Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That's where the real money is.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.
Playtests typically involves a full on NDA for this reason. If your playtest is aimed at creators that are allowed to stream it's not a playtest, it's a marketing exercise.
Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.
PentA game
One of the good things valve has been doing recently is cracking down hard on smurfs/alts. I started league last year and was often the only actual new player in the game. Imagine the amount of toxicity I got when people found out there was an actual noob in their new Smurf's matchmaking.
Bad play doesn't matter as much if everyone is actually on the same level. If everybody is bad, nobody is.
Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren't implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
These days you're still free to ruin everyone's day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.
As a European, US politics is a good comedy
It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.
Making a typo in the BGP config is the internet's version of nuclear Armageddon
They're called digital signage displays. Those module slots are usually in the intel SDM form factor.
This stuff is expensive as these displays and modules are rated for 24/7 operation and the software they ship with by default is specifically made to manage content on a large fleet of them.
You're honestly gonna get a way better experience for cheaper by getting a normal TV + a NUC/Nvidia shield and just not connecting the TV to a network ever.
There's actually an HAI video on that. Those names were actually a direct result of an attempt by Amazon to curate their products better. https://youtu.be/_Bq-6GeRhys?si=ih1eyBLJwo7KAVuS
For some reason every registrars dns panel has its own weird restrictions, bugs and interface quirks. Pointing the nameservers to Cloudflare at least makes for a consistent experience.
Yes we do,
However they don't hold much power over the day to day workings of the country.
The current monarch is essentially an ambassador that travels around the world for state visits and diplomatic talks. Similar to what a president and foreign minister would do.
I doubt support for the royals would be so high if not for all the national and international PR work that they do.
Those are some peak water polo nails.
What kind of storage usage can I expect from running this? I would also assume that the database would heavily prefer solid state storage?
Edit: the author answered that question here already: https://lemmy.world/comment/4148270
Between power, hardware depreciation, Usenet/indexer fees and VPN I probably pay somewhere like €50/month to curate my own media collection.
I'd be happy to pay the same for a legal platform that has all the content I want in the same place, like Spotify for music (which I use and pay for).
Right now the piracy experience for movies/series is simply superior to the legal experience , so there is absolutely no incentive for me to switch things up.
Unfortunately that works less and less as "AI" continues to be more important in gathering results. Luckily there are other tricks like searching for pdfs only, exclude the 'corrected' words , or simply trying multiple search engines.
If it's only you (or your household) that is accessing the services then something like hosting a tailscale VPN is a relatively user friendly and safe way to set-up remote access.
If not, then you'd probably want to either use the aforementioned Cloudflare tunnels, or set up a reverse proxy container (nginx proxy manager is quite nice for this as it also handles certs and stuff for you). Then port forward ports 80 and 443 to the server (or container if you give it a separate IP). This can be done in your router.
In terms of domain set-up. I've always found subdomains (homeassistant.domain.com) to be way less of a hassle compared to directories (domain.com/homeassistant) since the latter may need additional config on the application end.
Get a cheap domain at like Cloudflare and use CNAME records that point domain.com and *.domain.com to your dyndns host. Iirc there's also some routers/containers that can do ddns with Cloudflare directly, so that might be worth a quick check too.
You essentially pay for convenience. If there was a streaming service that had everything I would gladly pay good money for it, since there isn't, I have to curate my own library instead.
Having good indexers/Usenet providers and automations takes away a lot, if not all the time needed to hunt down good releases. That saved time and hassle is what's worth the ~100/year for me.
Doesn't steam allow you to pick a specific update for your game?
Nog defending this practice at all, but a fun little fact is that if you get a Mac instance on AWS (and other cloud providers) It's literally a normal mac mini in a rack enclosure.
I've got wireless charging pads/stations/car holder everywhere. Super convenient to just drop your phone down and keep it charged.
My phone's usb C port got so loose after ~2.5 years that cables would just fall out, so I fully committed to QI charging to preserve whatever is left of that port for things like data transfer.
They did have some programs to try and push more apps, but dropped the ball far too quickly for it to gain traction.
Microsoft essentially shipped free phones out to everyone that wanted to make or port a windows phone app. Heck, I got one just to port over the schedule app I made for my small high school at the time and had maybe 300 installs.
The dev environment was actually a lot nicer to work with than the android one at the time as well.
Each manufacturer has their bad batches tbh. I've got 12 WD 3TB's that have been running without a single failure for years, but of the six 4TB WD's that I bought later five have died already. I've been replacing those with 8TB ironwolfs, which have so far been behaving well.
If you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.
Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.
Chiming in a bit further on this. Quite a few (Google) devices and apps have started using DNS over Https servers to circumvent things like pihole. Blocking known IP's on my firewall has helped effectiveness quite a bit.
There's a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.
I've had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.
Talking about Lan uplinks, in the early 2010's I had the joy of working with a 20gb uplink at a small university LAN (the sysadmin got a good amount of free pizza and beers for that one). I spent a large amount of my savings on a 10gb NIC only to find out my hard drive couldn't keep up lol.
Searching for that Miele C1 canister that's being talked about and it's one of those wheeled ones you pull along behind you.
To me that's just the standard type of vacuum that literally everyone has except for the few flashy gits that have a cordless 'upright' one.
We have a bunch of torrent compacts at work and they're honestly great cases too. Also very good at keeping high end parts cool at a low noise level.
I've always been a fan of closed Fractal cases. They do no-non sense right.
HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It's a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.
There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won't play hevc files/streams without that license installed.
VLC doesn't really seem to care about those things though and it's better than the default anyways.
Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying
The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I've had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.
Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.
Guess I'm a bit too young for that still lol. We got a pair of ISDN2 lines in 1994 (so technically also 256k lol) at home, but I was too young to remember that. With cable internet coming in 97, that was technically still slower than bonded isdn at the very start.
In a way I was very privileged growing up when it came to Internet. My dad's company at the time paid good money to get all the latest (often testing phase) stuff to his house in return for being available 24/7.
People have done it on M1's at least. You'll need a well equipped rework station to do it though, especially since the NAND is essentially glued to the motherboard in addition to solder.
As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google's 'did you mean' is the bane of my existence.
