There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.

Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it's way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven't checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.

I don't see how an email that has no proof of delivery (could have ended in spam for example) would be legally binding.

Accepting a ToS update simply by virtue of no action is also questionable unless provisions permitting that were in the ToS you've accepted and even then it would not work in the European Union, because that's listed in the forbidden clauses registry.

Yes. PSN is only available in about 70 countries (out of 190). E.g. in the entire continent of Africa only one country has access.

Even some members of European Union don't get PSN.

Decibel scale is logarithmic, which means 10db change is reducing perceived volume by half.

I gave up on everyone: I've packed my shit and moved back to the EU, to a middle of nowhere, population 50. Closest neighbor is a 10 minute walk away. Started a large garden, learned some blacksmithing and basic carpentry. Still working remotely for the same company as before, but now when I go outside I have fresh air, I can see the stars and I can hear nobody.

Friend has a cobol + IBM AIX combo going for him and his on call + at most 1 day/week of work position pays more than my full time very senior dev role.

I've put an ocean between myself and the US.

I'm torn if I should be nodding and patting myself on the back for not doing any of this insanity or cackling and taking notes..

Budget (about 200 euro):

  • Mikrotik hex s router
  • TP-Link eap610 access point
  • Unmanaged trendnet switch

Better(400-500 euro):

TP-Link omada line is basically a bunch of ubiquity clones at much lower price

Unless you are trying to get a job with min/max age requirements, like airline pilot or us president, age provides no valuable information to potential employer other than a factor to illegally discriminate on.

We talk briefly 2-3 times a year, see each other even less frequently, despite it being less than a two hour drive. Neither side is looking to change that despite us growing up together in a happy family and there being no reason for us to avoid each other. It could be that we all don't value social interactions very highly in general.

Almost. a 10db change is a 10x difference in power and roughly 2x difference in perceived loudness

Encasing him in concrete would work ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If you charge overnight set an alarm - most phones will automatically slow down charging to the safest rate that will get it to 100% before alarm

I'd have no problem accepting a free car

Realistically the best you can hope for is many of them opting to not vote at all.

Every time an ISP does that around here they send you a notification via certified mail with a prepaid return envelope and a service cancellation form included - you can decide to not continue using the service without any early cancellations fees etc.

If they fail to do that they get fined by consumer protection agency, are required to return any fees they charged based on the change and they get to start over - send a notification that follows the rules resetting the clock for those who opt to cancel

I hate mosquitos enough to be willing to roll the dice on this one

He has been "the author" in polish fiction for decades and he didn't handle it well. I met him about 20 years ago and he's already been a douche back then.

Emigration due to the war is about 10x of the Russian losses as reported by Ukraine

There are no dumb TVs if you want e.g. OLED. The closest you can get is a smart tv that you never connect to the internet. If you like 4k HDR it will still be a major pain..

It mostly is, but it has it's drawbacks:

  • if I don't feel like cooking I don't have an option of ordering a pizza or eating out - I'm outside of delivery range of everything
  • closest town has limited choice of everything. I have to get everything shipped or drive for 1.5h.
  • anything but essential services is more than half an hour away

also you end up thinking weird thoughts few people have before: e.g. "how do I stop moose from trampling my garlic?" I mean how many people throughout human history had pondered that? ;-)

It's not about what people who vote from him will get, it's what he promises to take away from people they don't like.

I was on a flight to Europe just as COVID was beginning - early 2020 - and flight crew outnumbered passengers, which was nice. I got stuck in EU for over half a year past my planned return date because of cancelled flights, which was less nice..

For anything other than house roof solar price per kw is going to be the deciding factor. Rural land is very cheap compared to solar panels - we're talking about a 100:1 cost ratio.

Napoleon sent polish troops to fight a slave rebellion, poles declared they were supposed to fight for freedom not against it and changed sides.

Sony is fairly close

I only have one that is the source of my stress - I'm the guy in charge of keeping the servers running

Same setup, a bit more shaves - I'd say 6 on average

For me that's achieved by being 6 timezones ahead - I finish work, turn off my computer and go to sleep.

Staying home, preferably by the fireplace, if temps drop below 10C/50F

I don't even have my age on mine.

Idk what the AIX job market is right now, but several years ago banks in central Europe poached employees back and forth just to reach minimum staff required.

Quick Google search confirms this: adaptive charging only works if alarm if 5am or later and charging starts at 10pm or later

Well, it definitely would not be easy to use in Poland: according to the last census out of almost 38,000,000 people fewer than 200 are black.

It skews the results towards christian-backed candidates - Sunday mass gets people out of their houses, clergy reminds them to vote and at least hints who they should vote for and they do on their way home.

  • No SBC that I know of can handle 4k 120Hz HDR output, so getting the most of moonlight is not possible.
  • Low latency decode requires some work to get running
  • AV1 encode/decode has even more latency, do you will be running higher bitrate h264, which in turn means wired network connection is recommended.
  • Streaming services limit 4k and/or HDR access on a lot of content to locked devices. E.g. Netflix only guarantees 720p sdr when watching in a browser - how much more you get depends on the deal with the copyright holder.

Tl;dr; a long, active fiber HDMI cable + USB over IP might be cheaper, better and easier. That's what I ended up buying despite the cable length being 60m (200ft).

You can't create a PSN account in something like 190 countries and regions, including some European Union member countries, all of Africa except one country, etc.
