I hate to be that guy (no I don't) but this is why I just plugged one of the spare outputs on my PC into the TV with a 20ft HDMI extension cable and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse to open movies from the living room.

It barely helps at all (almost all your apps are pulling in telemtry/auth libraries from data brokers regardless of the permissions you give them) and the cost (no more personal computing.) is incredible.

IMO: it's nice to have weird platforms. I've caught lurking UDB and memory corruption in my programs by trying to run them on weird OSes.

Man at that point I'd just make my own and keep a fire extinguisher handy. Making stuff hot with electricity isn't exactly rocket science.

Will we admit yet that having OS vendors sign software does nothing to stop malware?

There current title is pretty confusing without a hyphen. Artificial-land problem? Or is it an Artificial land-problem caused by poor zoning (or is it both?)

Yes but without Android we might have gotten something decent.

> android is there I wouldn't consider Android good. At least in the age of bespoke phone OSes things were so bad that you could easily avoid having a phone.

Completely missing out on the whole AMP mess was a nice plus for me honestly.

TBH for my indoor garden watering it by hand is fine (really good for my mental health honestly) I just like the idea of playing with the robot.

I don't think most people want to turn their yard into a serious farm. This is great for backyard gardens. I'd get a smaller table top version for my apartment.

> singular they on grammatical grounds, It's in the APA style guide (it's been there for a while now.) IMO that's even more pedantic than the "begs the question" battle which was lost some time ago.

As far as I can tell there are no policies that prevent #2 from happening. As for 1 and 3, the limited blast radius doesn't matter so much as long as you target the installs, which seems to be happening. Also: sorry someone downvoted y

This was part of the reason I bought a PinePhone. It's not for everyone but it's a bout as powerful as my personal laptop (yes I know, it's 10 years old though.) I've carried work+personal laptops before and that can get

I made this mistake during my first internship and pretty much never did it again. I'm so glad because I would have performed even more poorly during WFH if I had.

I've run my own email since I was ~18 (I'm 27 now.) Currently I use OpenSMTP with a custom patch for the address parser. My only real issue is that I'm never able to send mail to hotmail (no one seems able to do that so often

My personal website is hosted by: Microsoft who lets people use the github cdn for free if they're not obnoxious about it. and my mail server on linode which I'm paying for anyway. Web hosting is just not that expensive unless you
