Between those two, the 7. The 6a has the same horrendous modem as the 6/6Pro. It's the only phone series I've ever felt the need to upgrade from at the 1 year mark. Multiple family members and I had so many situations where the thing just would abruptly drop all data service until it was rebooted or toggled airplane mode. Would not recommend any of the 6 series unless you're primarily on WiFi.

Nope. Runs Linux and there are launchers for pretty much all the other games stores. It's just a significantly smoother process for things you have in Steam because of the work Valve has done on Linux compatibility.

Blocked by a Republican judge.

Same. Firefox Mobile had been a laggy mess when I used it a few years ago, but a combination of some really aggressive advertising and the announcement of manifest v3 caused me to give it another shot about a year ago. It's a dramatic improvement in phone browsing.

The more I've thought about it the more I think Pete really is one of the safer candidates in that list. He's already been vetted at the national level from the 2020 cycle. He's wicked smart, is a great debater, and from the people who have seen him speak gets people excited. He has a national presence already and doesn't require giving up a governorship or senate seat.

He won the Iowa caucus in 2020 but because of their whole glitch thing it wasn't official until days later. Should bring some good Midwest support too being from Indiana and presently living in Michigan.

Yes she'd be 35 before taking office.

Anything I've listened to with Ray Porter reading it. His intonation is great and just brings that something extra to the stories. In particular Project Hail Mary and the Bobiverse books. He also did Paradox Bound, which felt like a fine time travel story but his portrayal of the voice of the "faceless men" made the character 's menace come to life for me in a way I don't think would be captured in text.

Agreed. Pete in the debate would have been a dramatically different situation. I'd happily watch him fact check all day long.

Yep, I saw that line and have zero patience for these people. I have a birth defect that made it impossible for my wife and I to naturally conceive. In our case IVF was the ONLY viable treatment option.

We were lucky enough to be successful and we're presently sitting at the hospital waiting for the birth of our first child. We plan to have another from our remaining frozen embryos. Our timetable may be moved up though by the threat of a bunch of morons trying to legislate our health and ability to have the family we want.

Prosthetist. I work with patients to make and fit artificial limbs to them.

From the "redirect the vents" side of things, I've been doing this manually for the 7 years with no ill effects. Last year I added a Flair system and Ecobee to automatically balance using the registers. They have back pressure detection to prevent damage to the HVAC system so there's always enough vents open. At least in my scenario it's been a game changer for the third floor of our townhouse. As we've headed into warmer months our bedroom is actually cool in the evenings and the lower floors are normal temperatures. During the winter our living space on the second floor was cozy without blasting the bedrooms and making it too hot to sleep. With the number of vents I had it cost just over 1K to do, but that was way cheaper than it would have been to have the house and system rezoned.

I'm into smarthome stuff so now I've actually got room level presence detection going and tying that back to Flair with Home Assistant so we only cool or heat occupied rooms. Wife is a very happy camper in her now temperature controlled office, and it only targets the office when she's in it.

When I bought my 3 it was $2200 including the harness for my car. Now the newer 3X is $1450 including harness (economies of scale!). I've been running it for 2 and a half years now and have 80,000 miles logged in my unit.

I'm using it in a 2016 Civic Touring which was their original dev car model so it's well documented and had a modification available to get necessary torque in tighter highway turns and be able to slow to and resume from stop. Other cars may work better or worse in terms of torque and ability to control speed. They have pretty extensive vehicle listings on their site and GitHub detailing the capabilities they are available depending on the car.

I don't work for Comma or anything, just am a fan of the tech and how it has allowed the controls in my car to get better over time rather than being stuck with what they shipped in 2016. My wife's 2021 CR-V has better stock driver assist than my 2016 Civic, but my Comma's assist experience today is far better than either stock system.

A Comma 3 driver assist system for my car. I drive a lot for work, and it's an absolute game changer for driving distance as an enhancement to the stock LKAS and ACC systems. Highway miles are dramatically less strain and effort, and it makes me more able to watch the flow of traffic and keep an eye out for hazards. Their tagline is that they're "making driving chill" and it's definitely the case as long as you have a fully compatible vehicle.

Lots of good advice here. I've got a bunch of older WD Reds still in service (from before the SMR BS). I've also had good luck shucking drives from external enclosures as well as decommissioned enterprise drives. If you go that route, depending on your enclosure or power supply in these scenarios you may run into issues with a live 3.3V SATA power pin causing drives to reboot. I've never had this issue on mine but it can be fixed with a little kapton tape or a modified SATA adapter. It's definitely cheaper to shuck or get used enterprise for capacity! I'm running at least a dozen shucked drives right now and they've been great for my needs.

Also, if you start reaching the point of going beyond the ports available on your motherboard, do yourself a favor and get a quality HBA card flashed in IT mode to connect your drives. The cheapo 4 port cards I originally tried would have random dropouts in Unraid from time to time. Once I got a good HBA it's been smooth sailing. It needs to be in IT mode to prevent hardware raid from kicking in so that Unraid can see the individual identifiers of the disks. You can flash it yourself or use an eBay seller like ThArtOfServer who will preflash them to IT mode.

Finally, be aware that expanding your array is a slippery slope. You start with 3 or 4 drives and next thing you know you have a rack and 15+ drive array.

Aaaaand yes, this judge was another Trump appointee.

It seems a lot of the new ones have a cellular modem. On the surface it's to let you remotely access the car or do a remote start. Even if you don't pay to subscribe and use it for your purposes they can utilize it to transfer out the data.

Ditto. Mine was stolen out of my car 9 years ago and I still miss it.

I don't think I realized that was a limitation because I've been using the Vaultwarden fork. https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

Same, though I've got a couple Decepticons sprinkled in. They all connect to the Allspark ssid.

Now they've even started offering this at the check-in counter! Critically it's after the "pay us $35 to check your bag" screen. It says it's a one time special offer but I've done it a half dozen times now on American and twice on United. Bag just is supposed to be carry on sized. I don't even have to take it through security when this option is available.
