(Warning: gross simplification ahead) Because they don’t make (practically) any money on CD sales, streaming, or radio plays, the record labels do. That one performance is recorded, and they get paid for that performance and the record labe

Home Assistant is great. Started with a Raspberry Pi 4, then migrated to a Wyse 5070 running HAOS in a VM on top of libvirt/qemu. Using USB dongles for both ZigBee and zwave, passing the USB devices directly through to the VM. This kin

In the Apple ecosystem, the one “refusing to sell you…” is Apple, and not only the required peripherals but also not making the software work that way. Because if they did, then you wouldn’t need to buy a Mac.

The sad reality is that market forces don’t want this to happen, since it would cannibalize sales of those other devices. It’s much better for manufacturers to make sure a phone can only do “phone stuff” and a PC can only do “PC stuff”, bec

I use “Open image in new tab” on Firefox all the time. Maybe the site you’re using is doing something in JavaScript to block it?

There’s no requirement to be actively reading and posting to Facebook in order to use Marketplace.

Regex and is a separate language used by many tools, Perl just made it nicely integrated into the language, and also made some nice enhancements. Don’t blame issues with regex on Perl.

If you’re trying to sell something, you need to be where the customers are. If they’re on Marketplace, that’s where you go. You can easily list in both places.

Not a downvoter, but it’s probably because it doesn’t really matter. If you want high speed connections for multiple devices, use a separate switch. Devices that are purely routers often have only a few ports, and you can use VLANs to multi

Using a blender is also processing, but it doesn’t remove the fiber. It does, however, break open the cells and makes the nutrients and sugars more easily available separately from the fiber. Eating healthy is just as much about the shape&#

Or at the least, download PDF statements every month. I fear that if too many people don’t do that, eventually they’ll remove that feature due to low demand.

Making it a requirement sounds like some project manager has a KPI to hit to justify the expense of the hardware rollout. Maybe a stretch since I doubt most people opted out anyway. Either that or they took a page out of the big tech playbo

Better start installing Firefox then. They already removed Ublock Origin from the extension site so you can’t install on new systems anymore. (There’s probably some hoops you can jump through to install it, but the writing is on the wall)

The removal of Manifest v2 support clearly shows there’s a conflict of interest there. The best thing for users is to allow ad blocking, but the best thing for Google is to not allow it. Since they’re choosing to impede/reduce those ca

The biggest limitation for thermostats is the user interface. Most require digging through cryptic options, or they’re very expensive with a nice screen interface. I think there’s a market opportunity for many of these types of devices to i

Good point on the phone thing. The Windows 11 restrictions could cause a marked decline in PC usage completely, as people give up and see how far they can get with just a phone. I’m sure many will realize they don’t need a PC anymore.

One of the storage management options is to allow the phone to automatically offload (i.e. delete) unused apps, but not the data, and then automatically download it again when the user launches it. Installing an OS update would need tempora

This is nothing more than someone complaining that they’re being required to consider that the idea of relentless innovation that steamrolls all other concerns might not be the right way to think about progress, and then contriving an idea

I would take those posts with a grain of salt. Every time there’s a post about Snapdragon, there’s at least a few comments saying how great they are and others trashing Intel. It smells more like an astroturf campaign than legitimate praise

These ads remind me of the ones (not from Apple) that were being shown when car infotainment systems started coming out. Cue the guy driving a carpool full of work colleagues who receives a text from his wife, which the car then reads aloud

This highlights why a design process is so important. It feels great to start with a clean slate and “just code”, and many seem to get rewarded for that in a “move fast and break things” culture. However there always needs to be a plan on h

The afternoon slump is probably coming from eating too many carbs at lunch. Try addressing that and you might not need the sugar boost at 3. Or switch to unprocessed fruit for that boost instead.

In private “host only” VM networks, the hosts do act as routers, DNS, and DHCP servers. In those networks you do not want the VMs getting addresses from the parent network, you want them contained in the laptop.

Yes, I agree with your point that a realtime edit/publish cycle is a key part of the “wiki” aspect, instead of needing to do a build. I hadn’t considered that part of it.

It’s caused by Wall St’s need to see constant growth, which becomes cancerous once a company has completely dominated its global market. The company is forced to squeeze existing customers once it’s no longer possible to find new ones (beca

For many years now, spammers have made the “anyone can edit” approach completely unworkable for all but the most popular wiki sites.

I’ve never seen or heard of 2FA being needed for BIOS access. However maybe we could consider “physical presence” as one type of factor, which does reduce the risk a lot.
