It was stuck and the tow truck driver ran out of fucks to give that day.

He had a bigger plan, but the magnets got wet and it fell apart.

Bad headline. They denied taking the case because it is not Supreme Court worthy. They didn’t hear the case and rule against him.

The trick is trying to find a way to launder this much all at once while they still have a regulator watching the business.

It’s not spine. It’s the MAGA wanting to murder him leopard eating his face.

When you are guilty AF and can’t defend against a mountain of solid evidence, all you got is trying to get the case crushed on some technicality.

It wouldn’t free them, but it would give them the argument that the law is not enforceable.

The ruling would get challenged and quickly shot down in a higher court. There’s no way that the government would allow one of their favorite hammers to use against dissidents get gutted.

His only play is to use endless motions, no matter how absurd, to keep delaying in the hopes that he gets back in office to follow through on his dictatorship promise and pardon himself or install cronies to all justice department positions to drop all cases.

Time by Pink Floyd.

Back in the day. Moped, cassette Walkman, and very early wired earbuds. The engine noise covered the several minutes of ticking in the beginning, so it seemed like the tape had stopped. Then the alarm clocks kicked in and startled me so badly that I almost crashed.

Code security is directly proportional to the amount of resources devoted to finding and fixing bugs regardless of open or closed. If nobody is maintaining the code, it doesn’t matter.

One advantage with open you is that you can look at the version control to see how active the code is being maintained.

I have had various sticks and Roku highest end models and then got the latest ATV with hard wire port that adds Dolby vision and high frame rate HDR. I have a 2022 high-end TV.

The video quality is noticeably better. Not sure of older ATV, but this is clearly better than the top end Roku. Also, I’m not sure if it is the same on older tvs

The other thing is that you want to hard wire if at all possible. Even the best wifi can’t touch the reliability of a wire

Seems like your edge server is acting as a proxy for a media server on some other host on your LAN.

You want to make sure that the media server software is setup securely, patched, and properly isolated from anything else in LAN should that become compromised. Proxy closes off a lot of attack vectors but not application vulnerabilities. The Lastpass hack happened because of some vulnerability in an employees home plex server.

Fiction is fiction.

In real life, stalking the victim for months, sniper shots, or anything that involves any sort of sofisticiation or team of people is asking to get caught.

KISS principle. A successful hit would be as simple as possible, happen fast with no prior interaction, and involve as few people as possible.

Since when has any hobby with an engine been “inexpensive”

I was running for a couple of years , and my knee started to give me problems.

I went to an orthopedic Dr, and his advice was to take up swimming and if I wanted to keep running that I should hold on to his business card because someone needed to pay for his kids’ college.

I stopped running soon after and avoided surgery for a decade, but it still caught up with me. Knees are definitely cheap with for-profit healthcare.

+1 for hard copy. Hang/tape right on or next to the rack.

UPS batteries are really dangerous because you cannot turn them off. They are also high enough voltage and current to harm you through arc flash and burns.

The other thing with small UPS batteries is that there are usually multiple batteries. There are fuses between the battery string and the circuit board but not between each battery in the string.

OP may have connected batteries wrong or he put a new battery in a string with a shorted/dead battery.

Whenever you are going to string multiple batteries together always disconnect batteries and check voltage on each separate battery to make sure that they are the same or very close in voltage. If different charge to the same level. Any difference in voltage between the cells will cause current flow that can cause a fire hazard.

Something supported by Rock Box firmware.

Back in the day I flashed a HDD iPad with this open source firmware. ITunes was a system crushing bloated DRM piece of crap. RockBox turned in into a portable hard drive that played everything great.

KDE.

Back when everyone was failing horribly trying to come up with a new desktop that nobody wanted KDE was the only one to get it right.

Instead of trying to shovel some bullshit “next generation” interface down your throat they decided to make all of the interface parts modular.

If you want traditional start menu you can have it, want Mac style dock got that covered, want a touch/table type interface it’s in there. If you can’t make up your mind you can setup activities to flip back and forth.

Gmail on mobile.

Thunderbird on the desktop. I keep TB running all the time to do filtering. Google filtering is lacking.
