since it’s a single self-contained binary.

AdGuard works great on iOS. Plenty of other options too.

I also have Metronet, but haven’t found any compelling reason for a static IP. I use Tailscale for remote access, and though I don’t host anything from home currently, Cloudflare Tunnel should work.

I sold so many holsters and clips when I worked at RadioShack in the early 00’s. We would get something like $20 for selling the phone (they called it a “spiff” on top of our normal commission), and if we sold the accessories, we’d get anot

My kids (now 15 and 11) still talk about the time we laid out back in the yard and watched the meteor showers in the middle of the night. It’s a top memory for all of us :)
