So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

I guarantee you half the people are here and got started self-hosting BECAUSE they wanted to start pirating.

Relax guys. It’s a Nintendo Switch, those things never get hacked.

You guys had savings?

Yeah, I see both parts of this.

BOOX advertises “Super Refresh” which makes eink almost able to play a YouTube video. There’s a lot of software (and probably hardware) development there.

Google still issues security patches for Android 12 as well.

It could be much worse. At least BOOX issues updates….

I love Dashlane, someone tell me why it’s bad.

But during game time, best possible choice.

Mainstream NASs (like Synology and QNAP) are very good at what they’re built for, which is be available on the network and have plenty of storage.

They CAN do more, but then you start to notice the limitations. It is still “just a NAS.” It’s not called a NASAHVAVMM (Network Attached Storage and Hypervisor and VM Manager)

If you want to do what you described, a smaller NAS would probably be good for backups, but look into a fully fledged, capable server too.

Have you looked up raspberry pi magic mirror projects?

You don’t have to use a a mirror, but just a pi and an old monitor mounted on the wall would probably accomplish everything you need.

Most services that convert a link to a QR code absolutely track their users. bit.ly (the URL shortening company) has a paid service to track where, when, and device IDs of who accessed the link whether it was through their shortened URL or the conveniently generated QR code that they can also make you.

Satellites do in fact go over other countries.

Anyone have recommendations for MICR compatible printers that AREN’T HP? It’s the last HP product we have in my office.

I still randomly see myssid 4 (or some other random number) on Windows 11 with no explanation.

I think purchasing a public company and promising a donation are two different things.

Dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 on my parents desktop.

I broke the boot loader so many times that my mom learned what GRUB was just so she was sure she could yell at me and it wasn’t just our ancient desktop finally dying.

If you saw someone smoking next to a diesel tanker, would you go hang out with them?

I let my wife talk me into getting a Brazilian with her this year. I’ve gone every 4 weeks since and I have to say, it’s a life changing experience.

No more wiping for more than about 4 times. No chafing. No stubble. Just smooth hairless ass-crack.
