  • Because reviewers started obsessing with zero bezels and thinness, so manufacturers had to also maximize those things.

    I saw a laptop review where there was a hole punch camera, so no mechanical shutter. The yt personality thought that was stupid, so they asked the manufacturer what they were thinking. “Our last product had the shutter but you gave it a poor review because the bezels were too big. We designed for smaller bezels to get a better review”



  • I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.

    My modem is plugged into that.

    I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.

    I use it to put transaction dollar limits on my subscriptions, satellite radio in particular, so they can’t jack up my rates automatically.

    I don’t put much stock in privacy.com being truly private, but it does break the data chain of using the same card for everything. I wish my credit union offered virtual cards.





  • To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-

    My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”

    So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.
