You are still likely going to want some sort of streaming device though. I have an old computer of mine running unraid with Plex in a docker container and still use a chromecast in apps only mode to stream to my TV.

Ideally they also support a hardware key. Not nearly enough websites out there support FIDO/Webauthn.

For me there are two things that makes me reject all self checkout. Most importantly, it is taking people's jobs and making me do the labour for no discount, companies only offer them because it pads their profits. Second, the user experience is almost universally terrible. I don't want to take the risk just to get pissed off.

The power situation on RPi has been shit since at least the 3B. I have plenty of powerful enough brand name USB power adapters that give low voltage warnings but work perfectly fine if you ignore it. It is way too sensitive.

At least in my experience, if a skip level is contacting you about feedback they normally know something isn't right and want to gather examples. Just give objective feedback with specific examples of when you have seen it.

Yes, also Lithium Manganese Spinel cells have been around since 1996 and also don't contain any nickel and cobalt. This is good but many vehicles and devices still use NMC and NCA due to the better specific energy density which is where LFP is limited (but can output more power and is much safer). Tesla (and every EV manufacturer) compromises on the battery depending on what chemistry they use, where if they could reduce the need for expensive metals while maintaining specific energy it would be pretty newsworthy.

Also, lithium is of pretty low concern when it comes to the materials in current cells. Stuff like cobalt and nickel are more critical and would be larger news.

Does the hyphen get accepted everywhere? I use aliases already for every sign up but a shocking number of websites reject emails with the + sign as invalid, often the ones I'm most concerned about.

I think we are quite a long time from 6E becoming congested. The equpiment is just too expensive right now (nevermind the price of Wifi 7 equipment). In my pretty densely populated area I have zero other 6GHz networks visible from my place.

Wifi 6E already does that, I get about 940 Mbps with my phone on my 6GHz network. That is maybe 10 Mbps less than I get wired.

I'm not going to bother with speech on it as I don't really like talking to my devices. How assistant is definitely in consideration for the screen though if I don't get magic mirror working to my liking.

I just don't get how all of these "Smart" devices continue to get stupider. Why are they removing existing features or making them worse to use?

It's gotten to the point where I'm currently working on a project to roll my own dumb smart display and speakers with a RPi, Magic Mirror, and a DAC/amp hat.

Now? FPGAs have been a thing for decades and are the closest thing I can see to getting custom chips made without massive investments.

It is a bad idea to have your password manager and 2FA be the same app though. You want to spread it around so one attack can't break your logins.

Yup. Though printers like the Bambu A1mini are very good and nearing that $300 level.

Only buy an ender if you want 3D printers to be your hobby. Buy something better if you want 3D printing to be your hobby.

Its all bullshit for maximising ARPU. Public Mobile exists for users that are price conscious but you don't get any international roaming. Koodo is the step up for people that need roaming (if only SMS 2FA wasn't a thing). Then moving up to Telus is for people who don't know any better or don't give a shit about price.

I mean, it is kinda their fault in the first place for using an optional corporate service that stores very private data of yours which could be used in malicious ways.

Does this include people that just use their Starbucks cards for frequent purchases? I always have up to $25 on my card for the one or two times a week I get something. That is just money I haven't spent yet, and I'm fully aware that I could just use it up if I stopped going to Starbucks.

Or a Rick Mercer rant (that is a very specifically Canadian use though)

This definitely looks like a bed cleanliness issue. IPA doesn't really remove oil, it mostly just spreads it around. Soap is needed to lift the oils off the surface. You shouldn't need a scourer, just a paper towel works fine.
