I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.

They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.

It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…

So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?

They don’t say why the US hasn’t paid out yet, and the way it’s stated in this article and the linked article inside implies that it’s a failing on the government side.

With the significant delays and attempts to bring in off shore labor, it’s much more likely that the factory hasn’t hit the targets needed to receive the subsidy.

The government is using the cash as an incentive to build the factory, not just handing out cash for no reason. Just like the Foxconn factory that failed in Wisconsin, they need to hit milestones to get the money, it doesn’t get handed out upfront, otherwise they’d risk a company just taking the money and running.

Yeah, depending on what you use SSH for, the top two pictures are switched.

A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.

Well, with multiple users you’d need to decide what the use case is for the whole NAS and then work down from there.

Are you sharing everything in the NAS with everyone? In that case your NAS setup is fine, just a little permissive, because with RW to everything, the end users can break everything.

If it were me setting this up, I’d have different mount points for different users. 1 mount for each user that only they can read/write (not even you should be able to see it), and 1 mount that everyone can read/write, maybe if you want to go a little bonkers, 1 mount that everyone can read, but only you can write to.

Then you’d mount those three to separate mounts in your /media, and you can link them from your home directory for specific use cases.

Obviously this is completely overkill, but you can take the parts that sound appealing to you and ignore the rest.

How many users are there?

Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).

Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?

That’s actually not true, and framework has similar issues. There was vampire power drains from certain mix and match options with HDMI and USB-C ports.

On the AMD framework, the upper right and left USB-C ports are slightly different from the lower ports

I love my framework laptop, but we shouldn’t pretend that they are free from quirks that plague other brands.

Steelseries 7x does that, but they’re over the ear and need a dongle on Windows. Works fine for me

Legally, if I ask if you’re a cop, you have to answer truthfully.

0:36 Gaming.
4:38 Microsoft Office.
5:31 Photoshop.
7:15 Ecosystem of Linux.
9:39 Hardware compatibility.

Even if they shut down today, the parts are out there. You can swap in from a donor laptop in ways that would be impossible for most others. Not to mention the fact that the critical parts are upgradable with standard parts from 3rd parties.

They supported the same hardware upgrade cycle for three full generations.

Even if they don’t keep going forever, they still succeeded in a huge way.

Yup, in the same boat and that looks like a good plan.

Cloud gaming is bad for history. If the game was only released for the cloud, and that game is shut down, or the cloud service shuts down, that game is gone forever.

They want to push it, because it gives them control over every aspect of the experience. They know everything you do in the game, you can’t mod it, you can’t pirate, you can’t play offline, you can’t do anything unless they say you can.

I signed up for the original family plan, and they raised my prices multiple times.

They also killed off YouTube premium light.

I think you’re only paying the original price cause of a glitch.
