Your comment came across as defending the position that Apple is in the wrong for not allowing iMessage to be accessible from all platforms, my crude definition of "the aggressor" my apologies if that is not how you meant your com

Explain your perspective on this. Here is a probing question. How does support costs for Microsoft go up when I communicate from my linux workstation to my linux server using SMB implemented by Samba.

And this is why I prefaced it's absolutely great for the first line. My issue is will the chatbot know that the thing I asked it cannot answer or is it going to keep spewing whatever it deems appropriate. Is it better than most humans,

SIP phones could handle this trivially. You could run a server on a raspberry pi that would be plenty and easily tie into an actual SIP telephone line, so both intercom and external calls. There are also decent products for not very expensi

Cat 7 doesn't exist as a standard, it is marketing. The highest current standard is Cat6a and is overkill. Install Cat 6 and if you need any speeds higher than 2.5G install SM fiber and eat the little extra cost. Even Cat6a doing 10G w

Generally high voltage ( electrical ) and low voltage ( network) should be in physically seperate conduit. This is both for safety (heat as well as cable breaks) and for actual noise issues. This is something that should be done by an engin

There is this reasonably small C library used by literally the entire world that you may want to look into, the Linux kernel. You may also note that in the general case even your beloved Rust and GC languages need to drop down to C the mome

Reading this thread more people need to learn about the 3-2-1 backup strategy. If it's only in the cloud it's not backed up, its stored. If its on the cloud and on your local PC it's not backed up, it's copied. If it&#x2
