It can’t be checkmate if the wind has blown over all the pieces.

No, he’d probably use something made by a reputable company.

Maybe at the office, but for real security in the batcave? He’d be on Waynux

I know enough about electrics that I might be able to help, but I’m not a security system expert.

A lot of these old wired systems are basically continuity detectors. If someone breaks a window or opens a door, continuity breaks, and therefore an alarm sounds. It’s like flipping a switch from on to off. And the IR stuff is just ordinary motion detection, the technology is still really common today.

You might be able to do a variety of stuff with that, depending on exactly what’s installed and how technically adept you are.

If you can find the service or installation manual for your old panel, you can find out how it was wired up. Sometimes the patch panels are pretty basic, and you might be able to wire the connections into any number of things. Maybe a new alarm panel - or maybe a Raspberry Pi you can program to do different things when windows and doors open or close. For example, when continuity breaks on your front door, you can tell the system to turn on your indoor lights.

So yes, there’s a lot you can potentially do with it all. It all depends on how much work you want to put into it, and whether you can figure out how it’s all connected.

I have one Brilliant Schemer and one Beautiful Idiot, and I wouldn’t trade either of them ♥️

Yeah, these days I play everything with a controller - because I’d rather sit on the couch than in a desk chair.

The atmosphere is just air. Air doesn’t have mass or weight, that’s why it floats.

Doesn’t basically every political philosopher hate the governments built off their philosophies?

No, it’s not. It’s all empty space under the foundation. There’s nothing to create crushing force against the building.

Solution: construct the buildings upside down, so the foundations are up in the air and the roofs are underground. That way, the electricity will flow down instead of up.

If you are in the United States, ISPs are largely unregulated and charge whatever the fuck they want. They make ridiculous profits.

Many other developed countries have dramatically cheaper internet access with significantly higher speeds.

Nutritional yeast is sold at lots of grocery stores, especially organic ones.

And it’s delicious. I add it to most food I cook. Many folks also use it as the base for vegan cheese.

I can’t answer your vitamin question, but I thought this would help.

Lol, “thinking”

It’s a database, my dude

Jerry?

One thing to keep in mind about the terminal:

In Linux, many GUI tools are simply pretty interfaces for the terminal. That’s why folks tell you that you’ll need the terminal occasionally, no matter what: you might need to type in commands that don’t already have a friendly GUI.

The terminal isn’t that scary, though! Every big distro has a support community. And if you need to do something in the terminal? Someone else has definitely needed to do the same thing, so you won’t need to figure it out on your own.

I mostly use Bazzite in front of a big TV. When I first set up the computer, I needed to use the terminal to configure a couple of things related to network shares. Later, I used it to help specific devices wake up the computer from sleep. It’s been months since then, and I’m not sure I’ve needed the terminal for anything else.

Use it as an opportunity to learn how your computer works. It’s really satisfying to understand how things happen.
