It still functions as a thermostat. You simply can’t access the smart features like presence sensing (to automatically turn your system off when you’re not home) or cloud control, (so you can’t adjust the temperature from your phone anymore). But it’ll still continue to function as a dumb thermostat. You set the temperature at the unit, and it holds said temperature until you change it.

Jellyfin can use .m3u playlists for live TV. It’s a bit of work to get it going, but it is possible.

The point of the book isn’t just “people are the real monsters”, but also that evil begets evil. The creature is only ever shown hatred and cruelty, so it begins acting out as something that should be hated. By the end of the book, it has murdered multiple people. The victim eventually becomes the victimizer, which brings the tragedy full circle.

Simply saying “The creature was a victim” lacks any kind of nuance regarding the rest of the book. Yes, the creature was a victim. Then it became a monster, because it had always been treated as if it was one.

It’s a rest/do shit at home/Dr appt day.

In other words, you’re using your vacation time to sleep. Which means the headline is accurate. Americans are in a weird limbo where they have juuuuust enough vacation time to feel like they have enough. But not enough to actually plan any big trips, and not enough money to actually afford it. So they just end up using it to get an extra day off once or twice a month, to be able to catch up on all the shit they are behind on in their personal lives.

Because the 40 hour work week was made with the intent of having one adult working to support the household, while the other adult took care of the errands and chores. But since wages have stagnated, families can’t afford to live off of just one income anymore. So both adults end up working, which means the household suffers.

Just make serifs for the I standard, even with sans-serif fonts.

Yeah, plenty of indie games do really well on mobile formats. Slay the Spire, Balatro, Vampire Survivors, etc… All of those have really basic click-and-drag controls, which means they translate to touchscreen really well. Or if you’re willing to use a Bluetooth controller, (I keep one in my bag), then games like Dead Cells or emulators.

This is actually a tactic listed in the official CIA “Simple Sabotage” handbook. Basically, if you can’t overtly sabotage things by blowing them up while maintaining your cover, work to sabotage things from inside instead.

Get a job in middle management, and do everything in your power to live up to the term “middle manglement”. Do your job as poorly as possible while still maintaining plausible deniability. Make it difficult for people around you to do their jobs. Give other managers bad info. Sow division via gossip. Divert employees towards busy work so they can’t focus on important tasks. Waste budgets. Ensure deadlines get missed, while demanding unreasonable deadlines for other teams. Et cetera…

And I can guarantee that generals will be well aware of this fact. Plenty of them got into their spots by being war dogs, but they won’t be stupid.

Every single statement they have made about the topic should be admissible as evidence to be used against them in court during sentencing. Every single time they have suggested stricter punishments should be compiled into a list and tacked onto their sentence.

Even MAGA isn’t safe. There have been a lot of faces eaten by leopards, and they haven’t all been left of MAGA. If anything, this really just proves that being the token friend doesn’t protect you. Being “one of the good ones” isn’t good enough. The only thing that matters is conformity, and things like non-conforming race, gender, or sexuality will be punished regardless of who you voted for.

Also fairly common with cops to not live inside of their own precinct. Because nobody wants to be the neighbor who hands out tickets. I know a cop who does stand up comedy, but she specifically avoids doing any comedy inside of her own jurisdiction. Because her interactions are her standup content, and there’s a non-zero chance that the person she’s telling a story about could be in (or have friends in) the audience.

Yes. You only need to pay if you’re connecting via their relay or trying to use the remote hosting functionality. But since a VPN would land you inside of the network, you’d be fine. You’d probably need to dig into the plex settings to specify that the VPN subnet is LAN traffic. But after that, you should be good.

I mean, you just listed the most insecure way to host Jellyfin. Poking a hole in your firewall will technically work, but that doesn’t mean it’s the correct way to do things. A good setup would use a reverse proxy, and some sort of authentication wall like Authentik or Authelia.

All of that would only take about 15 minutes for someone who knows what they’re doing. But the vast majority of people setting up Jellyfin for the first time won’t know what they’re doing. And seeing the inevitable “lol just open your firewall” comments only serves to scare them away, because even the noobs have heads that’s the wrong way to do things.

Main game on my center screen. RuneScape and/or Discord/web browser on my side screen.

Fine. Hop in a car, and get on the nearest highway. Every time you come to a fork, roll a die to see which direction you go. 24 hours is a long time to drive, but not impossible. And assuming a truly random path, he’d have no hope of predicting where you were going to try and head you off. Hell, stop over and rent a new car whenever you’re running low on gas, just to make things even more confusing; You’re about to win $3B, so what is a few hundred dollars in rental car fees?

Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

Professor Moriarty would also likely be disinterested in actually coming after you. He only targeted Holmes because Holmes kept uncovering his criminal plans. He began to see Holmes as a roadblock, and was continuously frustrated by Holmes’ investigative abilities. As long as you weren’t in Moriarty’s way and didn’t have anything to offer him, he likely wouldn’t care about you. After all, his public image was that of a respected scholar. You’d be a little fish in a very big pond, and Moriarty was smart enough to recognize that going after you would net him nothing in return.

So… Sealioning? That just sounds like Sealioning to me.

Yup, versioned files ALWAYS get a YYYY-MM-DD HHMM timestamp. So when you sort alphabetically, they sort chronologically.

It has a decent community, yes. It’s basically the go-to gaming distro for many people.

Because China supposedly used Nvidia cards to train DeepSeek, which blew all of the US AI out of the water. And apparently that raised some eyebrows, because Nvidia wasn’t supposed to be selling to China (free market, right?). Since China was eating big tech’s lunch, they cried to republicans (and gave them a bunch of reelection money) and now we have this bill. The point is to be able to remotely disable cards if they’re outside of their sale region.
