  • Probably get myself elected somewhere and use my privileges to screw the country for millions in the same way that my elected representatives have been doing since this century started.

    Doing a decent job for the country's citizens seems rather passe these days.

  • Biggest mistake is not repeating the wash-rinse twice. Ask a hairdresser why they do it that way.

  • Wow! That's unexpected, because of the memory limitation. I have a Pi3 with Fedora IoT with a target on its back for a Home Assistant container. (I see another comment here notes 400MB of memory use so it seems much smaller than I expected.)

    Could I ask how many devices it's dealing with, or because I'm not running Home Assistant yet, whether routine number/complexity is a better metric? (That question went bad somewhere, excuse me.)

  • Sounds idyllic. Back in the day ('95 ish) Mrs and I flew into Boston and toured the five states around there in about two-three weeks (!) just getting a taster. Went back again later but had mother-in-law and kids with us so look-see wasn't going to happen.

    Loved New England, especially the seafood (even the tourist version) but couldn't do the over-commercialisation (ten minutes of programme then five of adverts).

    By contrast, I love the looser financial controls. I passed the US SEC Series 7 and UK Registered Representatives prior, so the contrast was immediate.

    Being in the middle of nowhere with a media server in the internet age sounds the best of both worlds.

    Getting my hands dirty with copper and blowtorches was for fun only. I think I made a mistake - AI is a thing.

    Congrats sir! Enjoy!

  • That's the thing I'm taking about!

    It's a bit scary tbh. If you don't do (steer) what it says it shakes the steering wheel as if a wheel was seriously unbalanced or broken.

    It's my first new-to-me car in a while. So I'm enjoying most of the new tech but not quite this bit!

  • Well said! Blighty here.

    There were so many complaints on the forums about it that I thought it was going to be a nightmare, but it's not quite as bad as I was expecting TBF. I just have to be very careful on road merges and those funky country lanes.

    Didn't get to visit Pittsburgh so far but would love to, country is a necessarily shrinking resource here these days.

  • Future advert: free additive with every packet of meth.

  • There are specific directives for Audi, BMW and Mercedes which void their warranties should you ever even think such scandalous thoughts as using the indicators individually; not using them to say that you know you're parking in a stupid place, angle across a pavement but you're only buying some chocolate from that corner shop.

    My car has lane detection such that my steering is 'corrected' if I don't use an indicator. It gets confused on country roads and often tries to steer into the hedge or ditch. Fucking thing. It can't be turned off long term, but only ever time one turns on the ignition.

  • [sorry, NFC!]

    I'm in the UK. I'll have to look it up.

  • UniFi seem to have dabbled with 2.5 GBE briefly and then jumped to 10. I'm guessing that 10 will be the way to go.

    You're looking at cat 6A patch leads rather than 7. 7 requires different but RJ45 compatible connectors, I believe. Yes, I'm still trying to understand what the difference is.

    I have a 2.5G router, the CG Max. A 1 G switch (waiting for a reasonably priced 10 G) and a 10 G WAP. It's a bit of a mess!

  • One always minimises attack surfaces and the possibility of fat fingered mistakes. The lower privileges that you grant yourself the better.

    You'd think that Dave Cutler who, I believe, designed Windows NT coming from a Unix style background would have followed these principles but no. I discovered *nix late sadly.

  • Thank-you.

    Off topic: I keep meaning to ask this; am I still able to use wallet like applications to make RFID payments with GrapheneOS?

    I'm one of those strange people that spends physical cash like water but much better with electronic currency.

    I think that's the only thing that stops me bar having to get a new battery.

  • TIL that I'm cynical. Damn.

    Looks like my next but one phone will be a iPhone. I never imagined that I would ever say that. Ever.

    Google let me down when visual voicemail (or whatever they were going to call it) failed to appear!
