There are hosted versions you can just use without installing at home.

I’m using SEARXNG. It’s a search engine aggrigate and you can mix and match where you want your results to come from. It’s like using Google from a decade ago.

We gonna have to worry about 7zip?

Yeah, sadly a good color e-ink screens seems like one of those techs that is always a couple years away. It seems like maybe the demand just isn’t there for R&D with everyone having large form factor phones these days.

This was my fear, thanks. When I saw what they were doing with it I was like come on, who needs to take notes in color.

I really REALLY love my Kobo Libre 2, it’s a fantastic reader. I would like to move the Color version, but they didn’t actually show anything like a graphic novel, guess I’ll be waiting for reviews, not sure why they wouldn’t show the most common use for one of these unless maybe it’s not great at it.

I just built a 13700k system for a lab box. My plan all along was undervolt (stable .130 undervolt) and limit max PL2 to 175w. I probably get 85% or better of listed performance and it runs a cool 60° even under max load, which I will frequently run for 24h at a time. For me, cool and stable was always the goal, sounds like this is just bearing out my decision.

Note, I would have gone AMD, but I needed quicksync for Plex.

I would guess probably not soon. Windows still needs to be able to comply with many industries needs for compliance (ITAR, HIPAA, Financial, etc etc.) If they remove the ability to control this, they cut themselves out of their largest profit area (corporate licensing).

So many headline readers. To be honest, 99% of these problems that folks rage about could be resolved with a group policy (local or domain). The problem is, Windows is like 73% of worldwide OS usage, so like it or not, there is a lot of trying to protect the user from themselves. Team Linux can’t fathom that because they come from the perspective that they can build thier experience from the ground up to be exactly as they like. The VAST majority of people don’t want that, they want something that works and they don’t really care what happens behind the curtains. I would wager that 90% of users could care less what browser they use (or would even notice if it changed!) as long as they still had access to their bookmarks.

I would like to share a positive experience from this new driver the article is about. I use notepad++ and setting it as the default was kind of a pain in the butt. It would work sometimes, but not consistently, and often depended on a registry hack or symlink to work. Now with the new interface for default apps, as long as I have the new Windows Notepad app installed when I change the defaults for “open with”, it just works! For all the file extensions, all the time. Honestly it’s a much better experience and it’s ACCESSIBLE to the lay person.

Set it via group policy (local or domain) and forget about it.

They misspelled VPN

I mean they make the chips in PS5 and xbox too.

Deleted comment: “Tech people already get well into the six figures starting out of college… if anything, they fucked everything up for the rest of us, then ducked out to live in a cottage in Montana somewhere during COVID. Honestly I’m tired of hearing of their “struggles”.”

Hahahahahahahahaha. When I started with IBM in 2010 (NOT fresh out of college, about 5 years experience) I made less than 40k with them.

What one are you using that is outdoor rated?

It’s all good, it’s a Kasa KP200 rated at 15A / 1875W. Heater is actually only a 500W.

It’s in a treehouse and I wanted something low wattage so it was safe to touch.

I recently added a heater on a smart outlet and toggled it on and off vs a BLE Temp / Humidity sensor from Govee.

You could do something similar based on your needs and comforts.

I’m running the go2rtc addon to create a camera dashboard in home assistant. I basically use onboard SD card storage for my recordings and don’t have a need for a full blown NVR. The cameras have motion triggers within home assistant so I can trigger automations if I want with that.

I run Reolink cameras at home and like them fine. Have three cameras and two doorbells.

Might depend on what you want to do with them though.

Also, can you elaborate on what you mean by flashed sonoff plugs and pre-flashed kauf bulbs? Feel like I’m missing something fun there.
