Looks like it’s also a variant of Synergy, so I guess it’s just the same. There’s a lot of different forks of it, I’m not sure which one is the ‘best’ these days.

Maybe to connect to their update servers and validate updated binaries or something like that? Not sure if it supported calling home to get updates.

I mean, it’s the smart thing to do (even from a purely selfish perspective where you want to make sure the project continues to go into the development direction that keeps making you money), but it’s not something that’s actionable in court or anything like that.

There’s no expectation to contribute back when you use FOSS software, that makes no sense. I’m running Linux on like 10 devices and I’ve never merged anything in the kernel.

Yeah, I have the same issue with WhatsApp. I have a group with my wife and parents that my parents just called myfirstname/wifefirstname, which makes no sense to us (on our end we’d like to call it ‘jonne’s parents’ or whatever).

Same with any other group chat we’d like to start that includes a tradie or whatever.

I’m sure it’s fun for your average plumber to have 50 different group chats with clients that are all called ‘plumber’.

And election campaigns only last a few weeks as opposed to the seemingly constant campaign in the US.

And parties publish manifestos with their positions on everything, as opposed to what both major parties are currently doing.

Let’s start by putting up cameras in all his houses.

And I don’t get why they would use it for graphics instead of using an AI coprocessor to do interesting stuff in games, like generating dialogue, complex missions, smarter NPCs, maps, etc.

You could build worlds where stuff happens that isn’t just governed by randomly doing stuff based on triggers.

Not sure if it’s compatible with your particular lock, but I’ve got switchbot stuff integrated into home assistant without issue (using their hub).

For a lot of devices that will leave an unsecured wifi network on that will

• allow any passerby to just set it up under their account and potentially mess with it
• use up valuable WiFi channels you might want to use for your own network

Yeah, I ran the update but haven’t noticed a difference, mostly because I wasn’t having issues to begin with I guess.

Yeah, why the hell is OP using SMS?

He got rid of everyone else when he took over, he’s still dealing with court cases about how he handled that.

Having worked with designers in an ad agency (although not a designer myself), the male designers didn’t ever have a good thing to say about the work of any of the female designers. Consequently, none of them stuck around for long (one of them is a creative director in a big agency now, so presumably she wasn’t that bad).

Then again, they were assholes in many other respects as well, and the guys in the next companies I worked for were a lot better.

And all these laws have carveouts for emergencies. Although I have a feeling Mr O’Leary would probably count having to do a presentation on Monday morning for some guy he met golfing over the weekend an emergency.

Or back in the days where Google Reader was a thing, one request from them could represent millions of readers.

Have you considered only backing up the data you can’t replace relatively easily? I would look into a strategy of periodically backing up the list of media in a format that can easily be imported into Radarr or whichever system you used to acquire them. Sure, if the worst happens it’ll take forever to redownload, but you can just prioritise the things you want to watch right now while everything’s rebuilding in the background.

Definitely do back up photos, documents and your home directory (excluding stuff like a steam library), but hopefully you should be able to fit all that on a NAS or external HD.

Ah, that makes sense I guess.

Seems like a really old game to be porting. Is the Quest that underpowered?

To visit relatives mostly. And it’s a big tourist destination in the Muslim world because of some more permissive laws regarding alcohol and the like.
