I still think the value prop is dubious for a device like this. > turn stuff on or off remotely Why? Nearly all modern humidifiers have a sensor to measure humidity and will cycle on and off based on the setpoint. Getting to the setpoint

Usenet + the *arr stack + Plex or Jellyfin make it completely effortless to watch any movie or TV show I can think of. And I don't have to play the 'which service has this?' game.

They're not quite available off the shelf. Best Buy and Walmart are marketplace sellers now. Meaning the bar is extremely low to start selling whatever you want on their website. They don't actually have the stock or have any in s

It's infuriating to take the time to draft & send a thought out email to my representatives only to receive a canned email 8 months later. Most of the time the response is even something like "ok cool opinion but I believe the

Same, and I find it really difficult to care about it anymore. It was leaked through no fault of my own. There are 0 actual consequences to companies doing it. So what am I going to do - stew about it??

I don't believe so. These boxes provide access to premium TV channels and live sports, not just public broadcasting.

In the last few months I've seen many advertisements for a device they call the "Super Box" - it's essentially an (Android based?) IPTV device with every channel imaginable. The people I know with them paid around $300 a

Whoa, I had no idea about niim.blue, thanks for posting that. These little printers are great - replaced my Dymo completely.

Quite frankly I would like to hang out with that grandma. Load it up, I’ll take the range hit.

104mb/s is well under the theoretical max of 1gig networking, so you're truly just being limited by your ISP based on the plan you pay for. The poster above is claiming to see a physically impossible speed on 1gig networking.

> And for the record, every single natural gas water heater is connected to 120V power for the ignition circuit. This is incorrect. Multiple homes I've lived in had no electric to the water heater, including my current. With a stand

I don't think the common analogy of "key to a house" makes any sense. For starters, a significant portion of people in existence aren't trying to break into your house 24/7.

Thanks for the heads up, just went in and disabled it on my 2 cameras. Next step will be to throw these privacy invading pieces of junk in the trash. Just need to find a comparable product. Are there any wireless (running power to these loc

TurboTax’s advertising is borderline fraudulent in my opinion. Freetaxusa.com (no affiliation) is just as good and legitimately free.

My PBS server has 2 datasources - one local external drive & Backblaze B2. I snapshot to the local drive frequently throughout the day & B2 once in the evening. Yeah I don't backup any of my media zpool. It can all be replaced

Are virtual machines not an option for your use case? From the outside looking in they appear like they would be easier to manage and far less costly.

A “server” doesn’t need to mean a pizza box with 15k rpm jet engine fans. My server is repurposed desktop hardware in a desktop tower case and is nearly silent except for the subtle hard drive noises. The hardware cost next to nothing and i

I opened a 1 letter typo fix for NextJS not that long ago and had the same thought run through my mind beforehand. I (obviously) decided to just do it anyway and let people think what they want, who cares. I know my intention was simply fix

I read the article but that animation was incredibly distracting. I don't even understand what it's for - clicking it does nothing. Best guess is a representation of how many people active on page.

Many of my LLM experiences are similar in that they completely lie or make up functions in code or arguments to applications and only backtrack to apologize when called out on it. Often their apology looks something like "my apologies,
